Topic: What kind of service is the actual "Killer App" for Bitcoin? (Read 1174 times)
It's like asking what would be the Facebook or the Google of Bitcoin. It's really hard to think something like that but some day it's just going to happen. Maybe someone from the community will be the one who invents it or someone else, we will see.
in my opinion, any of the big (or semi big) online services that process payment or deal with money like buying and selling stuff that starts accepting bitcoin is going to be the killer app (service) that everybody is looking forward to.
for example if something like Amazon starts accepting bitcoin, it would become a revolution in bitcoin popularity and mass adoption.

Vineyard's apps:
Coinhopper, bitcoin flapper,...
Users can play these games, and get some bitcoin in return... So they have to download a wallet, and they're on their way to become bitcoin users

You forgot to add their latest game which is bitcoin basketball and its kinda fun too! But I don't think vineyard's apps will be a killer app though.
Purse.io ! FTW

Global remittance together with low cost local exchanges is the killer application of bitcoin.
Bitcoin itself is the "killer app" which provides monetary freedom in a world with ever increasing capital controls.
Most people fear freedom and responsibility though, so don't expect the "mainstream" to get involved any time soon.

Yes, this! Bitcoin should be considered in its entirety a killer application with many different use cases. You see that even governments cannot make a agreement and classify Bitcoin the same. For some it's a commodity, for some currency, for some it's nothing.
You have a technology that allows you to send someone half around the world money and to have it readily available for spending in about 10 minutes even on Sunday, this is a pretty damn good killer application right away for me.
A bitcoin "Kille" app would be an app that would fix a major issue for bitcoin user. A major issue of the bitcoin protocol is the long transaction time, so an app that could solve it could be the next "Killer" app.
IMO making such app is easy. The app just calculates the minimum tx fees for the transaction to be included in the next block. If you are willing to pay that amount of fees, there will be no problems to get your tx confirmed in the next 10 minutes. 
It's not all the govenment fault in all cases. Bitcoin would be dead if people starts dumping it. Thus no more investors. No more bitcoins. 
No, btc's ecosystem is improving and having is approaching! Ppl probably see this is a great opportunities to stash up their bitcoin holding! BTC may skyrocket in one day. What is the point of dumping it? 
But the problem is cellphones are really not very secured platforms for doing such transactions, if you use it through some kind of banking app to an exchange that let you buy BTC with your interact/debit card, then its a lot of personal information you're chugging through with very weak security.
What may work better is an app that let you substitute a BTC payment with a debit payment by going through a payment processor.
It doesn't have to be huge amounts. I doubt that someone would try to hack your phone for $50. This is not a process that is simply done. Besides, a lot of people use various applications exposing a lot of their credentials.

Most people are afraid of freedom? That's doubtful at best. The problem is that they're ignorant and deluded (+ stuck in the past).

An app that acts as or offer some kind of another layer of protection to make our transaction anonymous/untraceable without having to use a third party services to mix the coins and charge us a fee. I'm not sure how it can be done, I can't imagine if that is possible but something with that kind of feature would be cool. For sure, it will enhance bitcoins reputation

if youtube or any other big business, would pay you in bitcoin for your viewers, just throwing it there
i can't think of something else which can make bitcoin more popular at the moment

That would bring some serious micropayments! How would you envision it checking if you actually watch the movie? Answer a short captcha about the movie at the end or something?
Would be quite hard for a new service to get the movie volume, maybe porn could give an additional reward to its viewers?

It's not a service, it's greed.
a app with a feature that lets you send money without transaction fees perhaps? would be a good idea. a chat feature would be nice too
This would be really difficult to build since you would need a system that would convert the btc to fiat, and all of them usually charge a fee transaction.
