How trustworthy is Rippex?

[jumperabv3]

I am using their wallet to store my XRP, I am using the offline version so I have the wallet file as well.

I'm just wondering if you guys feel Rippex is a trustworthy source for storing XRP or would you go for a different one?

It's managed by an old Ripple community member (@RafOlP). IMO it's trustworthy.

What happens if that member disappears/dies (god forbid!!) or anything like this - would there be any "backup" or someone else behind?

Hello guys, I think it is important that we have some things clear.

• Rippex is a 3 years old gateway that has been storing user's money flawlessly and is trusted by its users
• We are all high profile professionals with serious backgrounds in different areas
• Rippex's gateway model works with any wallet since we link bank and digital currencies accounts to ripple accounts
• The wallet we made available was developed by the ripple team when they were not forbidden of doing wallets - we made it in our own repo (a fork) so there would be no confusion about ripple getting involved with wallet applciations
• Rippex solved one important bug with sendMax, added the chart in th trading tab and made it available for the community - the code base is pratically unchanged
• Rippex made the wallet available because otherwise there would be no way for non technical users to store their keys offline or locally on their computers
• Rippex is not committed to developing or maintaining this wallet specifically - it was created as a community project
• Rippex was working on the translation of the wallet but realized that it would be wiser to start a new project - the work done on our translation page will be used in a new wallet application
• I have been using this wallet for years with only minor issues, online and offline

Yes we have a team working here on our projects
