There should be some news coming soon. I've got 100% confirmation that a major social gaming co is dropping it's counterparty partnership in favor of clearinghouse. This is huge because it's not just some new company, they are major and their products are household names. From what I have read and received, this company is no stranger to digital currency and was one of the first big names to accept bitcoin. I've already bought on the rumor and wanted to shed some light here based on sheer speculation of course. This should be huge for the community and will likely set the precedent for many others to follow. I don't want to say too much because I received the info from a close friend of mine. However, he didn't exactly tell me not to say anything 

This helps me understand why clearinghouse is actually better. Not trolling but true.

Soon, but not blackjack. Poker, and much sooner than you expect.

Sorry but this "theory" is just plain silly.

Viacoin and xch just became the first alt coins in my portfolio. BIG things coming you guys!! Get ready for it.

Darkcoin was one of the first alt coins I ever heard of aside from Dodge. This coin has some long term potential in my opinion. I really just starting looking into it more recently, and what I have noticed is that so many alt coins have promised anonymity and it seems in essence baseless. It is my understanding that Darkcoin remains one of the very few alt coins that may actually be able to hold good on it journey to real anonymity. I may just have to add this gem to my portfolio soon!

Awesome, thank you.

Where are the xcp developers? Do they frequent this forum?

I'm finally happy with my via position. ViaCoin, along with xch represent my first ever alt coin positions. And let me say this: those of you who have been buying/holding these coins are soon going to be very happy as ViaCoin is on the cusp of real world adoption.

Check your messages, that should provide all the proof you need.

I'm gathering more details as we speak.

There is a doge counterparty too, you've got to be kidding me. How many of these are there? xdp xcp xch? Dogeparty must be a joke.

Yes, this is what I'm learning. I will say for certain, I know that a big social gaming co might be the first to make this jump to clearinghouse. From what I'm told, they simply weren't happy with counterparty for whatever reason. Though they haven't ruled out counterparty, they seem to be more intrigued with clearinghouse. I have no idea when this will happen, but I'm told the first move will be merging a type of betting game on the platform as an experiment. I was also told that they are even exploring offering company shares through the platform as well. Meanwhile, I'm still just sitting here trying to figure it all out.

Ok, I think I understand. What I don't quite get yet is why would, say a gaming company, launch a gambling game on clearinghouse opposed to counterparty? I'm told because clearinghouse is much faster? Sorry if this is off topic.

But from what I understand, isn't clearinghouse compatible with, but not reliant on the bitcoin blockchain? Giving it flexibility and security? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a novice.

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.

Very helpful, thank you. Yes I found the main thread now I believe, still trying to figure this forum out.

Checking into it now, thanks! If anyone wants to chime in on my other questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I'm new here. I was trying to learn about clearinghouse and didn't realize it had it's own thread. Are there any companies who list their shares on here right now? Or even better, has any gaming entity made the shift yet? I'm hearing some things about one that is eyeing clearinghouse and didn't know if they had begun yet or not. I'm digging for more details as I type. Also, can I buy, from what I understand, clearinghouse currency? via? xch? If so how and where? (I already own bitcoin) Thanks!

That makes sense, thanks guys. This is all very new to me still.
