I posted earlier about my troubles in counterwallet.co buying XCP and then an asset using BTC (I never ended up with any XCP or the asset), but I read an article today about
Swarm so I decided to try investing my counterwallet.co BTC balance in that instead because it sounded a lot easier. I just followed the instructions on the main page of swarmcorp.com, which said "Send BTC from your counterwallet to the SWARM address" (I could have instead sent XCP to a different address if I had any XCP). I left my wallet open (it was unclear if I could close it or not for this to work) and 2 hours later I came back to my computer and now have 2 SWARMPRE in my counterwallet.co wallet. It could not have been any easier. I am not sure how Swarm was able to do that, but all the Countercoin assets should be setup that way.

Thanks for the feedback Eric. For your information, you don't need to leave Counterwallet open to receive SWARMPRE.
Question for you and other people who are interested in investing in XCP. If the same process was available to you, would you take that option? The price would be advertised on a web page, like a BTC ticker. However, purchasing through such a means may incur slightly worse rate (say 5%) for the convenience and ease of transaction. There are other options to purchase XCP: DEx, centralised exchanges and between users but this would be just another option available to people.
