With all the trolling towards the end and considering there was no activity for nearly a year, yes.

About Joel's wife ? A lot, I bet more than he knows himself.

Sorry, but i meant the thruth about ripple.

To be so personal and emotional when discussing in this forum just disqualifies the arguments. So please, if you have something serious to say, Im interested.
Oh, you were serious.

For "what i know", check links in my signature.
This topic has been discussed so many times...

In short:
- Ripple is not either open source or decentralized
- Their website lies about the truth

No more "truths" i know.

Then you believe it is just "OK" to lie in that manner to get more people in the project ?
Do you still beat your wife?
No, but i beat yours, and man - she likes it.

So are we going to start insulting each other instead of just discussing on the topic ?

Why dont you tell us what you know?

Why don't you just update the site and wiki so it reflects **the truth** ? That would shut the mouths of all critics.
It wouldn't shut the mouths of any critics, they'd just move on to some other argument that they don't actually believe.

Might be worth a try. A through description of the situation would actually be helpful imo.
Of course it wouldn't stop the zealots, but they'd have a harder time to gain followers for sure..

Yes the next thing will be: "It's pre-mined!" then after that "But you guys wanna destroy Bitcoin!" and after this "We will fork your code and make it obsolete, hurr durr!"
However in contrast to the licensing issue it requires some serious mental gymnastics to misinterpret things to come to these points.

So does that mean you guys will shut up once the beta ends and rippled is released as promised?
Probably.
The question is: will it really happen ?
I am personally committed to ensuring this happens by the end of the year at the very latest and, I hope, around September. We have been focusing on outside audits of the source code, increasing the number of, and geographic distribution of, organizations that run validators to gather more real-world data on the behavior of the code, testing the logic that controls changes to the transaction processing rules, and so on.

Hey Joel, let me understand something.

Why all the lies ?

I mean WTF ? Is that really so damn difficult ?

The most popcorn worthy drama is how OpenCoin is going to inject the remaining 49 billion something XRPs into the market.

Bitcoin makes a lot of design sacrifices to enable it to operate as a distributed system with no central authorities. Whenever anyone suggests making a centralized system based on Bitcoin, everyone rightly points out that you have to accept all those sacrifices and in exchange get no benefits. That's just bad engineering. Ripple similarly makes lots of design sacrifices to enable it to operate as a distributed system with no central authorities. Not running it that way, you gain absolutely nothing in exchange for those design sacrifices (other than to validate the design).
