We are the founders of Counterparty, the free and open platform for peer-to-peer finance on Bitcoin. Our names are Robby Dermody, Evan Wagner and Adam Krellenstein. AMA!


About Counterparty:


Counterparty creates a free and open marketplace directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, effectively extending Bitcoin's functionality from a peer-to-peer payment network into a full-fledged peer-to-peer financial platform. The platform has been live since January, and it has seen over 100,000 transactions since then.


With Counterparty, you can:



  • Create your own token in less than 30 seconds, which can be used to represent anything (e.g. crowdsales, in-game tokens, voting tokens, and hopefully soon even bonafide securities such as stocks and bonds)

  • Send or trade your token with others, in a totally peer-to-peer fashion (i.e. with no centralized exchange required)

  • Issue dividends, as well as utilize binary options and contracts for difference (consult your local laws)

  • Write and run your own Ethereum-style smart contracts, directly on Bitcoin, to do virtually anything


Recent News:


Counterparty has been chosen by Overstock.com to be the platform on which it will build Medici , the world's first SEC-regulated stock market for cryptosecurities. Counterparty also recently announced that it has ported Ethereum's entire smart contracts platform, allowing users to write Turing Complete smart contracts into the Bitcoin blockchain and execute those contracts in a completely decentralized and trustless manner.


The Counterparty community has been rapidly growing, with media coverage by Wired, Wall St Journal, VentureBeat, Coindesk, Inside Bitcoins, and more. We are very proud to be a part of the thriving Bitcoin community!
