12 Myths about CounterpartyXCP

• http://www.scribd.com/doc/238520096/12-Myths-about-CounterpartyXCP
• http://coinedtalk.com/12-myths-about-counterpartyxcp/

Myth 1: Counterparty is just Bitcoin 2.0 marketing hype.

Myth 2: Counterparty’s internal currency, XCP, is just another alt-coin.

Myth 3: Counterparty is just another project where the developers want to get rich quick. They will just run away with the money.

Myth 4: Counterparty development is dead and nothing works yet.

Myth 5: Counterwallet stores your passphrase and private keys on their servers!

Myth 7: If Bitcoin can be used in Counterparty, then XCP doesn’t have value.

Myth 8: I want to create a poll on the Blockchain, but Counterparty doesn’t have a voting feature.

Myth 9: You can’t store XCP or assets in cold storage. There is no 2FA!

Myth 10: Counterparty is polluting the Bitcoin blockchain with useless data and weighing down the network. This is a “free ride” on top of Satoshis hard work!

Myth 11: Counterparty is missing multi-sig support.

Myth 12: Broadcast feed betting is centralized.

So does it "mysteriously fail with some addresses" or were there "some counterwallet bugs that prevented us from doing the SWARM distribution"? Are you hoping it gets resolved in the next 24 hours or are you investigating alternartive options? Which bug (or is it now several bugs, lol) is specifically causing the sudden and mysterious issue? Posting a link listing ALL of the counterwallet bugs in existence is not sufficient. Post the specific bug (s).

Funny how you were perfectly able to distribute all the original swarmpre, swarm, swarmvoteone AND swarmvotetwo without this undefined bug which you have yet to specify and provide a source, yet when the vote goes against the option that you attempted to manipulate investors into choosing, well it suddenly appears affecting distribution of the remaining tokens. That IS MYSTERIOUS!

It's a slight glitch that should be resolved within a day or so. Joel (fractastical) of SWARM has comprehensively reported the issues ASAP to the Counterwallet dev team. Relax, not everything has to be a conspiracy

It does when the swarm team keep trying to f*** the investors in the **s.

Now that's just silly

Is there a commitment to transparency regarding salaries and "agents and miscellaneous" (genuine Q, I haven't seen it)?  Regular reports, published BTC addresses, that sort of thing?

We've committed to holding a monthly meeting with our advisors (at the moment Vitalik Buterin, David Johnston and xnova of Counterparty), after which we release the minutes and a monthly progress report including expenditures.

The agenda suggested was:

    (1) Reporting on the previous month's accomplishments in a format similar to the following:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkAYilpVrnk4dHQ2R0UyVzAtM05faER6M1RoWXpUZFE&usp=drive_web#gid=3

   This includes detailed breakdowns of code commits, lines of code, and growth metrics like number of active users, ideally with associated graphs.

    (2) Reviewing the past month's expenditures

    (3) Approving projected expenditures for the next month expenditures

Meeting notes will be transcribed and made available to the public.

And what about this? I don't see any reports from you guys? It would be nice to here from your so called advisors Vitalik Buterin, David Johnston and xnova of Counterparty

[samlowes52]

IIRC, You were talking of a working prototype of the SWARM platform. When will it be available for (beta?) testing ?

Good luck with the project.

Thanks. We will have something ready (i.e. dashboard) by the time we launch the first couple coins in about a month. Fuller platform will be ready in August.

And I guess it is not August yet? Or did you forget to code after seeing a million dollars? Have you paid for a lifetime gym membership, hookers and blows, et al.?

Exactly. Counterparty team fixed the problem rapidly and the SWARM distribution went out as planned. First distribution of COMICCOIN should also be received by the time you read this message.

Thanks for the distribution. I see that we have also got the COMIC COIN. Yes it will be really helpful if we can get away from that counterparty cluster. It's too confusing, very slow and charges huge fees.
A platform is really needed now. I know that you're busy developing but a few pics of the platform would be great

nice.

Do you plan to add SWARM to a centralized exchange ? Because Counterparty exchange lacks of liquidity and it would be nice to let the market discover the price of SWARM.

It's been on my agenda for a long time and really any exchange could integrate SWARM at any point, but so far we've had limited successes in communication with exchanges. Anyone who wants to provide contacts at any of the main ones, would be much appreciated.

Try contacting melotic. They've intergrated XCP and SJCX, and they handle counterparty assets depostis and withdrawals quite fast. They lack volume on other coins so they might be intrested in having the exclusivity on an asset.
