Title: [2015-12-17] CD: IBM Creates Open-Source Blockchain With Linux and Big Banks Post by: LiteCoinGuy on December 17, 2015, 07:40:09 AM IBM Creates Open-Source Blockchain With Linux and Big Banks
Tech giant IBM has launched an open-source blockchain along with the support of financial incumbents including JP Morgan, the London Stock Exchange and Wells Fargo as well as tech specialists such as Cisco and Intel. http://www.coindesk.com/ibm-launches-open-source-blockchain-project-backed-by-linux-and-big-banks/ Competition in the "permissioned" blockchain space. :P Title: Re: [2015-12-17] CD: IBM Creates Open-Source Blockchain With Linux and Big Banks Post by: Falmant on December 17, 2015, 11:34:24 AM There is no detail in the report about the open-source blockchain. I wonder if there is much difference from bitcoin blockchain.

I don't think centralized decentralization will catch on, but you never know until you try, and the GovBankCorp players don't really have a lot of choices at this point. The same CD issue had another similar story about a centralized blockchain from a Big Name bank consortium. They're certainly a long way from ignoring BTC-world now and, looking back, it all happened pretty quickly. Mate in nine. ;) |
