Well, before I said anything you will need to
spend some time learning, that is unavoidable, but when you learn, you will be thrilled about Ripple and what he can do.
We live in a fast-paced crypto-currency world, things get changed in a blink of an eye and the one who can not follow get left behind. I don't want to argue about what you should do, I will just give you my opinion. If you want to fork Ripple, it will take you a lot of time to even understand the code because it's not documented as much as it could be, then you will have a lot of
investments because you need a fairly good number of servers, it will take some time to attract the customers of your forked network, in summary, you will spend a lot of time and possible you will be late and I said at the beginning of this post, what will happen when you late.
I understand a urge to make a fork of Ripple, because most of you think that Ripple is something like Bitcoin and Bitcoin has alt-coins, but you are wrong. If you want to have the same approach to alt-coining Ripple, better solution for you is to develop a
RIPPLE GATEWAY.
If you already have your alt-coin, you can serve as Ripple Gateway for your alt-coin in the Ripple network and attract more customers. Developing Ripple Gateway is very
well documented and your gateway can be up in no time.
For all Ripple critics, don't fight the tide, stop for a second and try to learn.
Ripple is a swiss-knife, it takes time to learn what he can do. Most of your critics are tied to one of the features and you don't completely understand how system works. First learn, then try, then make a critics.
For all people completely new to Ripple, Ripple is a
P2P network, let me repeat
P2P, let me repeat again
P2P. It's also decentralized currency exchange exchange, yes I wrote it twice because it is that. Everyone was
dreaming about decentralized currency exchange and here it is,
no more MtGox and centralized Bitcoin exchanges.
Contribute to the Ripple P2P network, host a rippled server, be the part of the future. Ripple brings complete freedom because Bitcoin P2P currency just got a P2P Currency Exchange.
I think I said enough, if you spend some time learning, I think you will think the same, don't spend time listening to what someone will tell you, have some
patience for a few days, learn it yourself:
