Hi monbux!
Thank your for taking interest in the Waves Platform!
I am a Waves Slack member for 6 months now following the news daily and participating in the testing and development of Waves.
I respect your contribution to the worldwide crypto community very much.
Waves is a unique project in many ways.
1. It is the first blockchain technology written in the functional language Scala. With functional programming you can run things much faster and with much less LoC(lines of code) than with other languages. E.g. the Scorex Platform (which forms the foundation of Waves and which is also written in Scala) implemented the same functionality as Bitcoin with only 4000 LoC compared to BTC's 90k LoC!
2. Waves has rolled out custom asset creation on testnet last week. Mainnet release is imminent. Now everybody will be able to create his/her/its own assets very easily. This can be used for e.g crowdfunding, to distribute shares in a company etc...
3. Waves will also implement a decentralized asset exchange to trade your custom assets and any type of assets(e.g. BTC/ETH assets, USD/EUR/YUAN assets).
4. Fiat gateways are under way which will enable custom assets conversion(e.g. collected during a fundraising campaign of the Waves Platform) to fiat.
5. With LPOS everybody will be able to lease stakes to trusted nodes and earn money from transaction fees.
6. Also the features secure messaging, blockchain voting, prediction market(analog to Augur), decentralized reputation system and smart contracts are under way.
7. I have read the white paper of the coming scalability update. Waves' blochchain growth will be 1/10 of what ETH currently has. This solution will form the foundation for a high tx load network(>1000tx/sec)
8. The project has a very low burn rate $70k/months and with $16M collected during the ICO Sasha has enough money for marketing and advertising.
As for Poloniex:
A Slack member of ours(who is also BTC talk legendary member) has a direct contact to one of Poloniex's owners and asked him this question about two months ago. The answer was basically that they were waiting for the release of the full node which happened only two weeks ago. After that they have to do a code review and plan the listing. This could take several weeks.
Hope big exchanges will list incent in the coming weeks. waves full nodes is shooting the waves on top of bittrex first page.
Like Waves the main exchange will be bittrex. So it looking hard for Incent to get listed on poloniex due to they are using Waves platform.
I'm sure this was already answered, but why has poloniex not listed waves on their exchange?
