Its mostly run by businesses, banks, gateways, and eco system developers because with rippled server you do a lot more then only with client.

So, are you saying it's mostly centrally regulated entities running ripple servers? Well, just like I said, it's not decentralized. It just means the network has more than one center, but they are still centers.

Those are your words not mine, most of rippled servers are run by developers  and ripple supporters. Although business and banks run them too.

And your logic is really funny, so if 100 nodes run nxt that doesnt mean that network has more then 1 center but they are still centers? lol (now compare that to over 1000 of ripple and tell me which is more centralized).

EDIT: wouldnt you be happy if amazon started to accept nxt and run a wallet or would you call it central control situation? (I would be happy if amazon started to accept any crypto, so that you know my stand).

Hi,

I want to invest in one of these two. I'm having trouble figuring out who controls all the ripples. Also is it true that ripple labs copyrighted the term "ripple"?

To the moon G!


Ripple is still in beta, only small portion has been issued. Nxt is mostly held by its founder and his alts. You can find good blog post on Szalasz blog where its explained how they released only about 25% of currency to people. Ripple as term cannot be copyrighted, ripple effect etc, its generic term.

The only real downside to ripple is trading in the damn things, as far as I can see there is only one place to buy them from <----- correct me if I'm wrong though please.

I seriously looked at ripple 2 weeks ago and am now wishing I had got some, the issue I have now is when will the bubble burst ?

You can buy it at many places, bitstamp, kraken, justcoin, ripplechina, ripplejapan, ripplesingapur, snapswap, rippleisrael, therock trading etc, maybe this link helps you: http://www.ripplecharts.com/#/

But I dont know how good it is for speculations, I use ripple only to transfer fiat from exchange to exchange to do arbitrage on bitcoin. When bitinstant got closed most of us traders got cut out since we had to start paying extremely big fees for bank wires out from 1 exchange and into another. I hope ripple gets adopted by more exchanges because it solves that issue and is around 1000 times cheaper then bitinstant was.

Edit: not to mention speed, when i sent 10,000 USD from bitstamp anywhere I get it in 2 seconds while with bank wire I had to wait 3 days to arrive to me and then 3 days to arrive at exchange.

Everyone can run Ripple server

What is the incentive?

Isnt that funny question to come from nxt supporter when next community was the one calling people to run wallets so network doesnt cripple? since noone wanted to run them as they get like 0,1% a year.

All these nxt threads, I really cant make up my mind if they are a plus for nxt or not.

There are as many good for nxt as there are against, I guess its free advertising either way, and people will make there own mind, but for sure nxt has caught the imagination of both the lovers and the fighters..

I am not fighter, I just dont like to see something called innovative when its actually a shitclone. And I hope all crypto currencies go up, if people lose on alts they will not have money to buy bitcoin which currently sets the trends of crypto in world.

Ripple and BitShares networks are:
servers (called validators in Ripple and delegates in BitShares) + clients.

NXT is a peer-to-peer network, that means every node is both a server and a client.

Two different approaches.
Ripple and BitShares are distributed networks.
NXT is a truely decentralized p2p network.

Everyone can run Ripple server, same as everyone can run nxt wallet. So Ripple is truly decentralized p2p network. And you do not have to run ripple client to run server too. its your choice.

Now Ripple introduced Smart Contracts https://ripple.com/blog/smart-oracles-building-business-logic-with-smart-contracts/ wait till Nxt copies that and gives it some fancy name like "von Clevernous of Contractorous" lol

Yes, while Ripple is still talking about the concept of Smart Contracts, Nxt has done the coding and is implementing the Smart Contracts - https://nxtforum.org/smart-contracts/express-your-wish-(smart-contracts)/

Ripple can't be copyrighted because it's a generic term? Are you sure? Then why does Apple have a copyright?

Check the numbers, then come back. In Ripple there are validators and all the others.

Every Rippled server is validator Smiley

hey atoni,

Ripple is not decentralized, so all those functions don't have a meaning. All those functions already existed before Ripple - centralized exchanges (forex and stock exchanges), instant transactions (Paypal and many other digital payment systems), aliases (DNS system), everything else. Ripple just put them all together, but it's still centralized. If you need centralized, just use what was before Ripple that I listed above.

Lets see, Rippled servers are run on over 1000 different entities around the world. Nxt is run on 100 nodes (or maybe 150 by now). Which one is more centralized?
