When Ripple was first listed on CMC, I received a large amount of requests to remove it from the default listings. Times have changed and was wondering if the community still feels the same way. Personally, I feel that more information is better so I would be for listing it again, but I want to see what the community thinks.
If you vote 'No', please give a reason in the thread.

Ripple is not a zero-trust coin (you need a federation of trusted server to run it).
I think the comparison would be unfair, so I vote no.

YES and if someone wants it to trade, just make it tradable only for sells to dump it... Chinese way.

First of all, Ripple != XRP ("ripples") Anyways, you can run the open source server yourself and all you need (as with any other listed coin on that site) is just to use the globally accepted main chain of blocks (or in Ripple's case: ledgers). I don't see where ANY kind of trust is needed to send or receive XRP, maybe you can point me to the code portions in question? I would re-list XRP under the name "ripples", NOT "Ripple". Also I am not sure how to deal with the "total supply" part - after all theoretically all XRP could be transacted at any time (while only ~12 million BTC out of 21 million can be used atm.), on the other hand a huge part of these will first be handed out before being used for trade. I guess any solution would be fine, just please make sure that "Ripple" != "XRP (ripples)". |

Ripple is not a coin itself, is the fee that you pay for doing a transaction in their network

Ripple is a decentralized exchange. The native asset there is called "ripple(s)" or XRP. This asset has features that are very similar to any other asset on other block chains, e.g. BTC, LTC... and some unique ones, like being destroyed when transactions take place on Ripple (the exchange). They can be transacted and traded (and are intended to be!), so I would see them on one level functionally with any other "coin" listed on that page. |

I voted yes. I think newcomers shouldn't be subjected to bias of the few who fail to educate themselves on WHAT Ripple actually does. Let them make their own decision and show the full scope of alternative currencies on your website. Anyone who doesn't invest in a protocol which has million dollar backing from Google, Andreessen Horowitz (plus many others), a growing team of 35+ employees while providing a true revolutionary system for financial transaction is only hindering themselves. If it is really that hard for you to spot a good investment, maybe investing isn't for you or continue having fun with junkcoin et al on cryptsy.
This comes from a once vocal Ripple hater. I did my research and I fell in love.

I hope Ripple can be "pardoned" before xmas ... so far "no" and "no way" are not really good reasons.

The XRP rate is only relevant within the Ripple network so I'm unsure. The currency not meant to directly buy goods and services.

Needs to pass the Crypto Sniff Test:
1) Is it a coin that can be spent freely?
2) Is it decentralised and anonymous?
3) Is the code open source?
If YES to all three, then it is a bonafide crypto currency that can be traded freely. If NO to any, then its not a crypto currency.
KISS principle.

Change your vote now due to your obvious lack of intelligence. Do you think every alt currency that uses the name 'coin' in their name is associated with the dying monetary system because they can't come up with anything new or innovative, so they use the bit'coin' standard in their labeling? Just because Ripple's exchange is built-in and it doesn't follow the usual Bitcoin clone path, you deem it inappropriate. You wouldn't know what to do if innovation slapped you in the face. Fool. |

XRP is already the defacto #3 crypto-currency behind BTC and LTC, and a runner up with extremely strong fundamentals.
It's a question of credibility for CoinMarketCap.com to list it.
Taking a side in vain church fights doesn't do any good to your business.
If you need an example of a business who is doing awesomely well in spite of showing full support to Ripple from day one, look at Bitstamp.
