Atomic Swaps, Cross Crypto P2P exchanges

[xrpaware]

Interesting Article on some things in SegWit from Bitcoin. Please note the URL really has two articles --- Note sure why the Article I'm referrencing didn't get it's own URL. Be sure to scroll down to  "SegWit, First Steps to Ecosystem". The author discusses Hash-Time Lock Contracts (HTLC) and Atomic Swaps. This sounds so much like ILP.

Thanks for fixing that @T8493 --- Not sure why I got the URL I did.

does annoy me a bit now we have all these diff protocols trying to do the same thing i.e. interledger, atom. swaps, polkadot, cosmos, etc

dammit work together!

Is there any technical documentation about these atomic swaps?

Something bothers me in this article.

The "problem" is that Ripple is not very well accepted in cryptospace, so it's hard to get developers working with them. But ILP is far ahead than all the others.

But I agree, create how many sh*tcoins you want, but please pick one interledgerswapcommon protocol. It would benefit everybody.

Atomic swaps, OMG i dont see the difference lol. Would be cool if ripple could move into the cryptocurrency space and control the flow of all currencys but lets tackle fiat first haha.
