If BTS value comes primarily from our network effect then we should be incentivising basic coins that have a large userbase to migrate to our blockchain.
MKR and BANX have recently migrated to our blockchain as they benefit from not having to run their own blockchain plus many other features.
Storj have announced they intend to leave the counterparty coloured coin system (bitcoin blockchain)

I think other tokens that use counterparty would be a good target to start with. View their top 10 here: https://xcpassets.org/

Also Startcoin would be a prime candidate for migration due to the fact it is just a basic coin that transfers yet has users and publicity. (I have reached out to them already)

If any of you have contacts or know the creators of any top 100 Coinmarketcap coins it would be great if you could reach out to them and make the case for a native migration.

Theres a bunch of UIA coin names I have reserved for a future exchange that I will gladly handover to the corresponding coins should they wish to migrate natively to our blockchain.

Which other basic coins/ feeshare tokens can you think of that would benefit from migrating?





Thats a good start. Who will contact them? Right now everybody is talking about ETH in the Reddit.

It's not a bad idea but look at the https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/views/all/

17 of the top 20 blockchain based assets & communities are on XCP, NXT & MSC.

Yet  XCP + NXT + MSC = < BTS

Obviously it's not bad a bad thing to attract as many people as possible but thus far that strategy hasn't translated into increased network effect and value for the underlying blockchains that attract those coins and communities.

What exactly is Storj currently getting out of Counterparty? Just the ability to trade a token? If so we could certainly do so far better. Looks they're considering integrating with ETH though which I suppose will allow them to offer storage to smart contracts which could be useful.
