Title: New decentralized DAppStore
Post by: slothbag on March 17, 2015, 02:11:09 AM
Years ago I created a website called bitcoincounsel.com, that was a directory of all Bitcoin related websites/businesses and just like nearly every other bitcoin directory out there I lost motivation in keeping it updated.  So I have created a decentralized DAppStore that not only includes Bitcoin and its related websites/businesses but also caters for the larger DApp ecosystem in general.

Think of this project as a cross between App Stores like Apples AppStore and the Google play store and Coinmarketcap.  It can be used to both advertise your project and provide reviews and rankings on related projects.

The DAppStore introduces a new token called "DAppStore Votes" or DSV, these votes are used for various functions in the DApp, but primarily they are used to cast votes towards projects of interest. Votes when cast are locked and cannot be used, but can easily be unlocked to be transferred or sold.

Its still early alpha quality code right now, although there is a live GUI you can try out here: http://dappstore.dappcentral.com/

It includes not only crypto-currency projects, but other DApps like BitMessage and TOR for example.

I'm aiming to release the full node source code in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, try out the demo GUI, get voting for your favourite DApps :)

Hi GenieBTC, its not even available on Desktop yet :)

Unfortunately no, mobile has not been started just yet.  Once a solid desktop version is out then I can look at building a lite mobile version.. but that is a ways off right now.

Congrats on a good looking project and hope it fulfills its spot in the bitcoin space. I really like the whole voting thing. I'm sure project makers will really benefit from this format.

Just updated the demo node at http://dappstore.dappcentral.com

Changes include:
* Filtering by DApp tags   e.g. You can filter your DApps by Crowdfunding, or File Sharing etc
* Added pagination to the DApp list and Projects list pages.

With pagination now active it is even more important to vote for your favourite DApps/Projects as the best place to be is on page #1 :)

By the way, there is a reward for flying the "Available on the DAppStore" banner on your projects website..
