Ripple consensus.

  Which isn't all that decentralized. The only nodes that participate in the consensus are a handful of "trusted" nodes run by - well, in this case I don't think we know yet, but the Stellar foundation gets to pick who can run them. Those nodes get to decide which transactions are accepted, what fees are charged, the money creation policies, etc.

  So it's not actually decentralized to any meaningful degree? Awesome.

    It is distributed, not decentralized...
