A bug was introduced into Counterparty last year (in [v9.61.1](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/issues/1294)) which broke the Counterblock service that Counterwallet depends on. This bug was fixed in [Counterparty Core v10.0.0](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/releases/tag/v10.0.0), however—as is often the case—when old software goes down, sometimes it doesn’t come back up. The community has since spent its energy on the creation of a new generation of wallets rather than attempt to revive Counterblock and Counterwallet. However, [the code is all open-source](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet) and anyone is free to work on it. +Counterwallet has unfortunately not been actively maintained in a number of years. + +The community has since spent its energy on the creation of a new generation of wallets such as [Counterwallet V2](https://derpherpenstein.github.io/CounterWalletV2/), [Horizon Wallet](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/horizon-wallet/bnmgkjlaommgappfckljlelgahnbngme) and [XCP Wallet](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xcp-wallet/nicpjdbehgcjbjfjkobcidnfmfpijohg) rather than attempt to revive Counterblock and Counterwallet. + +However, [the code is all open-source](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet) and anyone is free to work on it. ### What is the “origin” functionality that was recently lost?
