BobWay Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) I'm presuming that a lot of the people in the study group have a solid understanding of XRP and Ripple the company. But I ran across some great background articles by @Hodor That I'd recommend everyone give a read if you haven't seen them before. https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/09/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-1-2011-2013/ https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-2-2014-2016/ https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-3-2017/ I don't plan on discussing the timeline in detail in the group. But you will hear me referring back to Ripple's history from time to time. I also found the below infographic reasonably consistent with my experience. https://www.bankingtech.com/2018/01/infographic-history-of-ripple-coin/ If you haven't run across the original "classic ripple pay" site, I encourage you to watch the short video there. https://classic.ripplepay.com Edited May 7, 2019 by BobWay Changed the links to Hodor's blog.

BobWay Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Many of the most confusing things about Ripple and XRP are related to poorly chosen names. I'm sure most people are familiar with this infographic that Ripple published. But it is important to realize that the above names are just the most recent choices. Prior to this, the company and products have been called many different things. Some of are detailed in links referenced above, but many are not. It is nearly impossible to talk about the subject and why people are confused without referencing prior names and how they have changed.

However, those are the "republished versions" on the Ghost platform (the XRP Community Blog). The original platform where I published those particular blogs was my WordPress site, which is still operational. The formatting is much better on the original site, so please read these instead: https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/09/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-1-2011-2013/ https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-2-2014-2016/ https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/a-history-of-xrp-ripple-part-3-2017/ Edited May 8, 2019 by Hodor Keojimal, SamIam, IK26 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 @BobWay I hope you're doing well. Is there any chance we can get some more reading material while we wait for the class to start? Even if it's just a thread you remember from an old forum which contained constructive conversation relating to something you are planning to teach.

SquaryBone Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I didn't had a lot of time when you launched this initiative. However I should be able to join your study group now if that would be ok with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
