I didn't know where to put this so I chose the altcoins subforum because I expect to find the most open-minded people here

I'm intrigued by ripple. There's a lot of info out there and a beta client (web-base javascript).

Here are some links:

• http://ripple.com: main site, has links to wiki, forum. You can make a wallet there
• Is Ripple a Bitcoin Killer or Complementer? Founder of Mt Gox will launch Ripple
• Ripple giveaway (I received 50,000 XRP already)
• Ripple gateway
• irc channel #ripple on freenode

There's a built-in exchange. I added bitstamp (supposedly) to my contacts: rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B and now I can see an orderbook on the XRP/USD pair. I'd love to try it, but the best ask is 8,333.33333 XRP/USD. I think that's too high.

I only have XRP in my account currently.

I would like to find out wether I can issue some EUR or BTC myself and have people trust me with it. I'm really unclear how that would work. Any info?

So anyone want to post his contact info here so I can add some people to my contacts?
