TechCrunch hat geschrieben:So why is less VC money flowing into Ethereum? Perhaps it is more risky, and perhaps investments in failed bitcoin companies has lowered interest. Perhaps. But importantly, entrepreneurs now have an alternate route for funding their projects. We are seeing entrepreneurs issuing their own blockchain-based tokens to raise money for their networks, sidestepping the traditional, exclusive world of venture capital altogether. The importance of this cannot be overstated — in this new world there are no companies, just protocols.

Using this new model, entrepreneurs create blockchain-based tokens that represent ownership in the network they are building, and also act as fuel for their network. For an investor, there are not shares of a company available, only the blockchain-based token. As the blockchain space expands, disproportionate returns will go to holders of the actual tokens, not traditional venture investors betting on a shares of a company. These tokens are application specific — they are not meant to be general-purpose units of value like bitcoin. For example, tokens built on Ethereum like REP and GNT power a decentralized prediction market and a peer-to-peer market for renting computation, respectively.

These application-specific tokens, or app-tokens, are built on top of existing general-purpose blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. For the first time, open-source project creators can directly monetize their open-source network. Historically, successful open-source projects like the torrent protocol or the Tor network were not directly monetized at the protocol level. Now, the founder of a decentralized file storage network can issue blockchain-based tokens that represent ownership in the network.

OK, ist eher Blockchain im Allgemeinen als Bitcoin-spezifisch. Aber interessante Anwendung.

Bwana Honolulu hat geschrieben:Es geht hier primär um 'ne Altchain, aber nicht zwangsläufig 'ne Altcoin. Also Altchain = 'ne Blockchain mit 'ner anderen Anwendung als (nur) 'ner Kryptowährung (Namecoin ist z.B. ein "halbes" Beispiel, weil hier neben der Währungsfunktion auch noch eine zweite Funktion besteht, nämlich ein dezentrales, zensurfreies DNS. Ähnlich ist das beim erwähnten Ethereum, das zwar auch Bezahlfunktion hat (Ether), aber halt auch diese Blockchain-basierten Smart Contracts bietet). Von daher stellt sich die "erste Frage" hier nicht unbedingt, oder lässt sich durch die Zusatzfunktion beantworten.

fehlgeleitet hat geschrieben:da könnte man doch im Grunde existierende Bitcoins verwenden und diese zu Anteilen am Netzwerk erklären oder?

Also beispielsweise ich bin Domaininhaber von A23 und kaufe einen Bitcoin und sage: Wer immer diesen Bitcoin besitzt besitzt das Netzwerk A23. Wenn jetzt jemand genau 20% von A23 kauft, überweise ich ihm auch 20% dieses Bitcoins.

funktioniert das so?
