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
