CMU Coin here we go!!! http://www.post-gazette.com/busines...sity-cmu-param-vir-singh/stories/201805180027 "The university is in the process of developing its own digital currency that would exist outside the traditional banking system — CMU Coin. It’s not only a foray into building out the tech powering cryptocurrencies, called blockchain, but it also will serve as a test bed for examining people’s interactions with the new-age payment method. Experts at CMU in economics, finance, accounting, consumer behavior and privacy are working to improve blockchain technology and policy surrounding crypto, said Param Vir Singh, an associate professor of business technologies at CMU’s Tepper School of Business."
About time! I went up the road to Rochester, and the two schools share a lot of engineering and economics blood -- just the sort of thing that would be in the middle of blockchain technology. Yeah, see: https://www.syracuse.com/state/index.ssf/2018/01/kodak_bitcoin_cryptocurrency_blockchain.html And any second, R.I.T. will have a news release. Love these guys. Aside from hockey and beer, them winters encourage a lot of this kind of thinking.....!
