Given that stellar/lumen is a fork of ripple/xrp, and ripple/xrp seem to have a massive head start with what 100+? bank and payment providers already on board - are stellar/lumen not just competing head to head with Ripple with essentially the same technology but with a handicap of being behind in terms of development and not having an in-use production network and settlement solution?
- arianvanp 9y agoIs the current code still a fork? I thought stellar switched to their own thing quite early alreaxy
- nullstyle 9y agoYeah, it hasn't been a fork for a long time. Disclosure: I work for stellar and took part in the big rewrite.
- bpicolo 9y agoMy understanding is that no banks are on board for the XRP bit of Ripple yet, but instead Ripple's non-xrp tech https://ripple.com/solutions/process-payments/ https://ripple.com/solutions/process-payments/
