Where are the XRP fountains?
I'm willing to sell you small amounts of XRP at market rates for BTC if you need some to start (up to about 200, which is about 0.01 BTC currently), other than that you can buy them at Kraken, Bitstamp and some slightly more shady places. Also there are some people just giving them away if you promise to buy a few more and give these away to other newbies in return (I don't know how successful this stuff really is in the end, that's why I usually just sell them). Sure are. I was just going to suggest that since Ripple is open source, we should create a Ripple with BTC (or NMC) as the native currency (instead of XRP), and thus resolve the issue that the initial creators controlled 100% of the XRP.
So you admit it's actually a very good system? Huh? "Admit" that it's actually a very good system? I don't know if it's a very good system or not. It seems to have some good ideas in it. But I'd consider the fact that the creators gave 80% of the XRP to some for-profit company (and presumably kept the other 20% to themselves?) to be a fatal flaw even if the rest of the system is sound. I don't like the currency much either, unlike bitcoins though XRP are just a small part of the system and can be mostly ignored if you don't explicitly want to use them to make markets. 200 ripple is 0.01? They give away thousands! |

I have decided DogeCoin is the future.
What do you say that for? Whats the reason? Mainly because I've been able to mine them easily, there is a demand, and I have made several trades last few days for DOGE to BTC at excellent exchange rates. doges.org As far as I see the price isnt going anywhere. That's funny, because on day 5 of this coin's existence an exchange has already picked it up (coinedup.com). This exchange only trades in 10 cryptos at most, and just added LTC/DOGE today (day 6) in addition to the previous BTC/DOGE. The price spiked from .1 BTC / 1M DOGE to .19 BTC / 1M DOGE just 6 hours ago...and trades on doges.org and irc have gone for even more than that last 24 hours. Rumor has it another DOGE exchange coming within 2-3 days. Hmmm. You are talking in millions, but ok. I dont trust it but some think otherwise. |

Nice faucet! If you have any other projects you would like to sell for Bitcoin, check out BitOrca We also have a competition going for best bitcoin tool  Your site is a marketplace for scripts? They are pretty expensive. Way too expensive for anyone to want to buy. Not enough sales on existing items to make anyone want to submit. Hope it works out though, but for the meantime I'll stick to codecanyon/themeforest. What I do is if I like a theme, I just remove the frame and save the page...  Then I realize that it doesnt look how I want it to and remake it my self. |

Any status update on the faucet raise?

If it was 1 mil per coin, people will be buying 0.0001 or something like that, and early investors will be selling 2 btc (combined, at any given moment). The price will surely go down.
This doesn't make any sense. Lets say im an early invest with 100 btc. BTC reaches one million. I sell all of my btc. The price will crash because of the fact that people wont be able to buy at 1 mil. 1) You could say that at any $/BTC value. 2) Why would you sell it all at once and cause the price to crash? You wouldn't just put in the equivalent of a market order to sell everything at any price the moment someone else makes a trade at 1 BTC=$1 million. You'd put in the equivalent of a limit order. "Sell as much as possible, up to 100 BTC, at $1 million/BTC or above." If people aren't able to buy at $1 million/BTC (*), then the price would stay below $1 million/BTC, but it wouldn't crash. Again, what you're saying makes no sense. Let's say you're an early investor in gold and have 10 tonnes of gold. The price of gold goes up to $10 million/tonne. You sell all of your gold. The price will crash because of the fact that people won't be able to buy a 10 mil? (*) There are 7 billion people in the world. If 100,000 of them each bought 1 mBTC for $1,000, then that 100 BTC gets sold at $1 million/BTC. The only question is how much people are going to value BTC in the future. And we can only really speculate on that. One person wouldnt sell 100 btc, but a lot of early investors could start selling totaling 100 btc at that time. Pretty much anything's possible. If the large investors get spooked and want out no matter what, the price will tend to go down dramatically. If they're not spooked, and just would like to get out at a certain price point, the price will tend to hover slightly below that price point. At a million dollars, they wouldnt be spooked, but excited! |

Sure are. I was just going to suggest that since Ripple is open source, we should create a Ripple with BTC (or NMC) as the native currency (instead of XRP), and thus resolve the issue that the initial creators controlled 100% of the XRP.
So you admit it's actually a very good system? Yes, there is nothing wrong with Ripple.com. Its a fully featured system, but XPM itself is just another alt-coin. |
|
|
|
So the full source code of ripple.com is available? If so, great! I will try to copy and rename it and host it myself.
What would you accomplish with this? I don't think they make any money on Ripple.com, other than as a way of promoting the Ripple network, which they will hope will eventually lead to substantial appreciation of XRP. Running a gateway (which means holding fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies other than XRP for safekeeping) or acting as a market maker is how you make money with Ripple, and you don't need Ripple.com for it. For fun. Also it would be if I could mess with it and port it to BTC. Then I have my own little online wallet running! |

That would be an online wallet. As I said before, Ripple isnt fully open source.
You've said it before, and you're wrong. Ripple is now fully open source. So you are saying that in a few minutes, I can clone Ripple (XRP + Site) EXACTLY how it is? Just for you (it was already posted in this thread): To build your own working Ripple network, you need at least 1 rippled server, code at: https://github.com/ripple/rippledThat's it already, but I guess you want some infrastructure with it? Then you likely want to have a client instead of writing your own, you can use the one at: https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client (written in JavaScript) or you can write your own either using the API or one of these 2 libraries: https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib-java (Java) https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib (JavaScript) If you want to store the encrypted blobs for your customers (so they can switch computers and still access their wallets in a secure way) you can set up this server too: https://github.com/ripple/ripple-blobvaultAfterwards you might want to publish your trades to bitcoincharts.com? There's some code for that! https://github.com/ripple/ripple-chartBitcoincharts is operated by MtGox and closed source though... you'd rather have your own charting website, fully Open source, right? https://github.com/ripple/ripplechartsOh, by the way I operate my own rippled server already for quite some time now, after you know how to compile it (...it is a single command) and where to find the binary then it's smooth sailing from there. So this is the code of Ripple.com: https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client |

Whats funny is that Ripple inst (fully) open source. They are like twitter, claiming to be open source because a tiny part of their script is online.
Your right, Ripple is affraid their brand is not recognized enough to allow publish full open source, and they are right Sure are. I was just going to suggest that since Ripple is open source, we should create a Ripple with BTC (or NMC) as the native currency (instead of XRP), and thus resolve the issue that the initial creators controlled 100% of the XRP. Still, if the underlying idea isn't patented, isn't this something we could do? That would be an online wallet. As I said before, Ripple isnt fully open source. I'm not sure what you mean by the online wallet thing. If I understand Ripple correctly, it'd be more like a decentralized network of online wallets/exchanges which all federated with one another to allow very quick transaction confirmations. As far as Ripple not being fully open source, yeah, I even quoted you saying that! I am talking about Ripple.com not XPM |

EDIT: Of course this is essential to the business because if they release the FULL source code and steps to reproduce it, people could start their own site and probably overtake Ripple. Unlike this bitcoin is fully open.
Ripple isn't a site, it's a network. The Ripple.com website is just a convenience, and just like blockchain.info, you don't need it to use Ripple. In addition, and unlike blockchain.info, your wallet isn't actually hosted there. People can already start their own sites if they want to. So the full source code of ripple.com is available? If so, great! I will try to copy and rename it and host it myself. |

So you are saying that in a few minutes, I can clone Ripple (XRP + Site) EXACTLY how it is?
I haven't done it myself, but I understand it's a couple of hours work if you've never done it before. Probably minutes to an hour if you've done it before, and less if you have it scripted, but I don't thing many people do. Note that I'm not saying that Ripple Labs doesn't have closed source code, but that's just like Bitstamp or Mt Gox or blockchain.info having closed source too. The essentials like client and server and lots of supporting stuff as well are open source. Yes, but they still are running things that we dont know of, just like Twitter. EDIT: Of course this is essential to the business because if they release the FULL source code and steps to reproduce it, people could start their own site and probably overtake Ripple. Unlike this bitcoin is fully open. |

I'm sorry, you need to share story or tips about btc first Ok.... My tips: Don't waste your time with free btc-sites. There you can earn maybe 2 cent per hour. It is better to find some work and earn the minimum wage. Invest the money of your work in btc and become rich, in a few years if btc goes to 1 milion $. It wont. The price will stay at around 1k - 10k. Nobody is going to be buying btc if its 1 mil, only selling, thus the price will go down. Haha, how do you know that for sure?? I am not sure it will go to at least 1 milion. But I expect it... Long way to go that 1 million If bitcoin were a million, people would be selling wayyyyy faster than buying, which would mean the price would go down until it reach equilibrium. |

Wow this is really great! It would be really useful if someone could port it to Ruby on Rails!

Every other alt coin daemon similars to that of bitcoind. However, how to handle multi coins in one vps/server. Do we have to install all daemons? Are there any developed solution available?
Further, is there any common gateway/api that links all daemons?
More info needed.
Hope some good guys help us.
I agree that this would be really cool and with all the alt coins developing I think there is a real need for a multi-coin wallet. I'm not sure if it's even feasible though because I know the client for each coin does so much. Would it just suck up too many comp. resources to be running multiple coins at once? There is already a mult-coin wallet: https://mywl.lt/. It is easy to handle multiple daemons, if they run off of different ports, and there arent really apis for it, you will have to link manually which is actually pretty easy. If I was you, I wouldnt do this because if there is a security breach, you can pretty much go to jail... |

You do know applied math is physics right? just like electrical engineering is applied physics
Yes, and thats great but his point is on algebra. Your point is physics. |

That's very creative of you OP! One of a kind idea BITCOINS FOR HOMEWORK aye You should also mention your hourly rates to get more attention IMO. Not as creative as you think. Almost a complete rip off of mine https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=356743Check it out. Your physics, he is math. Clam down. Haha, I was just correcting someone, but since you chimed in without reading I will be kind enough and correct you too since you didn't read either his initial post (he states physics in his post) or my thread carefully enough I state math in my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=356743.msg3826163#msg3826163But don't worry, this happens with users who try to post as many comments as possible for advertising purposes without taking the time to read what is going on  Like I said, main point of your post is physics. Main point of his post is math. |

Thanks for your vote. only 2 votes in the Poll so I guess people don't need Technical indicators added to the widget. It's mostly used by the stocks traders I guess. We just crossed the 2.000 downloads  Thank you everyone for trying out this little new widget! I still dont understand what you are talking about. |

Also now that its "open source" are you able to mine it?
Being Open Source has nothing to do with mining, but if you want to use your computer to crunch numbers and get XRP, you can do that. Go to www.ComputingForGood.org and get started. One big difference is that when you trade computation for XRP, you aren't just generating heat like with Bitcoin mining. Instead, you are crunching results for scientific research (mostly AIDS and research). I know that open source has nothing to do wit mining, I just forgot a ".". Do they have a GUI or is it just a pool sort of thing? |
