[shinratensei_]

Looks like only 5 days left until the halving. It will be exciting to see what happens to bitcoin after.

hahaha many people it has the same feel getting curious if halving is happened. a lot of people is predicted about the price of bitcoin but I not sure with this. this is my first experience in halving time.

Love the countdown thing and the list specially, the brave browser. I will be rooting for that. I hope they will create an application that can run it at a smarphone also.

thats true, but a lot of people like to buy their bitcoins the last day in my opinion, i think that it would be best to just buy your bitcoins right now, because the price will grow in the future

Anyone here heard about this project - BitHappy? http://bithappy.co.uk/

Apparently - as they advertise - "BitHappy services enables anyone to buy and sell goods and services with Bitcoin."

Also: "BitHappy is the world's first Bitcoin Browser and the solution to mainstream adoption of Bitcoin."

and "BitHappy is an alternative to the existing mobile payment system and a solution for the 2.5 billion unbanked."

So have anyone tried it alredy or you think it is too good to be true?

nice to know although there are lots of sites like this one already not to mention openbazaar to which I'm currently downloading.
if these project just open an ICO to get funds from investors, they might just be funded with thousands of USD.

It is really a good list, I am enjoying this information, I am very excited about Openbazaar, its going to make us easier to purchase and selling things online and absolutely i am going to try bitsquare

It is very exciting to see so many "killer app" projects upcoming in the near future. They will definitely add great value to bitcoin, and I think the price has to reflect that, so I think the price will go up after these things come out. I rank them by my estimation of their order of importance, and how I believe each one will add value to bitcoin.

1⟫ Segregated Witness and LightningNetwork - Larger block space, which will increase the capacity of bitcoin transaction, making room for more people. And empty rooms always tend to fill up, so I expect many new users from this idea. It also fixes malleability issues, and makes 0 confirm double spend harder so we can now build instant transaction systems with greater confidence and less risk of double spend with lightning network technology. Huge project, definitely nr.1.

2⟫ Block reward halving - Decreases yearly inflation from ~9% to ~4%, definitely a huge added value to bitcoin, and has the possibility to increase it's price. It will also make bitcoin less fiat-like, and probably larger investors will see bitcoin as more stable and established project. I also think that it will decrease price volatility, making bitcoin more stable in the long term. Huge positive and direct impact for bitcoin.

✓3⟫ Bitsquare - First decentralized cryptocurrency exchange, that cannot be censored or controlled, just like bitcoin. We are all tired of exit scams, hacks and inside jobs , or random account suspensions. The decentralized exchanges will bring us a new paradigm, and make trading more liquid and frictionless. This can bring a huge value to bitcoin. I`d put this as NR 1. over long term, but it might need a lot of testing and bugfixing before it can gain traction.

Other upcoming decentralized exchanges are: http://mercuryex.com  ,  http://www.coincer.org  ,  http://www.supernet.org  ,  https://etherex.org ,
                                                                    https://bcexchange.org

4⟫ Zerocoin - Fixes bitcoin's privacy problems, which directly drags down bitcoin's fungibility. This technology will ensure that all coins will be equally equal, no matter what source they come from. A huge step forward for bitcoin financial privacy.

✓5⟫ OpenBazaar - Decentralized P2P marketplace, a great invention that never existed before, and has the power to reshape global trading. It could work with any currency, so all currencies could gain value, but I think it will bring more value to cryptocurrencies, in majority for bitcoin. Frictionless global trading will also help many poor countries, that may already be looking after bitcoin, but need a "killer app" to start using it frequently. A huge project that will give indirect support to cryptocurrencies.

6⟫ Embedded Mining - 21 Inc plans to create embeddable microchip miners that can be integrated into any appliance (for ex smartphones) and it can create a world full of bitcoin miners in every device. This is huge, it can help decentralize bitcoin and it can help many people on the planet to grab some bitcoins for themselves.

7⟫ RootStock - "Is the first open-source smart contract platform with a 2-way peg to Bitcoin that also rewards the Bitcoin miners via merge-mining, allowing them to actively participate in the Smart Contract revolution. RSK goal is to add value and functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem by enabling smart-contracts, near instant payments and higher-scalability."

8⟫ Joystream - Decentralized filesharing system. It is really helpful for small producers: singers, musicians, DJ's, and other artists. They can just host their art and get a huge audience, while bitcoiners could get a new money earning platform. The hoster and the seeders share the revenue, while the downloaders pay for it. Therefore many newbies will have an opportunity to earn bitcoin, thus increasing the demand and utility for bitcoin. It's a big direct support for bitcoin.

9⟫ Brave Browser - They will be the first browser to integrate bitcoin in their software, allowing people to spend and earn bitcoins directly. They have also designed their browser to be privacy friendly so its a good combination for bitcoin users. Although Chrome and Firefox own the market, they could gain a reasonable market share, and also force Chrome and Firefox to integrate bitcoin as well to stay competitive. In any case it will be big, however it will take a longer time than the other events, so i put this on the 7th spot.

10⟫ BitcoinJ Payment Channels - Payment channels to send and receive microtransactions, good for faucets, tipping or any other smaller transactions, without miner fees. It's not that popular and established yet, but in the future it could be a technology that can make smaller transactions less costly.


Let me know if I missed something, in my opinion these are the most exciting events or projects we can look forward to in the near future!

This was a very nice thread and the list it is very informative for well thanks for this , now I knew it there would be so much exciting and new programs for bitcoin I feel very excited for the decentralized exchange I think that would be more safe and secure , also the embedded mining would be great because only with a microchip even at smartphone or any other device you can have your bitcoin mining .

This is new for me just heard from you and will be reading some information about this.
Oh and what a great list of projects I see a lot will change after this halving. Hope it all goes well.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but since this thread is talking about bitcoin related project, does anybody know about LBRY? https://lbry.io/
From what I catch, this website is about media sharing which we can get paid if anyone choose to watch our content? And the payment is on an altcoin called LBRY?

Yes its a nice project, but it has nothing to do with bitcoin.

Here we are focusing on bitcoin related projects and events that directly or indirectly influence bitcoin positively.

[Dahhi]

This is an impressive list...

oK so the reward halving has happened, whats your thoughts on it. The inflation rate has halved, i think the bitcoin price will slowly climb back up now.

Bitcoin has by far the lowest inflation rate of all currencies therefore the capital should come into it anytime now.

I like bitsquare because its so handy, it has a downloadable apps that enables you to buy and sell bitcoins in exchange to national currency or other altcoins or cryptocurrency. Its just great that all i need is within one app and the exchange are just what I wanted. to download it will take 10 to 15 minutes max depending on your internet connection. And there you go enjoy trading.

very nice list already im using Openbazaar and i love it ! cool app need to tweak tho..but they ll fix it !!

Bitcoin has by far the lowest inflation rate of all currencies therefore the capital should come into it anytime now.

The rise up in value would take several weeks, months even. If we look at the first halving, the price really doubled. But it actually took roughly two months for that to happen. I'm not sure whether that would apply to today as well, but maybe, just maybe it's going to need that much time as well.

I agree that the price will eventually start to go up but I think it might take a lot longer that last time for it to double. The halving has come and gone but it didn't bring a massive boost in adoption. We'll have to wait for the Bitcoin adoption rate to continue its own natural evolution.
