This seems heavily related to "Optimal Account Balancing" from the other day: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=667088 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=667088 Edit: I would think that Ripple uses the math behind optimal account balancing to power itself.

You're right. Please note that both articles were submitted by me ;-) I have been interested in reputation systems for a few years, and now I am interested in combining debt and trust. It's a very difficult problem.

  Are you involved with Ripple?

    No. I am more interested in the mathematical description of the system than in actually implementing. To be honest, I don't think this problem is ripe for implementation yet.
