Those are my compatriots as it happens and I'm very happy to have them as marketcap bedfellows. They've got their office in a sleepy little golfing town that you would not believe if you saw it. It's about as far away from a Manhattan skyscraper as you could imagine and about the most exciting thing that happens is a new ice cream flavour turning up at the local seaside cafe.
I doubt that the locals have a clue as to the mini revolution thats brewing on their doorstep.
I lived across the road from and attended the University where that project was hatched and have been quite astounded by the success they've had - though I'm not invested (should have obviously).
All in all, good company for Dash I reckon !
I had great experiences with them too. During the ICO, I purchased coins from a BTC wallet that I later discovered was compromised (freaking Counterparty incompetence...their web wallet screwed up the R-value). I immediately emailed the lead devs and they responded right away and sent my coins to a new wallet after I signed a message with the old one. I was really impressed at how accessible they were and responsive they were.
Sorry about your Counterparty experience. I always thought they had the coolest, most noble launch ever by using proof of burn. They have had some security issues, but I've stuck with counterparty-cli + Bitcoin Core and not had any problems. Web wallets just scare me.
Maybe when the Counterparty devs get sick of dealing with taunts from Luke-Jr they will port everything over to DashParty!
