Exciting Bitcoin Projects!

Interesting, I will be following...

Embedded mining looks very good project, if it will be possible to do mining with let say mobile. Other projects can be good, if advertising budget for each of them will be enough.

Brave Launching in September:

It is good that we are seeing new ways of doing things thru bitcoin. But is it just me or what was supposedly the biggest projects in the bitcoin world seldom used when released. Two examples of these are Bitsquare and Open Bazaar. After release I have not heard any news of them anymore. I checked Bitsquare and there is only small volume traded over there. Is this a sign that bitcoin as a currency is irrelevant and it is treated more like a commodity?

Give them time, Rome wasnt built in 1 day.

Better yet, start promoting them, instead of complaining.

I am not complaining. I am telling you that this is what is happening right now. Are you yourself using Bitsquare for trading BTC? It is very hard buying at a good price because only a small people are using it. In Open Bazaar you have to be online whole year round so that your store will be online also. It is not very usable that way.

I am just telling the truth do not be angry. I am also a supporter like you but these things that are bad should be said so that they can be fixed and improved.

I am not angry I am just saying that its easy to complain about project not having success, but nobody does anything to promote them.

No I am not using Bitsquare but I hope to use in the future if it becomes liquid.

I am not sure if the OPENDIME hardware devices would count as an exciting project, but I like the devices a lot.  In my case I am using them as a "wealth preservation device" (BTC stored on them, and locked up!), similar to how one would use a full-blown hardware wallet like a Trezor or Ledger. 

The OPENDIME is also very cheap! 

My reviews, the devices work very differently than the Trezor and Ledger (pages three and four):

Except that they dont have a long lifespan, and if you dont have a backup then you risk losing your money.

What an interesting list, thank you!

Bitsquare v0.4.9.4 Released:

https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/releases/tag/v0.4.9.4

New payment methods will be added in the next release but that will break compatibility with versions prior to 0.4.9.4, so please update to that version first to not experience exceptions when offers with new payment methods are published.

Release notes 0.4.9.4:

    Add fix for unsupported payment methods.

For me (as a non-tekkie and also financially paranoid), rumor has it that Mycelium has an exciting project to automatically mix (tumble) BTC when using a future wallet of theirs.  No date yet (as far as I know).

Thread here, has link back to an article at bitcoinist:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1592812.0

This, IMO, is a nice thing.  Easy and gain more privacy.  I hope they do it!

Still if you are looking for superior level of anonymity then monero is probably a better choice.
I still understand need of mixing coins, but with mixing there is never ending discussion of privacy vs. money laundering.

Also we have one similar failed project already - Dark Wallet.

[durrrrdwan]

Are factom and stratis project bitcoin projects? IMO they are bitcoin project, factom is developing a Scalable Data Layer for the Blockchain. Stratis is developing C# bitcoin full nodes on its blockchain. Although they are altcoins, but they can contribute to bitcoin

[Vinz24]

This projects looks good. I hope this happen soon so that bitcoin will more convinient to all the people. And if this happen, I expect the price of bitcoin to go up.

That's will never end that's just like a question without any sentences for an answer that because the answer just in the everyone is using mixing for?until our will die it's will never get the ending.

I want to thank you for this list , they are helpful projects , and unfortunately , I don't know most of them , that make me wonder , how to handle all these projects ? and how many projects we don't know ? because every day there is something new .

Just use Google to search them, I just list here the more established ones and the ones that I think have a huge positive impact on bitcoin.

There are probably many more out there ,but not all of them become succesful.

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.

I like this idea. if we have larger block space, the voice of hard fork will be smaller. Lightening Network is necessary to future bitcoin mass adoption, now the speed is too slow. We need speed it up

It is just embarrassing how these hardforkers have a patience of a 5 year old. They cant even wait a few more months until this gets established, while urging for a hardfork since 2014, when we can see that it is not urgent at all.

I think SW will come out smoothly, and in 2017 we will have good developments for bitcoin.
