Bitcoin is already killer in so many ways, why does there always have to be some magical future app that makes bitcoin finally "successful"?

Everything falls apart when there's dissension at the core developmental level. And we're not going to get a killer app until this bug is fixed.

If somehow this problem can be resolved quickly, then as was stated above; Bitcoin itself becomes the killer app.

How about an app where I can buy almost anything (let's call it Amazon.com) and it allows for payment via bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a currency, it doesn't need an app.

Personally, I would think that it would be pretty "killer" if bitcointalk had it's own app so the webpage could be converted into a more "mobile friendly" type of format.  Plus it would be nice to have notifications when you get a PM or someone responded to you or something like that; without having to check your emails which could get pretty clogged up with spam mail and the like.

Purse.io but for anything you want.  I want to order a pizza at 5% off with bitcoins.  This gives is essentially LBC trading instantly and secure too with a middle man escrow service.  Also, if someone created Amazon for bitcoin it could work.  They would save a lot of money on payment processing fees but would have to provide incentives for people to sign up.

I think he means that by "killer" he means revolutionary or beneficial to the bitcoin community in general.  Kind of like how "sick" means "cool"... again I'm just assuming here.

I think a "killer app" will be something that allows you to make payment through bitcoin without even you knowing that bitcoin is being used at all. Something like today's internet which you don't even know what it is but you are using it!

the killer app is going to be a big business or services like Amazon, Ebay, Steam,.... and a lot of other big online shops to start accepting bitcoin as an additional payment method.

they automatically bitcoin would grow and become more and more popular with more people using it.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

WOAAAH possum... great idea!

Hopefully we can find a dev for this new idea, but as for me I'm going to stick to science... I felt that I could help  Wink

What is everyone's definition of 'killer app'?

The thing that compels millions of people to get involved? Unless it's some type of absolute no brainer I don't think it'll ever be one single thing. There needs to be cumulative progress in all areas - education, accessibility, utility.

IMO bitcoin will be the king of currency if the transaction speed is as fast as doge coin, like 1 minutes block time, that will be awesome, sometimes I send bitcoin and wait for 30 minutes to get 1 confirmation, it is sucks, and 0 confirmation payment would be risky.

A killer APP in my opinion should be something where people adopt Bitcoin just to use that specific application or service. They did not use Bitcoin before, but that APP enabled them to use it now. In a sense, that was what happened with BackPage.com when other payment processors stopped supporting it as a payment method.

A killer APP must be something that spark mainstream interest and are the only payment method or tool to use this APP or service.  Wink

The killer app is the wallet. Putting an interface between fiat and BTC just feeds the thought process that 1 BTC == $x.00 USD - just a commodity.

The POS (point of sale) is the killer app; use BTC like you would paper bills, coins, credit cards. It's got to be a currency to succeed, not a function /conversion of a fiat currency.

I'm not into bitcoin to get rich (if I do, all the better), but to make an attempt to overtake government-issued currency. If they control your money, they control you. The "land of the free..." is the biggest load of shit ever.

What is your vision of this killer app?

In my vision the killer app consists of trowing some of bitcoin's anonymity options out the door. Purely based on choice. You can register with an layer build on top of Ethereum, which tracks and saves it for anyone to check. Every address you make from that account will be registered to you. That way people can find eachother easy. The masses dont want to donwload a client, donwload a blockchain read into tech shizzle and such. They want to log in and transfer funds to someone they know. Much like a banking apps nowadays. Also this killer app directly has to deliver a significant amount of bitcoin or any crypto for that matter in order to motivate people to actually try it. So not pennies, but tens of dollars at least Smiley

Most important of all, this all needs to be done with a few clicks, not that people need to download whole blockchains and such Smiley
