[Mastercoin](www.mastercoin.org) is a new protocol layer being built on top of bitcoin

The Mastercoin protocol layer mediates between the existing bitcoin protocol and users-generated currencies. It is intended to be a base upon which anyone can build their own currency.

The software implementing MasterCoins will contain simple tools which will allow anyone to design and release their own currency, with their own rules, without doing any software development.

    Some question to Craig

    1.On December 01,Craig said on bitcointalk : "The Decentralized Exchange phase II is in testing currently on testnet will release before the end of the year. We have contracted with a well-known crypto firm to redesign Omniwallet UI from the ground up,and we're in final review of this interface .It should be implemented along with the DEx phase II release before the end of the year." (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878363.60)

    2.On December 03,Craig said on skype : "We are aiming to have the official(the windows version of Master core) release out before 12/31, And the testnet version will be released for anyone to use."

    Now it's the beginning of 2015,Where is Decentralized Exchange phase II? Where is Omniwallet UI? Where is the DEx phase II? Where is Craig? Has he resigned?

    I created a wallet with the Blockchain app on my iphone and I sent all my mastercoins to it. How can I send all my mastercoin and maidsafe coin to another wallet? I can't find the key to the wallet to import into Omniwallet.

    Statistics on user / account count?

    Does anyone have an idea as to how many users / accounts are on the Mastercoin network (accounts that have mastercoins or other non-BTC assets)? Are there any statistics on some website about the user count that can be referenced?

    Timeline for Factom migration?

    I understand that Mastercoin is moving to Factom as base chain. Is there a set timeline for the move? What's the progress here. I think the move is extremely positive and looking for information.

    Mastercoin Newsletter Monday November 17th, 2014

    Might have missed: New Name

    ANN: Factom

    ANN: Hope Gold Coin

    News: Omni Wallet

    News: CoinProz

    Featuring: LA’ZOOZ

    Mastercoin is working on a new model and new names.

    [quote author=David Johnston]...I believe that an even further step is required. An entirely new entity. One that reflects the international nature of many of the projects building on top of the protocol. Along with this new entity comes the opportunity to move beyond the initial branding of Mastercoin / Master Protocol to a new brand that reflects the broad and inclusive goals of the new community driven Foundation. I propose that this new Foundation adopt the Omni brand. A new Omni Foundation.

    Already users are associating with the Omni Wallet as there primary interface to all of their digital tokens. Lets extend that to an Omni Core, Omni Protocol, so on and so forth. Of course the ownership of the tokens (previously called MSC) will remain the same, and the objective of building great open source software on top of the existing protocol will continue...

    CounterParty cf Mastercoin?

    tldr: What's the difference, from a technical perspective?

    I like both Mastercoin and CounterParty.. have done for a while. That largely stems from a simple thought that I think there is really added value being tied to the strong network that Bitcoin enjoys.

    I have to say then I am then pleasantly surprised with what CounterParty is achieving of late, ambitions with Overstock and they just announced they Counterparty Recreates Ethereum’s Smart Contract Platform on Bitcoin

    Broad technical question follows then that I was inclined to ask anyway.

    Is it possible for Mastercoin to achieve whatever CounterParty does and visa versa, or is there some technical limitation relative to the implementation that each takes, that provides different context and opportunities? My naive sense is that there is no difference, which only helps the perception that Mastercoin has a lot of potential and perhaps there is mileage in noting that.

    some questions——to DJohnston

    DJohnston,I have some questions agin.hope you can take some time to answer them.thank you!

    1.I saw the Omniwallet Milestone v0.21,it appears you guys have do nothing in the past two weeks.except some little code change,which can be finished in two hours maybe. The efficiency is too low,what do you think of that?

    2.Are the developers of MSC still full-time job?can you publish their work progress every week,just like the past?

    3.The communication between developers and supporters is less and less now. more and more supporters are leave now. What do you think of that?

    4.The price of mastercoin is horrible.many people lost confidence.the price dropped from 0.2BTC to 0.0065BTC,many people don’t trust MSC foundation.What do you think of that?

    5.In the Omniwallet Milestone v0.21 you guys said the “code duplication”,why don’t you make a unified develop rule at the beginning?does this means your bad management ?

    6.How many BTC left?and how many investment you have got from now on?how did you use them ?can you make a detailed instruction of that?

    7.The road map will be changed or not after the omni foundation found?

    8.Compared to XCP,NXT,etc. what’s your advantage?

    9.When can the windows version of master core (omni core)release?can it be released in November?we have wait for more than half years.

    10.Please take measures to boost the confidence of market .many people's assets have fell to the thirtieth of their principal.it is too sad.
