Thanks a bunch for taking the time and effort to regularly point out all the things that pose a problem/need rethinking with the Counterparty project! I enjoy reading your criticism where helpful because it shows the other side people dont like to talk/think about in this forum. Its important to see the problems and discuss them in order to find a mindful solution. I agree with a lot of what you say and can only encourage regulars in this thread to think more critical about this project because they wont go away by themselves (and no the devs dont always have the best answers up their sleeves either!)

P.S.: Thx to the devs and contributors, you are doing a great job but of course things can always be improved, like encouraging public discussion/education more amongst stakeholders. Maybe some educated member of this community could fulfil this duty (as Stakeholder Relations Officer), interacting with you guys and the community at large to intermediate between both sides of the table. Because the need is there to and you are all busy programming and we have a host of ideas and questions to ask all the time yoiu cannot take care of all day, so communication is suboptimal and valuable information gets lost in tramsmission (trust me, Im studying this kind of stuff;).

Cheers
