What happened to Coinomat? Sasha said he would be focusing solely on Waves, and so it was getting sold. Details anyone?
who said it was getting sold ? I though coinomat will be somehow connected to waves in future.
Sasha replied to me in his AMA a while back. Said it like it was obvious, that he needs to sell Coinomat (quite rightly).
Q: “Coinomat is now going to be integrated into the Waves Platform as opposed to being sold. Can we please get clarification on what is transpiring and how this is to be implemented?”
A: “Coinomat will be one of the gateways for Waves. It will have Euros and Dollars there. As you know, there was CoinoUSD there that needs to be supported further. It will be supported as a USD token on Waves platform.
It won’t be sold; it doesn’t make much sense at this stage. I had this idea, but I decided against it. There’s going to be some nice functionality, maybe, with Mycelium. They are going to be launching a new version of the mobile wallet that will have Bitcoin and Ethereum within it. Also Dash, and maybe some other coins too. Coinomat will provide the instant exchange within the Mycelium wallet. There are also some other developments with payment cards that can be integrated somehow into the Waves platform. Currently, Coinomat has working payment cards, so we just can’t just transfer them to Waves… So, there are several directions that we would like to pursue with Coinomat now.”

So he’s going to be more or less a liquidity provider to a degree…Very good to hear. We can look forward to seeing some of the fiat gateways within a year, you would say?”
SASHA: “No, no; sooner than that. As soon as we have the tokens and the functionality for token creation and transfer, there will be several companies that will be/ are ready to work with us that have already signed some preliminary contracts. They’ll be providing the gateways. It is not a year. It all depends on the functionality of the platform. Organizationally we are fine and we have many companies lined up and waiting for the launch.”
MYCO: “Are those established companies that currently take money in exchange for Bitcoin?”
SASHA: “…Not yet actually. Everybody can do that.
I’ll probably be using Coinomat for this because I have this instant cryptocurrency exchange project and I think that I should develop it further. I think it can be a coin gateway for Waves for a while.http://coremedia.info/index.php/waves-news/item/323-cryptocopia-hangout-1-ama-transcript-with-waves-and-incent
