I still think it's one of the better offerings in p2p, but I've taken this as the point to stop auto-lend and start getting cash back out.

I can get in and see how much I have, but I can't make any movements out. May take this as an excuse to switch to something like nationwide flexplus. Happy to refer you for a £100 bonus (for you and me) if you do want to move to Nwide. Just PM me. Thanks, I'll keep you in mind.

There is no "Ripple Network" as such. Ripple the company offer their technology to companies, institutions, etc. And they employ their own networks and tokens in whichever way suits them.
I'd say XRP is like a proof of concept, good marketing for Ripple.

The coins are the shares in a company involved in crypto world.
If you want to share in the success of a blockchain developer you support them by buying the tokens at the ICO. After that, you share in their success if the value of the tokens rises.
I don't understand what you mean about ripple and XRP are different things? Ripple is the company and XRP was their token. The XRP is eventually going to be the token of use in many of their applications. Not quite, the coins entitle you no ownership, voting rights, or dividends like shares. And as for XRP/Ripple, XRP could disappear tomorrow but the Ripple technology would still exist. Why would a company that wants to use Ripple technology choose to buy XRP off of the Internet to use as token, when they can just use their own token? Most (but not all, admittedly) who have used Ripple use their own tokens.

Easy, you support an ICO for a company that you believe will be able to make a difference in the Blockchain technology in the future.
Ripple for example is a good company doing good things with major corporate investors. Have a look at their webpage No, I don't want anything to do with the coins. XRP and Ripple are two separate things. I was wondering maybe there were shares in companies like Ripple?

Here's somebody who disagrees with you: “It’s a pretty big blow,” said Russ Dallen, the managing director at Caracas Capital. “Since most cryptocurrencies are not actually backed by anything real, cryptocurrency speculation is based on the greater fool theory -- I can buy this at $100 because there is someone who is a bigger idiot who is going to buy it at $200. When you take the U.S. out of that equation, you reduce the interest and potential for that speculation.” www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-19/trump-prohibits-u-s-purchases-of-venezuelan-cryptocurrencyBut that wasn't in the original article that you posted. For every person you see talking down Crypto currency, someone will talk it up. A bit like me and you right now!
I can post a hundred articles from people all over the world claiming that Crypto Currency is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Would it change your mind? No. So I don't bother trying to get people to change their mind. I like to let them make up their own mind.
If you don't want to invest in the technology (Notice I didn't say currency!), then don't. Others do and have. The ones that have really looked into the subject are very aware of the FUD that keeps coming out, and I am sure it will keep coming for a long, long time. Well, at least until the banks have found a way to utilise it and increase their profits by %XXXX's. Then, when it is controlled by the real capitalists of the world, then the fools can really be taken in by it (And probably not even batter an eyelid at it).
If you want to see some people really wasting their money, head on over to the Lendy pages!
How can I invest in blockchain technology? That is something I would be interested in.

That's a shame, I would consider it if they did a competitive easy access account.

All under one roof sort of thing?
I would hope HL can negotiate a good rate from savings providers on account of scale, whether that is the case I don't know.

nesako I have been told that at some point this year these farms which are currently banned will go offline and be relocated. I have no idea where they are going but it will be a good month of downtime at least which will reduce supply. My bet would be India but this is just speculation. Supply of new bitcoins mined per day will remain the same (1800 per day currently) - it will just become slightly easier for the other miners to operate.

I cannot emphasise enough the need for investors to keep computers updated. Windows updates should be run regularly & latest security updates installed. Good anti virus software is available at a small cost & will block all sorts of malicious malware, adware, trojans, phishing & hacking attempts. P2P & banking transactions can be conducted in Safe Mode making you invisible online. Spot on. Would add that keeping your browser up to date is crucial as well. There are also add ons for chrome, Firefox etc to increase security like forcing the use of https. Ad blockers are controversial but they do stop unsafe ads. I used to use NoScript on Firefox.
