Lets build a list about pragmatic blockchains that are aiming to tackle real life problems? A quick lookup or index of some sort.  There is too much fud, hype, and drama - time killers.  All great projects fundamentally tackle real life problems.  


Synereo: Decentralized Social Media, redistribute wealth made from data mining off identities to users of the platform.

Steemit: Get paid to blog

Monereo: Privacy

Opair: Smart contracts, debit cards, crowd funding, and private chains

Syndicate: Business readiness.  Barcode scanners, pay employees with SYNX, encrypted employee details page (i.e identity theft is a problem these days), spend SYNX wherever BTC is spent

Niro: 526 encryption aimed to fight quantum computers, light speed transactions.

Whose building the decentralized market for cryptos to fight against Mt. Gox, and Bittrex scenarios?

Is someone building a decentralized email?


What coins do you know about?

Those are not real life problems. I would like to see crypto projects that tackle actual real life problems like poverty, centralization of electricity distribution, censorship, cheating in the voting process of our leaders and real anonimity online.

I think poverty is not a "problem" but a normal aspect of life: there are winners and there are losers, and within the finite boundaries of an ecosystem, a population is always limited by those that die from starvation, which is what we call "poverty".  To me, poverty is a necessary clipping of the world population, and many of our problems come from our ill-fated perception that we should fight poverty.

I think that things like renewable energy sources are a perfect way to decentralize electricity production.  I have nothing against centralized electricity production if the market is free: if your nuclear power plant can provide you with cheaper electricity, that's good, but you are free to make your own with solar panels.
I don't think there should be any voting process, as I don't think that there should be any aristocracy dictating law.   Democracy is nothing else but the dictate of the (manipulated) majority.  It is better than a sole dictator, but individual freedom is still way better.
So the only things I agree with is fighting censorship and anonymity online.  That's what crypto is about, I would think.

The problem is that many people aren't interested in that, because they are or brainwashed into thinking that the state is not a criminal organisation, or are thinking that they will get their unfair advantage out of the state in some or other way.

Shadow will be releasing a marketplace soon.
