This video illustrates the goals and functionality of Ripple. It can also be used with the "What is Bitcoin" video (http://www.weusecoins.com/).

Congratulations to Nitin on a job very well done, and many thanks to all contributors. Enjoy!

Interesting.  I believe I was just reading something about this like a minute ago from http://groups.google.com/group/rippleusers/, which was linked from something from reddit, just me hopping around and now bam this thread.  Kismet.   Guess I am now forced to look a little further into this.

Edit: The threads I were reading were from 2009, all interesting history alongside Bitcoin going on.

Is someone implementing the Ripple protocol for Bitcoin? That would be shiny.

The Ripple protocol can be seen as operating at a different level than Bitcoin, although one which is very compatible, and the two can even take inspiration from each other. There's been discussion on this topic both in these forums and in the Ripple users group.

Bitcoin works best in an inflationary environment and Ripple in a deflationary one. Serial credit lines denominated in Bitcoin would balance out both systems while keeping them distributed.
