 Cool

Great work, XCP team. That's one nifty site.

Thanks for the Humint team (Wendell, Lars, Matt and crew) for putting the site together. Great job.

I'm certain Ryan Charles knows about Counterparty because Counterparty uses Insight, which he has worked on. https://github.com/bitpay/insight

That, combined with the Overstock news (which I'm guessing is coming from Patrick on the 6th), makes me confident that Counterparty will not be overlooked as a possible solution if Counterparty is in line with what they're looking for.


Do we know or do we have reason to assume that the twitter post by Patrick that he wants to announce something in Las Vegas in good news for counterparty? Was that discusses here before?

That is something I am assuming based off of information that is available in the public domain. I could be wrong.

The topic of Patrick's keynote is: The blockchain has proved very well suited to the exchange of digital currency. But what about exchanging shares of public companies? Overstock.com CEO Patrick M. Byrne, a longtime critic of Wall Street, is actively pursuing a model for trading stock on a peer to peer basis *using the Bitcoin protocol*. In his talk, Byrne will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by a decentralized stock exchange.

It says he's looking to use the Bitcoin protocol. The only 2.0 platform that is *built on bitcoin* and has publicly stated they've spoken to Overstock is Counterparty. If Mastercoin or Colored Coins were speaking with Overstock I think we would have heard something about it by now.



I think Bitshares tried a dialogue with them. Don't have the details, maybe someone can fill in.

Seems reddit is getting into the cryptosecurity game. Wouldn't Counterparty be the best option for this? http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/reddit-scoops-up-50m-series-b-from-sam-altman-a16z-sequoia-at-500m-valuation/
Either theyll use Counterparty or run into high development costs or unforeseen problems (such as centralization). Interested to see this play out.

counterwallet domain updated to counterwallet.io on the servers. if you're logged in, it will require you to page refresh then log back in

(counterwallet.co still works and will automatically redirect to use counterwallet.io)

Counterparty devs are responsive, not to mention one of the fastest dev teams out there AND one of the only dev teams that not only works for free, but also spends their own personal funds to move a project forward.

Agree with this. I'm wondering whether the devs have any plans to create a foundation and accept memberships/donations to help even more with development?

Counterparty devs are anonymous, so difficult to create any kind of foundation with that. Maybe a few big holders who are not averse to being public can get together and make one.

What ?? They're not anonymous.

were, not are

Didn't know that.

Who are PhantomPhreak and cityglut?

Oh yes, you are right. I guess that is what will eventually happen, but if it means the current devs retiring from the project I think it wouldn't be good for it to happen any time soon.

A difference which makes a difference
Yet another advantage of the Counterparty Protocol running on the Bitcoin Protocol - it will benefit from Bitcoin's other broadcast channel developments - http://kryptoradio.koodilehto.fi/. See Coindesk's article too - http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoiners-finland-send-cryptocurrency-radio/.

So is it true to say that the Counterparty Protocol transactions are currently being beamed to the majority of the population of Finland? The Counterparty Protocol Broadcast Transactions are literally being broadcast!  Grin

I would like to see a feature in counterwallet which adds up the total balances of all the addresses. Currently, it shows them separately, and I have to add manually to get the total for any asset.
