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. Th…

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 …

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

Oh I think it was misunderstood. The full quote is: "Byzantine agreement guarantees distributed consensus despite the Byzantine failure of participants. However, it requires unanim…

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 …

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