RE: Ripple Names launched

Other providers doing this with Bitcoin are OneName and Bitcoin Wallet. Just to throw out some more options... Bitcoin Wallet is actually pretty cool; it's a very transparent platform as well with graphs and charts about the usage for any user to check out.

https://bitcoinwallet.com/ This was also one of the domain names that sold for uh... a lot of money... a couple hundred thousand dollars or something I think. Just FYI... ;)

Ripple names allow you to use identifiers like "~MyName" to identify
yourself on the financial network. Now people can just send payment to
~MyName rather than an address like rpvfJ4mR6QQAeogpXEKnuyGBx8mYCSnYZi.
