...it's the "cult-like" followers who dismiss logic and reason, that is a real turn off.
Great observation. What is ironic is that so-called "libertarians" get angry because a for-profit company wants to make money in the space. Seems they have more of a Marxist bent than anything else.
Even better observation. Quote
I've been to the Ripple meetup and met the developers, saw the work that they are doing and Ripple is anything but a scam. Those who poo-poo Ripple, claim it doesn't work, and make disparaging comments without even bothering to do any real research, will be in for quite a shock soon :-)
Would love to have been there. Wonder if they have anything coming to Miami.

Ripple will provide immediate benefits to Bitcoin. For example, the Kraken exchange (http://kraken.com) will make it tremendously easier to buy and sell Bitcoins, and Kraken accounts are also Ripple enabled. We need things like this because MtGox has a strangle-hold on providing exchange services.
+! on the heads up. I'll be looking it that. Says public beta...may have to give it a test drive. Not hard for me to try anything other than Gox. That's an easy sell.
