As an explanation, what this means is that Overstock.com has committed to using Counterparty as the platform for issuing securities on the Bitcoin blockchain, e.g. for public companies, over all other Bitcoin 2.0 tech. Robby (xnova) and Evan (cityglut) will be working on that particular goal, because of their expertise with Counterparty, even as we hire more developers to work with me full-time on the core protocol and ecosystem.

Thanks Adam for those clarifications!

So will that Overstock system be more like a public frontend other companies that want to go public or "dual list" their shares can use or will it be a non public enterprise version of Counterparty?

Remains the question: And XCP will have the same functions and value in that Overstock-System?

The next mega-bubble will start with crypto 2.0, especially XCP, not BTC or altcoins...
It is only the beginning.

+1 Definitely!

Would be nice if there could be some more detailed info on how the Stock-issuing-system-by-Overstock described here http://www.wired.com/2014/10/overstock-com-assembles-coders-build-bitcoin-like-stock-market/ and Counterparty (the protocol and wallet) interact.

Is the Overstock-Platform a Frontend with all the basic functions and rules Counterparty has atm?

And XCP will have the same functions and value in that Overstock-System?

Congrats xnova, very happy for you since you invested a lot of personal resources for Counterparty.

Is the other developer mentioned in the announcement, Phantom Phreak?

No, I will be staying to continue to work on Counterparty full-time. The other hire is Evan Wagner (cityglut).

Much appreciated Phantom. Been following/lurking/supporting this protocol since the beginning.

This is about as meaningful as it gets with regards to traction.

Yes, we'd like commit millions of dollars to build a decentralized stock exchange with you on that platform you built. K, thanks.

Well done Adam, Evan, Robby, and the rest of the Counterparty team.

Congrats to dev for their visions ! I remember when devs have to pay from their own pockets after a hack 6 months ago.

People where complaining that we've burned and destroyed sacred BTC or even we were bloating the blockchain with 0.01% more data...Now Counterparty is becoming the next financial standard and a Nasdaq Cie will choose Counterparty to issue stocks, and I suppose dividends...

build on top of counterparty

congratulations counterparty team - you deserved it Wink

It is currently speculation that The Medici Project is built on top of Counterparty. However, it would be surprising if the project wasn't a frontend to the Counterparty Protocol, much in the same way that Vennd and Swarm are.

How does XCP the token fit into this? If Medici sits on top of the Counterparty protocol it will need to use the tokens like any other asset issuer, is this correct?

I can confirm it as well.

Yep! The technology will always remain completely decentralized.
