Re: [ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread
What is stopping me from modifying the Counterparty installation on my system to provide all of the same functionality without burning XCP?
The network effect. It would be a one person party that's implementing updates from the real dev team.
So the Counterparty protocol checks to make sure XCP was burned when scanning for transactions?
