Ripple / XRP

Adoption by banks and payments networks is underway---driven by an immediately relevant use case. Ripple has potential to replace the slow, archaic, and expensive correspondent banking system---leveling the playing field for everyone.

Network transactions clear within 5 seconds, inclusive of distributed exchange functionality and cross-currency payments. Any currency may be represented and transacted on the network, providing enormous value beyond XRP (yet, while also being supportive of the value of XRP, due to its utility in also facilitating non-XRP transactions).

Ripple is increasingly cited by industry foundations and publications, from the W3C through NACHA.

30+ engineers are employed by Ripple Labs to support the technical success of the network/protocol, core tech, integrations, and related projects (such as Codius). Business experts are driving adoption. Regulatory experts are helping to clear a path.

Chris Larsen, at the helm of Ripple Labs, has the experience, track record, and passion necessary to make it happen. Everything is consistent with the long term vision he has expressed---prior to even beginning at Ripple Labs. It would be easy to write him off as an idealistic daydreamer or even a naive earnest hippy, if not for his prior success helping catalyze and advocate for community driven financial reform.

Can you not see the survey results??? 13 votes. 2%...

I would hazard a guess that the Ripple Labs folks are busy working on the important stuff that matters (i.e. not wasting their time signing up to bitcointalk.org, voting on a survey, clearing their cookies, signing up again, etc.) The work done by Ripple Labs speaks for itself - they don't need shills and/or increasingly desperate Xcoin developers trying to promote their flawed coins.

I cursed out loud when I read "Still sticking with Bitcoin & Litecoin only". I mean what kind of an idiot would put all their eggs in a dying and a dead basket and then exclude (for no apparent reason) all other cryptocurrency developments?
