I mean... there are a few.
Brave (the browser) uses blockchain in their privacy protecting ad technology.
Skynet uses a blockchain to allow users to share their extra computer storage space for a CDN.
And I'm sure there are a few others. It's just that the amount of use cases send legitimate applications using them are... limited. Most of the ones I'd consider valid uses have a substance-full technical goal, like the two I mentioned above.

- TheMblabla 6y agoIirc the idea behind brave is to create a sustainable alternative to the ad/data collection of big tech. They use blockchain to enable microtransactions for content.
- martin_a 6y agoSo, we are back to flattr, PayPal recurring payments or whatnot again. $localNewspaper not go through the hassle of dealing with payments through blockchain technology.
- miedpo 6y agoNot really. Some people do that. Most just leave it on auto-contribute which means you'd get paid per view. It's also not terribly hard to get verified so you get paid. As long as someone is reasonably familiar with technology, I think it'd be pretty easy for them. Haven't tried it for myself though (but the guide is up there so you can see it for yourself if your curious).
