A very munchkin-esque project. It appears to need a bootstrap though;
the last thing I need is another social network to maintain.

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
