If I have a good understanding of how the bitcoin protocol works, and is well versed in cryptography, does anyone have a tip on what to read to understand about the Stellar protocol?
Just some quick Googling on my phone led me down cryptobro low quality content, unsurprisingly.
EDIT: And also, this implementation looks really neat, congrats! It made me excited about crypto currency again!
David Mazières (designer of the protocol) has given a number of talks. Here's a good video of his talk at Google, and I believe it's the one I watched a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmwnhZmEZjc

For an amusing walkthrough, I'd recommend https://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/08/05/harry-potter-and-the-cr...
Bob Glickstein wrote a really phenomenal writeup https://medium.com/interstellar/understanding-the-stellar-co...
This video does a good job explaining the stellar consensus protocol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Gj2nQZCNM
