/biz/ doesn't deserve to know. Please keep such news private

>>7705692
Didn't Schwartz say that Interledger should start to be a thing in the next few weeks?

>>7705976
when v4 of the protocol is finalized

>>7706028
interledger has nothing to do with oracles though?

>>7706076
yeah it has nothing to do with oracles, but Codius does, and it will use Interledger. See >>7705717

bump

Coinbase will never add XRP...it does not fit their criteria for listings

>>7707107
Fuck Coinbase. Xrp doesn't rely on getting listed there.

>>7707122
lol it is only one of the biggest fiat>crypto exchanges there are. Who is still buying XRP bags?

>>7707107
>muh criteria
>muh guidelines

read and weep, retard.

>>7707268
Yeah great, a disclaimer. You realize their first part of the framwork is that there is no central entity? Literally what XRP is...a non-mined centralized coin

>>7707315

it's actually more decentralized than bitcoin

.Bitcoin
-One company has more than 50% of the hashpower (Bitmain)
-One oppressive country has more than 50% of hashpower (China)
-One company has a monopoly on creating efficient ASIC Bitcoin miners thanks to patents (Bitmain)
-One company can rollback the chain and bankrupt the entire ecosystem (Bitmain)


Ripple
-10s of validators run by reputable non-related public and private entities in different countries (e.g., Microsoft, MIT, CGI, WorldLink, Telindus-Proximus Group, Bahnhof, ...)
-double spending not possible (the chain can't be rolled back)
-Consesus requires a supermajority of 80%
-Anyone can run a validator and use his own list of validators

>Bitmain
>Ripple
So both are equally centralized

Forget Ripple. You're telling me I can just buy ETH with that app?

>>7707547
Ripple Labs can't double spend, and if it disappears today, the network would keep functioning.

Bitmain can double spend, and if it disappears today, the network would become very very slow. It would take forever to adjust difficulty. Miners would mine something else.

The memes are real

>>7707465
Your post has so many inaccuracies. First off, this is the mining hashpower distribution for btc:
https://blockchain.info/pools

Currently, not anyone can be a validator of XRP. Your whole post is just FUD.

>>7707547
They're both shit as far as the criteria for a quality crypto currency goes.

>>7705615
I have a Revolut card, and I love it. But you can't transfer any crypto to your own wallet if you buy through Revolut. Sort of defeats the purpose if they own the private keys. But Ripple buyers probably don't care anyway.

>>7707781
bitmain owns several pools, retard.


>not anyone can be a validator of XRP

every ripple node validates, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

>>7708234
>every ripple node validates
All owned by a few corporations collaborating under a formal agreement. That makes them a defacto central entity.

>>7708633
nope, you still don't know what you are talking about. you can run a validator without anyone's permission.

>>7707615
They froze one of the leaving developers wallets tho right?

>>7708949
Not true. XRP can't be frozen by anyone. Only tokens can be frozen by their issuers.

Bitstamp has USD tokens/IOUs though (like Tether), what MIGHT have happened is that Ripple asked them to issue USD tokens that belong to Jed.

If Ripple Labs had the power to freeze anything they wouldn't have asked.

>>7709083
*asked them to freeze

this is going to be a good year

i find it astounding how many idiots think POW is a feature.
It's shit because miners want to maximize returns, and as soon as your coin becomes unprofitable to mine, transactions slow down.
and the miners like to create high fee scenarios for profit (not even a 2 MB block size)

then there's the glaring inefficiency of having Exa-hash rates using more electricity than the entirety of Ireland.

Wasting electricity does not give your coin value. Otherwise NEO would be worthless.

reminder you can't actually buy crypto on revolut. you're only gaining exposure to its price like a spread bet, so you can't move it to your own wallet or anything

pump it!!!

This. Proof of Work is a bug, not a feature. The Communists thought that labor was the source of value. Turns out that working hard on something doesn't make it inherently more valuable. Ripple was right to make a centralized pre-mined shitcoin. All-in on XRP.
