In 2012, while Schwartz and Britto wrote code, veteran tech executive Chris Larsen, who previously worked at Prosper Loans, joined Ripple as its first chief executive. The blockchain specialist's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz turned to Twitter to celebrate: "This is awesome news. The computer system of claim 58, wherein each computer means within the computer system is a personal type computer. Like a lot of banks, we have to place different bets in different areas, says Santander managing director John Whelan. A distributed computer system is a network of computers each of which function independently of but in a cooperative manner with each other. 11. The computer system of claim 19, wherein each computer within the low level computer means is coupled to at least one other computer within the low level computer means through two second link means whereby the low level computer means forms a ring of computers. He is one of the chief architects of the XRP Ledger, but a patent filing in 1988 shows he had a similar vision for a decentralized network before there was anything called a blockchain. Today, the Ripple network is so renowned that Colombia considered using it for its national land registry under the previous government administration. Schwartz exposes how many XRP he owns and what his relationship to Bitcoin and Ethereum looks like. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the number of first link means and the number of second link means associated with each computer of said low level computer means are unequal. A multilevel computer system including high level computing means and low level computing means, comprising: said high level computer means including at least one computer and operable for receiving a task, for distributing one or more portions of the task to said low level computer means for processing based on the availability, as determined by said high level computer means, of the low level computer means to process said one or more portions of the task, and for processing, if currently available, all undistributed portions of the task; said low level computer means including at least two computers and operable for receiving an additional task, for processing, if currently available, portions of the additional task, for distributing for processing those portions of the unprocessed additional task to high level computer means based on the availability, as determined by said low level computer means, of the high level computer means to process one or more portions of the unprocessed additional task, and for processing portions of the task received from said high level computer means; and. The C link of each computer 100 is used to communicate/transfer information to or receive information from another computer 100 which is on a higher level of the system. 24.

All the transactions recorded on the XRP blockchain are confirmed using a consensus system comprising groups of validators that analyze the network's transactions. A computer system in which portions of a task are performed by a number of different processors is commonly referred to as distributed processing. A multilevel computer system including high level computing means and low level computing means, comprising: communications link means for transferring portions of a task within the computer system, said communications link means including first link means and second link means; said high level computer means including at least one computer means and operable for receiving the task, for distributing for processing portions of the task to said low level computer means based on the availability, as determined by said high level computer means, of said low level computer means to process one or more portions of the task, said availability being previously communicated to said high level computer means along said first link means of said communication link means and for processing, if currently available, all undistributed portions of the task; said low level computer means including at least two computer means and operable for processing received portions of the task from the high level computer means, one of said at least two computer means operable for receiving an additional task and for processing, if currently available, portions of the additional task; said high level computer means also operable for receiving from one of said at least two computer means of said low level computer means portions of the unprocessed additional task and for distributing, for processing those portions of the unprocessed additional task to the other of said at least two computer means for processing by the latter based on the availability of the other of said at least two computer means to process one or more portions of the unprocessed additional task, said availability of the other of said at least two computer means being previously communicated to said high level computer means from the other of said at least two computer means along said first link means and, if available, processing of those portions of the unprocessed additional task undistributed to said other of said at least two computer means; said communications link means also for communicating to said high level computer means along said first link means from said low level computer means the current availability of said low level computer means to process one or more portions of the task and for communicating to said high level computer along said first link means from the other of said at least two computer means the current availability of the other of said at least two computer means to process one or more portions of the unprocessed additional task, said first link means coupling said at least one computer means of said high level computer means to said at least two computer means of said low level computer means, each of said second link means coupling said at least two computer means of said low level computer means together; wherein the number of first link means and the number of second link means coupled to one of the at least two computer means of said low level computer means are unequal. ;ASSIGNOR:SCHWARTZ, DAVID J.;REEL/FRAME:004938/0770, RWE-DEA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT FUR MINERALOEL UND CHEM, CHANGE OF NAME;ASSIGNOR:DEUTSCHE TEXACO
