Bitcoin to Gain Ethereum’s Functionality Through Counterparty, Launch by Autumn

Counterparty is to launch Ethereum’s Virtual Machine on testnet in two weeks, with a mainnet launch estimated around Autumn 2016, bringing Ethereum’s smart contract functionality to Bitcoin.

Counterparty’s EVM is 99% the same as Ethereum’s, according to sources, and has 85% test coverage, higher than Ethereum’s python core library, Pyethereum, according to a press release.

Be VERY careful about using any technology pioneered by the Ethereum people.

This shit is so full of hackable holes, I'd be very wary using services based on any of it.

The "new bylaws" quick-fix isn't going to help much in the future. Its still a big attack surface masquerading as a useful computing language.
