10:47 PM I have some questions though. 1) Will assets from NXT be directly transferred as Assets on Waves or will they just be redeemed for equivalent value? 2) Will the client be available at the end of the ICO so that we can begin to stake immediately? 3) Will Multigateway be configured for Waves so there can be influx of other cryptos into the system?

11:00 PM Unless I'm overlooking something, 1) Yes, a burn mechanism is in the dev roadmap so assets can be effectively moved towards Waves platform, 2) Light client will be available, but in testnet only for the first few months. So you can trade ICO tokens in exchanges once ICO finishes, but not stake with them yet. and 3)...

Multigateway (or an equivalent development over Waves) would require coding work to be adapted for Waves, it's not a matter of server configuration only since the Nxt API is deeply ingrained in it. But of course a Waves MGW is an interesting idea to consider.

11:06 PM "The crowdfunding tokens can be traded at decentralized NXT Asset Exchange and centralized exchange partners before the Mainnet launches.
After its launch they will be converted to corresponding WAVES balances."

11:09 PM It will be interesting to see how the transition from NXT to Waves will occur. Now I am not the most tech saavy, I know a few things but not enough to write home about. From my layman's perspective the Asset Exchange was pretty much all NXT had going for it and after the recent schism it nailed its own coffin shut.

11:12 PM by being token owner, above instant trading on NXT AE, you will be able also to choose to leave even some tokens on NXT blcockchain if you only wish, but then you will miss waves blockchain features and pairing with btc, fiat tokens etc...
11:14
transition will be simple, burn protocol with automatic import function to waves blockchain

11:17 PM waves blockchain will be also collaborating with btcd blockchain, you will be able to move your assets there and use SuperNET features for example, it will be automated most probably with crosschain communication, so waves is not just waves :simple_smile:

11:23 PM 2 essential things I hope that the devs of waves keep in mind when laying out the framework is 1) some sort of verification of(legitimacy-wise) of created assets ( to prevent scamming) , I realize that this is what the reputation system is meant to do however this seems to have the same problem as btc's original weboftrust or like bitcointalks rep system. Perhaps it might be a good ( company) idea to have a third party go over assets or require more detailed ( possibly peer reviewed) descriptions of what is being invested in. A procedural method of asset description and profit/loss statements would go a long way to enticing more conventional users. 2) A strategy to incorporate existing crowd funding platforms on WAVES, this really could be as simple as scraping existing crowd funding sites ( indiegogo kickstarter gofundme etc. ) and using waves to facilitate transfers to those projects. Several ways to monetize this, possibly with a BTCD like staked dividend payment system with revenue generated from cross platform fees. What do you think @mx

11:31 PM yes there will be first verification process if anyone wants to create new asset on waves blockchain, waves will become the biggest crypto crowdfunding platform out there with its possibilities, tech and will have real payment gateway integrated instantly with fiat tokens, there will be many incentive programs for token holders and platform will be used for sure a lot also (edited)
