29 oct. 2015 - Counterparty Improvement Proposals Started

Description:

A Counterparty Improvement Proposal is a design document providing information to the Counterparty community. A CIP usually describes a new feature in detail for Counterparty as it relates directly to the protocol code, its processes or environment. Counterparty Improvement Proposal #1, written by Devon Weller, simply gave an example of how a CIP should be written and presented to the community.

CIPs became the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, for collecting community input on an issue and for documenting the design decisions that will go into Counterparty in the future.

Many times in this process, if a CIP was not accepted or integrated into the protocol, it would commonly still be developed and experimented with by the CIP author using their own infrastructure or open-source code.

From this date till May of 2024, Counterparty Improvement Proposals were the center of community involvement and heated debate with extensive coding additions or philosohpical improvements to the protocol.

These discussions extended into the Github CIP discussions channel, Counterparty Forums, an older dedicated Slack channel, and many other various Telegram chats.

Since May of 2024, CIPs and the Counterparty Forums were halted and archived by Adam Krellenstein. At this time, most code centric discussions now take place with in the 'counterparty-core' issues section.

More general discussion is now primarily is centered in the 'Forum' section of the Counterparty Github.
