Endless search? FileCoin is used to pay for IPFS. BTT is used to pay for faster downloads speeds.
There are lots of others. My own company has spent 3 years building way more applications that you can see here https://intercoin.org/applications https://intercoin.org/applications
They're open source, and fully documented, try to use them! We're currently building interfaces to power them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySi-wOB28y0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySi-wOB28y0
We also have an Intercoin Show every week where I interview some well-known people in the space. Some examples:
Ian Clarke, founder of Freenet, about decentralized systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWrRqUkJpMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWrRqUkJpMQ
Sara Hanks, author of Regulation S, about regulations: https://community.intercoin.org/t/interview-with-sara-hanks-ceo-and-co-founder-of-crowdcheck https://community.intercoin.org/t/interview-with-sara-hanks-...
Thomas Greco, community currency economics: https://community.intercoin.org/t/interview-with-thomas-h-greco-community-currency-economist/ https://community.intercoin.org/t/interview-with-thomas-h-gr...
This is what we are working to accomplish: https://intercoin.org/proposal.pdf https://intercoin.org/proposal.pdf
- naet 4y agoWhen you actually drill into what filecoin is and how it works you realize it's literally worse than any other form of data backup that I've heard of. No sane engineer would ever use it for any reason other than it being related to the crypto industry. It offers far worse utility than using AWS S3 buckets, at a far higher price, and with tons more risks for no upsides. And that is a perfect metaphor for 99% of crypto "usecases"
