Consider picking a different name; Ripple is already used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. When I think of Ripple I think of the payment protocol and I'm not even that tech savvy.

Hello colmvp,

Yes, there are a couple of products out there with the name Ripple, but I don't think the vast majority of people know any of them, including this.

If this does turn out to be a problem, I'll rename in a heartbeat!

I've never heard of a product/protocol/whatever named Ripple, which might not mean much due to the fact that I am a random internet person. By all means stick with it, sounds like the name definitely applies to the product.
