Title: What platforms fo you actually use off of exchanges.
Post by: bitcoin carpenter on September 22, 2018, 03:33:23 PM
Obviously i am not counting staking/mining as a use case, as that is just supporting the network in order to sell profits.

Im asking about whether you use the platform for any utility?

Although I am not a programmer, i have been using the waves platform to create assets for creating settlement ledgers for things like a ledger on ongoing card games to deciding whos turn if is to pay for gas to creating simple voting systems.

In the following week ill be able to use smart contracts like freezing assets voting multisig and atomic swaps as well.


Do any of you use blockchain platforms of any kind to do similar things?

I do not think that the masses are using any of these platform for any uses at the moment other than as payment transfers, in future most of apps will ne available as dapps so yes then we will be directly using these decentralized platforms.

So youre saying that even though people here are on the front end of some cutting edge technology, no one is actually using it yet?

Thats crazy.

There is way more money in learning how to use decentralized systems and playing with the possibilities then in trading.

If blockchain is going to replace legacy systems everyone should be trying to use them if for no other reason then to be the person that understands the possibility and know how to use it.

Are there other things that these platforms can be used for aside patent purposes? I know dapps can be built on the blockchain ls but these dapps still serve the same purpose of transactions purposes.

Dapps can be used for all sorts of settlement, whether its the transfer of information, wealth, ideas, voting rights, or just about anything that requires a ledger to prove that a settlement of some kind has taken place.

Anything that requires a tx of money or a signature can be done through the blockchain.

I used ETH and NEO to invest in ICOs. Also I played CryptoKitties on Etherium blockchain and I'm playing doperaider on POA now. But I still thinking there is no mass adoption of all blockchains maybe because of bad usability and scalability.

The scalability issue is a problem..
Bitcoin NG partially fixed the problem, and possibily sharding can fix eth in a couple years...
But the scalability of eth already became a problem during last winters hype.

At the moment i think there are only a few blockchain platforms that could scale 50-100x's ETH ability.
