It was never my impression that they were going to use CounterParty anyway.  Byrne probably wants his own platform.  Too much ego.  I had always been under the impression that he had bought the developers for CounterParty but wasn't going to actually use CounterParty.

Damn I'd be pissed if I was an XCP investor. Not only is medici not going on counterparty, they've also stolen their core devs!

Fill in the blanks. I think this will be recurring theme in 2015.

I'd be happy if I was a counterparty investor, because I wouldve sold when it was up 500%.   (And if they ever announced they were partnering with Bitshares and it went up 500% as a result, I'd also sell and then buy a pullback afterwards).

Bytemaster's blog on this is right on point. I learned a great deal more from reading it.

3rd time is the charm... just trying to say that Mr. Byrne will make at least one more semi-thought out twist/stem before getting to the right decision...

turtles all the way down up....

If true, then that kind of price-sensitive information should have already been disclosed to the market by the xcp guys if they had any integrity.

Were they still XCP guys once they started working for OS?

I htink its been revealed to the market by the fact that xcp is back down to where it was before this all happened.
