If anyone is paying attention outside this little community, they will see that counterparty is now a protocol layered over 3 coins (at least...) and growing. BTC, DOGE and now Vericoin are using CounterParty protocol for their --Party coins.
They are essentially giving it away to people who mine and they have a means by which they can have people burn their tokens to buy into it, thus getting a stake. However, Counterparty is severely limited in what it can do--limited by the constraints of the chains on which it resides.
Sparkle could be used for us to clone to hundreds of POW coins, and the original communities could have 80% stake while the rest is sharedropped equally on PTS/AGS/BTS/Sparkle holders. This could be a very good strategy to prepare other communities for a later switch to full DPOS. Try not to get caught up in the numbers sharedropped...
Let's just consider the simple fact that if we do not let our protocol spread far and wide, we are far less likely to see mass adoption that we want to see. Not only that...but I can assure you counterparty will continue spreading, which is fine...if you want to watch their devs getting rich from the sidelines. I for one am all for giving the technology to other communities and sincerely hope we see some forks coming out of this and honoring other coins. If people open their eyes and see the writing on the wall, it is worth receiving a smaller cut of many other chains with something like Sparkle Clones than to just do nothing. This is another tool in our toolbox and I hope we use it to full effect.
Does anyone know of a Dev we could pay with a 100% delegate to clone "Sparkles" to every POW chain out there?
