Buy, it's "blood in the streets"

[fractastical]

Swarm will start officially accepting XCP very soon. Stay tuned.

We also welcome XCP supporters to our Skype group, which we plan to use to jumpstart a serious marketing move around Counterparty.

Add "beningram" or "jdietz04" on Skype. Next week is going to be full force ahead.

What is Swarm and why does it matter that it accepts XCP?

This is going to be interesting, I wonder how you plan to pull that off.

True. Our social media coordinator had a major family emergency last week and disappeared just as we were launching. Response time has not been particularly good but she is back and we are pushing forward with more comprehensive material.

Go compare NXT's UI (http://nxt.org) to Counterpary's UI.  NXT's is definitely winning on the UI front.  Counterparty has feeds, betting and CFDs, which NXT doesn't do yet.  NXT has a decentralised asset exchange with faster trading via 1 minute block times and doesn't waste any energy because it's proof-of-stake.  Counterparty has 10 minute block times and relies on Bitcoin, which requires a couple nuclear power plants to run.

...
There are advantages and disadvantages when comparing Counterparty with other decentralized exchanges.  NXT is by far the most user friendly I have found.

One of Swarm's main focuses for the next couple months will be improving the user experience around Counterparty, after which we expect that no one will be able to say that NXT or any other altcoin has better UI.

We plan to do this through swarming other coins, so if you have anything in particular you are itching to do please contact me. We want to support you and the XCP ecosystem.

[fractastical]

These posts, although unpleasant, are also necessary to learn and grow. If we don't understand what we are doing wrong we will continue to do so.

One of the main differences between Nxt and XCP is that NXT has a central lead, someone who is directly responsible and invested in the success of the currency. With XCP no one person is any more invested than the next. We all stand to gain and lose just as much as we invested.

NXT has someone to say "hey, this is a problem, so we are going to do this". Where as XCP doesn't have that central lead or authority. This was the decision of the developers to create a grass-roots free-growing enterprise and only the future will tell how it all turns out. I don't support this model and in the past I have voiced my opinions on the subject so I wont rehash them. It's also important to understand that NXT isn't limited by outside factors (BTC). NXT lives and dies by its own decisions. It is not arbitrarily limited or denied (OP return anyone?) by external forces (BTC developers). The initial XCP developers chose to attach this project to BTC for certain reasons and it was their right to choose so.

Really good points. I assume that Swarm will rapidly become the largest single holder of XCP, so we are very strongly incentivized to see XCP grow.  I have lot of ideas about how this can be done, and invite anyone interested in the future success of Counterparty to contact me individually.

Hard to argue with that.

Agreed.

Top notch. I knew this was just a matter of time.

We wanted to let our users know that our hosting company is experiencing some issues, thus our website is currently unavailable.

We will allow them to sort things out for a few hours and after that we will run our own tests to make sure our system is healthy.

This process will take several hours to complete and therefore we will not broadcast results for several hours.

Our information is backed up so there is no need to be concerned about open bets you have made. All broadcasts will take place as soon as we will be back online.

We can be contacted through bitcointalk.

Thank you for your patience.
