Frequently Asked Questions

Simply add the bot to Telegram by clicking "Add to Telegram" on our homepage, or search for @countertrader_io_bot. Send /start to begin, then use /connect to link your wallet.

You can create listings without connecting a wallet, but connecting allows you to browse your inventory, use quick-sell features, and access premium bulk operations.

Yes! Basic trading features are completely free. Premium features like bulk listing require holding the COUNTERTRADR token.

Use /wts for sell listings or /wtb for buy listings. Example: /wts RAREPEPE 1 500 creates a listing to sell 1 RAREPEPE for $500 USD.

You can price listings in USD or BTC. The bot will display both values for transparency. Example: /wts PEPECASH 100 0.001BTC

Listings remain active for 30 days by default. You'll receive a notification before expiration to renew if needed.

Use /listings to browse all active listings, /orderbook [ASSET] to see the orderbook for a specific asset, or /match to find trades matching your inventory.

Yes! CounterTrader has built-in escrow protection. When taking a listing, choose "Escrow" mode for blockchain-verified deposits. The escrow provider holds assets until both parties fulfill their obligations.

Escrow trades are protected by a third-party holder - both parties deposit to escrow addresses and assets are released when verified. P2P trades are direct swaps between trusted parties with no middleman. Use /escrow or /p2p to view your active trades.

Browse listings with /browse or /listings, then tap "Take" on any listing. Select your quantity, accept or make an offer, then choose Escrow (recommended) or P2P mode. The counterparty will receive a notification to accept.

P2P trades are direct trades between premium users. The seller selects their payment method and address, the buyer sends payment, then both parties confirm completion. There is no escrow protection - only trade with users you trust.

Use /p2p to see your active trades. When the trade is complete, tap "Confirm" to record your confirmation. The trade finalizes when both seller and buyer confirm.

Yes! When you receive a P2P trade request, you can tap "Request Escrow Instead" to decline the P2P and ask the initiator to resend with escrow protection.

COUNTERTRADR is a Counterparty token that unlocks premium features when held in a connected wallet. It's a one-time purchase that provides lifetime access to bulk listing, P2P trading, and priority support.

Yes, P2P trading requires both parties to be premium users (holding COUNTERTRADR) or whitelisted. This ensures accountability for trust-based trades. Escrow trading is available to all users.

Acquire COUNTERTRADR tokens from a dispenser on Tokenscan, then connect the holding wallet to your bot account using /connect. Premium features unlock automatically.

/bulklist scans your connected wallet, fetches floor prices for all assets, and creates listings automatically. You can filter by collection, adjust prices with percentages, and use keep:N to preserve copies.

When bulk listing, use keep:1 (or any number) to preserve that many copies of each asset. For example, /bulklist keep:1 will only list assets where you have 2+ copies, keeping 1 for your collection.

Use /connect and follow the prompts. You'll need to sign a message with your wallet to prove ownership. We support Bitcoin addresses that hold Counterparty assets.

Yes! You can connect multiple addresses. When creating listings or using bulk operations, you can specify which address to use or operate on all addresses at once.

Floor prices are sourced from CounterTools, which aggregates listings from various marketplaces. We also factor in our own OTC listings for accurate pricing.

Assets are flagged when the floor price is significantly below the last sale price (default: 20% threshold). This protects you from listing at unusually low prices. You can adjust this threshold in /settings.
