Why would a private ledger based on the Blockchain technology be more efficient and cost effective than Bitcoin? Bitcoin is more secure and it has a established global user base. The main focus of these private ledgers are to decrease the cost of transfers between banks. < not paying Swift > and to decentralize their security.
Bitcoin can already do both of these, and it has a proven track record. You did not need to dump Billions of dollars into research and development, because Bitcoin already had all the boxes ticked.
The only thing they did not have with Bitcoin was full control. This is the main reason why they developed their own technology. ^hmmmm^

i see that R3 joined hyperledger. there is no need for banks to be under the R3 group while also being part of hyperledger, when they can instead freely invest direct to hyperledger and not have the middleman(R3).. especially if R3 is making financial demands just to stay under the R3 banner. as for why the banks are investing in the hyperledger, firstly it costs them nothing. their millions of dollars are a tax right off, while then being able to on the side still use the funds even after having it wrote off as a loss. as for why banks are inventing the hyperledger. because unlike traditional DBMS(database management systems) and RDBMS(relational database management systems) blockchain adds extra layers, in essense an extra programmable layer to RDBMS to give them more freedoms of what they can do with their data that the old RDBMS could not. as for why not use bitcoin. banks want more control and choice to how their system works. afterall they are regulated to handle legal tender, so bitcoin has issues with that. as for why we should not be asking banks to use bitcoin. we dont wont/need banks to make bitcoin into fiat 2.0. bitcoin should remain independent and open. and not turned into the fiat controlled system that doesnt empower people openly without judgement.

Doesn't seem too long ago when I read about Santander adopting blockchain. Seems hasty to have jumped on and then off so quickly.
I also believe there are some individuals capitalising on blockchain hype and the relative ignorance/naivety of traditional financial institutions to pitch private blockchain to banks.
ICO dump scams here, private ledgers for the big boys.

Well when R3 joined hyperledger and several banks area also part of hyperledger, there is no need to be with R3 anymore I guess. And banks still like the idea of blockchain or distributed ledgers because they may improve their inner processes and operations with it.I'm speaking of increase of speed, cutting costs and circumvent other middle man. This is nothing the average bank customer may have any advantage from of course.For them I think Bitcoin and other open decentralized Blockchains secured and supported by many nodes and miners around the world will still be the main choice.

There are too few in the banking system that understood blockchain at all and even fewer the ones that have idea how to use it. And they are usually not the decision makers.
Some bankers heard that if they use blockchain (anyway, any blockchain) will give them an edge and they'll attract the young people (ha-ha!) so they made / joined their blockchain project. Bankers don't really have IT knowledge, they will need 3rd party to do this for them. Until they realize that and go for a sustainable project, there are only tests (and hype).

yes it would be funny if all my fears of blockstream were actually just blockstream baiting the banks with scammy ICO's. and then sometime see blockstream shout "thanks for all the fish, goodbye", and crumble hyperledger to the ground, to mess with banks. but im still hazarding that blockstream are going to hedge WITH the banks and make hyperledger into something and cripple bitcoin. but id love to see the opposite happen, where the banks lose out

However i think they will resist ever using bitcoin, or at least not until one of them makes the jump first to get 1st mover advantage, then i think you will see more jump to and those that refuse to will die. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

We can only work without banks, if we can release ourselves from the Fiat bindings. This will not happen soon, because Fiat currencies are still the preferred currency globally. So how do we address that problem? Imo we need to aggressively develop a " Bitcoin Only" killer APP to force people to adopt Bitcoin. Banks will always have the unfair advantage, because Fiat is accepted globally and Bitcoin is not there yet. Bitcoin will succeed once people use it without 3rd parties and as a pure P2P payment option. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Good. Something like this was never supposed to, and I guess by proxy, never was going to work anyways. It's a bad idea pushed forwards by people thinking they can make a lot of money by just making a ledger for banks to use to make it even easier for them to see where everyone's money goes.
It could never work without the addition of energy from the outside, and I'm glad to see it's all falling apart.

I cannot believe there were a lot of people who were cheering for R3 as a step forward for cryptocurrencies. They thought that R3 would complement their favorite altcoin making them go "to the moon". R3 has no real plan on how to take "blockchain technology", yes that is a buzz word someone created, in use for banks. First they pitched Ethereum to the banks, then the next pitch was Ripple then Hyperledger. Does anyone know what is really going on with R3? I believe they are lost. The years 2015 and 2016 have been the years of "B-L-O-C-K-C-H-A-I-N, not Bitcoin"-fad.

The realization will be how brilliant the Satoshi definition of a blockchain really is, and this will always include Proof of Work. We may have missed the point by trying to exclude PoW from blockchains because it wastes energy. But it may be the only concept that makes censorship resistant blockchains a possibility.

Here is the latest pullout http://www.coindesk.com/morgan-stanley-r3cev-blockchain-consortium/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CoinDesk+%28CoinDesk+-+The+Voice+of+Digital+Currency%29Now it is reported that Morgan Stanley is pulling out of the R3 banking consortium. They must be smelling that there is a scam in all of this. It will not be surprising to most Bitcoiners who has seen through the scam to know that the "technology" they have is nothing but garbage. I believe that they have given the code of their blockchain called Corda to the Hyperledger project. Many developers say that the Linux Foundation is the garbage bin of open source projects.

Well, it could be that they entered the R3 consortium because they did not want to be left out of the new Blockchain hype that was pitched to them, and when they realized that they could do this on their own, they then just pulled their support or they are planning to partner up with someone else. They could also have realized that there are many other options on the table, and that private permissioned ledgers are not the way of the future. ^smile^

Fixed. This is an important point ("POW wastes energy") going forward IMO, Bitcoin is bound to get attacked by the climate change nuts at some point. Can you see, from what you're saying above, that Bitcoin's POW literally isn't a waste of energy? Every bit of so-called "excess" hashing is in fact raising the bar for a malicious hashing attack trying to re-roll the Bitcoin blockchain?
