Ripple doesn't really offer anything anymore. When SuperNet comes online NODE will be the payment processor and it's a generation ahead of Ripple (NODE is integrating BTC, USD, EUR, CNY and maybe HRV).

In Ripple I can send EUR and have USD come out on the other end without me doing anything other than hitting a button. That's the realy beauty of Ripple. It let's you pay in any currency and finds a path to autmatically exchange it into whatever the receiver is accepting.
Afaik NODE will "only" have multiple currencies in one wallet which you can deposit via an exchange. Could be wrong though.

Ya man, it's "magic" the way you pay random, high exchange fees just by "hitting a button" on Ripple...
And Ripple is a currency exchange network... NXT is Crypto Assets.

OT has never reached critical mass... it doesn't matter if a bunch of devs use it.

NXT, against all odds, is the one that's reached critical mass and exponential growth...
It's because they hit the "complexity sweet spot"... useful, but not too complex...
So there are almost 300 Assets on NXT AE and growing almost 1%/day...
Meaning there should be 4000-5000 assets traded in one year.

The killer is these Crypto Assets have broken through to Polo and BTER...
You can move them outside the NXT ecosystem... fucking brilliant...
(If you wanna buy a basket of 27 top NXT assets just buy JLH on Polo).

Show me meaningful network stats for Ripple or GTFO.

well since you asked so friendly and eloquently...

nuffsaid.

Oh, I'm amazed Ripple Charts is up. Look out... it will crash soon.

Well, so after 3 years and 18 months live...
Ripple is doing $250,000/day in currency vs the $10,000,000,000/day Forex market...
(And then there's another $500,000 in "transaction volume").

This is with > 50 employees and probably $20,000,000 invested...
Hardly a success story for something centralized in Silicon Valley.

This is a massive money loser... except for the founders who got all that XRP...
So the XRP transferred a few million from BTC owners to the Ripple founders.

Not helping the African migrant workers much, is it.

After 2-3 months the NXT AE looks like it's doing about $100,000/day in Crypto Assets...
But that is growing fast... and doesn't count IPOs... nor NXT Assets traded on Polo and BTER.

And the civilized NXT community is what sets it apart...
You don't hear much from them because they are busy building + rolling out features on schedule.

I spent about 2 months on Ripple last year...
And, to me, NXT is everything Ripple was not... like night and day.
