Topic: What kind of service is the actual "Killer App" for Bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 1174 times)
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.
I'd have to really think about it to define what the best one would be. I'd say that a app that enables you to get bitcoin in < 10 minutes would probably go big. At the moment acquiring Bitcoin is not as easy as it should be.
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.

I've been involved in Bitcoin and this community for a long while now, and I have seen many Bitcoin services rise, being promised as the killer app that would greatly increase adoption, and then fail or just change to something entirely different, or just not meet the expectations. These range from remittance services to lotteries.
What exactly do you guys think is a service that will actually benefit the rest of the population? It doesn't have to "increase adoption" or anything of the sort, it just has to use the blockchain/bitcoin in some way and another.
