I haven't looked at Ripple yet, but, as you have said, I have heard good things about the team. I'm not sure I understand one comment you made; "The idea was so profound I couldn't not trust the blockchain." I'm curious as to your meaning. If you find a moment, perhaps you could expound on that thought.
Cheers.
No problem! Two negatives make a positive. I wrote in the moment to get some thoughts off my chest. I feel they're definitely worth looking into. My guess is they'll be going mainstream mid year 2017 but I've also been with them for 3 years now so take that with a grain of salt! It's been one hell of a bumpy ride with them and Jed (one of the co founders) who works on stellar now. Lots of controversy.
