This email is going out to all who have expressed interest in the Ripple decentralized currency project (http://ripple.sf.net/). I hope you are all doing well. Since I got bogged down trying to define a protocol for communication between hosts in a Ripple peer network, it seemed like a good idea to go back and start with a simpler single-host prototype. The other developer on the project is two-thirds done the initial coding in Python using the Django framework. We will be developing the initial single-host version of Ripple as proprietary software -- we don't want to allow multiple Ripple hosts that can't talk to each other. The fully decentralized multi-host protocol and software, if and when it is necessary, would be appropriately free and open. Our goal in either case is to build and administer a commercially viable Ripple payment service. Anyone wishing to put some energy (or money) into the project for a share of the venture, please let me know. Thanks for all your help, Ryan ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Mark Baker.
