Brief overview of Payment Sockets, which are an experimental protocol built on Interledger V4 (ILPv4) for opening bidirectional streams of money. They can be used for push payments, pull payments, invoices, gift cards, and streaming payments.

Presented during the Interledger Community Group call on February 21, 2018.

Payment Sockets are currently implemented in: https://github.com/emschwartz/ilp-protocol-paystream
