Do you see any downsides? The only technical one I'm seeing is that the protocol isn't battle tested (e.g. can it cope with being spammed like crazy given it has zero fees?).
The one thing I didn't see in the paper is how you can make sure that other users have logs of your account. Bitcoin gives transaction fees as a way to pay for your stuff to be in the data, but how would I make sure mine is tracked?

Thanks!
Edit: tried to figure this out. There is no mining but there is something POW that it wants me to opt in to use my browser for.
Where can I read more about this (except for the source code).
You can read more about the coin at this website: https://raiblocks.net/, or on its subreddit. There is some "PoW" involved but it's used to deter spammers, and it's not a key component of the protocol. Since there are no fees, there's no tangible economic disincentive to deter someone from spamming the network. Thus, before sending a transaction you have to solve a small problem that takes a couple of seconds in commodity hardware.
I had heard about XRB for awhile but I'm surprised I couldn't find it on any of the major exchanges.
I made an account on that site, xrb_1h7fo6dwweg1gibqdddtgrfxfziqr6ezkzcfidnmsc6gnrbqerkynk4be63a
Anyway I know a thing or two about the technology, so if you have questions let me know and I'll do my best to answer or point you in the direction where I think you'll most likely find the answer :).

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll pay it forward as well.

Why is RaiBlocks superior to other cryptocurrencies?

Sure, why not.

Thanks.
thx bro
Thanks!
Create a wallet using this site https://raiwallet.com/, paste your address here and I'll send you some raiblocks. The transaction time is about ~5 seconds and there are no fees, so it's almost on par with a credit card, except you don't depend on a bank or a credit card company.
Also, check out this link to google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=raiblocks. You'll see that the country with the most interest in raiblocks is Venezuela, which coincidentally is going through hyperinflation. Bitcoins used to be quite big there as a way of avoiding the loss in value of the national currency, but as the country became poorer and the cryptocurrency networks more congested, the fees became prohibitively expensive. Raiblocks could be a good alternative to cash, or at least help some of the most technically savvy people.
What I'm aiming at is, give the technology a chance. As the top poster says, it might be a big bubble, but it might also be a revolutionary technology (or both, just like the internet).
EDIT: Sorry folks I have to go so you'll have to wait until I check my account again. Still I'll do my best to keep sending as long as people keep asking.
