Just shaking hands does not mean that their cooperating or anything. However it's nice to see two important characters in the cryptosphere in the same photo! Things are starting to shape up for Waves, and seeing Vitalik and Sasha brings more confidence in us who have participated in the crowdsale I'll might have to consider buying some more waves while I still can

That always seems to be the case whenever I decide to sell some tokens as well
Also, people like to setup new masternodes. They are happier when they work together than being all alone.

Not saying anything about user prettybuds, but I would think that most people might consider selling of a bit to spread the risk or to gain a little profit if the price starts to go up. Solely dumping for the sake of it might not be the best of moves as the platform is brand new. Too early to say what will happen with the value in 6-12-24 months time.

That said, I think I'll be holding on to my Waves

The growth is steady with the expected spikes prior to each bonus reduction. It will be interesting to see whatever happens as we get closer to the end of the ICO. From the looks and feeling of the matter, new people are coming to Waves every day. Maybe more buzz with more partner announcements, tech paper release or other news will bring even more investors to the project. 15K BTC seems within reach with two weeks left of the investing period.

There's still time mate, keep it up with 50 good posts and help promote Waves! Good luck!

So.. I took a look at home, and I only have each transaction listed, incoming and outgoing. I'm running Mist 0.7.3 on OSX, but I can't imagine that the OS should matter.
I don't have any extra fields with transactions like the "extra" 110 eth. I'm quite puzzled as to why that transaction is showing in the list. Maybe asking the https://forum.ethereum.org/categories/mist Mist forum if they can explain further?

Yes, once the funding ends, the assets are distributed to all who participated. Your balance is what gets paid to you.

Edit: Also check this google doc that user bobo81 has made, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-G1LMDjAX9roVJDuhVewGG_pykSLIprWAElwO-6TcRA/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0
Here you see the amount invested and what each wave token is currently valued. You see that for every BTC invested, the amount of wave tokens for every user decreases, but their value goes up.

Wouldn't be the first time people just copy&paste without looking at what they are copying

Oh I see now what you are referring to. I can't really say, but do you have several eth accounts in your Mist wallet or just the "Main Account Etherbase)?
Again I need to check at home, can't really say much at the moment.

The "main account" is yours. The second picture shows the DAO wallet balance, a huge 5.6 million ether.
Not sure about the third picture, but the address looks like the DAO wallet.

I am not around my Mist wallet so I can't check and help more right now. Maybe some other Mist user can take a look.

Yes of course, maybe even more like 100K waves, possibly multiple times to really create a havoc. I used small numbers just to try and explain the point in short sellng, that's all. You are right that 100 token units wouldn't make any difference what so ever.

Sure, that's the risk in short selling. But the big dumper hopes to create a panic sell. The big whale starts with 100 tokens, dumps them, hopes others will follow, and buys back cheaper coins and has a new total of 125 tokens. If the price picks up again, well the whale just made a 25% bonus. It happens all the time on the big exchanges. There is no guarantee of the price going up or that others will start selling, so that is the risk involved with this kind of shorting.

Without knowing, I would assume that the representation would be proportional to the use of BTC throughout the world. Mainly the USA and EU, along with Russia, China, Japan, Brazil etc.
Coinmap gives a good picture, but this of course says nothing about who has participated in the Waves ICO. Maybe the Waves team could show these stats after the ICO.

 bitbitch and TraderBill, both of your ideas seem plausible. Of course the rush to participate in the DAO is driving up the price of ether. It does seem likely that the price of ether would go down once the buying pressure reduces.

At the same time it will be interesting to see what happens once the DAO starts funding slock.it and other projects. Say that the DAO "invests" 1 million dollars worth of ether, they'll need to cash out that to a local fiat currency at some point, unless developers, team management, contractors etc all except ether. Dumping that on an exchange would really push down the price.

I thought 30+ Million USD was a huge success for the DAO. Checked in again today and it's over 48(!) million USD. That's one heck of a DAO funding venture platform!
Besides slock.it and Mobotiq, are there any other proposals that are available to start reading? More to be presented after the launch in 2 weeks?

Large holders could short, creating a panic among the weaker holders who might freak out and panic sell, all while the large whale folks scope up cheaper tokens and get more Waves. In the end the whales get more waves and the smaller fish lose out.

I was picturing the same scenario as when Paycoin launched, Garza et al. tried to establish a floor price and raised a larger buy wall once the coins where released on an exchange. The "plan" failed and the value for each coin plummeted as there was no buy support. I hope that we are not trying to achieve the same here? Buy walls are  great but they need to be used wisely. I am fully confident in how the project has been run and maintained up to now, so I have no doubts that if any walls are considered and needed that they will be setup to help Waves in the best of ways.

Hmm OK, but what is to prevent the Waves funds from depleting, should everyone and their dog get cold feet and want to sell/withdraw the instant wave tokens are available on an exchange? We all remember the clusterfuck Paycoin that went out with a 20$ floor, but that lasted only a short while while everyone threw their coins at it.

Hi, found this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12233642#msg12233642

basically make a script and have it run via cron. Works great and keeps your masternode online

Perhaps I have not been following the Lisk development as close as I should, but why is this delayed news for September being voiced? Sure the team could wait another year or two for making an even better platform, but it's better to get something out the door and update often. Compare this with Linux and Microsoft. Update often, fix bugs and add more features, release and repeat again (as for Linux). Rather than the Microsoft model where they make a release, then work again for the next release 2-3 years later.
