Highly focused to exchange those ripple for fiat as soon as possible. What a great cause!
If it does not allow anyone to create the coins in an equal manner than it is in effect pre-mined. I dont care how many ripple they gave you to come over here and try to pour perfume over a shit sandwich in order for all of us to eat it.

Im sure Ripple IS NOT a scam. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Make the dev's Rich beyond belief from the fools who will eat shit sandwiches.

Experience with bad exchanges, seeking a long term currency investment, and then finally reading code kept bringing me back to Ripple. I have previously invested in many alts---and have made decent money. I am hoping to encourage people to look at other decentralized exchange systems as well.

I assumed it was a scam at first, myself, and then read up on it more.

I am not paid by Ripple Labs.

Ah, so they don't pay you. Somehow, I'm not surprised by that. However, I'm confident you have invested in Ripple, which is the only reason you spent your time trying to prop up this 'investment'.

Tell me, when did you gain the ability to run a trust node?
If ripple decides to modify their code in a way that the majority disagrees with, how exactly do you think you're going to prevent the 'community' from being forced over?

Allow me to answer my own questions so we don't have to deal with your rambling attempts at deflecting from the real issues: The community does not control trusted nodes (servers, hosts, whatever you want to call them, it's the same damned concept) and you have no power to decide the direction of development.

That's called centralization.

The fact that you even pretend that the source they have released is of much significance is laughably ridiculous. By your own admission, you must have gotten involved with ripple before you ever even attempted to understand it and looking at the source was apparently the last thing you did.... Roll Eyes
