Can someone explain medici?
Medici is to stocks and shares what bitcoin is to money. edit: bitcoin with a lower case b, as both use the Bitcoin network. So it's like asset exchange on Next? Forgive my ignorance Counterparty has its own asset exchange. Medici brings regulatory compliance, user interfaces, professional services, off-chain stuff, etc., so that users can trade shares of public companies, e.g., (on Counterparty) legally and easily. Counterparty is the primary technological platform; Medici is an application and service. (Think Bitcoin/Coinbase.) Can you make a comment on the following questions? Will Medici have it's own blockchain and therefore their own native token? Will Medici track company shares on the Bitcoin blockchain and utilize the Counterparty protocol to do this? After the Las Vegas conference it was communicated that Medici will be a front end interface to Counterparty. Did this change in any way? Will the video be online at some point? Maybe someone from the Counterparty team could put it online

From the information publicly available now it's pretty clear that it will use the Bitcoin blockchain (there really is no logical reason to make a new one), and yes.

Thanks for everyone who has answered me XCP should be the cheapest and easiest crypto to trade with on any platform built on Counterparty for almost any reason. agreed for that, I like the xcp and POB.

I believe, what he/she meant was that XCP should be the least costly commissions/taxes wise. The value of XCP in general will surely start to rise on some point when Counterparty gets more popular and widely used.

Even you dont accept XCP as a valid coin to process the payment!! Please more respect to XCP We are working on integrating XCP payment and should have that option available soon. In the meantime anyone is welcomed to contact us at info@counterpartyfoundation.org to make arrangements for paying the membership in XCP.

If someone from counterparty could check out my question on the bitcoin stack exchange, I'd appreciate it! Here's the link: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/35645/how-can-counterparty-tokens-be-distributedBasically, I'm wondering if counterparty tokens can be distributed in a decentralized way at all, or if they can only be created and issued to a single address. It would be really cool if there were a way to use the bitcoin block chain for security of transactions, but still issue tokens via a mining process.

You should make an effort and define " in a decentralized way" and get rid of the nonsensical idea that mining would serve that purpose better than giving them away for any resource (a fundraiser achieves the same here, there is also a resource required to obtain coins (money as opposed to hashing power (hashing power = electricity/money + mining equipement = knowledge + money))). Edit: I think you are talking about user issued assets / custom tokens on Counterparty... The same as above applies: Distribution via mining is not more decentralized than given them away for any other resource. Not idea whether you could let someone mine user issued assets but I also do not see a reason / use case. And the Bitcoin blockchain is used with Counterparty for processing tx.

You could distribute them by using a burning process instead of selling them, like Counterparty did with XCP.

Thanks for your help, Delulo. Yes, I am talking about user issued assets. I understand what you mean about mining being just as centralized of a way to hand out tokens as giving them in exchange for another resource (if not more centralized). But I think we are thinking about different methods to issue tokens for resources. Like mining, I was hoping there is some way to distribute tokens of a particular asset according to some set schedule and to any node, rather than one person creating all the tokens and giving them out according to those rules. The first case I would think of as decentralized distribution, and the second as centralized distribution. Maybe I am just not sufficiently familiar with counterparty, but I thought only one entity could issue additional tokens for a particular asset at a time. Is this correct? I know you can transfer the rights to issue new tokens, but I'm thinking it would be interesting if assets could be created in a process similar to mining (although, as you said, energy doesn't have to be the resource consumed), where tokens are distributed in a certain schedule and not through a central entity.
