Unless you work for Forbes magazine you run the risk of losing money as  customer service and the community really don't care until you make a public spectacle of the lost transactions.

Read one users experience with how bad ripple really is.

I don't think anyone takes ripple seriously, i wouldn't even call it a currency.


Ripples was like ooo, ahhh the first time using it. But, in reality it's just plain shit. The devs and whoever else took part in ripples had 1 thing on their minds and that's how to make a quick buck.. more whorish then any alt-currency I've ever seen.


They were successful at 1 thing, at the least.






Mastercoin is a major major failure too, but that's a different discussion.

Read the update in the article, this was a f*ckup of SnapSwap, a gateway. This would be like people hating on Bitcoin because MtGox is currenctly screwing up big time. He actually did not really deal with XRP at all and would have avoided these issues if he did.

but to the general public you will be judged on that, just like people are reacting on bitcoin with the mtgox fail.
The two are paired for 90% of the population. Just like that twitter account, that is just bad PR.
its a problem of every radically new thing.
