It seems there is a connectivity issue with the ripple public nodes. I tried to connect via xumm and my old desktopwallet. it doesnt connect to either s2.ripple.com or s1.ripple.com. There is no connection problem with xrplcluster.com. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I'm an Ethereum developer and I'm new here so if this question should be posted somewhere else I apogize in advance. So I studied the first ripple whitepaper(not the one published in 2018), "The Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm", and wanted to ask some questions(any help would be greatly appreciated): 1) firstly, what is the difference between a node and a server in Ripple? According to the whitepaper "any entinty running the Ripple Server Software is a server". I get this. We have stock servers and validator-servers? Is it the same if I call a server, a node. Intuitively I feel like running a stock-server in Ripple is kind of the same as running a GETH node in eth, right? This may sound simple but I want to know what is what. 2) is there an option for end users to run a UNL? Is the validator-server a UNL? If yes, I can answer the first part(yes). Since you can decide to run a validator server you can run a UNL. 3) the basic idea is that we split the network into subnetworks - UNLs and we verify these UNLs so in the end we combine these and verify the whole system. This is great but isn't it less secure than having a ethereum-like system where every node validates every transaction? 4) what is the latency requirment to participate in the voting process. Apart from the 2 second window for the candidate set submission. I mean is there any other requirement? 5) finally i felt strange with the fact that there is a flag/kick system for nodes in the network combined with the fact that the code isn't open source. Thank you in advance if you took the time to read my questions

I am new to rippled and am trying to learn what the difference is between a stock rippled node and a validating node. As I've read, a Stock server follows the network with a local copy of the ledger whereas a Validating server participates in consensus (and does everything a stock server does, too). I am currently running an instance of rippled and have run a performance profiler on the node, first on the non-validating node and then again when the node is running as a validator. Looking through the results, it seems that even when not running as a validator, the server makes calls to functions associated with consensus (ripple::RCLConsensus::Adaptor::doAccept, ripple::RCLConsensus::Adaptor::buildLCL, etc.) If a stock server is not supposed to be participating in consensus, why would there be calls to these functions? Could anyone explain to me why this is?

This article mentions some issues with Ripple's servers. https://medium.com/@slinafirinne/on-december-29th-lots-of-coins-went-missing-on-the-xrp-ripple-network-a1655e8d636d Could this be the problem that plague's exchanges and be the reason why people can't get their coins off of exchanges sometimes? This is far beyond me technically, but I think it's worth looking at and addressing for future and current XRP holders, as well as any technical experts that may be able to shed light on the potential issue. @nikb @JoelKatz @Sukrim -
Which type of AWS instance is suitable for rippled (only home research purpose) - getting mixed opinions: 1. t2.2xlarge (Variable ECUs, 8 vCPUs, 2.4 GHz, Intel Xeon Family, 32 GiB memory, EBS only) 2. m4.2xlarge (26 ECUs, 8 vCPUs, 2.4 GHz, Intel Xeon E5-2676v3, 32 GiB memory, EBS only) 3. m3.large (6.5 ECUs, 2 vCPUs, 2.5 GHz, Intel Xeon E5-2670v2, 7.5 GiB memory, 1 x 32 GiB Storage Capacity) 4. g2.2xlarge (26 ECUs, 8 vCPUs, 2.6 GHz, Intel Xeon E5-2670, 15 GiB memory, 1 x 60 GiB Storage Capacity) Thanks folks.

I've never worked with servers, but one can't help to have noticed that there seems to be an endless variety of ways to hack them. With the growth of crypto-currencies, it seems like the current generation of server operating systems/applications is woefully outdated. Why is this? Is a new generation of architecture needed to provide the security that is required? Does anyone know if this is something that is being worked on, or are our so-called guardians of the internet and operating systems developers going to keep adding more plugs, band-aids, pieces of tape, and rubber bands to what already exists?
