after lisk, dao n waves all Ico hype has gone......will be hard to make any serious launch in the near future even if legit
Do we know who are involved in waves? in what other projects have they worked? or is this another "anonymus" developers "project"? Scam demand is really high lately...I'm really curious...
this summer

And thne maybe waiting a day or two for the first pump.

LSK/Max should perhaps approach Charles Hoskinson at that conference, he was a founder of BTS, played a significant role in Ethereum and I think is somehow involved in the tech behind Waves but not endorsing it/involved. So if there's something he's working on that could be applied to/help LSK that could be a valuable association.
I know, my total Waves fell almost 20000 on the final day, that was crazy how much they got at the end.
Quote from: Ander on June 01, 2016, 11:41:17 pmEveryone loaded up on Waves right? I cycled some Lisk profits into it.Lol I grabbed a little bit. Can't believe how huge the ICO became. Curious to see where it goes.

One of the exciting uses of WAVES lies in its adoption by the traditional finance sector where the financial institutions can support and issue WAVES tokens in place of legal tenders and financial instruments. These tokens, carrying the same value as the assigned fiat currency can then be used for making transactions, maintaining cash reserves and more. It will also enable KYC and AML enabled blockchain services depending upon the segment of the industry it is being used in.The WAVES platform operates on a proof of stake protocol and shares many similarities with Ethereum and Ripple protocols. The system is expected to share few similarities with Ethereum’s Casper and Ripple-like gateways for transactions.If it achieves mass adoption, then WAVES can be used to create multiple decentralized applications catering for multiple sectors, all operating over a single blockchain. It will also help the institutions maintain different degrees of transparency in their operations along with the inclusion of decentralized KYC/AML process integration.
It is a time of significant ICOs, with other recent offerings raising millions of dollars in funding. WAVES has similarly caught the interest of the cryptocurrency community and proven extremely popular – boding extremely well for the development and marketing of the platform in the coming weeks and months. With a focus on user adoption, crowdfunding and integration for fiat tokens, development on WAVESis continuing throughout the ICO and the first lite clients should be ready for use at the end of the fundraiser, or shortly after the process finishes.

Holy crap, $2m in 24 hours without having even a prototype of product. Internet is really full of naive idiots.

Ps. Someone mentioned Lisk as a copy of ETH... As I see it Lisk is talking english (c++ javascript, html), ETH japanise (c). There is always a reason why people contribute that much so feel free not to talk how bad others are, but to talk how good they are..
It doesn't matter do they have better or worst tech then BTS, only thing that matters here is their interface.

10 second blocktimesno smartcoins (only colored coins)yawn..
You own the network, but who pays for development?
At the next phase of the system’s development, we will encourage real businesses to issue their stock on Waves blockchain.
Not a bad idea really:1. Everyone here pledge some of Lisk (that we will be compensated for at the average selling price when Lisk becomes liquid).2. Someone (call him the Orchestrator), creates a UIA from the total pool and builds a market in bitUSD like this:1000 bitLisk at 0.10 bitUSD each2000 bitLisk at 0.15 bitUSD each3000 bitLisk at 0.20 bitUSD each4000 bitLisk at 0.25 bitUSD eachetc.This will create a buzz around the BitShares platform for the next three weeks that is worth it's weight in bitGOLDThis will make people try the BitShares wallet and experience the kickass-ness first hand.Then when the Lisk is liquid, all of us who pledged Lisk, send them to the Orchestrator who sends the winners their Lisk as the owners of bitLisk redeem them for the real thing. The Orchestrator sends us bitUSD (average selling price) for our Lisk.To make this easier for the orchestrator we can make 1 bitLisk redeemable for something larger like 100 Lisk, so that there are not a million redeemers who want Lisk dust.If we are lucky, those who buy bitLisk will try to resell it on the market before the Lisk becomes liquid, and we will have a fully functioning free market of Lisk/bitUSD that we can brag about and create buzz, and teach people about BitShares.To compensate the Orchestrator, we can all pitch in and pay him like $xxx I know that Ander said that he bought some, and I would pledge some. Who else would pledge some, and who wants to be the Orchestrator (tell us your fee).Overall, great idea. All we have to do to teach the world about BitShares is to pool risk.This is an effective way to leverage all the buzz created by the Lisk team before they become the world's largest DPOS cryptocurrency. The best case scenario is that we remain the world's largest DPOS after Lisk launches.What do you say guys?Who's up to defend our first mover advantage?But overall, it looks like a DPOS community helping another DPOS community, bringing buzz to us all!TO INFINITY AND BEYONDDDDDDD BITCOINNNNNN
Not worth the risk?Dude, what the fuk r u smoking, and can you please pass it on over! You're obviously not getting it. What is 700 wallet downloads worth to us right now?! Or 200 new unique people learning how to use BitShares. Or 20 people getting hooked on mainlining smartcoins worth?!?!?!?! Ever hear of "marketing"??Yes, you are correct that there is no way to prove that we are going to send the Lisk to the buyers of bitLisk.and Yes, our "Orchestrator" can just run off with the bitUSD that the purchasers of bitLisk sent him.But if the Orchestrator is, say for instance, Fuzzy, and we restrict the people allowed to pledge to those of us who told us their address:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivwuANB1Syo#t=5m56sThen, if anyone gets scammed here, the next BitShares road trip will be a video of me and Tuck driving to Philly and kicking soms bitAsshole's ass!!Get it.We leverage the trust that we have built up within our community, against the hype brought forth by the Lisk developers to create BITSHARZZ buzz! What's the matter, don't you trust Fuzzy? You calling Riverhead a liar and a thief?I trust those guys. Do you?And what is that trust worth, and what can we use it for ?And what can we gain by putting it to the test?If we can't even hold a simple risk pool among our community, then how can we expect people to trust our "federation of delegates" which is the heart of our "trustless" network!If we don't trust our community then no one will.The trust of our community is our greatest asset, and I would have to say that it is currently underutilized. Disagree with that statement!Should we stop trusting Stan and Dan?What about Fuck the Man?The reason why there is no Lisk market currently is because there is no trustworthy group of people supporting one. Trustworthy groups are hard to find. and if you had a trustworthy group today, then you could do something unprecedented (create a Lisk market and get every troll on the trollbox talking about BTS)(duh?). Gee where can I find a trustworthy community....Geee let me think....If I only had a trustworthy community, then I could bring new users to BitShares..... hmmmmm...Are we trustworthy?What is our community's reputation worth?Let's find out. The higher the price of Lisk rises, the more people trust our "federation of servers" that lies at the core of BitSharesAnd take another step back further, what are we talking about :a few hundred bucks for a few hundred wallet downloads?hell, that's worth it for the exposure alone!Hell, if Fuzzy runs off with the $400 kitty, never to be seen from again, I'm sure that me, uncle onceuponatime, Tuck, Ronny, Cob, KenCode, and maybe even the great superfan Stan himself could pool together the difference just to save the community the embarrassment!Why on earth would Stan screw us? He's the hippest cat I know:http://www.popsugar.com/tech/Popular-Internet-Slang-Words-37912438#photo-37912463so chillax poopers, I'm trying to party hererelaxit's all righthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk8RuIM2NmA#t=56s

Anonymity, smart contracts, 2.0, storage, proof-of-audit, blockchain-as-a-service… What will WAVES’ unique selling point be?A: We're focusing on mass adoption. It might seem to be a little pretentious, but our focus is exactly that - we're building the system with a very flat learning curve, with interfaces familiar from online banking and trading experiences, integrated fiat currencies, and with the main user client being just a browser plugin. After the plugin installation a user has a decentralized kickstarter/payment system functionality right in ther browser!LOL the type of answer that answers nothing. Every project wants mass adoption. I'm yet to know what their unique selling point is. What functionalities will they focus on? What will be the main objective of whatever they're building?Honestly this kind of seems like bitshares, just on a different chain.
