Oddbean new post about login | logout I’m confused about something. You couldn’t have been discussing Ripple, the altcoin, in 2009 could you?? I thought that was created in 2016 or something.
I remember xrp in 2014, I think (but not 100% certain) I remember reading about it in 2013 and thinking it's a terrible idea and the company sucked

Fugger lol
this came up when Mike Hearn shared his satoshi e-mails too! The Ripple that is being referred to here is far removed from the shitcoin that we know today, it refers to a sourceforge webpage from 2006. i did some digging here's an archive of it: https://web.archive.org/web/20050205061236/http://ripple.sourceforge.net/ reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2080206.msg20794050#msg20794050
