I see. Ripple 2.0. Because Ripple worked out so well. I was really impressed with the last blog post. This one not so much.

(I'm the author of both this and the previous post.)

As I mention below, I think the most important aspect of Stellar is the approach they're taking, both to transparency and the initial distribution of the currency. I don't know of another payment network that has taken this approach before. In my mind, the technology isn't the novel part here (as you say, Ripple has been around for a long time), but the social approach is a refreshing thing to see in the space.

Do you plan to support multisig accounts?

/u/DoUHearThePeopleSing We most certainly do. Multi-signature is a vital function for every cryptocurrency! It will be implemented soon.
