  • Unclear what the app does or what real use cases exist

    From 2 comments
    • This is a nice bundle of things to install, however what is the end result here? It seems to be an app that initializes web3 and saves a contract... a contract to do what? We…

    • What exactly does it do? Although it is such a buzzword nowadays I still have absolute zero idea about how are these "smart contract" things used and what Ethereum is if not "a…

  • Ethereum state is mutable, so it is not truly decentralized

    From 1 comment
    • If it's on Ethereum, it's not decentralised. Their state is mutable -- as per the DAO.

  • Privacy is not supported on public blockchains

    From 1 comment

    From 2 comments

  • What are smart contracts useful for?

    From 2 comments
    • A smart contract is a computer protocol intended to digitally facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract. Smart contracts allow the performance…
      qwerty456127 on HN
    • You're right. I also cannot think of anything useful that "smart" contracts can accomplish that a normal contract cannot. Also, wtf does "apps" mean? Can I run this "app" on my…
