Title: What is a ripple? Post by: Thekool1s on August 03, 2014, 08:10:23 AM Can any body tell me what does this mean in the world of BTC?
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Puberty on August 03, 2014, 08:26:59 AM From Wikipedia.org:
Quote from: Wikipedia Ripple is a payment system, currency exchange and remittance network by Ripple Labs. It is built upon a distributed, open source internet protocol, consensus ledger and native currency called ripples (XRP). The Ripple network purports to enable "secure, instant and nearly free global financial transactions of any size with no chargebacks". It supports any fiat currency (dollars, yen, etc.), cryptocurrency (bitcoin, litecoin, etc.), commodity or other unit of value (frequent flier miles, mobile minutes, etc.). Quote from: CrossCoin Ventures Ripple is the most successful Crypto 2.0 protocol. Ripple is an open source, peer-to-peer payments system with 3 – 5 second transaction clear times. Ripple lets you transfer any asset across the network, with automatic currency conversion and fast settlement, while featuring the irreversibility, distributed robustness, and negligible fees that come with cryptocurrency technology. Link: http://www.crosscoinventures.com/what-is-ripple/ (http://www.crosscoinventures.com/what-is-ripple/) I don't know too much about it, but I think it has something called "gateways" that make it work like a decentralized exchange. It lets you transfer and convert a variety of currencies using the gateways and XRP is the currency used internally within the Ripple ecosystem to facilitate this. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Krang on August 03, 2014, 08:39:08 AM It's also a scam apparently. Have a look over on the alt coin section or google about it.
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Puberty on August 03, 2014, 10:05:19 AM It's also a scam apparently. Have a look over on the alt coin section or google about it. You mean Ripplescam.org? Didn't TradeFortress own that website or something? I think it is not completely decentralized, but distributed. And it is backed by a for-profit company. Or perhaps I am thinking of something else? ??? Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: obocaman on August 03, 2014, 11:18:14 AM it was a coin by Google or something like that
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Puberty on August 03, 2014, 12:26:16 PM it was a coin by Google or something like that Huh? A coin by Google? Are you sure about this? It would be amazing if a company as big as Google decided to launch their own coin. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: JohnFromWIT on August 03, 2014, 12:36:23 PM The idea was you could send dollars to me and I would recieve them in Euro
Or whatever currency we wanted, ripples/xbt would be used to pay for the transaction by being destroyed. Same as always people made money off it from speculation. Haven't heard anything else since, dunno if it's still even being developed Or if they've just given up on it. Google had nothing to do with it. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Sukrim on August 03, 2014, 03:49:12 PM it was a coin by Google or something like that The developers are funded by Google Ventures amongst others.Haven't heard anything else since, dunno if it's still even being developed https://github.com/rippleTitle: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Essex343 on August 04, 2014, 07:18:44 AM Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: lordb on August 04, 2014, 09:25:12 AM Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D How to get some Stellars. Do Stellars has value. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: bitsmichel on August 04, 2014, 09:54:46 AM Its some kind of payment network.There have been some threads about it on this board. There has been a lot of noise about it, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29) It's also some altcoin called Ripple or XRP. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174854.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174854.0) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Ab-Soul on August 04, 2014, 10:01:22 AM Ripple is a scam. Don't waste your time. ;)
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Rocket Launcher on August 04, 2014, 10:11:02 AM thats if in CC activity . sounds like activity to scam. but in bitcoin like manipulation in market .
thats normal in crypto . just beware and protect Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: oceans on August 04, 2014, 11:52:19 AM Wouldn't bother with ripple to be honest, it's a scam and not worth the time. There are some threads about it around the forums but I would not say that they all contain praise for this.
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Kprawn on August 04, 2014, 12:07:27 PM Stellar is just a improvement on ripple it seems. :( But the fact that it marketed by linking facebook {Identity} to it, makes me itchi in the wrong places.
Will you link your bank account to your facebook account? Nope not for me sorry. ;) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: ensurance982 on August 04, 2014, 04:55:50 PM Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D How to get some Stellars. Do Stellars has value. Really? Those Stellars everyone is talking about are forked Ripples? Holy cow... The thing is: Altcoins really don't get my attention anymore. I just stay with BTC I guess. It's the safest bet because it's the one with the biggest traction and active development. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Habeler876 on August 04, 2014, 05:15:35 PM Forget Ripple.

They will get your attention again then. ;) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Brewins on August 04, 2014, 05:21:15 PM Ripple is just another dying altcoin
And also some kind of distributed banking system/exchange So better know what you talking about before talk Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: silvestar on August 04, 2014, 07:53:07 PM Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D IIRC, Jed is in fact the actual founder of mtgox and later sold it to Mark Karpeles. Interestingly, mtgox is now dead and ripple is slowly dying. :) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Habeler876 on August 06, 2014, 06:13:02 AM Forget Ripple.

Interestingly, mtgox is now dead and ripple is slowly dying. :) I believe Jed retained a share of ownership in Gox, actually. Supposedly did not have a hand in management. But he has a shady history alright. And Ripple was just carried out horribly. I guess he wants to give it another go with Stellar. Can't lie, the UI is fantastic. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: DeboraMeeks on August 06, 2014, 09:58:23 AM It's also a scam apparently. Have a look over on the alt coin section or google about it. Its not a 'scam' just frowned upon because it is centralised Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: keyscore44 on August 06, 2014, 10:39:20 AM Ripple is a centralized turd of a currency, avoid like the plague.
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: bitrex on August 06, 2014, 09:00:03 PM Will be stellar like ripple?
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: BitCoinDream on August 06, 2014, 09:11:54 PM Can any body tell me what does this mean in the world of BTC? Ripple is an old system. Get introduced to Stellar. It is the same thing from the same founder in early stage. Grab Stellar, earn money :) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Brewins on August 06, 2014, 09:12:50 PM Will be stellar like ripple? Stellar is a fork of ripple, made by the creator of ripple. So I think they will likely be more or less the same. Maybe with a bigger pump-dump, but still the same Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Peter882 on August 07, 2014, 02:39:23 PM Forget Ripple. Jed already dumped his pre-mine, and now he has forked Ripple into Stellar. Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D Didn't know Stellar is so closely related to Ripple. May be I should buy some Stellar before the pump starts lol. :P Title: Re: What is a ripple?

Go on and get your Stellars then. ;D Didn't know Stellar is so closely related to Ripple. May be I should buy some Stellar before the pump starts lol. :P It's all pretty shady, to be honest. Jed (of Mt Gox fame) selling all his XRP premine and then forking Ripple into Stellar? People are just desperate for a pump and dump. And I'm sure they'll get it too. Title: Re: What is a ripple?

Post by: PeanutCoins on August 08, 2014, 11:04:16 PM yeah is another pump and dump scheme, sucks people have abused the technolgy for personel greed
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: pandacoin on August 08, 2014, 11:46:00 PM As you can see we don't like ripple here. We love decentralization, come to us with different projects.
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: btcguys on August 09, 2014, 03:02:09 AM I have used ripples and I was amazed by speed. Takes less than 5 seconds to send and receive all types of transactions. However getting ripple can get expensive.
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: JohnFromWIT on August 09, 2014, 04:08:18 PM Where can you get stellar without sharing facebook account?
Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: InwardContour on August 09, 2014, 04:53:02 PM Where can you get stellar without sharing facebook account? You can get stellars by confirming your email address, but the biggest part of STR can be earned only through facebook authentication. With this method is amost impossible to cheat. Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: Febo on August 09, 2014, 06:43:08 PM Ripple is a scam, run away fast if you can.
I might become a poet one day. ;D Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: jgarcia on August 09, 2014, 07:16:19 PM Forget Ripple.

People are just desperate for a pump and dump. And I'm sure they'll get it too. Stick with what you're good at? Ripple (and the Stellar fork are centralized and pre-mined). Investing in them is like throwing you btc in a whole in the ground. Title: Re: What is a ripple?

Buy buy buy!!! :D (I kid.....) Title: Re: What is a ripple? Post by: gondel on August 11, 2014, 11:52:40 AM Think of the ripple as afather of Stellar. I think this s enough as infornation :)
