Doesn't surprise me. Wouldn't also surprise me to see many uninformed users start using ripple and then find out how much of a broken system it is based on the claims of what the system is by the people that back it...
Decentralized
Secure
Fixes the brokeness of the traditional payment systems.
oh and not to mention the 100 Billion XRPs of which half is owned by the company that backs ripple they "promise" not to dump.
Do your research people.

Pumping and dumping is based on speculation, false predictions etc... This is not pumping and dumping, this is news sharing. It was a speculation when this was announced and many of us was curious what the special news might be: https://ripple.com/blog/win-free-tickets-to-the-exclusive-money2020-ripple-developer-conference-and-50000-xrp/10:25-11:20am – Integrating with Ripple for Merchants and Gateways, Bob Way and Brian Keller-Heikkila Integration Engineer Bob Way will explain how merchant and gateway integration works. Brian Keller-Heikkila, CTO of ZipZap, will join Bob on stage to share special news. ... and now this video put some light on it, so it's news sharing, let me repeat NEWS SHARING

It's not just news, it's not just good news, it's HUGE news! And not just for the Ripple network but for the entire crypto space. Nearly everyone in crypto has the same need, the need for liquidity in and out of the crypto space. You want more BTC users? You need more ways for people to get money in the system. Love Ripple or hate it, this is great for everyone. A crypto explosion is near and Ripple will be there.

Yes, that's for sure, 700 000 cash-in locations is just the start. People don't realize that most of those, 100 billion XRP which are in OpenCoin (Ripple Labs) possession will be used to make Ripple bigger. So if we compare Ripple with a star, Ripple is a star that has huge amount of hydrogen (fuel), it has a potential to grow big. XRP's will be used to strengthen the development team, fund the development, make integration with more companies like ZipZap, make good marketing and promotion of Ripple network all around the world. In summary Ripple will be the mother of all payment systems, let me call it the "integrator" of all payment systems. It will erase the line between crypto-currency world and conventional payment systems by accepting both crypto and conventional worlds to create their Ripple Gateways.

Do you have information like number of zipzap customer ? What is zipzap yearly income ? ZipZap is not unknown company, it's quite well known even in the Bitcoin world. For example, by creating partnership with ZipZap, BitInstant was able to provide this service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83209.0It was revolutionary for BitInstant and I'm sure it will be the same for Ripple.

Just as this service is available via BitInstant, it will be probably available via Ripple, so not directly via ZipZap, but via their partners...

I think it will be exclusive partnership between Ripple and ZipZap, because ZipZap CEO is also a member of Ripple Labs Advisory Board. By providing 700 000 cash-in locations Ripple is on the right track.

Read the OPI read it. 700k location doesn't mean anything in itself. How many actual customer ? Annual turn-over ?

ZipZap doesn't provide customers, it provides cash-in locations. For example, you don't ask how many users have used particular ATM machine, you ask for it's location to be near you.

Let me rephrase it.... how many users ?? how many transactions ...? etc.... edit:My point is that zipzapinc may be a dying start-up with aggreements with 700k locations but not customers and trying to find a new way to make business or find some funds with xrp/ripple.

So if I'm right ZipZap will probably enable people to purchase XRP online and then complete the transaction with cash at for example, a local CVS store. Thus giving quick entry into the Bitcoin market for many people. So someone might purchase XRP and then trade them for Bitcoin using the Ripple network.

Yes, I guess that ZipZap will become a Ripple Gateway, but we must wait to see what currency could be ordered, I guess xrp, usd and btc.

Since I have used ZipZap\Moneygram, let me added my take on this news.
Last year I went to BitInstant.com and got a ZipZap deposit number. When to my local Walgreens (pick you location nearest) to transfer the money. Went to the RED phone in Photo area and picked it up; it goes instantly to Moneygram operator who verified my name/info and destination. Then, I went to the checkout counter where they have a monegram\zipzap screen view of transactions pending at their location. I paid my order. "Eventually" got my coins from bitinstant. Note to all, you have to be legit on this, they verify ID etc. There is a KYC paper trail, which I am perfectly fine with.
The reverse will be the same. Send to Walgreens with ZipZap transaction ID. Verify on red phone. Pickup cash at location. Obviously, withdrawal amounts are limited.
Now, how does this apply to this (rumored) Ripple news. It would only mean that Ripple is competing with BitInstant now. That is it. It has ZERO bearing on the price of XRPs. The ripple currency was never meant to have any value. In fact, they are only used to execute transactions in Ripple network. Also, 1 ripple....just one ripple...is enough for 10000 transactions. So, you only will ever need a few for your whole life.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Ripple XRP has many purposes inside Ripple network. If we assume that Ripple network is going to be successful, then XRP is more valuable then any IOU. XRP is the only currency that you can send without fee, you don't have to set trust in order to send/receive XRP and lastly it could be exchanged for any IOU.

... The ripple currency was never meant to have any value.
XRP uses: - Prevent transaction spam
To protect the network from excess transactions, transaction fees are raised when the network is under load. - Prevent ledger spam
To keep processing fast, the ledger size must be limited. XRP reserves are required to occupy space in the ledger. - A natural bridging currency
XRP has low friction, can not be debased, and has no counter party risk. Market makers may use XRP to make a profit providing inter-gateway liquidity at a spread.

Just to explain how big news this integration is, Moneygram has 200 000 agent locations worldwide, Western Union has 520 000, ZipZap has 700 000, ZipZap is already using Moneygram network in the U.S. + it uses other networks, so in total ZipZap has 700 000 locations worldwide.
