Oh, that one. I assumed it was a troll, too.
Now in retrospective, the
post history is pretty telling:
(4 months ago) Medici is evaluating all crypto technologies.
(4 months ago) Medici is still evaluating crypto technologies. We continue discussions with Counterparty, however, we do not plan to limit our platform to a single blockchain, ledger or protocol. The long-term future of crypto securities will undoubtedly include multiple exchanges. Medici will enable trading where ever efficient and qualified exchanges can be created.
(4 months ago) Security, performance, and throughput are some of the considerations when looking at cryptoexchanges. We remain interested in technologies (including the bitcoin blockchain) that might efficiently enable transparent and distributed securities settlement.
(2 months ago) Medici will support multiple cryptotechnologies....counterparty may eventually be one of them, but that is far from certain. Trading platforms have a very specific set of requirements and we will be using the best of the available protocols/technologies.
(2 months ago) The Medici platform is intended to support multiple blockchains/crypto-ledgers. We want to work with the solution which best fits the requirements specific to our use-cases.
It appears to be certain that Counterparty wasn't the only horse in the game, and it seems likely that OpenAssets isn't going to be the only technology used either.
