How are they violating an open source license? They are not using any GPL-ed code.
And you've got proof to back it up? Hmm?
I find it interesting that you made your thread "moderated" to prevent any sort of critical discussion.
It's not to prevent critical discussion, it's to prevent dumps of copypastas. Feel free to discuss issues raised on the site.
My thoughts on this is that you are just pissed off because they came up with a really amazing idea which just happens to have the biggest pre-mine in the history of crypto-currency.
There are problems with the "debt is money" model, in addition to how it is centralized and closed source.
But is it a scam? I will concede that if it doesn't become open source then there are some significant problems. However, I see no evidence of an evil plan.
You don't call something open source if it is not open source, like how it's illegal to advertise "ALL DRINKS FREE" in your signs, and when people enter you tell them "oh this will happen eventually".
The reason why I created a website is for SEO. RippleScam would have succeeded when it is the #2 result when someone searches for "ripple", and of course the #1 result for "ripple scam". I'm also looking into advertising this on AdWords for the terms meanwhile.
