I'm not sure if this has been posted:

Overstock.com itself began accepting Bitcoin shortly after his interview with News BTC late last year. Mr. Byrne was the keynote speaker at "Bitcoin 2014" this month and boldly claimed that Overstock.com, which is a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, is mulling a dual listing for his company's shares on decentralized exchange on the Bitcoin Blockchain e.g. CounterParty.

Can a dev confirm or deny talks with overstock ?

Privacy in Counterparty is really important.
Like with bitcoin, we don't want people to know how many dividends we earned and which assets we are holding, or even trades strategy on each asset, etc

So a mixer or other privacy system is a big improvement, or requirement.

Agreed. Privacy is critical to counterparty.

You do want it to be visible how many dividends are earned - that's a huge benefit of on blockchain accounting - it's completely transparent. Of course there is no link between your identity and said address without your willing participation - in other words transparent and anonymous accounting!

I imagine in the long run something like a zerocoin style mixing could be possible in Counterparty - but realistically the amount of hype around these 'anonymity' improvements is very disproportional to what they actually bring to the table. For example Darkwallet is mostly just a technically elegant replacement for using a centralized exchange to mix, the later of which is despite all flaws a very much functional system that still solves exactly the same problem. And Darkcoin is just another Auroracoin style scam.

This is an insanely good idea.

hm....  I think that's just a feature,Counterparty has much more important features than Anonymous.

"Another very cool thing is programmable dividends. It is now trivial in Bitcoin 2.0 technology, at least with Counterparty (XCP), to issue dividends. However dividends don’t have to be in Bitcoin or any currency, they can be  a token that represents a free coffee at your favorite coffee shop."

A Nasdaq company on Counterparty would be huge.

Yes. You'll have to follow up with something for details, though.

Just thought of something while taking a dump  

How come XCP doesn't have a multipool which mine other coins, buy XCP and pay to the miners with XCP?

I am in the process of making one.
hope the community here will support it.

Any news about this? GPU mining is not really profitable anymore so maybe with multipool we can get much publicity for xcp then when price start go up?
