The term dapp on Ethereum should die Thread

I don't see anything big wrong with calling it a function, subprogram, or routine, perhaps prefixed (e.g. "dFunction" or "trust-minimized function" or "blockchain function").
"Smart contract" like "contract" connotes a deal between people, but a deal intermediated and incentivized by dynamic machine-interpreted rules instead of the statically recorded human-interpreted rules of a traditional contract.

As such it encompasses the UI and any other off-chain activities necessary to verify and incentivize or automate performance of the deal.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Can't Smart Contract also connote a deal between machines? e.g. Smart fridge (Machine 1) notices that stock of milk is exhausted & "presses" Amazon Dash-like button (Machine 2), which places order for milk on Amazon website (Machine 3).
-
What if the user of the fridge no longer wants milk? Ultimately it's a deal between people.

Ah, good point. Agreed.
