Ok well Open Source was officially announced, and XRP shot up even more...up to around .0114 right now.
They also updated the client software and it is not working right for me...couldn't even login and can't get my money out very easily...Ripple bridge seems to be working but can't send to Bitstamp.
I've just had it so I went ahead and sold...most of mine between 85 and 90 on USD/XRP book. I think it could go higher from here but I'm out for now. I just can't deal with the ripple client not letting me trade when I need to and locking up my funds with new bugs.
This still may be a good trading vehicle up to the conference on Oct 5. The Zip Zap news could easily send it higher. I just don't have the patience right now so I took my 90% profits in about 10 days and went home.
Congrats to all those who saw the thread early on and took a smart calculated risk to buy some.
Huge mistake bro but you gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for a good thread. Best of luck to you my friend.

Yes it was a mistake...the price action this morning shows it. But I don't like not being able to even log into the client to buy/sell and not being able to get my money out.
It's all good man. I haven't had any issues with the client since the new update last night. I've obviously seen some isolated complaints but mines working fine. Either case, 90% is still huge in what, a week or less?
Yeah if I can screw up and make $1K profit in a week, then I'm not going to cry too many tears. It's still bad to leave money on the table but i'll take screwups like that anytime. 90% is huge in a week for sure.
And I still have $2K in there that I can't get out through Bitstamp and I don't really appreciate that. I've been fighting with the ripple client for months...sure I made a lot of $ with it but it also cost me hundreds of $s or more with all the bugs.
