they are part of the hyperledger group who are working with blockstream. OP's link: Quote Earlier this year, the Fed held discussions with software giant IBM about launching its own digital currency. And in March, Jack Henry, a leading US payments solution group, partnered with The Clearing House to look into developing a faster payments system for the US. then we have: http://www.coindesk.com/blockstream-10-new-firms-hyperledger-blockchain-project/ Quote published March 29th Bitcoin development startup Blockstream is among 10 new companies that have joined the open-source Hyperledger blockchain project led by the Linux Foundation. More recently, the technical steering committee came close to officially approving a plan to merge code contributed by Blockstream, Digital Asset and IBM.

Maybe they will be like the Ethereum Foundation, move fast and break things.
I like Bitcoin, move slowly and get it right ;) Title: Re: The Federal Reserve wants to speed up blockchain implementation Post by: pereira4 on October 14, 2016, 12:37:02 PM Cool, the faster blockchain stuff is pushed in the mainstream the more Bitcoin will get mentioned in there as well as a side effect since it's impossible to talk about blockchain technology without mentioning Bitcoin and not looking like an idiot.
