Title: Lack of useful dApps for ETH and other Cryptos
Post by: Bitlinguist on September 10, 2018, 07:59:43 AM
Hi dear community,

I will make this post/question short:

Why is there no usefull dApp for ETH like food delivery or uber clones but only crap like CryptoKitties?!
Did nobody every bother creating something more sophisticated like a simple Browser Game with ETH or even a MMORPG utilizing Cryptos for ingame purchases?

When looking for porn content or porn games I can buy with crypto I also could find absolutely nothing. Didn't the knowledge that sex sells arrive in the crypto industry already?

It feels a bit like the whole crypto industry has missed to jump on the train if it comes to reallife usage of crypto. Why is that? Is the implementation too difficult or the legal context a problem? Is it due to a lack of game designer and producers accepting crypto as a means of payment or is the whole problem more complicated?

I mean the dark web and deep web is full of services you can aquire with crypto, but why are most of the marketplaces restrained to the dark side of the internet and illegal things rather than reallife goods or services in the indexed internet?

I'm looking forward for your input, my dear fellow Cryptonians!

EDIT: The only thing that comes close to a proper game is 0xUniverse. Only one proper game in the whole crypto world?!

Follow:
https://dappradar.com/

It will show you the current popularity and use of certain Dapps.

I wouldn't say that there has been zero use of Dapps on ethereum so far, Augur released in beta after years of development and has seen some nice growth. As a prediction market it stands to be the most utilized one to date. It alone has tremendous potential.

As far as MMORPG's, Im with you dude, I would love to see a big game get released that had an in game crypto token that could be traded for real money. But creating these games is extremely difficult and labor intensive. Can you imagine how many employees work at blizzard? But these games are in the works (like 0xuniverse), give them time.

On a final note I think it's important to realize that the most utulized Dapps so far have been the gambling/investing ones like Powh3d, Fomo3d and cryptokitties. IMO this is because they have that built in "trustless escrow" and provided the most upfront utility for developers to use to build something, over time more sophisticated Dapps will come.....like Augur.

Good luck

First off, is there actually a need to decentralize food delivery? As you're ordering from a central authority(a business) anyway? A DApp for fastfood delivery is unnecessary.

As for Uber clones, I've seen a few projects that are aiming for the same goal already. I'm just not sure how good/bad they are.

Also, there are already games that uses ETH or blockchain in general(to some extent). We have Ether Legends, Zombie Battleground, etc. Not sure about MMORPGs though.


When looking for porn content or porn games I can buy with crypto I also could find absolutely nothing. Didn't the knowledge that sex sells arrive in the crypto industry already?
What are you talking about, there are a few sites that accepts crypto payments already.

Dude. Do your research. Simply doing a google search for "porn site that accepts crypto" can give you a good number of lists. Also, if you want to know a list of sites whereas you can use your crypto on, check out https://coinsources.io/ (disclaimer: this is my site)

It still takes many steps to actually use a dApp. You need to convert fiat to ETH. You must transfer ETH to the platform you will be using. This all generates a cost.

And so far, we have no dApp that is revolutionary and do something impossible to do using another centralized platform. Ethereum still has several problems to solve and only when it is a PoS platform will we have quality dApps.

There are a lot of steps required to use DAPP. The conversion of fiat to ETH is required as well as the ETH needs to be transferred to the platform that will be in use.

Well, there was a lack of dApps but it's been gaining a lot of momentum recently. Still, dApps are not straight forward to use. There are quite a few steps to actually using one. You should check out dappradar. I find it really useful. You can find out about many dapps and their popularity based on users on that site.

Despite everything, it makes numerous moves to really utilize a dApp. You have to change over fiat to ETH. You should exchange ETH for the stage you will utilize. This all produces a cost. Thus far, we have no dApp that is progressive and accomplish something difficult to do utilizing another brought together stage.

The gambling and cryptokitty apps only go so far of course.
While some dapps are interesting, I still haven't seen any that blows me away.

I wouldn't state that there has been zero utilization of Dapps on Ethereum up until now, Augur discharged in beta following quite a while of improvement and has seen some decent development. As an expectation advertise it stands to be the most used one to date. Only it has gigantic potential.

Not all the dapps are good. From my opinion there are lots of dapps which are just good for nothing. But there are some which are really good in terms of vision and implementation both.

I don't know what is the definition of proper game for you but actually there are some really cool games. Zombie Battleground is one of them. It is pretty interesting from my view.

The main thing I'd debate about what he said is that Eth is crumbling. Inside a year it went up from $12 to $1400. No poo it won't remain anyplace near to that. I'd jump at the chance to see the full setting of the discussion before I begin framing feelings of a Nobel market analyst.

Developers are simply beginning to find the employments of Ethereum and it's helpfulness likely won't be completely acknowledged for quite a while in light of the fact that it's still in its earliest stages.

As decades passed and foundation supporting the web including the equipment of PCs, distributed computing, and programming definitely enhanced, the web developed into the base convention for information sharing, fueling practically everything going from video spilling to money related administrations.

Cryptocurrency should be more open to get service from online and I do agree on that there should be more dApps for cryptocurrencies to be more useful. I guess this development will come eventually.

Honestly, that makes no sense to see there are so many platforms have been aiming to create the dapps game. Look at how nexium, cryptokitties are falling right now.
The fact the dapps is still lack of implementation into the game. i meant that will be more suitable to be implemented to change the traditional economic system.
i have no idea about what they were thinking about that.

I guess there have been some dApps for Ethereum. Cryptocurrency is not a static platform and these systems are still developing. What you are expecting from crypto right now, you might be able to see many of them will come true.

Apart from the services of dark webs, you will be able to find many services in regular internet. You may google about the services that accept Bitcoins, Ethereum or crypto. I think more dApps will be made in times.

Well, in general, cryptocurrencies are involved in this, there are simply separate projects and their coins that are used in such areas, although it is really strange why it is still impossible to use simpler and more popular coins.

It's also taking many steps to actually use a dApp. You should convert fiat to ETH. You will transfer ETH to the platform you will be using. it's also committed to provide better service for clint.

Ethereum has created a lot of jobs for other people and Ethereum has also become a pioneer for samtrontracts.
The function of altcoins to stick to the Ethereum network is to create different tokens like the ones you want, like UBER and tokens for Games.

I followed dappradar and something interesting for me is that dapps aren't populat at all. The most popular dapp is IDEX. Decentralized exchange.
As for games, you can't compare game and such service as Uber
