Ripple is junk, there's nothing to reset. That thing doesn't even have a proper blockchain. Anyone could run a service that works just like it out of a cloud hosted DB (or on Github, with transactions submitted in the form of commits).
- Canada 6y agoI'm vouching this comment. I've run a lot of cryptocurrency stuff, and in my opinion XRP nodes aren't worth the trouble to run. Because the consensus is decided by a validator under the control of the Ripple company there's really no point. Instead you just connect to one of their nodes and use it like any centralized service. In my view XRP is distributed but not really decentralized. It's sort of like DNS: Here's the list of nodes that you just blindly trust. Ripple the company can't seize your XRP holdings but they can freeze them and if they stop running their special nodes the whole system dies.
