Ask HN: Have you used Ethereum computing platfrom in production?
Hi all,
Ethereum advertises itself as a[1]:
decentralized platform that runs smart contracts:
applications that run exactly as programmed without
any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or
third party interference.
These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an
enormously powerful shared global infrastructure
that can move value around and represent the ownership
of property.
I wonder then, has anyone so far built anything on top of it?
Anything that is used in production and replaces actual more `traditional' computing platforms such as cloud.

- gnazarkin 9y agoWhen I was first playing around with it and learning Solidity I created something that allows any party to deploy an escrow smart contract that releases deposited funds when a condition is met using an Oracle. Thought about how decentralized deals between parties could be made in the future on Ethereum and verified by an Oracle. You can find it here - http://dealmate.io/ http://dealmate.io/. It doesn't replace 'traditional' computing, but allows for a whole new set of features and possibilities that 'traditional' cloud computing isn't best suited for. BTW, it's just a prototype and not really used for real transactions, at least yet.
