added to the files thanks Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: Lutzow on April 28, 2016, 08:26:40 AM But it seems these partnerships with other entities are not doing any good in the price of ripple. I'm still waiting though for the price to rise and be stable. Kudos.

Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: BitcoinNational on April 28, 2016, 08:55:25 AM i'm guessing these bankers do NOT hold ripple
they just use it to ping $, yuan, euros, jpy around at a fraction of what it was costing before and i'm pretty sure they get that it is 90% premined/whale/orginator controlled, so HODL'n is beyond dumb. Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: pimpjuice on April 28, 2016, 11:06:55 AM Then call me a dumb idiot ;D
If I saw this list for the first time I would probably be thinking, holy shit too.... and possibly start yelling premined, whale, controlled, dumb, idiot, scam. Don't be so uptight. Ripple has a specific plan that isn't going to kill your digital gold. "XRP’s Role on Ripple as a Bridge Currency Ripple enables banks to settle cross-border payments in real-time, with end-to-end transparency, and at lower costs. Banks choose to either provide liquidity for FX themselves or sourced from third-party market makers. As Ripple adoption grows, so do the number of currencies and counterparties. Liquidity providers need to maintain accounts with each counterparty for each currency – a capital- and time-intensive endeavor that spreads liquidity thin. Further, some transactions, such as exotic currency trades, will require multiple trading parties, who each layer costs to the transaction. Thin liquidity and many intermediary trading parties make competitive pricing challenging. Market makers can bridge any currencies directly through XRP in a trade. Similar to USD in today’s currency market, XRP allows market makers to concentrate their liquidity around fewer pairs, creating order book thickness and competitive FX rates, especially for exotic currency pairs. Unlike USD, trading through XRP does not require bank accounts, service fees, counterparty risk, or additional operational costs. By using XRP, liquidity providers can specialize in certain currency corridors, reduce operational costs, and ultimately, offer more competitive FX pricing." "Why Ripple Distributes XRP The creators of Ripple set out to build a more efficient distributed payment network. Bitcoin and alt-coin systems use mining to confirm transactions and create coins. Mining consumes large amounts of electrical energy, as miners compete with each other to generate coins. Ripple’s method of confirmation, called consensus, doesn’t need mining; therefore, it requires comparatively negligible computing power, confirmation time adapts to network latency, and transactions are immediately irreversible once confirmed. Because Ripple’s architecture does not require mining, the creators of Ripple had a choice: distribute XRP exclusively via mining or diversify the distribution methods. Distributing value is a powerful way to incentivize certain behaviors. Bitcoin’s mechanism, for example, led to an explosion of processing power devoted to bitcoin mining. Our goal in distributing XRP is to incentivize actions that build trust, utility and liquidity in the network. If we distribute XRP with these goals in mind, over time we expect to see an increase in demand for XRP that more than offsets the additional supply we inject into the market. Said another way, we will engage in distribution strategies that we expect will result in a stable or strengthening XRP exchange rate against other currencies." https://ripple.com/xrp-portal/ Coming soon: Catalyzing Competitive FX Markets: Ripple’s XRP Incentive for Market Makers This paper introduces Ripple’s XRP incentive program for market makers who use XRP to offer tighter FX spreads. So you know, I love Bitcoin but it will not be the only digital token and it won't be more than digital gold. The hype around bitcoin taking over as the world currency is bullshit made by speculators/investors trying to raise the potential market cap. Gold's 7 trillion dollar market cap should be good enough for bitcoin investors to take interest. Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: r0ach on April 28, 2016, 11:12:12 AM You can spam as much marketing jibberish as you want, but nobody cares about Ripple because it's not a decentralized currency and doesn't belong on this forum. It's the equivalent of spamming ads for Paypal.
Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: BitcoinNational on April 28, 2016, 03:07:12 PM agree spammy now ... info is fine ... but if your looking to get some luv for XRP ... then you're in the wrong place
PREMINE __ done __ over as volume picks up then XRP 'gatekeepers' will flood/float out more and more of their premine. there is absolutely no value proposition for an XRP 'investor'. the bankers are not invested in this, it is just a wire service with legal articles attached that allows them to work with it. XRP as a company just needs to maintain a capital range but the asset price per unit will go down down down XRP as a company will pay for staff by 'working the spread' but there is no reason to pump more into the balloon than there already is in fact they likely want as little hot air as possible to game the liquidity and this is all short term once the banking sector wets it's feet in digital then it is who ever has the highest/deepest volume (**cough** BTC) Title: Re: Ripple Cheat Sheet - Partners, Banks and Important Connections Post by: pimpjuice on April 28, 2016, 03:32:44 PM How am I any more spammy than you hyping BTC in "Altcoin Discussion"? I talk about bitcoin on this forum as well.
"We will engage in distribution strategies that we expect will result in a stable or strengthening XRP exchange rate against other currencies." I guess we will see how the financial industry reacts to a few Chinese mining companies controlling btc. Do you think they will trust btc to properly respond to problems and issues in a timely manner? Maybe a little control isn't a bad thing when it comes to the financial industry.
