Topic: WAVES has come A LONG WAY in the last two and half years! - page 2. (Read 316 times)

You can't manipulate the fact that it is fastest, decentralised blockchain in existence - extensively documented.

Waves is good platform, but
"Waves is not hyped - the team prefer to just develop and build a strong community"
- maybe a little hype need add to waves community to be strong.

Waves is always described as a undervalued. But even the times everything was pumping, waves didn't pump that much. Community couldn't like it some reason.

What is so great about their mobile app other than their cover? nothing much significant compared to any other mobile app.
for you, it is a great thing but for some people, it does not. if I remember it correctly.
at first, when they said about that Vostok thing, we were hearing an outrage from the community even though it is good for the waves itself.
even if they are announcing this next week, who knows what will happen right? cryptocurrency is full of manipulation, the only reason why this coins got pumped so hard due to a long phase of accumulation.

Last week they released the mobile 2 app - I checked it out and in my view is the most polished professional crypto app I have yet seen.

This week I think they make some big announcement about their Vostok project - Vostok is the consulting wing of Waves methinks.

I notice it's gone from 50 to 25 place in CoinMarketCap and, apart from fiatcoins, is just about only thing pumping.

Any big news?

While Ethereum's launch started 'Blockchain2', with the on-chain computational possibilities, it dropped the ball with regard to performance and cost. Whilst all the hype and pump was happening, not just with Ethereum but also all the 'cutnpaste' uncompliant ICOs, people overlooked the severe performance issues and high transactional costs. It's disappointing that with all the resources they had available, the Ethereum team didn't address these issues and are now late to the party.

Before Waves launched in 2016, the founders realised the importance of the features that Ethereum spearheaded and employed but realised that the platform would need to be able to satisfy 3 key citeria;

1: Mass uptake ready - the blockchain would need to be the fastest available and highest capacity available. Basic features like token creation and trading would need to be native to the system - enabling highest performance and lowest transactional cost. Sponsored transactions were needed so that businesses could launch a token and take care of transaction costs as part of their business model.

2: The consensus algorithm would need to be POS - and the current Leased POS was employed. A new model for Smart Contracts was needed (especially after the DAO) that promoted safe code and reasonable cost of computation.

3: The user software, API's and documentation would need to be state of the art and World class.

Initially many ideas were taken from NEXT and Ethereum to acheive these goals, but the software itself was developed using the SCALA language to provide the best balance of performance, stability and portability. All the UI elements were built out using best practices in HTML5/Node stacks.

Whilst other platforms, much newer than Ethereum or Waves gave up on basic cryptocurrency red lines, for example distributed nodes and permissionless models, Waves, like Ethereum, has stayed true to the Open, Distributed and Permissionless model which is what makes cryptocurrency so cool.

Waves is not hyped - the team prefer to just develop and build a strong community - but for anyone who hasn't heard of Waves or has, but never investigated the potential - check out the user software at https://wavesplatform.com/. Or download the world class mobile app on Play or App store. You'll be blown away by how far Waves has come in the last two and a bit years. While you are at it - check out the quality and care of documentation and other support services.
