I consider the view that #blockchain has no uses cases at all only a little less ignorant than the one that it solves everything.

Do you have examples for real world examples? Honest question since my initial interest got replaced by a "what the hell can we actually use it for".

besides selling drugs, it's very well suited for the adult industry: daho.am/speaker/janice-griff… :D joke aside, it can be useful selling things "the big players" don't want you to sell, so in certain political environments that might be useful

I should have excluded currencies from my question ...

I'd be happy to hear about a non-currency use case that brings some significant value, haven't found one so far

Exactly my point. With proof-of-work and no real advances in proof-of-stake I rule those out for the obvious ecological reasons. So I am really curious to find something outside the currency domain.

This is going to be a very predictable conversation. I mention a number of use cases, you explain to me how they can all be done centrally, I say doing them decentralized is the whole point, we agree to disagree, the end

Not my intent. I want to do things decentralized but at the same time I fail to see how that can be achieved with #blockchain. Transaction limit and proof-of-work are big limitations. I want to know what ways of using the tech exist that aren't hampered by these.

Proof-of-work in conjunction with transaction limits is not an issue if you batch transactions. No meaningful thing will be built 100% on-chain anyway. Dash masternodes were a good example last time I checked
