Bitcoin was not built to handle a stock exchange. It needs a new blockchain.  That sounds like a large undertaking, but I think is highly doable given Overstock’s backing.  It also requires a proper data format the various regulatory authorities will accept. I have most of the details worked out.  Contact me for more info. ---

You could just outline your plan here and open it to discussion and scrutiny by the community. ---

> A separate blockchain would be an unsustainable idea, and defeats the entire purpose of Counterparty. This is not entirely true if it is a well-secured sidechain. ---

Im still not sure how to interpret this. Does your project use Counterparty in any way? And Equality7, how would you secure this blockchain? ---
