This social experiment has ended - here was the goals:
1) teach people that Ripple BTCs are not real BTCs
2) teach people that your BTC.* can be substituted for anything you trust, automatically
There was also mass invasion of ripple.com/forum posters. It's not too hard to figure out who they are. Keep this in mind:
1) I have not profited at all from this.
2) Anyone who lost BTC.* had their BTCs exchanged by other people.
3) Anyone who I sent a BTC to could have redeemed someone else's Bitstamp or whatever IOU.
