What projects are you most excited about?

[eerygarden]

I assume there are a number of ongoing projects under development that I have not heard of. Which projects do you anticipate will be great for the bitcoin community once they are released/completed?

The ones that I have heard about are

• openbazaar - seems really cool
• mycelium bitcoin card - i would like to see this in action
• the twinkletoe twins exchange - meh
• ethereum - not really sure what it is. Is it an alt coin?

Tell me what you are excited about for the bitcoin community?

Ethereum and Maidsafe! don't forget maidsafe!

i look the most forward to the gemini exchange of the winklevoss brothers. in the long term it can have a great impact on the price. we need better exchanges than the current ones that we have.

Get gems messenger app. Decentralized messaging app that rewards users for growing the network.  Also when fully operational, it will have daily air drops based on usage. Plus, advertisers will pay users direct. It is also a very secure Bitcoin wallet and an easy way to transfer funds.

Basically it's bitcoin's killer app.

I'm by far the most excited about Mycelium's Bitcoin Card - provided that it allows you to broadcast transactions without the need of carrying another device (smartphone). We need cheap, simple and secure hardware solutions that provide instant Bitcoin use. Having a tiny card that allows you initiate Bitcoin payments anytime is imho a "killer app".

That said another project I'm very excited about is BitSIM - a smart SIM that you can use in any 2G-cellphone for doing Bitcoin transactions. If this project materializes, it might be the first serious competitor for Africa's established mobile payments solutions.

ya.ya.yo!

i need something like amazon for bitcoin, immediately so openbazar only for me, there should be an exchange counterpart, or they can integrate it in the open bazar project

i hope it will be big, and not only a niche market, like every other project for bitcoin...

for sure about ethereum, even is quite tricky to even understand, what is purpose of it.) anyway some brief understandable description is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum

Ethereum and Maidsafe! don't forget maidsafe! 

The same projects as Ethereum is progressing and has a test net and Maidsafe storage as well openbazaar is also an interesting idea and the only other ones I am aware of were Counterparty and Mastercoin.

[Herbert2020]

the only event that is going to excite me nowadays about bitcoin like what Amph said, is if some big markets like Amazon or Ebay start accepting bitcoin.
but so far i am interested in openbazzar and what to see how that turns out.

[OmegaStarScream]

For me there is several , the hardware wallet CryptoLabs "Case" (the design is just epic) . Also Darkwallet which still need funding and I guess it will be available on 2016 if they get their funding (the sooner the better)
OpenBazaar would be also good because there isn't a lot of shops that really accepts Bitcoins and have shitload of items like Amazon & eBay does .

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Probably OpenBazaar providing it stays legal & doesn't go down the Silk Road route (I'm not bothered by drugs or anything like that but it bring us negative attention).
We need something respected & legit that can be used online by the mainstream, hopefully OpenBazaar that be that.

I'm kind of excited by the Gemini Exchange, rightly or wrongly I think it can give the price a massive boost, it's nothing like GBTC. GBTC is Gemini's less well known, poorer cousin. The Winklevoss's will succeed with their BTC related investments, it's just a matter of time.

Also not a project but I'm eagerly awaiting the halving next year ✔

[okae]

I'm interested with OpenBazaar since it's legal & using bitcoin
I could use my bitcoin not only for video games & gambling

Also, i'm interested with BitFury to Release Light Bulbs that Mine Bitcoin in 2015
It would be cool have bulb which can mining bitcoin

oh man i forget it, i mean about bitfury, do you really think that in the next years it will be possible? can you imagine it? your house with all the lights on? haha


btw the proyect that im most excited is openbazaar, for me this will be the beginningof the best market ever

Etherum as it is used to bitcoin mining .It helps to develop decentralized applications.Ethereum is a form of specialized cloud computing.
as cloud computing is also new technology from last 4 - 5 years.with the help of bitcoin people will more interacted with new things such as
cloud computing - new platform
Etherum - Editor (develop DAap)
Python- Programming language.[/list]

Ethereum and Maidsafe! don't forget maidsafe! 

Hmmm. For the first time I just looked up maidsafe. It sounds good. It's one of those things I think I'd like to try out. Hopefully not too long before I get the opportunity.

Yeah, I hear this a lot about Gemini. I dunno though. The exchanges that I have used seem pretty good. All that needs to improve for me is being able to instantly credit your exchange account with FIAT with zero fees. Will it be able to do this? All I hear is that it will bring an air of respectability because two guys who were represented poorly in the movie, 'The Social Network', are behind it.

meh

Personally I only tend to text message my wife, my mum and the fish monger. Very seldom do I text others. Is that the kind of thing it is? Like whatsapp but decentralised? Also, what are 'air drops'?

[Snorek]

Ethereum is an effort to create a better bitcoin, one that is highly programmatic, making it much more dynamic. It is quite interesting - and yes we could call it another altcoin, but they got some pretty awesome people on Ethereum team. The Ethereum project has good intentions. This project may be picked by some companies for its commercial use.

Aye, I am in agreement. It sounds great. It's familiar with people too. We are used to using credit cards to transact with. Making something that fits in your wallet that functions well and securely will be a big deal. I read that it will work outside of the blockchain though, which I am not too sure about, but I am intrigued for sure.

Thanks for sharing BitSIM, I shall have a google. Do you think it will be useful outside of Africa?

[belmonty]

The Mercury project is exciting. It's a fully trustless decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that's being developed. It's only being held up by a lack of testers and the fact all the coins it will use need to implement OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY because without it the exchange would be vulnerable to TX malleability attacks.

I share your sentiments. Ebay and Amazon must be the biggest two players for e-commerce at the moment. Open Bazaar has the potential to create a whole new industry and take e-commerce with it. May I propose we call it BTCe-commerce? You heard it here first.
