I wouldn't dare judge anyone until they do something that proves them to be greedy and untrustworthy. For now all I can say is we have millionaires on our side lets just hope it's to our advantage.

i can do it for only 2 btc

for 1kbtc i can launch a nuke at ripple HQ
Ripple's hard limit: g64 XRP.
XRPs are mined by measuring IOUs in BTC and then getting bitcoiners to buy them until a hard limit is approached and the reward for bitcoiners approaches derp.

edit:  As far as socialism & communism bringing about awful living conditions:  What are you basing this on?  

Isn't it quite obvious: just about every socialist country there has been trough out history. The Soviet Union, east European countries, DDR, Cuba, Mao's China... And of course the lovely North Korea for a nice current example. Let me ask you the opposite: where has socialism or communism ever worked to create a country that is better off than capitalist countries?
Can we talk about Scandanavia?

I live in Norway which is a mixed economy. Please tell.

NO U?Huh

I think you should elaborate a bit more.

Please tell. Wanted to hear about scandinavian economies.
Sup with the whole importing trash thing?
People buying trash intrigues me.

Zhang Yin, according to Forbes the richest woman in China in 2006 & currently worth US$4.6 billion, "...buys scrap paper from the United States, imports it into China, and mainly turns it into cardboard for use in boxes to export Chinese goods. The company is China's biggest paper maker." --WikiP Grin





Amazing.
Are you aware of examples of using trash in interesting ways within your region?

'Cancer research' on the whole may not be a scam, but mostly it sure seems to be.

This caught my eye. Can you elaborate?
Folks donate without knowing where their money goes. Even If the money gets to the lab it can, and is easily, be misspent, be used to bring the facility into compliance with nutso govt regulations, or is used entirely for more donation soliciting ads.
One can hope this is the exception to the rule. Inevitibly, it happens, though.

Personally, I'm sitting tight and waiting to see what Gox comes back with regarding the CoinLab and Dwolla situations.  Absent a reasonable solution there, I probably won't be trading much on Gox anymore.  I suspect many others have the same wait-and-see attitude.

Also waiting for Kraken Smiley

Monopoly... Never, ever good especially when state sponsored... like capitalism has to be in order to not be ripped to shreds by the raging masses it both stupefies and exploits.
We are in a somewhat postcapitalist world already, avoiding its influence and deathknolls is nearly impossible.
For me, capitalism is how private wealthy groups justify selling affluent twats plastic crap.
Capitalism is the only way a person can accumulate and withhold resources from the commons and get away with it.
Amoral and spoiled consumers with no sense of value and equity quite blindly prop up capitalistic interests, resulting in a surrounding worldwide disaster.
Capitalism is not realistic, its infinite goal of wealth requires that millions of people lose.
I'm not advocating for a state monopoly to maintain our standard of living.
I'm advocating as a replacement for capitalism a polyphonus structure of guilds, unmotivated by profit, freely organized, based in science to advance all of humanity out of wage slavery.

How high up should the free standard of living be? Water as long as nestle doesn't copyright it... Food? I personally think so.
Utilities? Internet access? Medical care? You don't need state communism to make those free, just open sourcing.


These are NOT free things. Someone has to produce them. So if we reduce (for simplicitys sake) the community to just you and me, you seem to expect that I should just provide you all those services free of cost.

Here's the thing really: being alive means working and nobody, let me repeat, nobody owns You anything. You are responsible for your own well-being. Not me, not your neighbor, not anyone else but You.

Don't like working? Fine by me, but don't expect me to give you the fruits of my work. Hate being an employee? Don't be one. You have the choice.
We are all trying to get a utopia, sooner or later, are we not? Stateless capitalism seems quite more fictional to me than does some Anarchistic economics.
The cost of food and water by means of scavanging and a community effort easily reaches zero. Tesla might say that electricity can be free too. Internet? Hey you got me.
The field of medicine however is polluted by fees and junk. Payment should be based on the patients ability, satisfaction and not being deadness. Living is dificult enough without profiteers breathing down your neck.

FWIW, NaKaMOTO gives 666.

Code:
var str = "NaKaMOTO", sum = 0; for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) sum += str.charCodeAt(i);
666

Ripple had a seat on the 'alternate crypto-currency roundtable at the 2013 conference.  I didn't see anyone holding a gun to their heads.

"Ripple" is a system for managing and tracking account balance. It contains "XRP", which is a built in crypto-currency. It's not quite accurate to say that "Ripple is an alt coin" because it is more than that. However, it might be correct to say that "XRP is an alt coin."

But calling Ripple an alt-coin is to ignore all of its other functionality, which in my opinion is a mistake.

XRP threads go in Alt Currencies. Ripple threads go in Service Discussion. Easy. Now you know where to move your two threads. Thanks.

Well besides the fact that all modern democracies are constitutionally mandated to protect minority rights your point is without much substance

LOL. I am the minority that does not want to be forced to pay taxes and wants to be left alone. Tell me how this is protected by a constitution (an object class paper with toner and ink on it).

+1  Western democracies absolutely do not protect minorities.  The only way you can be protected is through the mathematics of prime numbers.

Bravo.

You folks are so full of fail, your such radical libertarians you'd be more accurately called anarchists and the BTC foundation shows exactly why anarchists always fail.  When you attack ALL authority as illegitimate you inevitably get a dictatorship of the wealthy elites who end up being worse then democracy because they have no pretense of representing anyone but themselves.  In the BTC-verse that means Mt.Gox for the time being but gradually it will be people like those Winkli-twin douches and then the very same 'Bankers' you claim to hate. 

You anarchist morons ARE THEIR BEST FRIENDS as your handing them BTC on a silver platter.  Real merchants can see that you offer them nothing, so they fall into the arms of any half-decent cartel that offers to create an environment in which the merchant can do business.  The OP should look at himself for why leadership of BTC is moving away from people like him, because he and his ilk have refused to take up that leadership.
Hm. Them's fighting words..
The btc foundation is btc users. I consider us to be on the same team, even if they are willing to negotiate with terrorists and aren't as anarchist as me.
Authority, freely given, is helpful in organizing. Any self respecting anarchoanything will tell you
that.
Also, if someone tells you theyll represent you and you believe and trust them, you will suffer.
