Title: What's going on with the price of Ripples (XRP) today? Post by: phys- on August 23, 2013, 01:01:49 PM https://ripplecharts.com/market/XRP/USD:Bitstamp The value of the chart for today seems quite confusing. Does anyone know what's going on? Thank you.

I do not see any use for it in its current state. Title: Re: What's going on with the price of Ripples (XRP) today? Post by: ple on August 23, 2013, 04:36:42 PM Chart bug.

Post by: PirateButtercup on December 10, 2013, 09:32:00 AM The advantage of the Ripple system is that you can send any amount of money, to anyone, any where, at any time, in any currency, instantly for next to nothing. So, if I wanna send some money to my parents....or if I want to exchange money before I go on a trip....or if I want to loan a friend some dough....etc. Pretty much anything that you do with normal money....just instantly and without all those damn bank fees, transaction fees, etc.

Post by: OnkelPaul on December 10, 2013, 09:49:27 AM the problem is the gateways Of course, ripple without gateways is nothing. However, ripple + gateways provides value that gateways alone do not provide - you can move between different currencies handled by different gateways with very little overhead. Sending to arbitrary people is not possible as long as there is no way for them to receive money - but using the bridge mechanism you can send at least bitcoins (and probably some larger alt coins too, didn't check that) to arbitrary bitcoin addresses. Don't know when it will be possible to send EUR or USD into bank accounts directly, but they're probably already working on that. Onkel Paul |
