Swarm
I'd like to invest in Swarm.  Can I do that from the online wallet?

Yes, you can use Counterwallet or Blockchain.info.

Is Swarm currently an asset listed in Counterwallet? What is the official name?

Edit: Or will it only be available on June 17? I see a few assets for sale now with the Swarm name.

For security reasons we are issuing SWARMPRE through the fundraising period, which will be converted to SWARM at the end of the fundraiser.

Both of these assets are already created and visible.

Do I need to contact someone at Swarm in order to find out where to send the BTC?  www.swarmcorp.com doesn't have any contact info.

I'd like to invest in Swarm.  Can I do that from the online wallet?

Yes, you can use Counterwallet or Blockchain.info.

Has anyone put together info on how to go about that?  I haven't used a decentralized asset exchange before.

There is no need to use the DEx. Here is the process.

1. Fund Counterwallet with your bitcoins or XCP
2. Send the bitcoins or XCP to the address specified by an official Swarm representative
3. The Swarm coins will show up in the address you sent from automatically
4. That is all

Here are a couple videos that show Counterpwallet's functionality. It's quite intuitive.

Is there any way to verify the Swarm balance on my address if I choose to send BTC from a BTC wallet?

I believe that would be possible directly in Counterwallet.

You will need to use Blockscan if you use Blockchain.info to initialize your balance of Swarm coins.

Blockscan: http://blockscan.com/

Would I need to import my private key to Counterwallet or Blockchain in order to check the Swarm balance there?

That's incorrect, Matt. You can check the balances of any address at Blockscan.com.

You can also set an arbitrary address as a 'watch-only' address in Counterwallet, in case you do want to you that. (No private key imports.)

Never spend your money before you have it.
I understand this service is a centralized publisher of the bet feeds/winners so other bettors involved do not need to do that extra work in determining who gets the money. Presumably operators of xbet.io make the feed determinations and place some bets to add liquidity to the betting market.

My question is how variable is the fee you charge for providing that necessary centralized results publishing service? Looking at your site I don't see any fees listed for the various betting feeds you govern and it actually ignores that aspect apparently.
I'm just trying to get a rough % for how this compares to the other centralized bet winner choosing services. Or should we just ignore that and pretend it doesn't exist?

You are one of the only sites/services to publish results for people and that is appreciated!

Sounds great. How do ipos raise fund with vennd? By sending appcoins to vennd to sell on their behave?

Companies or people with tech skills can install, configure and run Vennd themselves. Vennd is open source in the same spirit as Counterparty and Bitcoin.

For those who want a highly customized solution which is fully hosted using industry best practises, that is a service that can be provided by vennd.io. In this latter scenerio, yes companies would send their appcoins to a preconfigured vending machine to be sold. However the huge differentiation between Vennd and a conventional vending machine is that Vennd does NOT need to control the private key where BTC is being paid. The Bitcoins can be sent directly into an offline wallet, or even a multisig address.

Crowdfunding with BTC is exactly the same as crowdfunding with XCP because of Vennd. Vennd also allows for very easy crowdfunding in other currencies besides XCP. While your point held true a month ago, that is no longer the case.

To be clear: Funding a project with BTC is *exactly* the same as funding it with XCP. Neither coin is easier or harder to fund a project with, the process is the same for BTC and XCP through the use of Vennd.

Vennd: http://www.vennd.io/

I had not considered Vennd in my reasoning. Although I'm well aware of Vennd, and if the implementation is stable, I'd consider it to be Counterparty's "killer-app".

I mean, cross-blockchain coin vending is the "Bitcoiner's Dream".

It's one of the killer apps on Counterparty that's for sure.

The ability to bet on anything, at anytime, with anyone, with no trusted third party (besides a feed operator) and with no risk of nonpayment is groundbreaking technology with a huge market and it is only available on Counterparty. That is a killer app as well.
