The Stellar network did fork when we running on a fork of legacy software. Since then, we have rebuilt the entire consensus system using a completely different consensus system. The underlying consensus system was designed by Prof. David M

This is an example of an approach to smart contracts that uses the Stellar model which keeps the bulk of the logic outside of the system so only people that are interested need do any processing. This should make it more scalable. I haven&#

Yes it is a completely new codebase. No code is shared between them in either the core or the libraries.

Yes a node in the Stellar network doesn't need to know all the other nodes in the whole network and adding and removing nodes is a fluid and open process but yes there must be some transitive overlap in the quorum slices people choose.

Oh I think it was misunderstood. The full quote is: "Byzantine agreement guarantees distributed consensus despite the Byzantine failure of participants. However, it requires unanimous agreement on system membership by all participants.

We have been heads down for the past several months working on the new network that is much more scale-able, has a provably correct consensus mechanism and a much more flexible modular design. It has cool features like multi-sig and attachi

(Jed from stellar here) The fork you are describing occurred in the previous protocol when all the nodes had the same UNL; the failure had everything to do with that previous protocol's response to overloading (it diverges based on tim

It is a complication left over from ripple. It will most likely be turned off by default.

Well you can turn the feature off if you want. You can also set the "quality" of a given issuer. This means that you could apply a discount to the mtgox credit so it would swap out at a discount. But really it will probably just b

Sorry that wasn't clear. What she means is the amount given to each person. We are still and always will be committed to giving away the total 95B stellars. I just edited her post to clarify what we were trying to say.

Weird. I'm one of the Stellar devs -- could you email your stellar username to jed@stellar.org? Thanks!
