Craig Wright who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, wants to get patents related to cryptocurrency, blockchains etc.
This could affect probably all alt-coins

hi question for miners:

If you do delegated mining, does it matter which server you choose? or the profits are the same from each server?
thanks

Hi all

I am new to cryptocoins. I dont own any, and thinking about investing.
Bitcoin is too expensive and the only interesting coin I found was ripple. Reason for that is that I like they are doing something "real" - meaning helping banks to save money.

Few days ago I saw the article about Ripple making dead with Santander bank. I am watching the price of XRP for some time, but I dont see any big movement. I was expecting it will raise after this deal going public, but nothing happened..

Can somebody please explain why? And what needs to happen for this coin to raise value?

thank you
