Obviously so.

Bitcoin1.0 established coins are always worth a look for long term - PPC; NMC; LTC.

Bitcoin2.0 protocol coins then for the big win.. capability to do trade is beyond anything currency coins can offer. So, ProtoShares PTS and the BTS that follow; NxtCoin NXT; Mastercoin MSC; Counterparty XCP.

It'll be interesting to see how intrusive those regulations become, whether they do stop at the point that is related to fiat or if they insist on also knowing or having sight of all crypto-crypto exchanges on any exchange handling their fiat.

ugh another Ripple shrill - can't fit in alt-currency sub forum so post here??
Does Ripple have a forum of its own?

Obvious scam is obvious. This just an unimaginative duplicate of the same nonsense that was [ANN]BitFund:Descendant of BitShares?

Expecting people to be interested in no added value?.. looking to scam the ignorant who have more money than sense. Again, we'll see p6 shill accounts from OP maintain they've put up money because it's an obvious win-win.. derp.

"Firms may immediately submit formal proposals and applications to operate virtual currency exchanges in order to help expedite the process of putting in place greater oversight for this industry," the public order said. NYDFS said it would propose regulatory guidance on virtual currencies "no later than the end of the second quarter."

I've had no issue with them. They stand as my second to vicurex and I also use BTC-e on occasion. That said, I wouldn't hold coins on any exchange.

They have been and are given away for free.  You must have missed their very first giveaway to members of this very forum.  They just aren't going to dump all the XRP to a handful of crypto-enthusiast because that does nothing to help fairly distribute the currency to the world and for Ripple, it's about masses not the miners.

Yes, your edit above caught me on the hop: "Less than 100XRP can sustain over 50 transaction per day, for the next 100 years.  So, you don't need much.   Wink" which is news to me.

I've wasted enough time on looking into Ripple to do more just yet, unless it's made very obvious. I'll return later then to consider it again.

You will have a better understanding of Ripple, Ripple Labs, and XRP after watching this interview with Ripple Labs CEO Chris Larsen. Ripple Labs is direct about the technology and future plans.

I've watched too many Ripple videos on the back of promise that they'll give "a better understanding of Ripple".. doesn't happen.

XRP are currently in the $0.015 range. If you can't afford that, you don't need a handout, you need a job.   Grin

I've got BTC to spend but no reason to do so.. I'm thinking XRP are not meant to have value and that the intention is they should be given away for free. I don't want to burn good BTC or any other coin for XRP while the use of them is so unclear. If they are being given away, then I'm happy to consider them and trial what they can do but that's a different model of distribution than finding suckers to buy them.

If XRP are meant to hold value, ...

Of course they are meant to hold value. XRP is currently second to Bitcoin in market cap apparently at around $1.5 billion: http://coinmarketcap.com/

Surely you're just falling into that simple illusion they've setup?

If I create 99,999,996,303 of my own coin and sell only 10 of them for $10 each, do I have a market cap of $999,999,963,030? I know economics is absurd at times but surely that's just a bad joke.

I see value in community members informing the broader Bitcoin community of organized attempts to mislead it, whether it be the history of Ripple detractors or MtGox.

I am not defending the communication quality of Ripple Labs.

but you are trying to defend Ripple and partial in presenting that. There's value in a balanced; rounded; and not partial, presentation of problems.

I agree, in general, about the weak launch. Again, I consider market liquidity, services, and developer adoption more significant than XRP value. Basically, Ripple Labs emerged from stealth mode too early---and exposed Ripple to an attack campaign that they were not ready to handle. Ripple Labs is starting to gear up to improve communication, but it will take time.

Again, you're trying to make excuses.


My impression is that whatever Ripple might be, is not related to cryptocurrency as currency. Significantly then, it seem that XRP are not meant to ever be valuable in and of themselves. If all Ripple'n'Co. did was make that clear, it would avoid the naive user spending money on those XRP. Leaving people open to make mistakes whether by neglect or deliberate ambiguity, is essentially exploitation and should not be encouraged.

If XRP are meant to hold value, then what we know of the spread of them looks very suspect; if XRP are not meant to hold any value and they are to be given away to oil the machines of whoever wants to host a server, then that has not been made clear. Either way, Ripple support sucks at communicating what is intended, relative to other Bitcoin2.0 protocols who are doing that better and more openly. Consequently, all I've seen of Ripple, is pushing people away - people who by rights should be the most enthusiastic of all.

An attack campaign has given the community an inaccurate and distorted view of Ripple. A shift in perception is beginning, as new users become attracted to cryptocurrencies..

Blaming other people, is a lazy interpretation of a failure to communicate whatever Ripple's real value is.

I'm quite neutral but Ripple seems like a damp squid coupled with a bad launch of XRP that's near infinite in number and the few that have found value then suggest a market cap of $ 1,451,152,125 <- really?.. I don't see it and I'm trying to see it, what does that suggest for how poor their product and/or ability to communicate that. Perhaps I am missing real useability development and it'll suddenly be in our faces as the obvious contender but perhaps it just needs a relaunch.

Perhaps that shop isn't a permanent feature!.. http://aztecobitcoin.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/an-amazing-week-at-azteco/ "The PopuP outlet at Goulston Street will not be there forever!"! No obvious detail on the twitter but he's got +1 (714) 947-3425 (voicemail); so perhaps check before heading out.

Do a backup from the wallet File:Backup wallet or similar, to an encrypted USB.

Setup the wallet on the new computer and let it run, that'll create a new empty wallet. Stop that wallet and the look then to replace that new wallet with the old wallet.
If Linux, look for the ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat and move that to the new computer same location. Restart the wallet and it should be everything you expect; only then, delete the wallet.dat from the old computer.. and I would dd zero complete the old computer to ensure that old wallet isn't recoverable.
