I don't see Counterparty mentioned on the bitsim site

I just want to shed some light based on all the podcasts and videos I've listened to Patrick Byrne talk about Medici. First off to have an ipo makes medici sound like a business rather than a platform. Medici is specifically going to be a virtualized version of wallstreet. One thing Patrick (CEO of Overstock) does mention though, is that as soon as they launch medici they (overstock) will be the first company to list it's shares publicly on the platform so we will be able to immediately start buying overstock...stock


***EDIT***
One more thing, and this is why I see XCP rising in price dramatically in the future, potentially larger than bitcoin. XCP represents a stake in the protocol itself right? The way I think of it is this, if overstock succeeds in creating a bitcoin wallstreet and hundreds and thousands of startups and other companies begin to desire to use their platform (which is run on counterparty) to list their shares online then people with XCP will essentially be equivalent to in the physical world owning actual land in wallstreet that someone wants to use for their business. Oh, you want to work here on wallstreet? Well I have some land here I'm willing to trade you to get your business up and running, just slide me over some equity in your company lol.

My suggestion to scrap the IPO. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9266647

It's not really been picked up by "mainstream" Bitcoin news though. It dropped off the Reddit radar pretty quickly too. I'd be surprised if Coindesk don't do a big Vennd and Vennd-related-projects piece soon.

Maxmint ran a service where he burnt BTC for people who were not technically inclined enough to do it themselves. Because of this, whatever number you guys come up with will be a touch low. I'm not sure how much volume he did in total, but I think it was a pretty decent chunk.

I was surprised the Vennd news did not move the price more. It seems like a similar play to Overstock that is based out of Australia with a side dish of really sweet cell phone tech from one of the first and most innovative entrepreneurs in the Counterparty ecosystem, who also happens to have a fairly impressive background in finance/consulting type stuff if I'm not mistaken. I'm eager to see timelines for this project and to get more information in general from both Vennd and Medici.

bitSIM is fascinating. The Counterparty ecosystem is blossoming in all directions.

This entire article is inspiring - http://bravenewcoin.com/news/vennd-powers-next-gen-crowd-funding/.

Speaking of upward pressure on XCP, have you guys seen this? 

"bitSIM will enable anyone with a mobile phone to securely own and perform Counterparty and Bitcoin transactions and streamline access and control of their Blockchain Assets. Vennd.io will provide the basis for liquidity providers to list their assets on a secondary market rather than a centralized registry. Details of the first instrument to be listed for sale will be released in the following weeks."

You're right. The best statistic would be how much XCP is either still in the burn address or has been moved only once, say (for wallet reorganization/management).

It would be awful to scare Blockchain and Blockr etc. away by requesting them to look into Counterparty support/integration too soon. It will happen inevitably if Counterparty and it's surrounding ecosystem continue to develop at this relentless pace!

Moving from burning address could mean wallet reorganization, still 40% is unbelievable.  

if blockchain or blockr can link from bitcoin addresses to blockscan that would be a huge approve fron the commcommunity.  Maybe we should reach out to them.

Amazing. And...

[1] The growth has been quite slow and steady throughout that time.
[2] XCP is a deflating asset.
[3] Very little trading volume is required to maintain the price.
[4] XCP will inevitably be listed on serious exchanges, as this integration work opens them up to all the other Counterparty assets.
[5] The same argument could be made for wallets like Blockchain.info eventually supporting the Counterparty Protocol.
[6] Strong hands investors - something like 46%* of the burned XCP have not moved from their burn addresses.

Patrick said three months for software and hopefully six months for regulatory work.

Think about it, 1500% within less than a year and it's not even mainstream. 

And buy.

Are there any proposed timelines on when Medici is expected to be operational?

Fair enough, but the project is not even 1 year old. Investing for only a few weeks/months doesn't make sense. The value of XCP in the next few years could be significant. HODL! =D

Thanks.

It is never silly to sell when you have made 1500% return

You can't predict the future, even if it looks bright for XCP
