Let's compile a list of all known
DACs. I added what I know
to the Bitcoin wiki.
Bitcoin, the first DAC?
Bitcoin forks
Ripple Labs is borderline ... they are a registered company and could be ordered to shutdown. The protocol is perhaps a DAC.
Mastercoin, a DAC replacement for Forex, Shares, and much more.
ProtoShares, a meta DAC with the purpose of privding infrastructure for other DACs. It is composed of
- DomainShares, a DAC replacement for Namecoin
- BitShares, a competitor to Mastercoin (with much more limited feature set IMHO)
- Keyhotee, a DAC replacement for OpenID
- LuckyShares, a DAC that decentralized gambling
- VoteShares, a Decentralized, Authenticated, Anonymous voting system.
- Other infrastructure components to follow... ?
Mitosys - a DAC replacement for Bit-Message
Colored Coins are working on defining themselves as a DAC ... I haven't seen a working business model yet.
