Popular Post TPM Posted January 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) It looks like GATEHUB has plans to help Ripple improve XRP ACCESS and LIQUIDITY! GateHub 2016: A Year in Review Interledger In July we successfully completed world’s first payment from GateHub to Bitstamp using Interledger. A Look Forward In 2017 we will be busy onboarding new gateways that will bring more assets and funding methods to the Ripple Consensus Ledger (RCL). Our Wallet will receive many useful features including a sleek and easy to use Mobile App for Android and iOS. Did we mentioned the App comes with a debit card? Maybe the most exciting feature this year is full Interledger support, coming in Q1 2017. Our gateways will be among the first ILP-enabled services and you as our customer will be able to experience this groundbreaking technology hands-on using GateHub Wallet.

How will they establish interoperability with other entities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xi195 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 @enej Will the debit card spend XRP using ILP, or will it only spend USD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works correctly it should convert currency on the fly, depending on what country you are in. Would be handy for travellers. I hope this is how it works.

Would be handy for travellers. I hope this is how it works. As @Morty said, you'll be able to spend any currency. I should note that ILP and cards will only work with hosted wallets until RCL fully supports ILP as well. Even then the general public will probably be better off using hosted wallets - except if they are advanced users and they know what they're doing. To put things in perspective, we believe ILP and hosted wallets will become a replacement for bank accounts (again bank accounts, not banks) and PayPal's of the world while RCL will be used by Liquidity Providers (connectors to use ILP terminology) to settle funds faster than using wire transfers. The question is how open the ILP enabled institutions will be to supporting 3rd party connectors. This is why we are working hard to create a network(s) of gateways that will be using the same transaction protocols (ILP) and identity standard (Global iD). Both are needed if we want this to work between institutions that don't directly trust each other. And of course to keep regulators happy ...

Someday in the future (definitely not in 2017) when both user's and the merchant's accounts (or wallets) support ILP, we might simply bypass Visa's/Mastercard's network and send TX off the rails (or inter-rails) via ILP. If not debit card will simply fallback to Visa's or Mastercard's network. This will take some time however because we'll need to have smart enough mobile wallets, merchant solutions (terminals) and ledgers that all supports ILP and GiD (Global iD).

That is true, but now with current ILP nodes, you can send around IOUs to between trust nodes. But there is no RCL yet. However, It is okay to start with own trust nodes.
