I'll just skip over the profanity you posted and give you the answer you seem ignorant about for quite a while now
Look, this is the question I have been asking right from the start, don't try to act smart by calling me ignorant of it; of course, because I am asking the question.
From the OP:
I want to address a few questions that I know will come up:
1. ForksPeople will fork the network pretty much instantly (as soon as they can figure out our config files
), so does that worry me re: job security? Of course. But that's the whole point of open-sourcing: It's one thing we can do to help keep us honest. I believe as long as we continue to live up to our promises, work hard and provide value to users, they will continue to use our network. And in doing so they're supporting our effort to build out the software and extend the network through any and all means available until all XRP are sold or given away.
I don't believe in closed-source, I don't believe in copyright, but I do believe in supporting the artists, the developers and entrepreneurs who make things happen. We have a growing team of people with big ideas and ambitious plans. So please consider using the original network so we can continue to develop amazing features and integrate every payment system on the face of the planet.
One final request for those planning to fork: If you do fork, please come up with a unique name for your network and a different currency code than XRP. A little search and replace won't kill you and you'll make life a lot easier and less confusing for both our users and your own.
I'm digging thru the code trying to get what it is about. It will take a lot of time to get understanding of the sources without a good manual. Is there any btw?
Besides the README files and comments in the code, a more high level view and understanding is possible by reading respective articles on the wiki:
https://ripple.com/wiki/Main_Page(By the way, you might want to correct your trust rating to mah87 - forgot to check that box?).
Nope, he "earned" that rating fair and square by spamming me. See the linked thread in the rating. I don't think that this warrants a "This rating is negative -- the person is not trustworthy:" tag, however people are free to see my opinion of this and act accordingly. I'll just go ahead and give you a similar one...
