I use dApp. I think it was how I saw it first and have mostly stuck with that.
Though happy to be corrected.
Wikipedia has dapp, Dapp, dApp or DApp.
I prefer âTrustwareâ as Andreas Antonolpolous called it in his lectures on bitcoin scripting.
I wanted to vote dApp but misclicked is it not possible to change a poll vote?
Click hide results to show the poll again and then click on your preferred option.
I had to look it up on meta.discourse.org as it wasnât obvious how to do this.
Funny enough, this is trustless tech
@k06a created a poll in BokkyPooBahs-Ethereum-Workshop telegram
Note that itâs originally Äapp. The letter Ä (pronounced like G from giraffe in my country) is in fact the old English word Eth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth
But I usually do Dapp, which in my mind makes it into its own word rather than an abbreviation. - bitfalls
I have started just writing âdappâ.
In the end, when this becomes mainstream, all syntax will drop, and simplicity will win. So I think âdappâ will be how it ends up. - sonicsmith
In that case it should just be âappâ when itâs mainstream. Will the average joe in the world really care or understand decentralized? - MarkOSullivan
+1 for dApp. Iâm not sure how strong the logic is, but it just seems like it puts the emphasis on the âAppâ part which everyone understands and modifies it. - jconn93
Take your pick. Iâve worked in the online space for over 10 years and still canât figure out the correct terminology for simple terms like: Login / log in / log into the frontend / front end of my ecommerce / e-commerce / eCommerce website / web site. - ViperfishAU
This reminds me of the confusion between E-Mail, Email, and email. We know which one of those won so you can probably guess this one. Hint: itâs dapp. - Sargos
What is the case for capitalization? dapp. - belizeth
Nerds and their camelcase - WeLiveInaBubble
The same way I abbreviate centralised app - Mineburst
App or Ethereum App - johpfe
Why make the distinction? If the UX is good, users wonât have to know anything about the backend tech anyway. - petok
