Graph of Ripplepay users

[Ryan Fugger]

I've been working with the graphviz graph visualization tool and I
took some time to create a graph of all Ripplepay users and their
connections, using numerical database IDs for privacy. Here it is if
anyone's interested.

Cool :)

I enjoyed looking at all the different shapes. Reminded me of different molecules and stuff. :P

I'm guessing that number 3 is you Ryan? ;)

But then surely you'd be number 1?

Smiles,

Josef.

I know it's wrong and all, but I wanted names.

Thomas,

Although I think you are kidding here... how does Ripple support
privacy of transactions and account information?

You only get to see entries on your own accounts, not other people's.

My question is, if anyone can run a ripple server whats stopping
someone from starting a server and logging transactions? For instance
there is something called Tor Onion Routing protocol, which is a web
proxy but routes it through several nodes dynamically. One of the
problems with Tor is that people set up nodes and actually spy on
peoples traffic this way. Couldnt such a scenario arise with Ripple?
How much information do I have about the end user from any given point
in the network, ie as someone who runs a ripple server?

thanks, jmz

Payer-recipient traffic doesn't pass through intermediaries.

[William Waites]

Are you using networkx? If not it might be worth looking at -- it
is a python package that will do various graph theory operations and
calculations. It is pretty flexible about what it accepts as nodes
so it should be easy to use with the ripple code. It also simplifies
and automates rendering with graphviz.

Do payment-recipient transfers first query intermediaries before
negotiating the payment route and/or transaction fees?

I suggest you read the documentation at http://ripplep2p.com/wiki

Very interesting!
Ryan, what about sharing the file (I guess .dot file) with the
information about users and their connections so that other can
produce other visualization?

Good idea. I've attached the .dot file, for use with the graphviz tools.
