Ok.So running xcp on top of an altcoin is possible. But is it possible to run xcp on an own blockchain and if so is that an option / planned?

And would the GUI client allow an easy installation?

I don't mean to sound flippant but the answer to both of those questions is obvious. Of course XCP could run on it's own blockchain if it can run any blockchain. Just fork the Bitcoin code to create Countercoin and you're halfway there. Of course a GUI frontend will come with an "easy installation" if you just have some patience. It is a natural progression.

Edit: Are you talking about this instance of Counterparty or a new instance of it?

I should have been more explicit. I was thinking about counterparty with proof of stake on an own chain (or nxt or ppc). ... and whether there are any plans in that respect. My assumption is that fees for making bets could be lower with a POS system and therefore counterparty could be more competitive. Also transaction times could be much lower than 10 minutes which is a big plus for making bets...
