Hey bro, since you came into the community I was interested in your site. To be honest, my problem has been that I have never used either Ripple or Stellar and I don't know what is their purpose and how they work. I think if you wrote a little guide as to what we can do with DRK using your site and how these platforms could benefit us a lot more people would go try it. I know I would, I just honestly don't really know how it works.
Well, that's not a small task at all
Ripple and Stellar are IOU issuing systems, I think it's the best description for them. They both are the brain children of Jed McCaleb, the original creator of MtGox (yes, I know that's not the best vouch for a person, but he sold it to those who made a mess), Stellar being a clone of sorts of Ripple. Their best use? A great distributed trading platform.
But keep in mind they are centralised systems, so all funds you deposit to DR are held by DR, from which you get IOUs issued to your Ripple or Stellar account that can then be transferred or traded.
There are a lot of neat things about Ripple and Stellar, like the fact currencies are fungible, so if you hold USD from bitstamp and send to someone that only trusts snapswap, if there is a user holding balance and trust on both you can actually send USD.bitstamp to that user and have the USD.snapswap be delivered to your recipient, automatically.
Stellar doesn't support this yet, I believe, but Ripple also allows for you to send something, say BTC to someone even if you don't have BTC, by using for example DRK and trading it automatically for BTC before sending. It has a lot of possibilities and features. Most people, when thinking about Ripple or Stellar think about their own currencies, XRP and STR, even though these are not real currencies, rather tools in the system, and there is really no point in comparing them to BTC, DRK, etc, imho.
If you trade or need to transfer funds easily across currencies these systems are really worth a look, but they aren't altcoins or anything of the sort.
I find it hard to try and explain what all the fuss is about, as it took me many days to have my aha moment and seeing the possibilities, but do read around and if you have any specific question I can help with let me know.
