Actually ripple was in smart contracts talk 2 years ago (you can probably still find articles with jed about it). What they did is made it user friends for any developer to use on ripple.

Yeah, I said now is probably 150.

Those are your words not mine, most of rippled servers are run by developers  and ripple supporters. Although business and banks run them too.

And your logic is really funny, so if 100 nodes run nxt that doesnt mean that network has more then 1 center but they are still centers? lol (now compare that to over 1000 of ripple and tell me which is more centralized).

EDIT: wouldnt you be happy if amazon started to accept nxt and run a wallet or would you call it central control situation? (I would be happy if amazon started to accept any crypto, so that you know my stand).

You can buy it at many places, bitstamp, kraken, justcoin, ripplechina, ripplejapan, ripplesingapur, snapswap, rippleisrael, therock trading etc, maybe this link helps you: http://www.ripplecharts.com/#/

But I dont know how good it is for speculations, I use ripple only to transfer fiat from exchange to exchange to do arbitrage on bitcoin. When bitinstant got closed most of us traders got cut out since we had to start paying extremely big fees for bank wires out from 1 exchange and into another. I hope ripple gets adopted by more exchanges because it solves that issue and is around 1000 times cheaper then bitinstant was.

Edit: not to mention speed, when i sent 10,000 USD from bitstamp anywhere I get it in 2 seconds while with bank wire I had to wait 3 days to arrive to me and then 3 days to arrive at exchange.

Its mostly run by businesses, banks, gateways, and eco system developers because with rippled server you do a lot more then only with client.

Isnt that funny question to come from nxt supporter when next community was the one calling people to run wallets so network doesnt cripple? since noone wanted to run them as they get like 0,1% a year.

I am not fighter, I just dont like to see something called innovative when its actually a shitclone. And I hope all crypto currencies go up, if people lose on alts they will not have money to buy bitcoin which currently sets the trends of crypto in world.

Everyone can run Ripple server, same as everyone can run nxt wallet. So Ripple is truly decentralized p2p network. And you do not have to run ripple client to run server too. its your choice.

Ripple is still in beta, only small portion has been issued. Nxt is mostly held by its founder and his alts. You can find good blog post on Szalasz blog where its explained how they released only about 25% of currency to people. Ripple as term cannot be copyrighted, ripple effect etc, its generic term.

Every Rippled server is validator

Lets see, Rippled servers are run on over 1000 different entities around the world. Nxt is run on 100 nodes (or maybe 150 by now). Which one is more centralized?

Actually asset issuance was first made by Ripple (its Ripples native function). But in Ripple is fully decentralized, if you issue an asset in Ripple you can choose in which currency to trade it (or make your own currency to trade it), in which order books to be and which fees to use for trading (or no fees at all). It was made almost 2 years ago.

Native functions of Ripple: Instant transactions, asset issuance, gateways, currency issuance etc etc...sounds familiar with Nxt development? ---> we want to create instant transactions, asset issuance, we want to create gateways, we want to create monetary system (fancy name for currency issuance)....if there was no data storage coins (from which next copied digital goods store) you can pretty much say that only thing they do is try to copy Ripple with fancy names included and extremely bad programming (in ripple asset trading is instant, gateways are decentralizzed and not run by devs even you can be your own gateway etc etc).

Now Ripple introduced Smart Contracts https://ripple.com/blog/smart-oracles-building-business-logic-with-smart-contracts/ wait till Nxt copies that and gives it some fancy name like "von Clevernous of Contractorous" lol

EDIT: oh and I forgot aliases...also copy from ripple

I hoped devphp would be my partner. But its ok, I am already over it. And maybe he changes his mind so we can together contribute for nexter innovation to finally start.

Sorry to inform you but my partner bailed out so the project is currently on hold

Shit, for moment I really felt important, I was like chief instigator of next innovation, or atoninext if you will

Anyway, despite your rejection I really like you and wish you all best with your investments! Good luck!

Hey Devphp! I thought I had an epiphany and that I finally found something innovative in NXT that is not shitcloned from other coins, but later I figured its false alarm. None the less, it brought me to brilliant idea and I finally know what atoni888Buy asset will do, so I am asking you to be my partner!

In my dream I thought that NXT distribution was actually innovative! I will create all coins then spread them to my 5 alts and start selling on exchange (I guess we all know who is BCNext simply by looking who responded to his messages first). But then when I woke up I figured, shit, he copied that too from Ripple (he must have really been in love with ripple since he ripped off almost all his ideas from them). So that lead me to disappointment, although by your logic how everyone builds some of his own, you can argue that involvement of 5 alts was his innovation (as ripple chose transparency in distribution), but I will disregard it since anonymity is big thing in crypto so its not really innovative to use alts.

But.....that lead me to brilliant idea!

Atoni888Buy asset will be used to promote innovation in NXT! We will collect 100 BTC on Asset Exchange and make 100 BTC bounty (that is 62k USD, quite nice bounty) to person that makes something in NXT that is not shitcloned from other coins!

What do you say?

I will be something like BCNext in this, I gave my name and cloned the idea of bounty, but it will actually produce something really good for Nexter community! I am sure they will all chip in to remove that stigma of nxt copying every other shit coin, and to finally have at least I from Innovation!

To show how serious I am, I will send 1000 nexter to you so that I am not involved in any financing (since people wouldnt trust me), and you will create the asset. That will be my donation to the project (beside name and idea, well idea is copied from general bounty idea but who cares).

Are you in?

I see, so www.nxt.org is not trustable site. interesting.

And I educated my self about Ripple, and I found out that everyone can run rippled server to reach consensus. There is already over 1000 people around the world running it so its pretty decentralized.

Well, you said that he copied pos, decentralized exchange, colored coins, aliases, gateways.....so what is left? lol

I see, so nxt is just bunch of kids setting up web sites with lies on them?

Which web site should I trust about nxt then? Can you show me even 1 which doesnt have tons of lies on it?

Finally sane person who agrees that everything in NXT is copy. So where is that innovation then?

I guess only butthurts here are people that bought nxt at 9 cents to see their investment go south and now have to spread lies about "originality" and "innovation" around forum. Well, I wish them luck with their bags.

EDIT: I thought that www.nxt.org is official web page. Sorry if its just some nxt pumpers idea. its innovative like nxt to spread lies around, rofl

I didnt say he copied algo but idea.

Ripple is fully decentralized currency.

Then premine is just semantics, he copied the idea of generating all coins at once from ripple.

I told you already I am not butthurt, I am laughing, am just annoyed to all the lies nxt people spread around.

They should start by changing their web page which still says nxt is fastest crypto and that there is no fees on asset exchange (but I guess lies are nxt business model).

So will you be investor in atoni888Buy asset? It will be honest 100%, same as everything on nxt lol

Will someone finally tell me 1 thing that came from nxt which is original? (except digital goods store, which will be bullsh.t as we all know it)
