Seems we have a new "to da moon" coin, but I think this is something different  ;)

yeah pretty cool

Ripple been out for a while btw...

It was always under that link at the bottom of the page "Looking for Ripple?" or something like that.

True, Ripple isn't "new" at all, but I've never seen it on coinmarketcap.

Yes, from the bottom of the page to the top in no time.  ;D

Kinda makes you wonder what's going on here.

Strange things like that will continue to happen, as long as coinmarketcap doesn't add rules like:

• a coin must be completely open source
• a coin must be traded on atleast three different exchanges before it gets listed.

So we should believe that a ripple is worth 0.025 $ because one "obscure exchange" says so?
Yeah, click on the price and try to find out what exchange that is.

U can also get XRP`s (RIPPLE) at Bitstamp (at least u could before, have not checked it lately)
 and Justcoin

Cpoinmarketcap needs to make it's required to be list on a higher standard. Maybe at least be on two reputable exchanges and open source code would be a plus.

if you create wallet on ripple.com network you can transfer BTC IOUs in there (means you have to extend trust to BTC issuer, such as some exchange address or your BTC wallet address) and then trade BTC against XRP within ripple system, quite active market.

also see ripplecharts.com

its more than a coin, its kind of alternative financial system project for enabling instant secure transfers and forex trades, as well as allowing for credit instruments to finance international trade etc. look for ripple threads to learn more.

3 scam coins top five?


Next....ripple and?

OK, i removed this site from my bookmarks.

http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/ looks better.

You are misinformed.


It has been near the top of market caps for a while now. However, it was only listed on a sub-page. A link to that page was at the bottom---not its ranked market cap value. It has performed well for a while now.


Not really. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=381016.0


Open source: https://github.com/ripple (https://github.com/ripple)

Multiple exchanges: https://ripplecharts.com/markets (https://ripplecharts.com/markets)


Good thing that isn't the case.

I always raise an eyebrow when something isn't open source from the start.

So what made the corporation behind ripple finally go open source with ripple?

Keep living in the past with your copy/ paste coins. Most people are looking forward to the future in crypto coins where actual innovation and effort is taking place.

Ripple is here to stay and has been here for over a year.

Like I said in another thread, these are the two categories for Ripple haters.


1. Fear (Usually old Bitcoiners with lots to lose. Scared of the disruptive nature of the powerful Ripple network - which actually looks to compliment Bitcoin with INSTANT transactions). 

2. Laymen (Usually new-ish members. Believe the fearing established members and have no idea what Ripple actually is. These people will likely say Ripple is centralized (untrue), closed source (untrue) or a premine (this isn't BTC! again, you have missed the point).

3. Illiterate

Sadly there is only one "category" who put people in categories.

You put your money in Ripple, good for you. If it's so innovative, you shouldn't have to be so nervous and fractious.

XRP or ripples are traded independently on Ripple against dozens of different currencies by different issuers, sold on bitstamp, traded on kraken and sold or traded by several gateways like peercover who even take credit cards. All source code to run a client was open since the beginning a year ago, server code is available since September. The ledger itself is also open, so you can verify what's on there independently too.

BTW. was mcxnow a rippable exchange for you?  ::)

Well said. But I don't think the early adopters have much to lose. There is plenty of time to diversify and Ripple will certainly help adoption of Bitcoin in the short term. In the long term the effect is unclear. On the one hand, while Bitcoin profits from the Ripple trading functionalities, XRP profits from them as well, so that could be seen as a threat. But as BTC increases in value, it will become easier for early adopters to fund similar systems based on Bitcoin. At one extreme, someone could create a Ripple fork with an initial ledger based on the Bitcoin blockchain, either by copying the UTXO set at some fixed point in time, or by using proof of burn. In the end I think successful cryptocurrencies will adopt useful features from competitors and offer painless transition paths.

4. Schoolkids.

I'm actually well diversified over 4-5 different currencies. I just can't stand people who don't bother to educate themselves and just spew crap.

Lol.
