How is this affecting people?
- ryantmorris 6y agoMy bank's wire room has ground to a halt.
- kuinak 6y agoThis prevents ACH and wire transfers from being processed.
- ivraatiems 6y agoIs there a single point of failure here? That's crazy, if so. Why is this the case? I know the Fed is responsible for resolving transactions between banks, but one would expect they'd have a very very broad and resilient system.
- ilaksh 6y agoSee the response to my comment below. My impression is that the best solution is actually a high-thoroughput cryptocurrency for settlement. But cryptocurrencies are philosophically opposed to central control. And authorities are generally behind the times when it comes to technology. But it boils down to outdated technology based on "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
