I call complete bullshit on this. I want the same thing, and so so many other people. The only reason we don’t have it is that it’s a lot of work and nobody has done it yet.
Blaming Apple for their business standing in the way of network effects is just an excuse.
If the software was built, we’d find a way to run it.
- saurik 5y agoWell, claim what you will, but the Ethereum community has been making great strides in these areas, but Apple has forced all of the wallets to remove their dApp browsers and has caused companies such as mine to have to spend immense amounts of time trying to figure out how to build fiat payment gateways for cryptocurrencies over Apple in-app-purchases rather than working on our actual decentralized product as we got rejected from the App Store due to failing to give Apple their cut.
- zepto 5y agoAgain, just false. Nobody has built anything like the whole stack needed for a secure distributed App Store with private payments. It’s obvious you can’t build such a thing on top of Apple’s store, it’s just not credible to claim to be trying and being stopped by Apple. You could build one for Linux or Android. If you actually made it work, then it would be existence proof that a centralized model is not needed for a private and secure store. That hasn’t been proven and the way to prove it is clearly to build it where it can be built, not to make arguments about Apple’s bad faith.
