Waves now can send/receive using lite client. That's features it has for end users now.
Is it JAP?
Just Another Platform?
Or is it ARI?
A Real Innovator?

Well, first of all there is a really big and i will say again with capital letters BIG DIFFERENCE between NXT and WAVES. Waves has received a huge initial investment compared to NXT and this makes all the difference with marketing and future development, etc. Right now you only have the basics implemented, but so far they have managed to do interesting things like creating an easy to use lite wallet that runs on almost any browser and which can also be installed on chrome. It also runs on Scorex platform wich is a high level framework which stands for easy and fast development. I believe the potential will come when the fiat tokens will arrive, which was what Sasha tried to do with coinomat, but with almost no funding.
I like to compare waves with Nasdaq as i have seen some saying here on bitcointalk. It brings simplicity to the crypto world, something that was missing for a long time. There will be also a voting mechanism in the future so you can trade assets with well known users, but actually you should join the Slack chatroom to ask more about Waves, there are many people there talking about it.
As an investor i believe in the project for my own reasons which might me insufficient to convince you or anyone else. I will not talk about NXT and why Sasha left the project, you can ask him about it or watch the AMA videos available on the internet. But Waves was born with this vision, to bring the crypto to the masses and simplicity is the key here.
Thank u for posting this elaborated comment - I c that this sheds light on what Waves is trying to build.
