Counterwallet is the next step in development on the usability side of the project. People that do not want to use a web wallet, should not use Counterwallet. They should continue to wait until a viable alternative which meets their needs is developed and released.
I did not say that Counterparty should move off Bitcoin in the future.
Running on Bitcoin is not strangling the adoption of Counterparty and my view is that both Bitcoin and Counterparty will be better together than they are apart.
see:
I would suggest that moving Counterparty off of Bitcoin would be premature and that we should continue working with the devs to reach a solution that works for everyone, and that may very well be possible as technologies and opinions continue to evolve.
Premature, as in; there would be a mature time to do it.Read the rest of the text you quoted.
Will there be a time to possibly consider moving off Bitcoin? Maybe, I have no idea. That time is not now, though, and it would be premature to start having those discussions in my opinion. I hope that clears up my point of view a bit.
