Wasn't Codius abandoned this last summer? What use to Ripple is a neutral protocol for payments on the Web if its smart contract system has been abandoned?

Creating a world where there are free and open payments is our mission statement. It's the reason we do anything. Smiley - It was also the reason I got into Bitcoin in the first place.

A neutral protocol for payments might work, but the W3C moves incredibly slowly when it makes or updates a standard. The crypto ecosystem evolves too quickly to wait for the W3C. A month in crypto is like a year in real time.

Yeah, that's why we got the process started early. But I agree that adoption has to happen in parallel.
