To be honest, I really don't know much about it. I have a friend who works for the company and he's been trying to teach me some of this crypto currency stuff. From what I understand so far, the company is going to use EITHER counterparty or clearinghouse, though I am still trying to understand it all.

What I do know is that they have been entering the gambling space for some time now and most of their work is social gaming. He says they have already talked with counterparty, which is what led them to look at clearinghouse because they had some issues with the counterparty developers, and overall speed of the network for what they are trying to do is my understanding. He said gaming is part of it but that they would ultimately offer shares through one of these platforms much like overstock is trying to do.

It's all speculation right now, I don't know anything else at all just yet. He tells me it's been in the works well before overstock's announcement. I'm just trying to learn so I can potentially get in on it. That's why I was asking about how to buy viacoin and xch. I have only ever bought bitcoin so this is all new to me. However, like I said, I don't know if clearinghouse will even be part of it, that's what I'm trying to find out.
