Introducing Ripple, a Bitcoin Copycat

"OpenCoin maintains a single global ledger; transactions are confirmed as the network’s servers automatically check the ledger"

Ohmygod - so some fools would want all the worlds transactions to be cleared by a single company's servers. Imagine the kind of political power that company would wield.

I will violently fight against such a system. It would be even worse than credit cards.

I don't see how this is even comparable to Bitcoin. It's not open and it's not decentralised.
