[Cryptography] Distributed Ledger Technology gets a high level review

[Thierry Moreau]

Fascinating read this morning:

www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/fsr-june-2017-chapman.pdf

This reports the findings of a DLT trial for the financial sector. 
Definitely geared towards wholesale payment systems (a world with its 
own culture), it nonetheless presents a well-informed assessment of DLT 
deployment challenges.

In my opinion, the main conclusion (DLT may not replace centralized 
wholesale payment operators) was to be expected since the reference used 
for comparison (i.e. Canada LVTS) is among the most advanced system.

Secondary conclusions are less damaging to the Distributed Ledger 
Technology deployment potential.
