WAVES is also by the NXT team right? I think i heard something like that.
Not really by the NXT team. Waves is created by a few members of the Nxt Community (Coinomat).
for real? buhahaha
Waves copies a project called scorex that's not stable enough to be used as a coin. It's for devs to try new ideas out on. The scorex announcement thread warns cloners are selling it in ICOs and advises not to buy into them.
Scorex can switch between the Nxt consensus algo and the Qora consensus algo by changing one line of code. It's only for experiments, and intentionally not production-ready.
Is that why the waves "network" was
shut down for over five hours today for "maintenance"?
Scorex is less than _4K lines of Scala code_. Transactions layer is as simple as just tokens transfers. Consensus algo could be switched easily(with two consensus algos out of the box, one could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited!)
* Major coins forks are trying to make IPO immediately, often having just one or two pretty controversial features introduced. **Scorex is intentionally not production-ready**, so please participate in any non-commercial experiments built on top of it, but don't buy tokens unless you are 100+% sure what are you doing.
Features
* Two 100% Proof-of-Stake consensus algos out of the box, Nxt-like and Qora-like. One algo could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited (in Constants.scala)
