Sure are. I was just going to suggest that since Ripple is open source, we should create a Ripple with BTC (or NMC) as the native currency (instead of XRP), and thus resolve the issue that the initial creators controlled 100% of the XRP.
So you admit it's actually a very good system?
Yes, there is nothing wrong with Ripple.com. Its a fully featured system, but XPM itself is just another alt-coin.
