Hello. Some of your questions are quite unclear, but answering your first question, the answer is "yes", Waves based assets issued within the network can't become centralized anyhow.
Speaking about encrypted and local personal data, all the user's SEED phrases/private keys are owned by them just like before. We don't have any access to such kind of personal information and never will ask for it.
The payment gateways & the Matcher remain centralized ones just like now.

Kind regards,
Waves Community Manager

Waves was shorted at least since june at 0.00054 if not since april at 0.000685 and it is not the only shorted altcoin. It is institutional players that are/were shorting top alts and they will cover positions before christmas.

I don't know what happens after return to normal levels but it depends on Bitcoin and if establishment is preparing their own coins which they are otherwise they are not smart money.

Waves is fragmented into 3 pieces: Tokenomica is not part of waves native but it is direct competition, and waves enterprise is also not part of waves native so all of these chains will have to share market capture during merchant phase. But there is more competition from other brands in top 50 such as Stellar which is well positioned to capture American markets which is the worlds biggest. Stellars platform is much worse than waves yet it's market cap is $7 billion. Waves is Russian so it must concentrate on Eastern market and possibly south east asia and china, maybe Japan.

Global retail market is $20 trillion, and 90% or more of this will be migrated from NASDAQ and global indexes to proprietary government controlled centralized solutions. Stocks will be converted into tokens and the mother crypto will be something like "NASDAQ Dollars" which is connected to these fortune 500 stocks. Of the remaining free market 2 trillion, Waves ecosystem can capture 30-50% and this in turn will be divided between Tokenomica, WEST (Vostok) and Waves original.

So Waves market cap with optimistic scenario is a few hundred billion dollars and that is also the maximum market cap possible from 1000tx/s equivalent to 15 million active users, when each transaction carries a fee of 80 cents ($25 billion annual profit with p/e multiple 10 at maturity).

Waves should definitely increase all trading fees to 80 cents to back the new inflation policy and increase exchange volume because every trade must be valued higher to make the fee lower share of traded volume.

Waves team should receive 10% of this fee and rest shared with community every week like it is now, with the significant difference that staking rewards is then actually backed by real profit and not simply empty air like it is now.

Token issuance fee can also be increased to 100 waves but keep in mind if waves price goes up, even 1 waves can become worth much. Up to $2500.

I'm sure the diagon project team has thought about that, that's why they use the ETH ecosystem, so far I see that transactions in eth are quite fast and there are rarely obstacles, it's just that now it is popular with ecosystems Using the binance ecosystem, but eth is not inferior to it

Short term: There will be a vertical short cover. 0.00054 BTC/$4.9 target up to 0.000685/$6.2.

Mid term: BTC 35 000/0.000685/$24 or $20 000/0.0012. BTC blow off is uncertain, it depends on delusion level in market, it appears to be sobering slowly, in that case it is straight to oracle 3:

Long term: Flip event from top 5 to alt sphere, then it will break 0.002 BTC ATH. BTC itself stable between 8-12k. Possibly back to $200-1200. Waves from $68 to $2000.

1. We are using a modified Balloon hashing algorithm courtesy of our in-house developer team called balloon². The original balloon algorithm was in fact GPU mineable (a GPU miner took several months to surface), however even then it was only operating on a ratio of 1:4 efficiency (CPU/GPU). This was due to an oversight made whereby part of the hashing function was able to be precomputed (specifically the AES-128-CTR rounds). This has since been resolved and the advantage gone.

2. We will start mining in our testnet which is a few days away, that is available to anyone who wants to take part. Just join our Discord or Telegram for more details! There is little to no private mining happening other than the first couple of blocks other than our pre-mine to make sure everything works before we get to further testing. You are welcome to join in on the fun!

3. Yes on page 50 it is correct. We have set aside 7000 coins for a bounty program, however our community budget may contribute more for this.

4. We have decided on that number and split it into 2. One being our operational budget, which we have full discretion on its spending. We then have our locked reserve which is LOCKED. These funds can only be accessed by our CEO and COO while only done so through community governance. We have an article that explains our reasoning behind it and its implications for our business. The locked reserve is essentially time locked using our cold interest system where you can lock coins for a determined amount and receive rewards. This will be fully visible on chain. The only times our locked reserve of 1,800,000 will be used is at the event that our operating capital has been exhausted and our community approves of the movement for the funds to be utilized as operational budget. Here: https://medium.com/zentoshi/the-zentoshi-budget-e2208693f61e

I heard that 5 people have registered an interest in the event, and 2 of them will definitely be turning up.

Qredit is listed on

Altilly
Graviex
SatoExchange
FinexBox
BitexLive
and.... TradeSatoshi 


The ticker for Qredit is XQR.
QAE is the token protocol on the Qredit Blockchain. Like ERC20 is for Ethereum.

If expensive price and high achievement is what determines where your money goes, then you shouldn't invest in SwiftCash. Because we haven't achieved anything special that other coins haven't. Neither is our price or marketcap where we can boast about. But if you're looking for a ridiculously cheap and undervalued altcoin that is legit and not scam, then you can make yourself feel at home and start accumulating. If not, you can sit aside and let those of us who do believe continue to accumulate. Back to achievement, it's almost impossible to achieve anything with this price and marketcap. But what's interesting is we don't really need to. There's always time for achievement and development. What matters now is that we have a working blockchain which is just as good as Bitcoin, if not even better due to it being based on the Proof-of-Stake consensus. It's obviously not adopted as much as Bitcoin neither is it as liquid as Bitcoin but if it were, it would be #2 or #1 on coinmarketcap and not on my list of hidden gems.

Hello, very good questions.
1. Regarding exchanges, we are focused on our exchange, which will be released in early 2020, but we are also negotiating with other exchanges. We are not limited in exchanges and of course, they will not be one.
2. At the moment, the API key will be used only for calculating information both from exchanges and from a service such as Coinmarketcap.
3. All API keys can be configured in the "Settings" section of the program.
4. The program will not trade using your APIs
 keys. The program will only provide information for the transaction, and the user will decide whether to conduct such a transaction or not.
5. The question is not entirely clear. If we understood correctly, then the user will need to replenish accounts outside the program, on the exchange himself, and not through the program.
6. The approximate retention time will be in real time based on price glasses.
7. Coins will be moved between purchase and sale transactions
8. The program will know in advance the amount of commissions on exchangers, so it will take them into account in advance and show profitable transactions.
9. Our program analyzes only those coins on which there is no service or any other problems.
