Yes, yes, they now admit it because they got caught. That doesn't change the way they presented it when it was launched.

Joyce from Stellar here. We have not changed any content from our launch post since it was published for launch. Please feel free to read over our post here. Also adding Stripe's if anyone missed both announcements a month ago. (Side note: Stellar is 1 month old today!)

Thanks!

Hi Joyce, what I'm really interested in are the details you promised in that first blog post:

  We’ll be releasing a paper soon
  documenting and exploring a
  provably-correct version of this
  algorithm.

When should we expect this paper about Stellar's consensus model to be made available?

Thanks.

Here is an explanation of Ripple consensus which was forked by Stellar: http://dev.ripple.com/consensus-whitepaper.html

You have just fabricated this, they were open about it at launch.
