Hmm there are some questionable and very serious concerns about Raiblocks, especially regarding security.

Can you elaborate?

Technically XRB is even more secure than Bitcoin:
- Instead of relying on Miners that do this just for the money, they are getting more and more centralized and it is getting worst as better hardware comes out and it already happened that a mining pool attempted to mine blocks at their own advantages, even invalid blocks. Raiblocks rely on representatives which do it just because they have the hardware in place (they run a business or an exchange...) and people choose who they want are representatives. So RaiBlocks network is kept safe by trusted people.
- A bitcoin "pending transaction" means nothing because it may never be put in a block (which is very possible right now while the network is more than saturated). In RaiBlocks a pending transaction is almost a completed transaction: unless it is a double spent, it can only be valid.
- Bitcoin blocks can vary, there's no guaranty that a block be "the one accepted by the network", so you have to wait for multiple confirmation to be sure. In RaiBlocks, again, the only possible misleading information that require representatives to vote is a double spent.

Some can always bring, "I heard that you can send money to yourself" or "If you do this and this and run a node on an unsafe netowrk you are vulnerable to a man in the middle attack) ... Come on... Give it a chance RaiBlocks is in active development and those details will be quickly fixed. What matters is that the ledger and technology are very solid.
