As the yr draws to a unopen I would similar to listing off a few projects that I honor interesting too would similar to run across railroad train farther inwards 2016. So, inwards no detail order...
Sidechains
For those that don't know what
Liquid doesn't alive upwards to the hope of Sidechains, I nevertheless believe that
Sidechains are a really of import technology that I'd dear to run across on the Bitcoin MainNet too Blockstream is likely the most probable companionship to choose us the technology. Here's for hoping nosotros mightiness larn the required soft-fork at the same fourth dimension nosotros fix the blocksize problem...
Tether
I loved the thought behind
digital IOUs for their deposits. This inwards plow would permit people to construct currency exchanges too other fiscal services without having to rely on reinventing the cycle too equally good getting all the banking setup needed to practice a consummate product. Moreover, if you'd accept multiple exchanges using the same fiat IOUs, it would live theoretically possible to accept really fast exchange-exchange village inwards both BTC too fiat allowing for ameliorate arbitrage.
While I mightiness disagree alongside the choice of engineering scientific discipline too a few pattern decisions of how Tether operates, I'm nevertheless really much interested inwards seeing this concept developed further.
Bitcoin bridges
H5N1
bridge is a service allowing 1 to seamlessly transfer money inwards too out of a network. While the term itself is mainly used inwards Crypto 2.0 networks similar Ripple, nosotros accept a few examples of bridges cropping upwards inwards the Bitcoin infinite equally good -
Coins.ph,
Living Room of Satoshi (both outbound bridges, doing BTC->fiat), or
BitWage (essentially an inbound fiat->BTC bridge). Having such bridges functional inwards to a greater extent than countries would permit us to commencement edifice to a greater extent than or less pretty interesting solutions inwards the nigh future...
Abra
Abra is a peer-to-peer remittance projection (still inwards development) that is said to exercise Bitcoin inwards the background to practice international settlement. It tin railroad train into a really interesting projection is handled correctly, maybe becoming the Uber of remittance. Unfortunately, since everything is nevertheless inwards development, at that spot isn't much else to larn on. Hopefully 2016 volition choose us to a greater extent than or less to a greater extent than low-cal on the subject.
Interledger
Interledger is an interesting initiatory to practice a payment protocol that could piece of job across multiple ledgers / blockchains / banking networks. If implemented correctly, it could augment the technologies similar Tether, bridges, Ripple too a few others too maybe choose us to a greater extent than or less actually interesting projects inwards the future. However, similar alongside whatever projection that size, I incertitude nosotros volition run across much progress inwards simply a years time, but fourth dimension volition tell.
R3CEV
It seems that at that spot are to a greater extent than rumours too discussions of said rumours well-nigh what
R3CEV does on diverse social media, rather than actual data from informed sources. However, alongside
the amount of banks involved and
some of the people on the team, the projection is inwards perfect seat to deliver us a lot of interesting tidings over the adjacent year.
Ethereum
While
Ethereum has launched this year, I nevertheless mean value nosotros haven't run across it accomplish its total potential. Using it feels similar a developer-grade software, rather than a consumer application. I would similar to run across what novel too interesting applications are developed on the platform inwards the coming year.
Codius
Unfortunately from what I heard, the
smart oracles, inwards which everyone could review the code that the oracle was to execute. This would permit for a lot of interesting projects - decentralized voting pools for cryptocurrencies, automated arbitrage bots, distributed messaging too and then on. While I'm non asset my hopes up, it would live interesting to run across the projection revisited inwards the upcoming year.
Conclusions
So that's my listing of projection I'm looking forwards to hearing to a greater extent than skillful tidings well-nigh inwards 2016. Beyond that, I hope nosotros lastly figure out how to scale our Bitcoin blockchain, accept a generally uneventful halvening upshot too non experience much of a dip inwards the money price. Here's for hoping for to a greater extent than or less other bully yr inwards the Bitcoin world!
To the moon!
