Until the sever is open sourced, it is impossible for anyone to make changes.

Fixed for you.

Okay so you're a troll who registered recently and all your posts are anti-Ripple. I'm more than willing to engage in a discourse but you're not adding anything to the conversation. I hate to do this but I will have to put you on ignore. If/when you are ready for a real dialogue and not mere trolling please send me a PM with a rational argument and I will un-ignore you.

He may be a new user and a troll, but that doesn't change the facts. In fact I believe he is much to lenient:

Until the server is open sourced, we must assume it is insecure and unsafe to use. Malicious evil or plain incompetence, security
by obscurity never works. Further we must assume some evil guys will find security holes eventually even without the source. Honest researchers will ignore it. That alone is reason enough to advice people strongly not to use it.

I'd like to believe the devs started with good intent, but eventually time and money ran out and they had to rush a product to market too embarrassing to show to the world now, with investors breathing down their necks. This theory is backed by the at first barely functional client, which still shows wrong numbers at times, and has the most unreadable order book UI I've ever seen.
