IDK, a lot of the businesses that do ICOs on Ethereum seem strange to me. 

Aren't there a lot of barriers for traditional real world businesses to use Ethereum?  Don't they have to learn an entirely new programming language called Solidarity?  Don't turning complete smart contracts present a lot of security risks?  Also, it's my understanding that Ethereum won't be able to scale really until the sharding tech is developed and that seems to be at least a year away.  A lot can happen in a year!

Waves, to my understanding, is built from scratch on Scala.  It's proof-of-stake already from the beginning, and regular users can actually earn rewards through leasing without having to download the entire blockchain.

Plus, from what I'm reading, Waves will have non-turing complete smart contracts in a couple of months that won't require any programming knowledge to implement.

In my opinion, the real winner in the blockchain space will be the one who reaches the traditional brick-and-mortar type buisnesses who already have a valid customer base.  Waves seems to be smarter in this regard.

of course i could be wrong......after all......this is crypto!

I've noticed that too.  A lot of really interesting startups seem to be choosing Waves as their platform.

Why is that?

I read something somewhere about how they plan to implement bitcoin-ng scaling this year to handle up to 1,000 tx/second.  Is this true?  And ethereum, if I'm not mistaken can do what.....17 per second?

I also read they are opening an eth gateway soon, so hopefully that will add more pairings and liquidity for wagerr!

I was in digibyte slack, and i noticed the community there was wanting to switch over to Waves platform.  Pretty cool!

Yeah, the dex seems very young (launched in April this year I believe), but overall it looks very promising.  I'd rather play the long game anyways.  That's what winners do.  Only losers sit around complaining.  I'm sure you guys agree!
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★[ANN] [NAV] NAV COIN - ANONYMOUS TECH. ● ANDROID WALLET LIVE ● NAV 2.1 SOON on: September 02, 2016, 05:21:30 PM
Hello,

I am wondering about the inflation of this coin.

1) Is there an algorithmic limit to how many nav coins can be produced on an annual basis?
2) Is there a limit on the long-term supply?



I am also wondering about the anonymity of navcoin transactions that are not navcoin based on both sides.

1) Are navcoin transactions anonymous when they are outgoing into a cryptocurrency that isn't anonymous?
2) Are navcoin transactions anonymous when someone is converting a non-anon cryptocurrency into navcoin?


Thank you!
