oh .. a ripple guy .. not sure how that will work out ..  gonna check out the mailing list .. (putting it on my list)
You could reach out to them aswell and give them a quick pitch about bitshares if you find the time

Yeah he's the head of the taskforce. I believe this isn't about BitShares, they're just trying to get standardize stuff around payments. I believe that since they're looking for cryptocurrency companies, CNX could participate. Good to create contacts and a possible other source of revenue for them.

If they are reaching out to crypto currencies specifically, we should have a talk with them. So you have a contact of some kind?

This task force seeks to engage banks, payment networks, other payment service providers, cryptocurrency companies, merchants, central banks, regulators, clearing houses, and all others interested in developing an open standard payment scheme for the Web.

Just curious if in the future you would consider joining it or not and why. On one side they're trying to standardize payment networks, etc, which seems nice, on the other, they're the same big companies that may have caused damage to others and the exact same reason why Bitcoin was invented in the first place.
