Augur, Waves, Bitcoin.

It mostly depends on the devs, if they deliver then $1+ is easily reachable.

Maybe waves will be over 100$ if btc is 10 000, that seems pretty realistic. For early on I think we can expect 1-5 dollar range.

so which exchange is wave going to be released?
Was thinking of yobit as well or maybe poloniex. but damn sure yobit has tons of users who would probably join the trade. He'll I've been trading there for over a year. i just don't listen to those trolls in the troll box.

I invested in the waves ico but I changed my mind and want my bitcoin back.

How can I get a refund?  

The more the ICO can raise, the more BTC will be available for the Waves team to develop and market the coin.  This will be better for the coin's health in the long run. Unless this ICO is just another cash grab like so many we have all seen before... Also, when this coin comes to market, no one with half a brain is going to initially dump their coins at a loss. If someone wants to play the market at that point and play ping pong or whatever to make BTC, they are going to need to set their bids high enough to lure some folks who bought into the ICO to dump.

Polo should indeed be a priority amongst other exchanges cus i would imagine waves going to be attracting lot of volume, btw nice job on the fiat and plugin idea.

How much is collected?

A difference in culture doesn't necessarily imply someone is a crook. What I have observed thus far since I got into crypto-currency (which has been my first exposure to Russians and Eastern Europeans), many of you on this forum appear to have a different system of values than we typically do in the USA and not just about investments. Someone even said your governments had a law against everything, so they learned that laws are made to be broken. Whereas, Americans (perhaps excluding inner city poverty regions) are generally under the impression that a lawful society is a more just and well-functioning society.

The defensive way you reacted to my speculation is I think quite telling. You accuse me when it is both of you who are selling, marketing, promoting, or defending the selling of ICOs to USA n00bs in defiance of our securities laws. I didn't make that decision for you. It might just be a statistical fluke (small sample size) that we have a high correlation between developers from that Communist culture involved with public ICOs which haven't blacklisted USA n00bs (which our law appears to require).

I'd respect you both much more if you were out there creating great software, raising money from private placement to launch profitable ventures, then selling stocks through the legal venues such as Seedr.

Or I'd respect you both for doing pure open source contribution not for profit, if that is your preference.

But I don't respect the marriage of software development with Pink Sheet stock speculation. Software development isn't fly-by-night gold and silver mining companies and other crap listed on the Pink Sheets. And those listed on the Pink Sheets do at least abide by our securities laws.

When Charles says you don't yet have the governance structure set up, I presume he is alluding to the fact that you ostensibly don't even have an attorney advising you properly. And I don't blame him for not wanting his reputation to be associated with entirely unregulated selling of "slices of the next big thing" to unsophisticated investors who can't discern technological fact from hype.

I don't personally have anything against Russian culture (I'm even a bit curious about it). But if I continue to see that people from (former) Communist countries don't have basic common sense about how to operate in the international business arena on any scale other than some fly-by-night promotions, then I will eventually start to be forewarned about being cautious.
