i'm feeling rather generous today in giving out knowledge.

so here's a clue of what kind of interface will be required for "asset issuance" to take off

i recommend anyone interested in this part of the business peruse the user experience on this site linked beloow both from the project lead, project evangelist and the to be project follower perspectives.

https://www.kickstarter.com/

some stats...
https://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats?ref=help_nav

for the leader and evangelist
https://www.kickstarter.com/help/school

and then take note of what particular category the vast majority of top 50 projects fall into... guess what the synergies are between meta-coin and this particular category...

have a nice day everyone

Are you suggesting that assets for games will be the most popular in Counterparty?

On the other hand, a crowfunding system on top of Counterparty could replace kickstarter completely or reduce the fees to almost nothing. Not only that, but there would be no centralized entity to make arbitrary decisions to pull project listings.

This is a slippery slope because there would also be no arbitrator to prevent scams/fraud projects and protect users. I would argue a centralized for-profit entity in this regard would be beneficial to the community at large. It would be in this entities best interests to prevent fraud and scams or else it would lose future investment opportunities.
