Stellar is interesting, but I fail to see how, outside of its transaction rate, it is superior to Ethereum. Not being Turing complete is a strange bragging point - but then I’m not sure HNs position on smart contracts. Personally I’d take Turing completeness and a lack of tools today over a limited language for posterity.
There are a handful of different tactics in the works to speed up and scale ethereums transactions (were already at 500x smaller fees than BTC). ETH/Viper (a new language for contracts) and ETH/Casper (a method for increasing the transaction rate) together should leave Stellar in the dust. That said I have tremendous respect for Stripe so... we’ll see!
