I think they can take all their pre-mined coins and their centralized infrastructure and piss off now.

Centralized, *closed source* infrastructure.

Fixed That For You.

What? The code source has not been released yet?! How long can you say you do something and do the opposite until people say you're a liar?

Apparently, quite long.

Another piece of new for you: the Ripple server/validator program called rippled, whose source code is withheld from release, is not available for downloading, instead the binary is provided on a "invited-only" basis. Wink

http://ripplescam.org/ makes a pretty convincing argument.

Ripple does have some very cool features but I feel the deception about being open source while actually being closed plus the huge pre mine has killed the project before it ever really got started. We gave serious consideration to adopting this coin in our small casino but were swayed against doing so but arguments summed up in the site posted above.

What does it offer more than a WDC(instant confirmation) with all coins mined in the genesis block(XRPs and no need to worry about discarded blocks) and colored coins implemented into the client(IOUs) can do?

Ripple has been super-anxious to be the next 'thing' riding the coat tails of Bitcoin's success, but that is falling by the wayside thanks to this: https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page

especially all the pumpers that have been spamming this forum cloaked as Bitcoiners.
