Re: [ANN][AppCoin] Worlds first popular App to become DApp

Where is the smart contract being used in this situation?

There's no smart contracts yet. Those will come out in 6 to 12 months and is part of the 2nd phase towards decentralization. I haven't decided on a code base yet.

I'm considering:

IBM HyperLedger
Eris Tendermint
Ethereum 2.0 PoS
Synereo

But of course another platform may come out that's better then all those.

At first the bitcoin blockchain and counterparty will secure the only digital asset. I'll begin a new blockchain and that digital asset will be moved over into the genesis block.

Last I checked the definition of a DApp was an App that utilizes smart contracts so... no smart contracts means.. :^)

DApp means decentralized application

Yes, decentralized application. The App is a traditional centralized mobile app. It's quite popular. The transition to 100% decentralized is going to take many years. I haven't been impressed with any blockchain enough to go ahead and start using it for this project. In my mind this is a huge benefit for the platform. I can work away perfecting the UX experience and then plug in the backend blockchain and reputation systems once they're more mature and scalable.
