It should be resolved within 24h. Don't worry guys. Fractastical (Joel) of SWARM is reliable and knows what he's doing. He reported the bug to Counterwallet devs when he noticed it, and they are cooperating on fixing it. He took the time to write it out comprehensively and screenshot everything that was wrong. Nobody is throwing anyone under the bus, and there is nothing 'mysterious' going on. With software that is constantly being developed, sometimes bugs appear. Just give it a day or so.
It was rapidly resolved. I don't think this is a big deal. These things come up in the course of many projects and people just need to be patient since software is complex and technical issues can take a bit of time to resolve sometimes.
You are right more patience is needed. But I can't blame buybitcoinscanada and others for how they feel. It does seem the whole swarm investment/project is not going smoothly for investors in this early stage. But we must all try to remember that swarm is indeed in very early stages. Good to hear from you fractastical here.
Unfortunately my time is limited to where I can't respond to every single post. Ouziel is becoming the Counterwallet/Counterblockd team lead, and we've hired two additional developers.
Where does the money come from? Is Counterparty VC funded?
I mean it looks like you hire a lot of people, that's really good but it seems unlikely that you are funding all of that from your own pocket or mere donation.
I would guess over 98% of the money spent on Counterparty comes directly from the Founders personal funds.
I remember when I first burned bitcoins the Counterparty devs saying that they were self sufficient or something like that. Still, it does amaze me that they continue to pour resources into Counterparty. They must be using their personal funds from their previous successful businesses. I've had to sell some of my burned XCPs but it is because of the devs that I've done everything I can to still keep a respectable amount to hold. Notice I didn't say hodl, getting sick of hearing that.
So its another reminder that the devs never ask for donations but it certainly would be welcome.
