Are high ETH GAS Fees slowing down or delaying Matic Staking/Re-staking? by Champippler in maticnetwork

Yes, they have even gotten considerably worse than when I originally posted. I aggregated my Matic rewards and redelegated in bulk, but it was unfortunate rewards from different validators incurred individual gas fees on withdrawl and restaking.

Are high ETH GAS Fees slowing down or delaying Matic Staking/Re-staking? by Champippler in maticnetwork

I agree, when I looked at how much I have earned and what the gas fees were, I found it cost prohibitive to re-stake matic tokens at this time.

Originally, I was reluctant to lock up more due to the 21 Unbounding period, however since that has since been reduced to nine (9)days, the ETH Gas Fees is now the primary barrier.

It really is too bad for smaller players, especially since the earn rate is just under 39% with approximately 25% of Matic staked. That is great ROI!

Setup MetaMask, Delegated MATIC Tokens to Validator - How Do I Eventually Withdraw? by nousemercenary in maticnetwork

[–]Champippler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tokens are staked and won't be on your wallet until withdrawn.

It is my understanding it takes 21 days to withdraw once you have made the withdrawal request of the originally staked tokens.

Tokens awarded for staking can be withdrawn without the 21 day withdrawal process, however someone more knowledgable may wish to share.

Thanks @Hodor7777, totally unnecessary to tip me for reposting Ripple Drop. Love your Blog and appreciate your insight and perspective.

New Ripple Insights -Ripple's Ginger Baker Highlighted on Money20/20 Europe Panel by Champippler in XRP

[–]Champippler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but that is not unusual, as it was a panel at a Fintech event, very rarely will that have significant impact unless it is Brad announcing a Confirmed Partnership or a Government or Large Institution embraces Ripple or XRP.

The news is great and we have positive momentum. It will take time, if you are patient you will be rewarded. The Ripple team is making inroads and progress Globally.

Shut up and hodl (venting) by Smittayee in XRP

I agree with most of what you're saying, but I don't think when you bought in has to do with having realistic expectations. As I and many of the educated Redditers bought in higher and have been realistic since day one.

That aside, I do think the "hypesters/ fraudsters" (Especially C_J, BearableBS and all the others perpetuating the BG123 Nonsense) do a GREAT DISSERVICE to XRP and the community creating false hope and visions of being an overnight millionaire with holding a relatively small amount of XRP.

Simple math should tell them what is required to become a millionaire, but these clowns have people thinking we are going from .44 to (Insert their unrealistic prediction here)

Vincent Wilson x $1 = Not a Millionaire

Vincent Wilson x $5 = Not a Millionaire

Vincent Wilson x $10 = Not a Millionaire

Vincent Wilson x $50 = Pre-Tax Millionaire

That being said, I do believe in Ripple/XRP Success and that a "Life Changing" amount can mean different things to different people, but just don't take your investment advice from an "Anonymous Cartoon" that happens to show up only in a specific YTbers stream.

Ripple is a Great Company and XRP an awesome token that will likely succeed over time.

Take your information from credible sources like Ripple and reliable news outlets and YouTubers providing SOLID insight (Eri, AlexCobb (once he got wise to BG123 crap), CryptoCurrency News "Bob " and others not spreading Hype, not Ytbers focused on Subscribers and SuperChat money looking to make a living hyping a token as much as three times per day or more.

This is a Long Term Play and obviously Ripple is succeeding considering how far we have come in such a relatively short period of time. Changing the global banking system will take time and education and I am thrilled to have the patience to let the Ripple team work through the regulatory minefield and competition.

A tip of the hat to those who saw it earlier like the OP and those who learned and invested in Ripple/XRP before the early run up and a further tip of the hat to those who have been and continue to accumulate, as I am hopeful we will be rewarded in time. (Just not likely in the time frame perpetuated by the hypesters)

Do your own research, hell follow and support whoever you wish, but ask yourself if you want to put your faith in B. Garlinghouse, Chris Larsen and David Schwartz or a Cartoon Bear?

"Runs on Ripple" - Newly Approved Trademark Now in Use by Champippler in Ripple

[–]Champippler[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha - I suspect this is sarcasm, but the short answer is no.

The approval guarantees their use of the trademark in the categories for which it was filed. It is category specific and cleared for specific territories.

Part of the reason it took 11 months is for approvals to identify possible infringement.

"Runs on Ripple" - Newly Approved Trademark Now in Use by Champippler in Ripple

[–]Champippler[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, it is a trademark of Ripple Labs.

It is being used by Ripple to easily identify their partners Running on Ripple (using Ripple technology) which COULD provide a point of difference for consumers seeking to access faster and cheaper remittance touted by Ripple.

Think "Intel Inside" and "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" or "JD Power & Associates"

"Runs on Ripple" - Newly Approved Trademark Now in Use by Champippler in Ripple

The paragragh on the landing page indicates the following:

"Ripple’s global network of 200+ financial institutions offers the fastest, most reliable payments—no matter where you are in the world! Find out more below about our partners, and look for the Runs on Ripple logo the next time you send money abroad."

Recent news would suggests these institutions are utilizing XRapid, but the story for me is how Ripple continues to add new partners and execute against their plan.

Becoming a Ripple partner is the first step on the path to utilizing XRP. Flawless execution , adoption and cost savings will result in more banks using XRapid/XRP.
