Adan Krellenstein, Counterparty co-founder and developer discusses OP_RETURN, proof of burn, other distribution methods, asset issuance, improvements to Bitcoin and the importance of the first mover advantage. Adam's great to talk to and in light of the increasingly important role that Counterparty is assuming in the user designated asset space, he's one of the guys on the pulse. Pity this interview is two months old. Still, an appropriately concise overview of the protocol that everyone is talking about.
