1  Other / Beginners & Help / We need a new coin market cap site ASAP before New Years 2014 on: December 26, 2013, 06:48:45 PM
coinmarketcap.com added Ripple at #2. Ripple is backed by wealthy connected investors, they bought their way onto Bitstamp and 90 billion ripple are owned by the top 15 holders.

We need a new market cap site that excludes pre-mined and closed-source coins as they threaten the decentralized movement and mislead new investors. Mastercoin, Nxt and Quark are basically pre-mined and should also be removed.

This is a shame because Mastercoin being a distributed exchange on the Bitcoin network is otherwise a fantastic idea.  Nxt is also written in Java which is a step backwards as the language is owned by Oracle, ask Google about how great of an idea it is to use a Java-like language. Imagine if Oracle unleashed its army of lawyers to claim ownership to the new world currency and all derivatives. Nxt is fundamentally tainted, it's too late to even rewrite it in another language, stay the hell away from it.

EDIT: Change your bookmarks to http://cryptmarketcap.com (thanks greentea)
