I just sold 98% of my Nxt holdings this week because I see too many problems with it and Nxt community here at bitcointalk is full of knuckleheads who basically ran me off for asking technical questions. I don't know much about counterparty but I've heard it's pretty cool
and does more than Nxt. Can the community here help me get started?
Welcome to XCP community. If you want to setup counterpartyd client, you have couple of options. Check 'halfcab' s signature for setting up a command line based counterpartyd,
https://github.com/JahPowerBit/BoottleXCP_binaries/blob/master/windows_build_instructions.txt for GUI client
https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,166.0.html for lightweight client.
If you are a non-technical user like me, you can buy for poloniex.com/bter.com. Alternatively you can wait until tomorrow to use a web based counterwallet.
