​​How do you regulate digital currencies? What does blockchain mean for global finance?

Don’t miss the CEO Sasha Ivanov at Astana Finance Days this 4 July. He will join a panel session along with other thought leaders in the space to discuss the implications of blockchain and how the technology is evolving. Also speaking at this 3-day event are a number of heads of states and other institutions, as well as international policy makers and leading academics.

This is something decided by the market, not by the team. You should better try to ask that to whales, which are actually making the market.

Waves remains hopeless if not for shielding questionable ICOs. A complete make over of the proposal may be required.

why markets jump ?

Closing big shorts on BTC suggested by twitter user REKT (@BitmexRekt) July 2, 2018 ?

Greetings. Not everyone needs DEX while using wallet, for example. The wallet will have simple UI of exchanger. In its turn DEX will get more features and functional just like a professional crypto exchange. It will be easier and more convenient for users.
There weren't any additional statements related to this situation. More details regarding this will be announced in our social media.

Kind regards,
Waves Community Manager.

Guys what is the deal with this tweet from Sasha? Is there any further detail or explanation about the separate exchange?

Greetings!


Kindly check the option of changing the language in the upper left corner of the page, please. Unfortunately, there is no any additional info about Vostok Platform. All the details will be transmitted via official Waves channels. Please stay in touch.

He said it in the article about Vostok. He said it's been 10 years since Bitcoin was created - why is it taking so long for a supposedly promising technology to gain traction? He was paraphrasing Bill Gates, the guy who stole the personal computer OS market that Gary Kildall had single-handedly created. In short, Gates bought a clone of CP/M and sold it to IBM while Kildall was still negotiating with them.

SIDENOTE (skip over for comments on Vostok)

When Kildall died, Gates used it as an opportunity for self-aggrandizement, saying that they were competitors, giving the impression that he won some mythical OS war. In fact, Microsoft at the time was a small software house making - mostly mediocre! - compilers and interpreters.

IBM initially visited Gates by mistake. Gates said, "I don't do operating systems - speak to Gary Kidall!" After Gates had bought the CP/M clone, he signed an agreement straightaway, saying, you just had to trust IBM, but the reason Kildall didn't sign straightaway was because he had an OS business to protect. Also, IBM had put obstacles in the way that were removed for Gates. Gates' mother knew the CEO of IBM, so that might have played a role, too, in Gates' success.

Later, Gates gave the impression that Kildall priced CP/M for the IBM PC at $240 vs $40 for DOS (the CP/M clone). But it was IBM who had done that - to kill it! Kildall could have sued IBM, but, instead, said that the market should decide, and IBM agreed to sell CP/M for the PC alongside DOS. Gates and IBM, effectively, conspired to destroy Kildall's firm. A decade or so later, Kildall went cap in hand to Gates, offering to sell his firm to Microsoft. Gates offered a paltry $10 million for it. Kildall later got over $100 million from Novell.

For the definitive account, get the paperback (NOT hardback) version of "They Made America" by Harold Evans. From that book: "But Kildall told him [Gerry Davis], 'Bill's a friend of mine. He wouldn't cut my throat'" Some friend!

Kildall wrote privately of Gates, "He is manipulative. He is a user. He has taken much from me and the industry."

Google "Gary Kildall and the 40th Anniversary of the Birth of the PC Operating System computerhistory"

Google "Gary Kildall and Collegial Entrepreneurship drdobbs" for an article in a well-known computer programming journal.

Search YT 4 "The Computer Chronicles: The Macintosh Computer (1985)" by user "Bob Blahloblaw"

Move slider to 14:23 and watch Kildall (he co-presented that program for six years) introduce GEM. GEM is what we would have got had Gates not stabbed a friend in the back. What Microsoft gave us:

Vostok is for SUPER WEALTHY INVESTORS ONLY using technology developed with money provided by Waves investors! So, the rest is simple inference. There is NOTHING stopping Sasha from later porting Waves over to Vostok and killing Waves.

No one with half a brain would trust the guy now. His job was to make Waves a success - NOT move on to another project - JUST HOW MUCH MONEY DOES HE WANT? But he has form in doing this.

As for Vostok - a completely separate project to Waves! - creating synergy: you might as well say every cryptocurrency out there gives Waves synergy, because they're all contributing to the development and uptake of blockchain technology. This is just a sop to gullible investors!


Well, it's what I read. I have no hard evidence - do you?

The Vostok website is only available in Russian for me. Even translation with Google translate gives no satisfying results. Can you answer my question about snapshot directly?

Where has he even said this? Don't spread random FUD or show proof.


Not supposedly, he manipulated the people he was "working with" and stole more than 200BTC, also a huge chunk of the supply of Bitbay. Just goes to show that even angel investors and billionaires don't always know how to vet people properly and that it's too easy for scumbags like Patrick Dai to get away with things like this and still become successful in the public spotlight.

Hello!
Sure. Waves currently have smart-contracts launched in testnet. Soon will be launched in mainnet. For other questions, which regards smart-contracts kindly write on our forum (Dev section already specified in the link) https://forum.wavesplatform.com/c/developers
And feel free to join  #smart-contracts channel on our Discord server https://discord.gg/cnFmDyA
Best regards, Waves Community Manager.

By using waves can smart contracts be created, and is there an emphasis on blockchain technology?

Should have said, but there is some dirt on the CEO of Qtum, Stephen/Patrick Dai - he supposedly ran off with the money from a previous venture, and changed his first name to hide his past. But Qtum has numerous people on board, including angel investors and a billionaire, so it's NOT all about Dai!

If you're looking for an Ethereum-type platform, check out Qtum (pronounced "quantum") - it's an Ethereum-Bitcoin hybrid: Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built on top of Bitcoin's unspent transactions output (UTXO) protocol that will eventually support multiple programming languages, not just Solidity. Qtum is able to benefit from the developments occurring on both the Bitcoin and Ethereum platforms - quite unique!

As for Waves competing with Ethereum - Ethereum is huge! - and that's why I don't think it was smart to create a new language for Waves. Waves needs traction - a new language just creates a barrier to Waves adoption.

I am invested in waves for a Pretty Long time now. But i just do not understand why this coin  has such a bad ranking at coinmarketcap, it has to be in the top 20

Sasha has said he's tired of Waves - that the corporate/government world and wealthy investors are more his cup of tea. He's dumped Waves, and Vostok is his new girlfriend! 

Waves is a very promising project built on an innovative blockchain platform. The prospect of this simple project is clear, I am sure it will succeed. I recommend buying some cards and hold them. I'm sure future prices will increase several times.

Does the Waves Platform have a promising future? Is it a product which could compete alongside Ethereum?

Today I read an article about Waves and Vostok on http://telegra.ph/How-Waves-community-benefits-from-Vostok-06-11

Are there any information available already when snapshot for Vostok will be?
