Counterparty News:

Counterparty Foundation news updates are back and Storj / Counterparty community member Nicola Minichiello has been taking the reigns on writing these updates. You can find these updates at counterpartyfoundation.org

Ethereum has now officially launched its “Frontier” platform. A word from our Chief Scientist Adam Krellenstien regarding Smart Contracts, as it relates to the Ethereum Launch date What follows is an official statement from Adam Krellenstein, the lead developer of the counterparty project:

“We’d like to give a quick update where things are at regarding offering the full Ethereum smart contracts functionality on Counterparty mainnet: Currently we’re in a bit of a holding pattern in finishing up the implementation, due to the fact that Ethereum itself is still under heavy testing and development, and its consensus system is still rather centralized. On top of this, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which provides the execution environment for the smart contracts, is not ready for prime-time from both a security and maturity of features standpoint. Before we add the EVM into Counterparty mainnet, we’d like to see much more security testing around it, as putting an insecure and still-rapidly-evolving EVM implementation live into mainnet would have severe consequences to the existing Counterparty ecosystem. Once Ethereum’s own implementations are more mature, stable and tested (with at least a few formal security audits behind it), we will be able to complete the Counterparty implementation. At that point, porting it over to Counterparty should be very straightforward.”

Project of the Week:

The project of the week is Bitnation and we talk with the CEO and Founder Susanne Tempelhof

Project News:

Spells of Genesis moved their crowdsale until this upcoming Tuesday. In a segment from a full report on this move, the Spells of Genesis team stated the following:

We have received a lot of support from different crypto communities that are enthusiast about Spells of Genesis and our BitCrystals Token Sale. By popular demand from the community, we understood how important it was for our supporters that we accept multiple cryptocurrencies during the Token Sale. In order to allow this, we have decided to partner with ShapeShift and Vanbex and switch to a different system.

Coinomi is a free secure lightweight open sourced universal HD wallet for Bitcoin and other Crypto-Currencies and describes itself as such on their website. They currently have and Android wallet with one for iOS coming soon. Under their adding coin section they mention that Counterparty could very well be added to this all in one wallet. From the website the following is stated:

I have researched CounterParty support, the strategy is similar to the CounterWallet (web based): The server runs counterpartyd (instead of an electrum server) that connects to the bitcoind. The client connects to the server via web sockets to get the balance, past transactions, etc. To sent coins the client asks the server for a transaction template. It inspects the transaction for a sanity check (is the sending address the correct one?) and signs it as a usual Bitcoin transaction.
