Multisig and Simple Contracts on Stellar
- joyce 11y agoJoyce from Stellar.org here! We are also putting together another presentation on off-validator storage in XDR within Stellar-Core that was briefly mentioned in the post. Graydon is working on it now.
- gricardo99 11y agoDoes this mean the stellar codebase is no longer a fork of ripple? How much of the stellar codebase is descendant directly from the ripple codebase?
- swamp12 11y agoYes it is a completely new codebase. No code is shared between them in either the core or the libraries.
- Phlarp 11y agoNice to see someone able to move the ball forward with distributed consensus systems-- The bitcoin community as a whole has been stuck in the mud for far too long at this point. Sadly, I still can't shake the subtle feeling that something greasy is still going on here-- The sins of Ripple continue to haunt us all I guess.
- notliketherest 11y agothe proof is in the pudding
- kordless 11y agoActually, proof is in time, consistency and consensus.
- wrsh07 11y agoWhat are the sins of Ripple? I tried googling but only saw some mentions of "problems with the existing consensus algorithm" which seem to have been remedied with Stellar's 2015 April whitepaper.
- Phlarp 11y agoIt was a "consensus algorithm" in name only-- any conflict in consensus was "solved" by a central or semi-central control structure. It was also "pre-mined" in that all the ripples already existed and had been magically bestowed upon a few anointed individuals. In addition to these shortfalls at an architectural level, the folks who seemed to be both in control of the centralized authority and sitting on top of all the premined ripples had well documented histories of shady behavior.
