Counterparty Adds Ethereum Smart Contract Features
Update: This article has been edited slightly to clarify that Ethereum's entire programming language has been ported to Counterparty In a major development in the Bitcoin 2.0 race, Counterparty has added the open-sourced custom smart contract features of Ethereum by porting the programming language to the Counterparty platform. While smart contracts have always been possible on Counterparty, they lacked the flexibility and ease of customization found in the Ethereum project. That extra functionality, previously only found in Ethereum, was often attributed by observers of only being....

Counterparty is set to launch Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM) on a testnet in two weeks with Counterparty developer Ruben de Vries making solid progress toward the end result, which will eventually bring Ethereum’s smart contract to Bitcoin. In late 2014, Counterparty carried out a Proof-of-Concept EVM port; however, in comparison, this port is the newest version of the EVM software that is running on Ethereum today with the team of the opinion that it is mature enough for use on the Counterparty/Bitcoin mainnet. Additionally, it adds the ability for smart contracts to interact with....
Counterparty, the technology for decentralized financial tools on the Bitcoin blockchain, has started running Ethereum smart contracts by porting the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to its codebase. In late 2014, Counterparty added their support to execute the Ethereum smart contracts platform on Bitcoin; however, at that time, Ethereum was in its pre-alpha stage of development, with its first major release, Frontier, not yet being announced. Of course, with both Frontier, and later, the release of Homestead in late February, the developers at Counterparty have witnessed the EVM growing....
The Counterparty team wants to err on the side of caution when bringing the Ethereum smart contracts to the mainnet. There has been a lot of talk of bringing Ethereum smart contracts to the Counterparty mainnet in recent months. Not too long ago, it seemed like this project was set in stone, but some last-minute adjustments had to be made. Now that the latest EVM has been ported to the Counterparty, exciting things are on the horizon. Ethereum Smart Contracts On Counterparty Mainnet? That is the question everybody would like an answer to, and it appears as if the Counterparty team is....
Counterparty announced that its developers have successfully ported the Ethereum Project's programming language over to the Counterparty platform, enabling users to save and execute Turing Complete Ethereum code on the Bitcoin blockchain.

In November of 2014, Counterparty Contracts was launched, which let users write Turing Complete smart contracts into the Bitcoin blockchain, with the code being executed on every Counterparty node. This initiative - a port of the Ethereum Virtual machine code and modified to use the Bitcoin blockchain - was open sourced on GitHub and available for public testing on the Counterparty testnet for over a year. For quite some time now, developers and digital currency enthusiasts have been looking for a way to run smart contract technology on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. Although this service....
