I have made some archives to help preserve Counterparty’s rich art history.
Xchain Archive
Size: 16.9 GB
The archive contains 14,063 images, each associated with a token and a project. I created it on January 16, 2024. It should contain all assets with a project label (less 10 images that failed to download).
Archive secured with on-chain hash; see xcp.dev and decoder.
Image URL Archive
Size: 12.9 GB
The archive contains 13,614 images, each linked to from a token’s description (direct URL or through a json file). If a service provider shuts down, this archive can be used to restore the images. I created the archive on July 17, 2022.
Archive secured with on-chain hash; see xcp.dev and decoder.
Dogeparty Image Archive
Size: 4.7 GB
This is a similar image URL archive for Dogeparty. It contains 4368 images, saved on May 24, 2022.
Archive secured with on-chain hash; see xchain.
Download
I have uploaded a torrent with above archives (37 GB). Download and share to help preserve Counterparty.
Note
Do not confuse Counterparty with the “social art layer” built on top of it. Artists have in various ways associated images with their tokens, unfortunately often with URLs subject to link-rot or through off-chain directories. My archives serve to protect these image-token relationships. The Counterparty tokens themselves are perfectly safe, secured by the Bitcoin blockchain. Read more.
Verify
The xchain archive has a sha256 checksum that begins with 1dc1762631ca6b58855f44b4d4417d93bd. You can confirm this by running the file through a hash generator. The hash is timestamped onchain, which any Counterparty-aware Bitcoin explorer will confirm (see links above).
The URL Image archives are a little bit more complicated. The hash is not of the zip file – but of a receipt file inside the archive. The receipt contains hashes of all images. The advantage is that you can have a partial archive and be able to confirm any image file (as long as you also have the receipt file). See Github.
