WAVES Weekly No. 7 Intro.
We are finishing consensus algorithm, POS algorithm which is going to allow us to launch the full nodes. It took us a little bit longer than we thought, some problems with network layer and Scala, some technical issues that actually we didn`t know about but all of them all solved at the moment and we are moving forward. At the same time we are working on custom tokens. The essence of the Waves platform is the ability to create, trade, transfer, issue custom tokens. I thought initially that we will launch the main network without the tokens but we have them almost done, so we are going to be launching both full nodes and custom tokens. After that we are going to be working on LPOS that is some cross between Bitshares delegated POS and Account Leasing from NXT. This is going to allow us to offer a secure LPOS system, very fast, where only like 100 hundred nodes process all the transactions. It is some kind of centralization of course but it has to be there in order to make system production ready. It can really make transactions faster and it can make the system business oriented.
We are not trying to build some network of laptops that can confirm transactions, we are working on the system where handful of nodes process the transactions but they can do it efficiently. That will be the next stage of our development and after that we will have Waves as a pretty production ready system that can be used for a variety of applications, for token creations, you will be able to do a lot of things with it and it is going to take us not so long. The time for it would be beginning of fall where we have LPOS, centralized trading with blockchain settlement, where you can trade with high speed on centralized servers but they don`t control any funds and all transactions are settled on blockchain. We are going to have it pretty soon. That will be first production version of Waves platform. So these are our plans for the next several weeks, few months.

https://telegram.me/wavesnews Great stuff, thanks Twiggy! I am getting more and more optimistic.
This "update" and the kiss ass reply is a spot on example of everything that is wrong with the Waves project at this point. The #7 update from the team reads like it was written by a 14 year old, full of run on sentences and pretty much completely incoherent. I cannot tell from reading it if nodes are coming out next week, a couple weeks, september, or a couple months.
I would ask in the slack but they have begun to ban everyone who lifts their head and says something questioning. Especially the two mods "mx" and "eth". So me like others i guess are keeping our mouths shut. 2000 users and everyone to scared to talk now. They even banned Marusi. The most harmless guy there.
Don't worry too much, they can ban people. But the same questions which lead to answers full of lies, or no answer at all, still happen days after days.
That's not much of a consolation, but at least no one can honestly dismiss all of this and call it "fud" anymore
.
"Mark my words" ™.
I have a need for justice and too much free times. Sorry.
ps: Btw, now they talk about launching nodes with custom tokens, soon they will talk about launching nodes aswell as customs tokens and LPOS, because why release just nodes when you can release it with custom tokens and other stuff.
It means : Nothing before end of year, nodes included. It can't be, but seeing how things have been rolling out.
I'd rather bet on this than anything delivered very soon.
