I'm looking for a full list of dapps made within the Ethereum platform to test myself and serve as reference for some dapps that I'm going to develop in the near future.

Also, I would need some advice regarding the gas used when executing a smart contract as I have noticed sometimes that when I use a certain amount of it when executing the same, I get an error message saying that I have insufficient gas (also, the block explorer shows that the contract execution failed) Is there any way to know what is the minimum amount of gas needed to execute a smart contract? How do I find this information? Sorry for asking, I'm just curious to know as I had certain issues with this at the moment of getting started with the smart contract. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

With the recent price decrease its a gud buy right now and I'm buying more.

I am going to say it straightly, 0.05 BTC.

There is a panic now, you guys are not wrong, hard-soft fork, eth pos etc. bla bla bla.

But after the dust, eth will see an all time high. Sorry.

Im not in anyway a fan of ethereum but to be honest the price is holding pretty strong after the recovery it made. When i first saw the drop after the hack i assumed it was game over for eth and the dao but prie is pretty good as of today. Slightly down from a few days ago but still good in my opinion. I Definitely wouldn't consider de listing it at current prices and volume.

I have also heard vitalik have just bought some counterparty shares but i don't have link ( this could only be another fud/hype).
However security issue before in their smart contracts and now in softfork which they have created by themselves will make them loss trust from lots of people now on. Market has already start reacting on this news.

Hey guys, been lurking inactively here for a couple of years and finally decided to start something blockchain related.
I see there are a lot of alternative "bitcoin" coins being developed.
I have read the Bitcoin white paper and understand the basics and the code pretty well.

What are the most interesting alternatives "Bitcoin" coins currently out there and worth studying?

Hope you can point me in a few interesting directions.

Regards,

Jason

An interesting prediction. One week is enough little time to find out whether it is true.

This thread is not intended to be about any specific crypto project, nor claim that these ideals are the only way forward. Because for one reason, no one has yet shown that these ideals are plausible.

I just want to explain my reasons for setting these ideals as the goals from my crypto work and open these goals to discussion. Any project I launch will be attempting to achieve these goals. The following summaries are not intended to be exhaustive nor present counter arguments. This thread is unmoderated, so you all can add your thoughts.

One of my motivations for creating this post, is to gather the past couple of weeks of my discussion into one coherent post, for my own future reference.

Readers should click all the links in this OP, to get the full flavor behind these summaries.

1.	No ICOs: ICOs enable insiders to buy from themselves, creating a non-free market distribution of the money supply, thus manipulating all the market parameters and effects creating a controlled, non-free market. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1524111.msg15340159#msg15340159 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1413819.msg15343686#msg15343686
2.	No (Satoshi) Proof-of-work: Proof-of-work concentrates the money supply, economic profits, and control to the mining farms (esp. those with electricity subsidies). Meet your new central bank masters, the mining cartel. Permissionless, trustless attributes are lost, e.g. forks are possible. Since all the debasement ends up with the rich via mining, the system has no countervailing mechanism to recirculate the money supply to prevent it from losing its attribute as a unit-of-exchange for the broad public. Proof-of-work launches provide no funding for the core developers, unless they are accomplished with premine, instamine, stealthmine, or non-optimized proof-of-work function deceptions. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1524286.msg15342314#msg15342314
3.	No Proof-of-Stake: The brutality-of-the-majority (aka democracy) applies. Permissionless, trustless attributes are lost, e.g. forks are possible. No changes of the ICO token distribution share can be accomplished via mining, thus the system has no countervailing mechanism to recirculate the money supply to prevent it from losing its attribute as a unit-of-exchange for the broad public.
4.	No governance: Foundations and governance are just bringing the brutality-of-the-majority (aka democracy) to what should be permissionless, trustless. If democracy was going to save us, why has it never done so in 6000 years. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1524286.msg15352261#msg15352261
5.	No forks: no one, not even miner's should have the brutality-of-the-majority power to break the Nash equilibrium and vote on a fork: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1520678.msg15335354#msg15335354 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1516067.msg15285558#msg15285558

Yes smooth I have some new magic¹ for launching a token system fairly yet also funding the developer. Not an ICO, not proof-of-work, and not some obfuscation of an ICO which has the negative implications of an ICO I enumerate in #1 above.

Note I don't see any need to eliminate having a set of core developers, as I don't see how any development can proceed without them. I would encourage those developers to not cultivate nor employ their political clout to facilitate forks. Note ecosystem development can proceed without the need for a fork.

Diversification is the first rule of investment   . This is my list of coins that I have personally invested in and could vouch for as genuine.

1) Bitcoin - for obvious reason is the bulk of my portfolio.
2) ETHEREUM - Some people seem to hate it, but is the second most popular coin with major resources for further development.
3) NEM - Bought a stake but sold too soon   now bought back.
4) NXT - Old coin that I thought was dying,but bought back because of ARDOR
5) Maidsafe - Just like the message of the coin, decentralized internet.

Others

Litecoin - genuine coin but dont see any future, I lost money mining it.

What do you guys think? are they any other genuine coins with innovative future, proven coins with decent volume and credibility.
