Topic: Coolest thing currently being done with Bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 1555 times)
Buying pizza with bitcoin seems cool. Especially when you pay 10000 btc for it few years back.
I'll second Mastercoin. As has been said elsewhere, it's definitely not just another altcoin. Moreover, development of the protocol is progressing rapidly, thanks to the simplicity of its design. (Full disclosure: I own some Mastercoin.)
Another cool project is maaku's attempt to prune the blockchain near-optimally. I for one would really like to see full nodes have a lighter system footprint than they do now. This work, however, seems to be currently on hold for lack of funds. See http://utxo.tumblr.com.

This I believe is also some sort of Bitcoin ATM - I think the pic was taken at a recent trade expo in Sydney.
Can anyone shed any light on it?

The ATM is pretty cool. I wonder if they can get off the ground -- these things hitting the streets could do wonders for adoption.
Also about autonomous corporations: via analyzing its sourcecode, you can be 100% sure that you won't get ripped off when investing in or buying from the corporation.
You could program it to move every X days.
We're gonna need fatter pipes.
Not to thread jack over here, but since you asked (though probably not the coolest thing), I created a physical Bitcoin tip jar. You can see how it works here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67McSlKwgX8
I figured it'd be cool if a small business/bars used it as a a way to acknowledge a tip.

I don't necessarily see all of the various exchanges that keep opening up as super awesome,just awesome. The sites that allow speculation are kinda neat though not super awesome. Even various business that decide to accept bitcoin are great just not super awesome.
I think the MasterCoin protocol is super awesome. It it works then bitcoin becomes more robust and demand goes up. Mastercoin is revolutionary and takes away more financial controls from the old system and decentralizes them for the people.

Give an application/website a bitcoin wallet. Program it to buy it's own hosting.
Basically, we could one day have entire corporations that are run online without any human interaction that only charges an overhead equal to what it costs to run the business. It would have incredible implications.
For fun, you could put a backup in the wild that verifies the main site is running. If it is down then the backup goes live. You could program it to move every X days.
Imagine if the silk road operated like that? No human control just a permanent service that existed in the wild. It could even send profits directly to your wallet and you'd never have to interact with it at all.

Despite being less than five years old, some really cool projects are being built around Bitcoin. For example, just-dice is an elegant gambling application, with options to both gamble and invest. What are some of the cool projects that you have seen?
