Tehol_Beddict Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I don’t remember seeing a lot of these, though I haven’t checked InterledgerJS on GitHub in a while. Could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing some of these outside of interledgerJS while they were being developed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhentheBoat_ComesIn Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I am not technical so don’t really understand the significance or your post. On behalf of all non technical members of the forum could I ask someone to explain its’ significance. My best guess is that more plugins = closer to actual usage. Don’t know if referencing this means anything but I did like this one; - SPSP (Simple Payment Setup Protocol) client for ILPv4 as I thought it may relate to significant xrp usage. Thoughts, anyone?

Tehol_Beddict Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Sorry for the lack of an explanation. The interledger protocol is a protocol, meaning it’s not an actual implementation. Think of interledger as the internet of payments made up of a clients (like a browser, used for sending payments over interledger), connectors (like DNS Servers that route packets of information over the internet, ILP connectors forward and route payment packets over the internet of value), and plugins (just as the internet connects you to servers that operate web applications/host websites, interledger plugs you into ledgers of banks/wallets/blockchains that actually settle the payments and record the transactions). The ILP-plugin-Stripe lets ILP plug into a stripe account to settle payments. ILP-plugin-chain connects ILP to the Chain ledger. ILP-plugin-XRP-Paychan connects ILP to XRP Payments channels etc.... There’s more that’s interesting like moneyd-xrp - “This repo contains an experimental ILP provider, allowing all applications on your computer to use funds on the live ILP network.” xp3215233 and KarmaCoverage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's derived from a method of programming or writing code called object oriented programming. You create software by building blocks one piece at a time and fit them in together and makes it easier to reuse them in different applications.
