Lemahieu stated that these items need to happen in sequence.
Lemaieu also mentioned the need for the source code to be peer reviewed. According to Lemaieu, “We definitely need peer and code reviews and we're open to anyone doing this. We have ideas for people in universities that want to analyze the whitepaper or code so we'll see what comes of that. In my opinion code security guarantees can only be given with (eyes * time) and we need both.”
Lemaheiu shared some information about the RaiBlocks team as well. Currently their are about 12 people working on the core team. About half of these are working on code and the other half are business developers. Bios are to come on the redesigned website. The new website should be ready sometime after the new year.
When asked about the differences between XRB and IOTA Lemaheiu stated,”It's flattering to be compared to IOTA, they have a very talented team building ambitious technology. When looking at design goals I think one thing we're not attempting to approach is transferring a data payload, we're only looking to be a transfer of value.
There are lots of ideas and technology to be developed in the cryptocurrency space and I want RaiBlocks to solve one section of that industry: the transfer of value. I think the best success would be if RaiBlocks was adopted as the global standard for this and crypto efforts could move to non-value-transfer use-cases.”
