Now we know it very clear that Symbiont "supports" counterparty but not "relies" on counterparty any more. Symbiont relies on the counterparty technology instead. If Symbiont succeeds, it does not mean the success of counterparty, but only means there's a successful company backs up counterparty.

What's the difference between relying on Counterparty and Counterparty technology? Counterparty technology = Counterparty...

Besides that, Counterparty also relies on Symbiont as Symbiont actively funds Counterparty development. Seems like a pretty symbiotic relationship.

I'm really not sure what you guys were expecting. If you wanted more than what's in the announcement you should have sold a long time ago.

"Counterparty is a core part of the Symbiont tech stack, with entirely complementary technology to the other systems we are developing."

"nothing has changed with respect to our enthusiasm for the potential of Counterparty, and permissioned ledgers will augment Symbionts platform offerings, not compete with the many market uses for Counterparty."

"We will continue to support the Counterparty ecosystem by providing development resources, funding Ivana Zuber in her position as Executive Director of the Counterparty Foundation and handling incoming business development inquiries. "

"However, as we onboard more clients and partners, and develop more products, we will not be able to discuss if, why or how that client product uses or does not use Counterparty. (Determining use of Counterparty should be clear to anyone via a Counterparty block explorer.)"

"That's not what the post said at all. The technology that Symbiont has developed outside of Counterparty does not overlap or compete with Counterparty at all. They're different things for different uses, one being private network/private blockchain/permissioned access, and the other (Counterparty) being public blockchain, public ledger, open access."

"To reiterate, Counterparty is still being actively supported and developed (by symbiont staff members, nonetheless). You can see that just by looking at the github."
