A Bitcoin Technology Gets Nasdaq Test

Some clarification from one of the authors of this piece on their twitter stream [1]:

@mikejcasey are they using Bitcoin-inspired blockchain technology or "the" blockchain?

@jerrybrito THE blockchain. It's a colored coin implementation. That got lost on cutting room floor.

@mikejcasey Any more details? That is a little vague.

@brantonbits They're using the Open Assets Protocol, a colored coins implementation on top of bitcoin. That clearer?

For anyone interested in learning more about the Open Assets Protocol, the official specification is here [1]. It's relatively short, and really quite readable.

The reference implementation is in Python [2], but I've been working on a JavaScript implementation [3] that's available via npm [4]. It's mostly complete, but I would love help from anyone interested in getting it over the finish line...
