I was just researching currencies with fastest transfer time and verified that Ripple works fast and with low fee. Curious if you've taken a look at it for your use case? I bought a small amount recently but am mostly just curious about which of these thousands of coins are actually useful for practical purposes.

Forgot to mention Ripple which is an interesting case with its mission to "The world’s only enterprise blockchain solution for global payments".

However, searching for useful things to do with Ripple as an individual leads to nada. All the use cases are provisional.

All the top 20 google results are for how to buy Ripple itself(in order to speculate).

I've started and stopped mining various currencies since BTC in 2011. Each time I stop because I do not see meaningful progress in usability.

Marketing speak there as all blockchains support global payments.
