There’s a query on reddit that could do with a reply… [https://www.reddit.com/r/counterparty\_xcp/comments/2ptm04/i\_am\_so\_lost\_with\_couterparty\_please\_help/](https://www.reddit.com/r/counterparty_xcp/comments/2ptm04/i_am_so_lost_with_couterparty_please_help/) I was going to suggest the support FAQs… links to which could be made more obvious. but also I was going to suggest just trying to set up an asset on the testnet, to help gain confidence with that. [https://testnet.counterwallet.io/](https://testnet.counterwallet.io/) gives 404 … though that is linked to from the support at bottom of [http://support.counterparty.io/support/solutions/articles/5000003696-what-do-i-need-to-start-using-counterwallet-](http://support.counterparty.io/support/solutions/articles/5000003696-what-do-i-need-to-start-using-counterwallet-) ---

It’s working fine right now, I just logged in and created a wallet. There was an update on it some 10 hrs ago I think.  Maybe they came across it right around that time. IMO no scheduled downtime should happen without notifications.
