Jed McCaleb Talks Stellar's New Protocol for Consensus

[Coinbuddy]

The Stellar Foundation has released details about the new consensus protocol it hopes to deploy on the Stellar network as early as this summer.

Founded on a concept called federated Byzantine agreement, the Stellar Consensus Protocol is intended to replace Stellar's existing consensus protocol, itself is based on the system used by competitor Ripple Labs. The Stellar team said in December that it was working to replace its existing protocol following network issues last September.

Whenever someone talks about Jed, I get tempted to share this story...

THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPPINION - nothing else.

Jed is a crack/pot head that thinks he can make money just like he did with Ripple. - (what happened to all that cash btw?)
Ripple was shit to begin with.

So he locked him self up in a room doing (f*ck knows what... crack, pot, whatever) the new thing called stellar which is the same as Ripple.

Jed, no CRipple or CRapple or Stellar or whatever will get you out of that state of mind.....

Deal with it.

BTW: why did you require your users to identify themselves with their facebook account - which should HAVE BEEN active?

Crypto is to keep things to your self (as if in private Jed - not to YOURSELF - as in to you as Jed).

Piece of shit currencies you have created.....
(I refuse to call them crypto-currencies because: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography)

How exactly thi is bitcoin news? it is more like altcoin news as far as I can see. Jed McCaleb is not a visionary like Satoshi was, Jed is a businessman, who will do only something if that benefit him directly. And he would profit from it. Ripple is the prime example of that philosophy.
