What does bitcoin need?

February 26, 2014, 03:22:35 PM

So I have been been following the story of bitcoin for little over a year now and I've come to the realization that I just want to see bitcoin grow as a currency and I'll do whatever it takes to help it realize that dream.

Now the question becomes how can I (as a Computer Science graduate with experience in web development and Java) create any kind of software or website that the bitcoin economy needs more of?

In short what does bitcoin need more of (from a software perspective)? or what would you like to see created for bitcoin that hasn't already been done (or not done well enough)?

VPN's and Cloud Backups made simple. crowncloud.net

You won't like it .... testing, more testing, and even more testing.

Bitcoin is complex and even small changes to the codebase need to be extensively tested.

An add-on for the payments protocol which safely supports recurring payments.

Please help fund projects to advance Bitcoin:
P2Pool decentralized mining at 1KxvX5Hx8nh36ig2gT5bpeEcqLQcwJsZGB
rocks: Changing the supply limit fundamentally destroys bitcoin, but increasing the blocksize limit is absolutely needed to make it successful.

Places to use and or spend bitcoin.

Mass transit & toll road electronic passes refillable with bitcoin,
Parking Meters Refillable with Bitcoin.
Fast gas payment fobs rechargeable with bitcoin,
Bread, butter and eggs payable in bitcoin.

Most need capital investment for development but could create high yields in infrastructure efficiencies.

User friendly, good looking addresses for average user. This means, average user gives another average user address in format like this:
john.doe@gmail.com/dinner9

and more BTC in mine

and more support, less hate, less greed, less trolls,
more faith, more time...

and maybe here I will stop for now.

And I just want to say, that "time" is the point.

Time... time is what it needs

(and support, and advertising, and ....)
