... они создали более чем 2.6 миллиона единиц своей собственной валюты, XCP. Она начислялась тем, кто «сжёг» свои собственные биткойны, сделав их непригодными для использования.
С "цветными" более или менее разобрались. Так ничего не понятно что значит "сжёг" свои биткоины сделав не пригодными?
Да, именно так (“burning”) -сожгли, утилизировали биткоин (послали на адрес, где он стал непригодным), взамен на новую крипту. Вот пояснения самой Counterparty:
To make possible many of its features, Counterparty required its own native currency. This currency, called XCP, was created by destroying (or “burning”) around 2,100 bitcoins in January 2014. This was done by members of the bitcointalk community sending them to an address where they could no longer be used. From this destruction of about $1.6 million dollars of bitcoin-denominated wealth at the time, 2.6 million XCP were created by the system and sent to those who burnt. This is the total population of XCP that will ever exist, and XCP can now be acquired on the open market. Read more about how this burn process led to one of the fairest-ever coin launches, as well as how XCP is used, and where XCP may be purchased.
