Thanks everyone! Was great to do my first live stream for the XRP community. A few technical hitches, the live chat didn't show up properly, but next week should have the bug ironed out, and on the proper channel.https://twitter.com/Nick84883905/status/1021501129383927808 …

I'm quite ignorant to ripple (haven't done much research), but how many nodes out of 200 (in terms of probability) have to be honest for algorithm to work? I guess main objective to XRP is about incentives, validators should be in conflict of interest to make pacts.

you select a subset of that 200, so say, 18. Of that 18, you need 80% agreement to reach quorum on txn ordering. As I tried to explain, dishonest nodes are easily detected and can then be ignored. There is no (financial) incentives to run a validator

So what prevent someone from launching 2000 validtor nodes and increasing the odds of having majority?

Because the subset you select, you select manually, and you select 'known good' validators from trusted parties. Note, you don't have to trust each 3rd party, only that they would not collude with other 3rd parties to defraud you.

e.g. if your validators set included validators run by Apple, Microsoft, the Linux Foundation, Wikipedia, MIT then you don't necessarily need to trust each individually, but just trust that they are unlikely to convince the others to collude with them.
