Or link to a critique? https://wiki.ripple.com/Consensus#More_Details https://wiki.ripple.com/Consensus#More_Details https://ripple.com/wiki/Unique_Node_List https://ripple.com/wiki/Unique_Node_List Something like ".... ripple consensus is local, the cost to join is zero, membership is defined by who trusts you.." but I'm forgetting the exact link where this is fleshed out.
- socrates1024 12y agoMy opinion is the Ripple consensus algorithm doesn't yet meet the security claims its stated to in their whitepaper. There's an ongoing discussion here: https://forum.ripple.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7801#p56432 https://forum.ripple.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7801#p56432
