I wonder how that will affect VTC..
Why would that affect VTC?
I guess market similarities? Was wondering the same. I guess if Litecoin was developing some kind of relationship with Google it would effect the entire market. Not enough details though, could of just been educational. Maybe Coblee will give more details.
Support LTC
Firm hold
There should be good returns

I am now a hodler!
Any ideas what Coblee was discussing regarding Litecoin at Google Singapore?

Re: Ripple Adds 10 New Financial Firms to 'Blockchain Network'
Your link is about distribution. Doesn't have anything to do with what i just said. BTC has 21mil token limit and in curent circulation there's 16mil.
There's 37billion XRP in circulation and 62 more billions XRP held by ripple. That's twice more than the amount in circulation. Ofcourse they benefit from a higher price. And that's my point. They are the only ones who benefit from it. Investors are there for their milking machine.

BTC distribution will never be matched because it was before the get rich quick mentality kicked in. BUT let's face it, the real goal of a decentralized asset to be utilized isn't in the initial distribution but how it confirms transactions. Mining was freakin awesome until Chinese mining pools started dominating the network, now we have smart contracts/escrow that can control a distribution in a similar manner without the politics/power consumption. Rather than Chinese mining farms confirming transactions Ripple uses validators ran by Microsoft, MIT, CGI, possibly Amazon, etc to accomplish the same thing. While mining btc becomes more centralized, Ripple is actually becoming more decentralized with every validator added. As far as distribution is concerned, Ripple is working on using something like escrow to lock up xrp and distribute in more transparent manner. I wouldn't worry too much about total supply vs available supply this early in the game. Ripple is actually deflationary in a way because xrp is destroyed with transaction fees, I would be more worried about inflation with some of these coins more than current available supply. When it comes to utilization Ripple is definitely one of the very best with validators, tx/sec, governance. When it comes to initial distribution, bitcoin is pretty damn hard to match considering it defined the value of this market so is impossible to do the same thing again with the knowledge we have now.
That is great but I would never think of taking any investment advice from you
Waiting.... for you to ask Roger?
Waiting.... for you to ask Roger?
I caught you lying.. see the bold part in 90 font.
Don't be a fucking retard..
You made claims and i laughed at them and proved you wrong with pictures.
Look at the dates closely smart ass bullshit spewing Ripple shill.
It is in fact 100% impossible it was him that bought them.. the timing does not match.
Nor does that prove us wrong when we said what the fucking topic title says.
You are all over the place creating little diversionary games in an attempt to defend this scam.
There was no warning.. they unleashed 333 million coins on the market (created out of thin air)
REGARDLESS OF WHO THE FUCK BOUGHT THEM.........
And why seems rather god damn obvious now don't it.. market cap rankings
..oh yeah and dumping for BTC profits $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
buy moar cheap coinz dumb fucks nom nom nom
Love you too. How the fuck does the date have to do with me being a retard? Maybe you say so much nonsense I am missing it. I wish we were face to face when we had these conversations. The insults bother me but since I am not a talker I leave it at that.
I was and never talk shit until you turn it into that. You are the ultimate troll, congrats. You deserve your ass kicked if you act this way in real life.
Spoetnik, their fine, I believe, had
To do with a Roger Ver purchase you bitcoin fan you

I should hope Roger has better things to do with his money than invest in scam coins for profit.
And are you telling me that the Ripple guys privately sold 333 million coins to a well known older user in crypto that would have been great advertising headlines to hype up the coin.. yet they silently did this with no fan fare ?
..clearly a pump opportunity wasted.
Yup.. i do in fact call BULLSHIT.
They silently tacked on 333 million and i have a hunch why.
Look at the CoinmarketCap rankings
They leaped over LTC in those two pictures compared.
Coincidence ? i think not.
Roger Ver ? I dunno.. want me to go ask him ?
I know someone who knows the guy well enough to get a hold of him.
Should i get Roger over here on this topic to have a chat with you ? Or do you want to back track ? LOL
I'm no bullshitter
lol Roger Ver paid 250k for xrp. http://www.coindesk.com/fincen-fines-ripple-labs-700000-bank-secrecy-act/ I call bullshitter though. Being a huge btc fan I would love to talk to Roger. Can you arrange?
oddly enough though as a whole thats what the crypto community itself is continually doing 
Exactly, the crypto community, but Ripple's main audience at the moment would prefer Ripple's distribution method over Bitcoins mining operations that is currently controlled by China.
Does anyone actually use Ripple? It's been around for so long, but there doesn't seem to be any community around it, not an eco-system of people using it.
There is a crypto community, small but very intelligent group of people. Most are from different background than the typical crypto enthusiast and seem to be in a higher age bracket. Ripple's current audience at the moment seems to be more centered around the financial industry and market makers involved in producing cross boarder transactions.
I liked some of the things that I read about Ripple, but every time I look at the available number of coins, it causes me concern.
Right now there are over 36 BILLION coins in circulation.
I just don't like that distribution model, personally. Its a minor thing since most Bitcoin transactions are measured in Satoshis these days.
But I prefer smaller numbers of overall coins minted.

I agree that the total supply is intimidating but as you pointed out it really doesn't matter when it comes to utilization, only speculation.
Was there a press release before they sold their bags in the market? How did they release the 333 million XRP? Did they sell it in Poloniex or some other exchange? Did they sell it over the counter to a whole sale buyer? Those details should be known by the community.
Maybe they did it to raise their market cap because Monero is gaining on them. What are they going to do next release more in the market to raise it to a billion? Because that is where Monero is going.

I also believe it is bull crap that they just randomly distribute coins. I believe it is a big reason why investors are afraid to trade it. They do not sell on Poloniex, I have personally asked but I assume it is on a Ripple Gateway. I agree we should know, there some be a scheduled, set amount form of distribution. Also, Ripple doesn't care if Monero takes over their coin market cap, only us
Why do people like a coin that can just randomly put 333 million coins into circulation, raising the market cap substantially?
Crazy

They don't. It's just a ponzi scam to cash in on rising BTC price.
Ripple is definitely not a ponzi. They have 10s of millions of dollars in funding to the point that they don't even need to rely on xrp. They only pay employees in xrp that want to be paid in it. From a speculative crypto investor point of view it may seem like a ponzi since it is isn't mined but it is the best as a utility for cross boarder payments serving as a no counterparty risk asset that is faster than and as reliable as any other crypto out there. If there were more volume I would use it as a vehicle to transfer my btc from account to account. I could go btc to xrp to xrp to btc in seconds compared to an hour going btc to btc.
Can Ripple labs just create Extra Ripples whit push on a button?
No there is a limited supply with no inflation. Actually, transfers fees are destroyed so the total supply actually decreases. -----------
HOW ABOUT BITCOIN!!!!!!! To the moon!

Agree, Ripple needs a scheduled distribution plan before big time investors will participate. Awesome technology, ridiculous team, tons of big news, but... how do you predict when 300 million xrp will get dumped on the market? At least there is a science in telling distribution with mining. All Ripple needs to do is come up with a damn distribution schedule.
Doesn't this also give more confidence to investors with the team not owning majority share?
That was my impression. Reduced coin supply is great for investors but, more importantly, I think investors were scared to invest in a coin that the majority was held by Expanse team. So if I am understanding right this is great news from multiple standpoints.

"Expanse was created with a community DAO fund to pay for development and expenses of the project for many years. The amount of 10 million was chosen to provide a long-term solution."
"I propose we switch from a reserve system to a monthly revenue stream using a percentage of the dPoS Validators and remove the 10 million EXP fund entirely."
"Psychologically, people price Expanse and include the 10 million in their calculations, they even calculate the EXP that won't be used for many years. I also believe this would be very likely to increase the price as there would be vastly less overall EXP existing."
"but also greatly reducing the total supply to less than 5 million total EXP."
Current:
Available Supply=4,833,889 EXP
Total Supply=15,002,939
Market Cap=$924,713
Current Price per= .19 cents
Seems like there is huge potential in big gains with current limited supply and minimal market cap and the chance for the elimination of the Expanse team owning majority share as well as the total supply being reduced by 2/3.
I am not overly invested in EXP (have a very small amount) or do I know a ton about it other than what I have recently read and wonder what others opinions are on EXP as an investment. Should I put real money into it?
Could we see a 10x - 50x increase at some point in the future?

Regarding the name Darknet.
Obviously you can't go with DarkCoin
Why can't you go with DarkValue or Darkened. Is there a reason for Darknet? From a search engine perspective, don't you lose marketing when it gets confused with the actual darknet? I assume this decreases organic traffic substantially. Trying "googling" darknet and you get nothing about the coin. I really know nothing about Darknet but what just wondering if there was a reason why. Really interested in investing but seems undervalued and I think it is more the marketing than the tech.

Like Darkcoin to DASH, the name can be changed later I guess.
But in saying that, if you Google "dash", it's not great either.
Still, I do agree that such non-unique name will hurt it later.
Haha, yea DASH was a stupid naming decision. All I think of is that hot slut with the fat ass. You make a good point they could change it later. It seems good to leave coin in the name (btc, ltc, etc.) so maybe discreetcoin for something similar.
