  Nice 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.

  Joyce 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.

  Does 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?
