Monero - secure, private and untraceable currency.
That's a joke, market caps of mined and non-mined coins are completely different things. I can fuckin make non-mined coin and give it like gazzilion units and dethrone Bitcoin if I want.

Nah, they just updated web page which said only 8,2 billion is distributed while the truth was that its 28 billion. They just know updated their web page. Before it said 72 billion held, 8 billion distributed. Since 100 billion is created its common knowledge that 28 billion is distributed if 72 billion is held. Everyone knew that. I dont know why coinmarketcap used 8,2 billion in the first place.

The most correct would be to use 100 billion since its premine and all of them are created at once.

yeah right, just a few hours after another scam outperformed their baloney, sure.

I dont think Ripple Labs is even remotely considered about its market cap or price of XRP. For over 2 years they keep telling people that XRP is not speculative currency and that its price doesnt matter. They have much more serious business to do.

IMO they were pressured by buyers to do it, since before it was 8,2bn and then Jed came out saying he will dump 9bn so noone understood how is that possible and people thought that 8,2bn is misleading number.

wtf? people actually check to include the premine scamcoins when viewing coinmarketcap  Huh

By default coinmarketcap does not show the premine amount, you have to filter it.

I guess ripple is on track to be the first trillion dollar coin.

Terminated.
They didn't actually release any new coins, they just updated the figures to include the founders' allocation which for some unknown reason was missing from the numbers before.

But I agree that doing this now just to push above Bitshares and steal their limelight does't look good. I also find it strange since Ripple Labs seems to be doing everything it can to move Ripple away from the crypto currency scene and to get its users from traditional Financial Tech type companies.
From the recent information that I've gathered both Bitshares and Ripple are bad to their very core.
They did however surprise me when Ripple jumped to #3. If they had distributed most of the funds their market would crash, same with Bitshares.

Keep everything to themselves, bump up the price and unload on the market. Good to see its fork Stellar following a similar get rich quick path.
Some day we will see an actually good fork with a good distribution.

The guys and gals at Ripple got desperate and just released another 20 billion XRP (8B before) to leap frog to #3 on Coinmarketcap from one second to another Cheesy

Haha...

As of now:
71,010,747,718  Total XRP Held by Ripple Labs
28,989,252,282  Total XRP Held by Others

The protocol allows the team to "issue" new coins ??

No new coins were issued, they just updated the figures to include the founders' allocation.

XRP as a currency might be shit, but the Ripple system seems to be good and with ~50 employees they have now it can be something big one day.

That was such a dumb move....it just screams: "Oh noes, I'm afraid of the big bad BTSX"

Even if it was planned before BTSX showed up, the timing makes it look so dodgy.
Oh, well, it's their reputation on the line.
