Could anybody put some reasonable economic numbers behind each to estimate what market cap might result from each    NOW and expected in say 3 years?

A better question is, why do these need to run on etherium? What problem does ether solve here. Or is it just that ether is creating problems that are too many to list.

My guess is that 99.9% of these on the list won't be around in 6-12 months.

I'm psyched for Augur and Slock.it

Shhh  - All those that post here such stuff ( proof of intelligence ) will be banned ...

Augur - a trustless, decentralized, unregulated, low fee prediction market. This IMO is the biggest initial use case for Ethereum. These types of industries are notorious for corruption, high fees, and government interference. With smart contracts on a decentralized system... its resistant to all those things. There is potential there to take the gambling industry by storm.

Slock.it is a very interesting project, but I have a harder time understanding why it is a good fit for a decentralized system as opposed to a centralized one. I think the main benefit is that it could allow for an IoT based transaction ecosystem that doesn't require vendor lockin, but the path to that doesn't seem very clear.

The best advantage for using Ethereum over Rootstock is that a) it actually exists now and b) you don't have to pay Rootstock an extra 20% in networking fees to use the network.

Rootstock is also just using a fork of the Ethereum VM for their basis. So they will perpetually be in catchup mode when new features come out and they have to integrate those into their own network.

I'd put the number at more like 50%. There are definitely a decent number of planned DApps that just make no sense to me. Thats part of the deal though with a new platform - lots of experimentation and trying new stuff out. Its basically a new business model and a new way of thinking. We had a lot of failures with Web 1.0 and 2.0 type companies as well, and arguably a lot of over investment. Web 3.0 is upon us, and is likely to follow similar patterns with a large number of failures but a few wildly successful projects.

... if there is no real killer dapp , what's next ?

... if there is no real killer dapp , what's next ?

Maybe there is in the works, it's speculation at this point. There are a lot of good use cases out there, but they are likely to build slowly as there are significant hurdles to getting large amount of people onto the Ethereum network.

IMO Augur could be a killer app, but its not even into beta yet and won't launch to the main network for some months after that.

The Ethereum network is even ready to handle a "killer app" yet though. The clients and tools are all still focused on developers. The next release (Metropolis) will be focused on end user facing aspects like the app store and browser along with friendlier wallets. We need those types of things in order to make the on ramp more friendly for the masses.

Any yall familiar with the best ethereum NXT BTS XCP dapps?

these dapps trade more than NYSE!
just think of the trading fees that the decentralized maidsafe NEM NXT BTS XCP ETH trading platform will be making!

Re: Best ethereum dapps?

Decentralized butthole reamer ETH. So many speculators will get theirs cleaned out.

I'll be coming out with some fun games soon!

Augur.net is a website managed by "Forecast Foundation". They have a strict TOS and the only way to use augur "the decentralized application" is by accessing augur.net

"Slock.it is a registered company in Germany" this is what they say on the main page.

Simple question : What if augur.net goes down or it's shut down ? If it's a decentralized app i should be able to use it right away somewhere else.
