I have waves in my waves lite app. I never downloaded the desktop. So i need to first do this or not?
Then i go to that site and post my waves address? And that is all then i can get that airdrop? When is that airdrop going to occur? Or did it already did?
So 1 already has happened? I did not know this because i assumed since i have waves in my waves lite app and lease them, i would get anything that is given out...
Thanks.
Lite Client is out of date and we strongly recommend all our users to install a Desktop Client and migrate their accounts. You can install a Desktop Client for your OS here https://wavesplatform.com/products-exchange
To be eligible for the giveaway, you should sign a transaction via Waves Keeper or just send a small transaction to the certain address. All the details in regard to the second phase of the Vostok airdrop are mentioned on the following website https://vostok.wavesplatform.com/
After that, just fill in your Waves account address on the website which was provided above and check whether you got Verified status. When you will be able to see it, the only one thing left for you is to hold your WAVES and/or WCT assets within your address.
The distribution for both rounds of Vostok airdrop will be held when the latest snapshot of the second round which is scheduled for May 31 will be successfully ended. Soon after this, the VST token will be available for trading.

Hi. I dont need to send waves anywhere though. You say sign a transaction, that is done on that site vostok you posted? You say send small transaction to certain address. It could be any or has to be a certain address?
Okay so first vostok airdrop happened. How long was this ago? Can you tell me what ppl got for that? Example say you have 1000 waves, what did those people get? Also is that why waves price dropped a lot because of that airdrop? I was completely unaware of this. You say this is 2nd phase so 1st phase already happened?
Okay i have till like May to do this and this does not need to be done soon?
Hello, kindly check the link with the details of the airdrop where you can easily find special Waves address to send small amount of WAVES or even authorize with Waves Keeper https://vostok.wavesplatform.com. The first phase was ended at the end of March. The total distribution for both phases are supposed to be done at the beginning of June. Please stay in touch.
Okay i downloaded the waves desktop client. But when it ask me to import accounts,
I chosed waves lite client and then it says no accounts found
We were unable to retrieve your accounts. Please restore them by using their backup seeds.
And to click I understand
Is there a reason i got this message? Do i need waves lite client opened before i click i understand?
So i have to put in my 12 word seed then?
Also i did download waves app on my nano ledger s but i never did the process to connect it. So that obviously means its not import accounts from your ledger device right?
Feel free to use an instruction for importing your account with some clicks https://docs.wavesplatform.com/en/waves-client/account-management/account-migration.html

Now the question. What functions will this token perform and where?
Hello Ukraine2020! Vostok utility tokens are used for validating transactions on the blockchain. To use Vostok blockchain for projects, you will need to have a required balance of tokens, depending on throughput, expected number of transactions etc. You can find more information about Vostok project by using this site - https://vostok.io/

Hello, Waves Community Manager! Thanks for the answer.
Yes, I know it. But then what is the difference from Waves blockchain?
How do I understand - the difference in the areas where it will be used?
Hello! Thank you for your question.
Waves blockchain is an open source with the main idea of mass adoption. Vostok blockchain is based on the same algorithm as Waves (https://docs.wavesplatform.com/en/waves-environment/waves-protocol/fair-pos.html) but available for a limited group of users, designed for providing blockchain services to a corporate and governmental segment.
Best wishes,

Hello! Mutually! Thank you for your reply!
Got it. What are the technological features of Blockchain Vostok?
By the way, as I understand it, I can still buy more Waves before the airdrop?
Hello, Vostok features not just blockchain but also technologies for artificial intelligence, IoT, systematizing and analysis of big data etc. More details about the project and its development will appear soon on our social media accounts and on Medium.
In addition, Vostok system integrator is being created, which will help companies to implement blockchain-solutions based on Vostok and Waves in their IT infrastructure.
I read on that link you can participate in that Vostok airdrop by either
1. Copy and pasting your waves address
or
2. Send 0.0001 waves to this address

So both the same thing? But if you do 1, you click auth with waves keeper below? Is there anything else you need to do after that? But you still need to install that extension right?
So is it safer just sending 0.0001 waves to that waves address instead?
Both ways are possible: authorize with Waves Keeper or send a transaction to a special address, you can choose any you like. So, when you chose any, you can easily check then whether your address has been verified by pasting your Waves address into the search line here https://vostok.wavesplatform.com
Okay so type in my 15 word seed from waves. Is everyone else 15 words or some ppl have 12?
Then i look and that waves address below should my waves address correct?
Then it ask you to put name for account and password. I see it says enter a new password. So choose a completely different password and do not use the same old waves password with lite waves client?
Then check all those 3 boxes?
Yes, 12 and 15 words is possible. If you did everything right, you should see the same address as you used in Lite Client. You need to set the password to protect your wallet locally. You can choose the password any time you restore the access to your account with the SEED phrase, it should be the same for one wallet Desktop or Online.
After i type say the 5th word of my seed, it displays a waves address... then when i type in my 6th word, say the 1st letter, a new address shows up... i type 2nd letter of my 6th word, another waves address shows up. Does that make sense?
Im confused why does this happen?
The generating addresses process just goes on.
Seems to me cover all your questions above. Feel free to ask again if something was missed.
