Super late to the party, but trying to understand the hype/see what early interesting apps/toys are being built on #blockchain/#crypto that aren't just exchanges/trading platforms/stores. What should I check out? Caveats: super beginner & SUPER skeptical as @rickyyean can attest
So far, Steemit at least looks interesting, but I'm finding pretty little else that's interesting. Brave and Metamask were also not beginner friendly at all to set up.
So update: tried out Peepeth on Toshi... lots of issues:
1) Had to pay gas to write my signup to the blockchain
2) Have to pay gas for any write transaction: sending a peep, following, etc.
3) BUT you can batch 15 actions together and write them at once to the blockchain...
26 minutes sounds ridiculous. But even if this gets solved, can someone who knows much more than I do explain how apps on top of blockchain are supposed to deal with limitations of the CAP theorem?
I guess all app developers will need to become distributed systems experts to account for basic consistency issues when you don’t know when a tweet will get written and confirmed to the database...
