Ok I`ve added 21 inc to point 6) with their embedded mining initiative, they sure can create a lot of change with that technology. I cant wait to see many people using them.

But it will take many years for it to be widespread, so it's only 6th, as my list ranks the stuff by order of importance.

The other projects might catch on, but they might also fail, being forgotten after a few months. A very high failure rate is an integral part of the nature of new startups.

I doubt it, most of them are already established or are on the verge of growth. I cant see openbazaar going extinct, it is growing every day.

Once the innovation is out of pandoras box, you cannot put it back.

But can I do trades in it now? I downloaded it but I still have not installed it yet.

I think yes, but you will find only little volume, it's still not as established as the other projects since it only came out a few weeks ago.

Give it some time and you will see many users using it.

Do a lot of people use Bitsquare? This seems to be a breakthrough in trading platforms. I'm wondering why there's no clamor behind it.

Not yet, it probably needs to reach critical mass before tons of people start using it.

Its still early release with many bugs so people need more time to get comfortable with it.

I think only the first two are of real significance (though the reward halving can't be considered a "project" Cheesy), because these are direct features of Bitcoin. The other projects might catch on, but they might also fail, being forgotten after a few months. A very high failure rate is an integral part of the nature of new startups.

I think a problem of the mentioned startups is that they are too nerdy to have success at a bigger scale. The benefits they offer are simply not relevant for the majority of users - which doesn't mean that I personally contest that they offer real benefits. For example OpenBazaar was hailed as the new decentralized eBay but hasn't attracted a significant user base yet. The problem is, if there are almost no users, the platform is also not attracting new users. The higher the effort to use a system, the worse this problem becomes...

Maybe the really exciting Bitcoin projects are not even known yet.

ya.ya.yo!

Well its nice that they have that sort of projects, that means bitcoin will grow more and probably more users will be attracted in using it.

-the refund button in the transaction modal now has a confirm step to prevent accidental refunds.
-the client will now check for available updates once every hour.
-you can test your SMTP buttons from settings/advanced.
-the base HTML structure has been overhauled, to make positioning of major areas of the application more consistent.
-anchor links are no longer draggable.
-the server connect modal has been translated and responds to changing the language used in the client.
-multiple numbers and text elements that were not yet internationalized have been internationalized.
-the transactions tabs have spinners that are shown while the transactions are loading, and a message if no transactions were found for that tab.

Yea they are really exciting, but it would not have so big impact on bitcoin just yet. The 21 co bitcoin computers are not very mainstream yet so it needs more time until it can have impact.

For now we see the projects listed in my list that are already operational and can grow big anytime. For example the openbazaar is just waiting to become a new trend, it has huge potential.

But i am watching both 21 and blockstream for exciting stuff!

Removed ETH from the list. What can I say, i`m quite dissapointed with ETH, it's way too overvalued and pumped up irrationally.

Also it's way more centralized than it looks like, so I`m not sure if it's a good influence on bitcoin. Althought ETH havent stolen market cap from bitcoin, and ETH smart contracts might become useful, ETH the coin itself is what I`m skeptical about and it's development process.

I`d just rather list here projects that will be beneficial to bitcoin, rather than the coin.

Hi, how about ipayyou? https://www.ipayyou.io/
Never tried them too since I'm quite loyal to blockchain, but i read this wallet allow a cancellation of a transaction as long as the transaction are not confirmed yet. I think it was like escrow-based wallet. That'll be a good project for newbie who are just learning about btc and their transaction.

Thats just a wallet provider. I`m talking here about projects that enhance bitcoin's features and expand their userbase.

For example the thunder network is another exciting one, however it's too new now so i`ll wait a bit to add it to the list.

I kinda want to see established projects, because there are many projects that failed here before even finished.

Thunder Network potentially handling 100k+ TPS looks very exciting...

https://blog.blockchain.com/2016/05/16/announcing-the-thunder-network-alpha-release


Yes i read about that, but i dont really understand it yet, can you explain it please how it works compared to the lightning network? Or reference articles that explain it.

Is it a plugin to the blockchain.info accounts or does it work standalone? More info please.
