Try using an alternate [counterwallet.io](http://counterwallet.io) server, or try using [freewallet.io](http://freewallet.io) desktop wallet, or any of the other counterparty wallets at [counterparty.io/wallets](http://counterparty.io/wallets)

Your coins are stored on the bitcoin blockchain… the wallet is just an interface to view and move those coins… the coins are not actually stored in counterwallet, so you can take your 12-word passphrase from counterwallet and plug it into [freewallet.io](http://freewallet.io) desktop wallet and access the exact same addressees as in [counterwallet.io](http://counterwallet.io) 🙂
