So surly there is a risk, and without knowing the reward i dont think people should bother. The whole announcement was badly formulated to start with, could have been such a great marketing opportunity if done correctly, such a shame

i am agree with user ELMA ......
dont get me wrong , i like free coins , but dont like the way of getting it ....
last time when sasha tweet about free coins ... instead of earning i lost on wct and waves....
they even dont say how many BCH they gonna airddrop .... probably gonna get 0.001bch orso ....
aah we will see
Please explain how a WCT holder could lose money on a free airdrop.
ok didnt sell it , so technically didnt lose 'yet'.... but i bought it too high ... this was due the news from Sasha....
i was an ico participant ..... still got my waves, didnt sell or dumped ..... honestly i bet wrong, i could choose also Stratis but didnt ....whyyyy because WAVES were presented as the next crypto beside BTC ... and from stratis i didnt here not so much ....
but if i look to the developments and WP of Waves still think this coin gonna ROCK ..... but when

Please explain how a WCT holder could lose money on a free airdrop.
Just by creating a new address and exposing your seed your tokens are at risk for most users, especially since waves is not supported on ledger or any other hardware wallet.
So the ways i can see people lose their money is:
1. Most obvious, transfer fee 0.001w and maybe back afterwards 0.001w. Not much but might actually be more then the airdrop in bch, since nobody knows the amount.
2. Falling for a scam, somebody creating an identical pywaves git rep but with a slight modification that generates compromised addresses.
3. Accidentally sending the WCT to the wrong address.
4. Losing the new seed for the new account, most people dont create new accounts everyday but have a solid tested one and dont want to change bc time have proven it to be safe.
5. Time is money
So surly there is a risk, and without knowing the reward i dont think people should bother. The whole announcement was badly formulated to start with, could have been such a great marketing opportunity if done correctly, such a shame

How this airdrop has connected wit Waves platform? Is it official? I don't see why somebody need to make free distribution of Bitcoin Cash to WCT holdres. Look like attempt of price manipulation.
In 2016, during the Waves ICO, the platform raised ~30,000 BTC, of which an estimated 21,000 BTC are still in their possession.
After the BitcoinCash hardfork, the team claimed their BCH from these BTC.
They are now airdropping a small amount to holders of the WavesCommunityToken (WCT).
This is also a good stresstest for Waves-NG to max out the TPS.
Earlier, in november 2017, there has been a BCH airdrop too.
Official Twitter statement about the airdrop: https://twitter.com/wavesplatform/status/964465911997587457

It is 100% official right from the Waves.
You can see as a reward and test of system like I do, or everybody free to see it as a price manipulation.

You need to generate a waves wallet with letters “B”, “C” and “H” in it, not necessarily in consecutive order.
If the address contains the “B”, “C” and “H” letters in the consecutive order the address receives a double payout.
Then send your WCT to that address and wait until the airdrop has been completed!
How to generate a new address? Try to generate a new account until it contains the correct letters or create a vanity address! Manual is at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21665498
UPDATE: The case of letters doesn’t matter. Old addresses with mentioned letters in the right order are also eligible.

Do you think we are going to use a walletgenerator to create our address ?
it remind me iota wallet generator...do you see what i say ? https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@sirwinchester/attention-iota-holders-online-seed-generator-wallets-hacked-quick-crypto-update
Do you think i'm going to generate alot of accounts expecting the good letters ?
Stupid game, stupid ideas, keep your BCH.
Thanks for sharing this.
Some remarks:
- The generator can be used offline, no need to be connected to the internet.
- It's open source, you can check the source code and compile it yourself.
- It can generate custom vanity addresses of any length (though longer than 6 characters will take a very long time)
- It's created by user pblck who's a well known coder, active user in the Waves Slack and he also created http://dev.pywaves.org
- The location of the source is: https://github.com/PyWaves/wallet-generator/releases
If you don't trust the generator, even after compiling it yourself an disconnecting your computer from the internet, you can always use the https://beta.wavesplatform.com website or any official Waves client to generate new accounts until you find one with the letters "B", "C" and "H" in it.
In my experience, 2 or 3 attempts is enough. Your Waves address may already contain those letters.
And it's not mandatory to participate in the airdrop, so don't feel obligated to do so.

We can't invest Waves tokens because the exchanges do not want to add such complex system to list waves tokens. I invested waves heavily but it is quite bad in price.
Can't invest in Waves tokens?
Waves DEX is available from any place in the world as a web client, MacOS, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android.
You can trade any pair of any Waves token on the DEX, you can send BTC, ETH, LTC, Dollar, Euro, Turkish Lyra and other coin and fiat gateways are announced.
And it's not complex to list Waves tokens on exchanges, Incent is listed on Bittrex for a long time now, no problem at all.
And recently Mercury was added Bittrex.
I didn't actaully get it why did you say it complex and you can't invest?
I am starta holder and investor since ico, this coin is bad and lacks volume, the exchanges may suffer some issue to list the token, I doubt it is technique issue.

Stupid question, does it matter if it is lower case or upper case letters for BCH? Your post does not specify this. Thanks!
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (someone told me).

Listened to music in Youtube .. and saw an advertising video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=28&v=3pjMueirxGU
Cool!
Active marketing. As for stable crypto currency, I see advertising for the first time.
Although advertising is not the waves themselves, but the platform. However - impressed.

what is the ratio of BCH airdrop?
This will be known after the airdrop.
But if you look at the previous Waves airdrop: EncryptoTel - 1:100
1 EncryptoTel [WAVES] for every 100 WCT
1 EncryptoTel [WAVES] = 0,088
Do not expect a big profit.

Block by block: building a complete blockchain ecosystem
by Sasha Ivanov
Being in the blockchain space for around 4 years by now I have seen various stages of its development, from being some kind of a curiosity for nerds and cryptoanarchists to an almost industry-grade adoption. It is incredible that it took such a short amount of time, in other industries such developments can take a life-time. But the blockchain concept is so disruptive that it just blows you out of the water and speeds up your life forever.
So now we are close to some kind of mainstream adoption. Everybody knows about blockchain, many people thinking about how to use it in their businesses, many buy cryptotokens looking for profits, governments world wide are struggling with regulation. Interest is huge, the technology is incredibly promising, the question is can we obtain anything from it right here right now?
And when you consider this question carefully you realize that not so much can be done on the blockchain now. Different projects are going into different directions, some amazing things are being worked on, but all you can really do on open blockchains now is ICO’s and value transfer.
The goal of Waves platform has always been a creation of a blockchain ecosystem targeted at real world applications, addressing the most poignant issues of the ecosystem and providing the “right here right now solution”. We are getting closer to this goal every day.
The basis of the Waves ecosystem is the Waves blockchain. This is PoS algorithm chain that can support up to 100 tx per second currently, thanks to recently implemented Waves-NG protocol, which makes it the fastest blockchain in production currently. Coupled with very cheap transactions and a unique feature of paying tx fees in custom tokens Waves blockchain becomes the optimal solution for a whole range of applications that require blockchains but can’t really use them due to low throughput or high transaction fees. Loyalty programs, payment solutions, gaming applications can get all the features they need on the Waves blockchain.
Waves client offers probably the easiest way to issue your own custom blockchain token. It takes you one for form to fill out and one click, and in a couple seconds you have your very own cryptotoken. But it’s not enough to issue your own token, probably it’s important to be able to trade it. Waves offers an integrated decentralized exchange, which supports all the tokens issued on the Wave blockchain, including fiat tokens and tokens backed by other cryptocurrencies.
Currently DEX offers the fastest decentralized trading solution. Its architecture combines the best of the both worlds — speed of centralization (there is a centralized matching service, that brings trading orders together) and security of the blockchain (the actual value transfer takes place on the blockchain and is verified through consensus algorithm). When you trade on waves DEX manually you won’t see any difference between DEX and a centralized exchange, combination of almost instant transactions due to Waves NG and DEX speed makes decentralized trading experience almost indistinguishable from the centralized one.
AND, you can trade not only Waves on Waves DEX. Our goal is a creation of a complete ecosystem, that’s why it is possible to trade fiat (EUR USD TYR) currently and cryptocurrencies (BTC ETH LTC ZCASH, many others are upcoming)
What about ERC20 tokens you might ask? The reply to this question leads us to our upcoming developments, a very important part of the future compete technical part of our ecosystem — smart contracts. We approach in our usual way, trying to make it as usable as possible right from the start. Our first stage of smart contracts implementation will be provide a unique approach the problem — this will be the first realization of an upgrade to bitcoin scripting, non-turing complete smart contracts language that can be called bitcoin scripting on steroids.
You can do so much with a generalization of this approach stemming right from Bitcoin — atomic swaps, oracles, multisig… Turing-completeness might be distracting developers from tapping into the full potential of non-turing complete approach. For example trustless ERC 20 gateways can be realized using atomic swaps based on our upcoming non-turing complete language.
Once its done users will be able to trade ERC20 tokens on our DEX, which sports the lowest transaction fees and fastest transactions among all the decentralized trading solutions. Waves holdings will be secured with multi-party multisig, with flexible spending conditions. It will be possible to realize oracles and feed external data into the Waves chain. And that’s just a small part of what could be done with the upcoming smart contracts language.
Our tech is meant to tie in seamlessly into the real world. Another example of this blocklchain voting application we are working on now. It will provide trustless and verifiable voting mechanism for decentralized voting, which can be used for a host of applications, starting from voting on certain features of Waves blockchain to business due diligence of ICO’s on Waves platform, and voting for third-party services such as shareholders voting or regional or municipal voting.
Very important part of Waves ecosystem is ICO’s that are taking place on Waves platform. We’re trying our best to incentivize responsible token sales. To that end we launched in partnership with Deloitte Bettertokens.org, Swiss association which is going to provide guidelines and standards for tokenization and token sale campaigns, including business due diligence which should protect investors from bad players. Decentralized voting on Waves blockchain is going to provide a decentralized rating agency mechanism, an approach that can upend business due diligence in general, making it more transparent and less prone to manipulation.
Besides we incentivize good ICO’s on Waves through running our waveslabs.org incubator, which provides not only funding but also marketing support, advisory, best practices recommendations and basically everything you need to run a successful tokensale and integrate a utility token into your product. With hundreds of millions of dollars raised using Waves tokens Waveslabs team has excellent expertise and provides an optimal solution for all responsible projects with clear vision and competent team.
After projects complete their token sale many of them don’t realize that they have to provide post-ICO support to their tokens at exchanges. Liquiditywave.org is a mechanism to streamline the relations between the market makers and token issuers, providing a clear defined procedure supporting liquidity on the decentralized Waves exchange.
There are bigger tokensale issuers that never forget what they should do at all stages of their project. For them we launch a platform which can be called the first investment bank on the blockchain. We have been working with Singapore regulators and Baker&McKenzie legal firm for about half a year to provide the first fully compliant ICO platform in Singapore. There’s a several projects now that are going to be launched as Tokenomika projects. The idea is to provide a one stop shop for bigger token sales, a place where big enterprise projects can obtain everything they need — legal support, technical solution, marketing and advisory services.
I hope it’s clear to see that all of our products and services are neatly connected, one product ties in into the other, creating a complete ecosystem where any project can get everything they need from a blockchain and services on top of it. In upcoming months you are going to witness the process of different parts of the puzzle coming together and creating a beautiful picture of an ecosystem you would never have to leave.

Waves Ecosystem Explained
by Wavesplatform
Waves was founded on the idea that blockchain is a technology of the people: a grassroots phenomenon that puts ordinary individuals and companies back in control of their own finances, business processes and much else besides by offering fundamentally improved security, transparency and convenience.
As “blockchain for the people”, Waves caters to a wide range of stakeholders, and its platform is designed to deliver value to different users and use cases: consumers, entrepreneurs, individual and institutional investors alike. It’s an ecosystem of businesses, services and communities, all utilising the benefits of Waves’ cutting-edge and constantly-evolving technology.
For Investors
Waves has one of the most user-friendly crypto wallets in existence, making it straightforward to access the full range of the platform’s powerful features. The wallet has been designed with best practices in mind, meaning that it compares favourably with the user interfaces of the foremost online banking and trading platforms. Combined with the integrated fiat and cryptocurrency gateways, this makes it extremely easy to acquire and hold cryptocurrency, quickly and securely.
The Waves wallet also features a built-in decentralised exchange (DEX), with a professional design based on those of familiar and popular cryptocurrency exchanges. A wide range of trading tools means that this is suitable for expert traders as well as newcomers to the ecosystem. The DEX will be further developed in the coming months, ensuring that it can rival any centralised exchange for user experience whilst remaining far superior in terms of security and uptime.
For Institutional Investors
There is tremendous institutional interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain tokens. Further elements of the Waves ecosystem are designed to interface with the traditional financial sector and work with large corporations to enable them to gain exposure to this new asset class at the earliest possible point.
The Basics Fund is a blockchain venture fund, focused on the Waves platform and holding a diversified portfolio of crypto assets. Its purpose is to give larger investors and corporate buyers access to promising token projects as close to their inception as possible, whilst also capitalising some of these businesses and funding the best initiatives that go through the Waves incubator, helping to ensure their success and rapid growth. The Basics Fund is currently in the process of collecting investment and will launch in Q2 of 2018.
Meanwhile, Tokenomica is the first global, blockchain-based investment bank. Tokenomica’s activities are focused on:
Tokenomica’s CEO, Timur Abushkin, has 15 years of experience of finance and capital markets. He previously served as a Vice President and Cash Equity Sales Trader at J.P. Morgan, raising more than $14 billion in public offerings for leading Russian and CIS enterprises.
Tokenomica plans to launch its first pilot projects in Q2 of 2018, establishing partnerships with banks, organising self-regulation and connecting with regulators over the course of the year.
For Startups and Businesses
Waves offers entrepreneurs and established businesses a wide range of unique opportunities and powerful functionality. The platform makes it easy and secure to create, send and trade custom blockchain tokens, and to switch between traditional currencies and cryptocurrencies, thereby bringing efficiencies to an existing business or enabling a start-up to conduct a pre-ICO or ICO. Waves has launched several initiatives to help businesses succeed in their token implementations.
The Waves Lab is an incubator that monitors promising businesses and ensures that they have a solid business proposition underpinned by a viable token model. Strategic activities for Waves Lab involve providing advice, expertise and resources at a critical point in a project’s development. This includes:
Two of the Waves Lab’s first tranche of participants have already held successful crowdsales. Community trading platform Simdaq raised $5 million in just over a day, whilst blockchain-based tracking service MyTrackNet attracted $600,000 in its pre-ICO.
Waves Lab will accept its next tranche of applicants in Q1–2, and is currently assessing hundreds of applications, with active discussions under way in several cases. A new acceleration programme is being prepared, which will include the release of professionally-prepared information and explanatory materials, which are badly lacking in the blockchain space, as well as various activities for consulting, auditing and assisting the most promising projects. Waves Lab has announced a total budget of 1 million WAVES for future participants.
After a token is launched, it is critically important that a robust secondary market is established to allow existing holders to exit their stake and new buyers to invest. The Waves DEX provides near-realtime peer-to-peer trading for tokens, ensuring an active exchange is always available. Meanwhile, LiquidWaves is a new initiative that ensures liquidity for tokens traded on the DEX.
It is also vital that businesses remain compliant and up-to-date with the latest regulations. The Better Tokens initiative pioneers and promotes best practices for compliance among ICO and token issuers. Its goals include:
Community
Waves’ strongest asset is its community. Regional hubs (in offices run by Primalbase, one of Waves’ early token sale and infrastructure partners), allow people to connect with other members of the community at meetups, and to consult on projects with Waves and to get in touch with official Waves representatives. The Community Club provides a framework for new ambassadors to join the Waves ecosystem and establish new local communities.
Meanwhile the Blockchain Institute, launched to facilitate the practical implementation of blockchain technology, is the ideal entry point for developers who wish to contribute to the Waves platform.

It is incredible that it took such a short amount of time, in other industries such developments can take a life-time. But the blockchain concept is so disruptive that it just blows you out of the water and speeds up your life forever.
So now we are close to some kind of mainstream adoption. Everybody knows about blockchain, many people thinking about how to use it in their businesses, many buy cryptotokens looking for profits, governments world wide are struggling with regulation. Interest is huge, the technology is incredibly promising, the question is can we obtain anything from it right here right now?
And when you consider this question carefully you realize that not so much can be done on the blockchain now. Different projects are going into different directions, some amazing things are being worked on, but all you can really do on open blockchains now is ICO’s and value transfer.
The goal of Waves platform has always been a creation of a blockchain ecosystem targeted at real world applications, addressing the most poignant issues of the ecosystem and providing the “right here right now solution”. We are getting closer to this goal every day.
The basis of the Waves ecosystem is the Waves blockchain. This is PoS algorithm chain that can support up to 100 tx per second currently, thanks to recently implemented Waves-NG protocol, which makes it the fastest blockchain in production currently. Coupled with very cheap transactions and a unique feature of paying tx fees in custom tokens Waves blockchain becomes the optimal solution for a whole range of applications that require blockchains but can’t really use them due to low throughput or high transaction fees. Loyalty programs, payment solutions, gaming applications can get all the features they need on the Waves blockchain.
Waves client offers probably the easiest way to issue your own custom blockchain token. It takes you one for form to fill out and one click, and in a couple seconds you have your very own cryptotoken. But it’s not enough to issue your own token, probably it’s important to be able to trade it. Waves offers an integrated decentralized exchange, which supports all the tokens issued on the Wave blockchain, including fiat tokens and tokens backed by other cryptocurrencies.
Currently DEX offers the fastest decentralized trading solution. Its architecture combines the best of the both worlds — speed of centralization (there is a centralized matching service, that brings trading orders together) and security of the blockchain (the actual value transfer takes place on the blockchain and is verified through consensus algorithm). When you trade on waves DEX manually you won’t see any difference between DEX and a centralized exchange, combination of almost instant transactions due to Waves NG and DEX speed makes decentralized trading experience almost indistinguishable from the centralized one.
AND, you can trade not only Waves on Waves DEX. Our goal is a creation of a complete ecosystem, that’s why it is possible to trade fiat (EUR USD TYR) currently and cryptocurrencies (BTC ETH LTC ZCASH, many others are upcoming)
What about ERC20 tokens you might ask? The reply to this question leads us to our upcoming developments, a very important part of the future compete technical part of our ecosystem — smart contracts. We approach in our usual way, trying to make it as usable as possible right from the start. Our first stage of smart contracts implementation will be provide a unique approach the problem — this will be the first realization of an upgrade to bitcoin scripting, non-turing complete smart contracts language that can be called bitcoin scripting on steroids.
You can do so much with a generalization of this approach stemming right from Bitcoin — atomic swaps, oracles, multisig… Turing-completeness might be distracting developers from tapping into the full potential of non-turing complete approach. For example trustless ERC 20 gateways can be realized using atomic swaps based on our upcoming non-turing complete language.
Once its done users will be able to trade ERC20 tokens on our DEX, which sports the lowest transaction fees and fastest transactions among all the decentralized trading solutions. Waves holdings will be secured with multi-party multisig, with flexible spending conditions. It will be possible to realize oracles and feed external data into the Waves chain. And that’s just a small part of what could be done with the upcoming smart contracts language.
Our tech is meant to tie in seamlessly into the real world. Another example of this blocklchain voting application we are working on now. It will provide trustless and verifiable voting mechanism for decentralized voting, which can be used for a host of applications, starting from voting on certain features of Waves blockchain to business due diligence of ICO’s on Waves platform, and voting for third-party services such as shareholders voting or regional or municipal voting.
Very important part of Waves ecosystem is ICO’s that are taking place on Waves platform. We’re trying our best to incentivize responsible token sales. To that end we launched in partnership with Deloitte Bettertokens.org, Swiss association which is going to provide guidelines and standards for tokenization and token sale campaigns, including business due diligence which should protect investors from bad players. Decentralized voting on Waves blockchain is going to provide a decentralized rating agency mechanism, an approach that can upend business due diligence in general, making it more transparent and less prone to manipulation.
Besides we incentivize good ICO’s on Waves through running our waveslabs.org incubator, which provides not only funding but also marketing support, advisory, best practices recommendations and basically everything you need to run a successful tokensale and integrate a utility token into your product. With hundreds of millions of dollars raised using Waves tokens Waveslabs team has excellent expertise and provides an optimal solution for all responsible projects with clear vision and competent team.
After projects complete their token sale many of them don’t realize that they have to provide post-ICO support to their tokens at exchanges. Liquiditywave.org is a mechanism to streamline the relations between the market makers and token issuers, providing a clear defined procedure supporting liquidity on the decentralized Waves exchange.
There are bigger tokensale issuers that never forget what they should do at all stages of their project. For them we launch a platform which can be called the first investment bank on the blockchain. We have been working with Singapore regulators and Baker&McKenzie legal firm for about half a year to provide the first fully compliant ICO platform in Singapore. There’s a several projects now that are going to be launched as Tokenomika projects. The idea is to provide a one stop shop for bigger token sales, a place where big enterprise projects can obtain everything they need — legal support, technical solution, marketing and advisory services.
I hope it’s clear to see that all of our products and services are neatly connected, one product ties in into the other, creating a complete ecosystem where any project can get everything they need from a blockchain and services on top of it. In upcoming months you are going to witness the process of different parts of the puzzle coming together and creating a beautiful picture of an ecosystem you would never have to leave.

Waves Ecosystem Explained
by Wavesplatform
Waves was founded on the idea that blockchain is a technology of the people: a grassroots phenomenon that puts ordinary individuals and companies back in control of their own finances, business processes and much else besides by offering fundamentally improved security, transparency and convenience.
As “blockchain for the people”, Waves caters to a wide range of stakeholders, and its platform is designed to deliver value to different users and use cases: consumers, entrepreneurs, individual and institutional investors alike. It’s an ecosystem of businesses, services and communities, all utilising the benefits of Waves’ cutting-edge and constantly-evolving technology.
For Investors
Waves has one of the most user-friendly crypto wallets in existence, making it straightforward to access the full range of the platform’s powerful features. The wallet has been designed with best practices in mind, meaning that it compares favourably with the user interfaces of the foremost online banking and trading platforms. Combined with the integrated fiat and cryptocurrency gateways, this makes it extremely easy to acquire and hold cryptocurrency, quickly and securely.
The Waves wallet also features a built-in decentralised exchange (DEX), with a professional design based on those of familiar and popular cryptocurrency exchanges. A wide range of trading tools means that this is suitable for expert traders as well as newcomers to the ecosystem. The DEX will be further developed in the coming months, ensuring that it can rival any centralised exchange for user experience whilst remaining far superior in terms of security and uptime.
For Institutional Investors
There is tremendous institutional interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain tokens. Further elements of the Waves ecosystem are designed to interface with the traditional financial sector and work with large corporations to enable them to gain exposure to this new asset class at the earliest possible point.
The Basics Fund is a blockchain venture fund, focused on the Waves platform and holding a diversified portfolio of crypto assets. Its purpose is to give larger investors and corporate buyers access to promising token projects as close to their inception as possible, whilst also capitalising some of these businesses and funding the best initiatives that go through the Waves incubator, helping to ensure their success and rapid growth. The Basics Fund is currently in the process of collecting investment and will launch in Q2 of 2018.
Meanwhile, Tokenomica is the first global, blockchain-based investment bank. Tokenomica’s activities are focused on:
- Providing compliant token services to big businesses
- Enabling corporations to launch their own token sales and access the benefits of crowd investment
- Ensuring corporations meet all AML/KYC requirements.
Tokenomica’s CEO, Timur Abushkin, has 15 years of experience of finance and capital markets. He previously served as a Vice President and Cash Equity Sales Trader at J.P. Morgan, raising more than $14 billion in public offerings for leading Russian and CIS enterprises.
Tokenomica plans to launch its first pilot projects in Q2 of 2018, establishing partnerships with banks, organising self-regulation and connecting with regulators over the course of the year.
For Startups and Businesses
Waves offers entrepreneurs and established businesses a wide range of unique opportunities and powerful functionality. The platform makes it easy and secure to create, send and trade custom blockchain tokens, and to switch between traditional currencies and cryptocurrencies, thereby bringing efficiencies to an existing business or enabling a start-up to conduct a pre-ICO or ICO. Waves has launched several initiatives to help businesses succeed in their token implementations.
The Waves Lab is an incubator that monitors promising businesses and ensures that they have a solid business proposition underpinned by a viable token model. Strategic activities for Waves Lab involve providing advice, expertise and resources at a critical point in a project’s development. This includes:
- Working on materials, marketing and compliance
- Connecting a project to a wider community before funding the project via a pre-ICO (if applicable) and ICO.
Two of the Waves Lab’s first tranche of participants have already held successful crowdsales. Community trading platform Simdaq raised $5 million in just over a day, whilst blockchain-based tracking service MyTrackNet attracted $600,000 in its pre-ICO.
Waves Lab will accept its next tranche of applicants in Q1–2, and is currently assessing hundreds of applications, with active discussions under way in several cases. A new acceleration programme is being prepared, which will include the release of professionally-prepared information and explanatory materials, which are badly lacking in the blockchain space, as well as various activities for consulting, auditing and assisting the most promising projects. Waves Lab has announced a total budget of 1 million WAVES for future participants.
After a token is launched, it is critically important that a robust secondary market is established to allow existing holders to exit their stake and new buyers to invest. The Waves DEX provides near-realtime peer-to-peer trading for tokens, ensuring an active exchange is always available. Meanwhile, LiquidWaves is a new initiative that ensures liquidity for tokens traded on the DEX.
It is also vital that businesses remain compliant and up-to-date with the latest regulations. The Better Tokens initiative pioneers and promotes best practices for compliance among ICO and token issuers. Its goals include:
- Setting out a framework within which all Waves ICOs should operate
- Actively shaping the emerging regulatory landscape by adopting a voluntary code of conduct.
- Better Tokens is run by Artem Tolkachev, Director of Legal Services at Deloitte and a prominent figure within the Russian blockchain community, and Miko Matsumura, founder of crypto exchange Evercoin and a serial entrepreneur and angel investor.
Community
Waves’ strongest asset is its community. Regional hubs (in offices run by Primalbase, one of Waves’ early token sale and infrastructure partners), allow people to connect with other members of the community at meetups, and to consult on projects with Waves and to get in touch with official Waves representatives. The Community Club provides a framework for new ambassadors to join the Waves ecosystem and establish new local communities.
Meanwhile the Blockchain Institute, launched to facilitate the practical implementation of blockchain technology, is the ideal entry point for developers who wish to contribute to the Waves platform.

i tried according to:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21665498
but did not succeed
it seems that this is restricted to linux OS (not precised on github).
what a world of restrictions!

You have 6 more days, no stress
Actually the manual is written for the command prompt in Windows but the same command should work in Linux just fine too.
Where did you run into a problem?
international political situation is serious, we must stick to our choices.
internet situation very instable also since the discovery of meltdown and spectre. Patches are incomplete, hazard not resolved.
so i will not try again, security first.
this affair of vanity address is insufficiently tested and the play is not worth it.
we need an internal security advice on this "game", java is known as "not secure".
what do they say on russian thread, more important than ours, with more than one thousand pages ?
