Any updates on Ripple?

[tokeweed]

I thought Ripple was becoming the banking world's foremost distributed ledger.  But I have recently read that R3CEV is supported by the bigger banks.

Banking heavyweights pump investment into blockchain start-up R3CEV

R3CEV, a New York-based blockchain start-up, has received the backing of nine major investment banks.

The group of investors include J. P Morgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS and Credit Suisse, many of which are already actively looking at ways to use distributed ledger technology in their systems.

The investment in R3CEV is said to be part of a prototyping and proofing process in which the investors and start-up will pool their resources to improve the banks’ internal investigations.

Update: Ripple is still a broken system.

May as well use the legacy banking system.

Any plans in getting more BTC exchanges to join Ripple somehow?

that would be a good idea...only snapswap and bitstamp at the moment...

can you "mine" (forge, host a node, participate in the network for transaction fees, or whatever you want to call it) Ripple?

I don't think so...ripple is at a all time low right now though...so potential trading opportunity to those with eyes to see

I guess you mean Jed...who sold out and setup his own clone of ripple called stellar...STR is even more of a hot mess than XRP

I feel this is a good opportunity to buy some Ripple for the rebound. Sure it won't go up a lot but it will go up to at least 3k where you can sell to make a profit.

I don't think so

Then how can it be listed on coinmarketcap if it is not a public (anyone is free to try to mine it) crypto?

Is there any website out there that has a list of only public (mineable) cryptos?

I don't care about privately mined chains, and I suspect that nobody else here does either.

Ok.  Find a way to mine Ripple and get back on here if you do.  I'll give you 100 BTC if you find a way.
