Ripplepay is a single-server implementation of the Ripple decentralized payment concept. There's no distributed implementation yet. Designs for a distributed protocol are here: http://ripple-project.org/Protocol/IndexRyan Interesting...I had a hard time understanding the concepts...but nevertheless interesting. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I support the notion of having replays or uploaded it so I can watch it after school!

Funny how I never ran into this system while I was living in New York!
Do you know of any similar initiatives or companies providing this service in Latin America?? I'm talking specifically about the POS system. Could be a great service to provide the customers!

Yeah, what's going on with this? It seems to be the best way to get retailers to use bitcoins (account hubs)

I would also love to see this, though I am not sure about the proprietary app part.

I am in tight with a community supported cafe/community center here in Portland, OR. I could probably get them on board, even if its only me who uses BTC at first. I help with their accounting, business planning, etc, and spend about $25 a week at the cafe, so I could probably convince them . Keep me posted! Hey, I live in Portland! Where is this cafe? Have they set up a POS kiosk yet? |

There's no distributed implementation of ripple. But you don't need a complete for two AH to trust each other. They just have to be legally liable between them. Note that they don't need to be directly liable, a web of trust can be used. For example, Payer has an account with AH1 and seller with AH2. At the moment of the payment a message is sent to AH2 with the form: Do you trust AH1? If it's not in the AH2 list of trusted AH, he can ask the same question to the AH in his list and they (before answering) can ask other AHs too. There's only the need for a path of trust from AH2 to AH1. You can read an interesting document about the problems for distributing ripple here: https://groups.google.com/group/rippleusers/browse_thread/thread/acb472ad92e77d2c?hl=esThere's debate in ripple about how to adapt bitcoin technology to implement a distributed ripple. If it's done, maybe the time for ripple transaction verification doesn't fit with your protocol. Ryan has also an idea for real-time confirmation here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4382.msg64109#msg64109I don't know if its feasible. |

Hey Bruce,
is there any news on this? I remember everyone being very excited about this in January.
Did this die? Why did this die?
Best,

I was going to ask it today, after reading that bitcoin central is now open source and allows instant payments between accounts. Just remembered the Account Hub. I think is a crucial project for bitcoin acceptance. |
