How Can We Send Money Directly
The Idea To Send Money Directly From One Person To Another

As I've mentioned in previous articles, the idea of an "electronic coin" has been around for some time. The concept was first introduced by Charles Stross in his novel Accelerando (1999). In this novel, he describes a system called "Ether" which allows people to send money instantly from one person to another. This system uses a network of computers that are connected together and share information. One of the characters in the book refers to it as "the internet of money".
In the years since the publication of this novel, several other writers have used similar ideas to describe systems where money is sent directly between two people via the Internet. In the past few years, however, there have been some developments that have made this technology more viable than ever before.
First of all, the price of computer hardware has dropped dramatically over the past few years. It is now possible to build a computer that is much cheaper than the equivalent of a few hundred dollars ten years ago. The price of RAM has also fallen dramatically over the past decade, allowing computers to store much larger amounts of data than ever before.
Secondly, the growth of the Internet has allowed us to create much more efficient networks than we had previously been able to do. In the early days of the Internet, the best you could hope for was a dialup connection that was painfully slow. Today, the Internet is fast enough to allow many thousands of people to be connected at once. In addition, the Internet is now capable of supporting many more connections than it did just a few years ago.
Thirdly, we have seen the development of the Web 2.0 movement, which has allowed users to build websites that are much more interactive than they were previously. For example, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter allow people to share pictures and messages with each other in a way that was never possible before.
The combination of these three factors means that it is now possible to build a system where money can be transferred directly from one person to another using the Internet. The first system of this type was developed by a company called Ripple Labs. They built a system that allows people to send money to each other without the need for any middlemen.
The system works in the following way:
1. A user will log into their account at Ripple's website and transfer a certain amount of money from their account to the account of someone else.
2. When the recipient of the money transfers it back to the sender.
3. The sender then has to wait for a certain amount of time, which is usually 24 hours.
4. If the recipient does not return the money within the required time, it will be lost forever.
The fact that the money is held by Ripple means that it is impossible for anyone to lose their money. However, if the recipient of the money does not return it within the required time, the money will be lost forever. This is a significant disadvantage, because it means that there is no guarantee that the recipient will return the money when they receive it.
There are a number of advantages to this system. The first is that the system is completely decentralized. This means that there is no central authority that can be attacked or shut down. The second advantage is that the system is open-source, meaning that anyone can use it to send money directly to each other.
However, there are also some disadvantages. One of the main problems is that the system relies on trust. The person who sends the money must trust the recipient that they will return the money when they get it. If the recipient doesn't return the money, there is no way for the sender to get their money back.
Another problem is that the system is not anonymous. There is a very small chance that the recipient will be able to trace the sender back to their identity. This means that the system cannot be used to send large amounts of money without risking the safety of the sender.
Although the system works well in theory, there are still many questions about how it will work in practice. The main concern is whether the system will be able to handle the volume of traffic that it is likely to receive.
The Ripple Labs system was only released recently, so it is difficult to say whether it will be able to handle the huge volume of traffic that is likely to come its way. If it proves unable to handle the traffic, it may be necessary to change the system.
