> The UI, and such is all run by some centralized entity. The UI has to be white listed, but dapps can be cached locally. There's a lot of argument about what is centralized and decentralized. It's quite a polarizing debate. > If the App needs cryptocurrency in order to work, you have to run your own wallet. To read from the app it generally won't require cryptocurrency. > (1) I need to run my own “geth” daemon There are public nodes (i.e. Infura) for Ethereum dapps. > I would think it’d be better if the UI and API was hosted on a blockchain, and there was some kind of UI (browser?) with an embedded wallet, and agent to be able to interact with contracts.

Toshi is developed by Coinbase. There are a few other projects as well like Status. It's very early days though. Blockchain typically has low TPS and the alternatives are very complex. I'm hoping technology like Hashgraph or Hashgraph-like will deprecate state channels and payment channels.
