最近因为要写文章，想到了Ripple上陌生人之间的转账问题（非Ripple币XRP，认识不认识都可转XRP，不受此限制）。之前对此了解还不够深入，被问到几个问题后风中凌乱。为此我重新查看了Ripple的Wiki，发现其关于Trust的介绍主要是以下两段：Trust relationships are necessary in order to exchange any currency other than XRP. Ripple keeps track of the trust you've granted friends and businesses.Extend any amount of trust in any currency within your Ripple account. Your trusted accounts can send you an IOU no larger than the amount of trust extended to them. You can send money between a chain of friends. We call this chain of trust a ripple path.You should negotiate the terms of settlement. For example, you could tell your friend they need to settle up immediately on demand.
It is also possible to hold IOUs in any currency, and easily send this money to anyone you're connected to by a ripple path. In general, if you have an account with a Gateway you'll be able to send funds to anyone else who has an account with a Gateway.
