[ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread

[PhantomPhreak]

Everybody, there is an enormous amount of misinformation going around in the press. We're working to fix that ASAP. In the meantime, please help us correct errors as you see them!

For the record:

1) Overstock.com and Counterparty are partnering to build a platform (Medici) for trading stocks on Counterparty and using Counterparty's decentralized exchange.

2) I, along with Ouziel (JahPowerBit), will continue working on the Counterparty protocol full-time. Robby and Evan will continue to work on Counterparty full-time because Medici is a front-end for Counterparty.

The Wired and Coindesk articles make it sound as though we are abandoning this project. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Thank you,
Adam

For the record: i think both Medici and Counterpart need to hire a User Interface/ User Experience specialist to take it to the next level.

Anyway, I dont really seem to understand

Are you guys building a nasdaq like stock exchange? where everyone would trade stocks using counterparty coin?

how would the traditional brick-n-mortal companies get listed on your exchange? what will be the procedures?

What do you foresee the future of Medici? What's Medici role in this?

What are your visions?


Kindly advise

Thanks

Ok, everything is very clear !

I am supposing Patrick Byrne couldn't really tell shareholders than Overstock will directly support something with millions they won't own and pay devs with huge income who are in fact working full-time for an open-source project.

He has no choice (at the moment) to say they are pioneering alone a stock exchange, even if the reality is just a business with fees like banks, as Patrick Byrne said, and a front-end which is already almost done and which will be directly benefit Counterparty.

What do you think ?

[Palmdetroit]

Many who own Overstock I would imagine would be sympathetic to what PB is trying to do. It gives me hope to see those with some status willing to fight for what they believe in.

I'm curious of what Elite opposition we will see, hes had some before (shorts)...hm... a competitive product,. or something more sinister?
