brianwalden Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The price of XRP is great, but I'm much more interested in a decentralized network for moving value that hamstrings all of today's rent-seeking middle men. Think of all the interesting things that could grow up from such a network. Eik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps. did you see this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianwalden Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's my understanding that we're not yet at the point where there's real world ILP use? Is that right? One of the ironies of the crypto world is that it's hard to move money in and out. ILP could crack that nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have demos so I assume they are amping up for something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Hantzen Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think gatehub may use it internally for some things, certainly at the very least they are developing ILP functionality very much into their system. Some of the demos the ILP developers have been doing send real funds on live networks - eg, today they traversed 7 different ledgers with live funds, which was kind of insane - but it worked, and shows the potential. Otherwise it's essentially at the alpha stage (a lot further along then competitors). One thing the devs do on a practical level at the moment, is sorting out lunch payments. They will go out for lunch together (and talk ILP the whole time, these guys *never* rest), and at the end one person will pay the bill. Later, they each settle their part portion of the bill with the person who paid, on the live ILP network. Obviously, this is a small and trivial use-case - but it allows them to experiment daily with real funds on the network as they develop, so it's practical and beneficial in that sense.

Lando Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Early adopters will benefit from utilising ILP as part of existing or new solutions. Exchanges and gateways especially. Can't wait to see the real commercial initiatives being deployed. It's really a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
