Bitcoin Forum

I have tested a couple different coins, each seems to be missing something necessary for adoption.

For example, sia is cool but you need to wait for an hour for the network. Its not exactly plug and play.

The altcoin that I know, the software that has practical use value, most of them belong to the payment type.

None have perfected stability. I guess maker can be seen as something used and good. Any others?

Prime example to answer your question is Eth network which has fully working softwares in shape of smart contracts and tokenization platform, many other coins and projects offer similar services other than mode of payment.

you should check minexcoin. their minexbank is working fine and actually being used by their investors and hodlers. and also if you are a holder of the coin you earn revenue for their own omnigames shares.

The business model of Minex is not clear. There were pretty clear scam accusations against Minex at some point. I didn't follow the subject closely in the last weeks, but I'd recommend caution with them.


I don't know what OP actually wants. Ethereum, Waves and others are platforms for tokens and dApps. See crypto kitties - an example of software used.
However, crypto coins are meant to be means of payment. You can pay with Bitcoin here and there, possibly Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Monero and Dash. The casino from my signature accepts 19 crypto coins!
But the full wallets need sync, in some cases pretty long. However, this is solved too, by using SPV wallets. You know, you don't need all the servers from a bank to use your card when paying for groceries...

now there is no single coin that could be introduced into real life. All cryptocurrency technology is still very young

Therefore we can actually include on this NEO, XEM and WAVES as they have the same platform?
I wonder if they can collab and make a better result for the crypto community.
Why most teams are looking for competition rather than helping each other for better!

8 years and billions of dollars and not one feasible option? Makes me question blockchain :/
Even using crypto as payment has its problems (stability).

you'd think they would collaborate more given that they are  opensource

Found this interesting site, still nothing particularly amazing tho.

Unfortunately not so much and in my opinion this is the main problem of the whole market. People are investing in coins without a ready solution and are forced to wait for ages. The most projects from top 100 still do not have a working product.

I disagree.
For example, boinc is "real life" in my opinion, and gridcoin is a coin that can be connected to boinc.

I'm pretty sure there are other examples, like steemit

Minexcoin is a nice project but their CEO doesn't stick to the promises they said. Minex cards are the biggest successful thing on the whole project and they failed to discuss shady behaviour while creating these cards. Minexbank percentages are decreased and I withdrew all MNX for selling on livecoin.

Sad :(

That's a ponzi and a scam. i should repeat it again if minex is a scam and you should not suggest it to everyone. We have known very well about that. Stop mention that scam ico that created by scammer. So many people have mentioned that in another thread if there was a lot of suspicious things about minex. garbage platform

you are starting to ask the correct questions here. usability should be the only thing that everyone looks for in any project and unfortunately none of them have any usages so far.
some altcoins like LTC, and some of the DAG coins come close to it and some of the platforms initially came close to it (like ethereum in early days) but they all went bad and abandoned. for example ethereum started good but when all the problems showed and the premine coins became obvious we all knew it is a pump and dump coin. and now it is only used for ICO scams.

Not every coin will have that adoption that bitcoin and other popular coin is getting today. Some are made just to become a decoy in the crypto market and doesn't have any valuable or serious use for those altcoins that have been created lately. These new altcoins doesn't really give that appropriate solution but they are labeling themselves as something usable through payments and solves problem that other coins are experiencing right now but in reality, they don't.

Many blockchain based platform has been used actually, Ethereum is one the most used utilize the platform, we know millions of new token established on the Ethereum platform. There are also Stellar and Waves platform, that I think have almost the same function as Ethereum. And I believe there are tons of other platforms that actually are very useful but not really popular, such as Tron, Obyte, Robotina, WePower, and many other platforms, these platforms only small user now, but it will eventually grow.

Interesting, I have not heard of many of those. Wepower is a good example of what I am looking for. A coin that has utility built in but does not have to do with other coins as a utility use case. Unfortunately, I dont believe wepower is anywhere near easy to use. I also don't believe it has over 100000 transacted (in their electricity market) monthly. That's a small number and there should be at least one project that has that.

Yes, it is normal to see a lot of flaws on the blockchain since the technology is relatively new and still very much open for upgrade by anyone who can make it happen.

This is why the market is free and open source, so that if you see something that need to be added, you can make a proposal for an upgrade and when there is a consensus by the community member, the upgrade would be implemented.

The best software I've seen is Moac's. They just had a pretty big partnership with china mobile too to integrate with water purifier system. but I've heard their dapp deployment is simple and easy to customize

You can try to check hydro (https://projecthydro.org) the software they are developing is Hydro Raindrop this is a kind of 2FA but it is more advanced and safer than traditional 2FA it is currently integrated into some company. You can read an article about it here (https://projecthydro.org/blog/hydro-raindrop-how-is-it-an-improvement-over-current-2fa-solutions/)

Have you looked into MOAC? Their microchain smart contract and cross-chain interoperability specs make it pretty impressive and it's actually being used on a large scale in China

MOAC is a great platform that is being adopted quite rapidly in China https://www.moac.io/
