i read the whitepaper when it first came out , and I have owned/bought xrp from the beginning. (I am not a millionaire yet - but sitting very decent atm)
Poor nay-sayers - some people just don't know how to read or comprehend the white paper.
OK, well back to getting another ripple node running (I almost have my testnet running - a few more days and I wil try a real node)
Intriguing! You are deep in, then! You should write about it (unless you already have - I'm just finding my feet here)
I am working on getting a node up and running. I post every now and then on my page -
so far i have a server w several vms running - one of them is xrp node on testnet
once i get my wifes website done - i will jump back to getting to know xrp / nodes / coding better ;)
