This is very exciting if it pans out. An interchange layer for money that isn't controlled by the incumbent organizations could enable all sorts of interesting innovations. <3

Was wondering what was going to come following the post on Bitcoin as an IP layer. This is great stuff - looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Interesting, this looks like a fork of Ripple (and is by an original creator of Ripple).

The fact that this solves some of the problems of cryptocurrency, and the fact that Stripe is behind it, give me a very good feeling about this. To have the clout offered by Stripe while still being open source is very powerful, and I think it is what the cryptocurrency world has needed.
