Early Ripple Concept: Money as IOUs in Social Trust Networks

[Trish F]

Hi there,

I am researching Ryan's early paper, 'Money as IOUs in Social Trust Networks & A Proposal for a Decentralized Currency Network Protocol', and am trying to find 'the longer, significantly different first version' of the document as mentioned on the last page.

If anyone has it, please let me know. 

Many thanks

Trish

I found it in an archive and uploaded it here:

Not sure why I got rid of it. It might be clear once you read it...? :)
