Mainly, waves token is just following the BTC price trend together with all other alts. In my view, there should be more fiat/Waves pairs to disconnect from BTC price. Next to that, there are other projects that have a lot of hyped marketing, empty promises and fancy websites, but no working product. It takes time for the crypto market to mature and for investors to value projects on their true value. Waves is a great platform and with a fully working product that is fast, safe, high quality and receives regular updates from dev team. Just be patient, as at a certain point price will follow quality.

Man, if we would all just follow blindly the market cap as reference to community respect, we would all be brainless sheeps. 95% of people have no clue what they buy, how the tech works and how to distinguish quality from crap. They just follow hypes and marketing insentives. Most of the abovre mentioned projectst are either a straight fork of BTC, or do not have a proper working product on mainnet. Good luck investing in these shit projects. I stay with Stratis for the long term.

I advice you to sell at 80% loss to me, then i have cheaper coins

I made the same mistake when started with crypto few years ago with Stratis. Best thing to so is buy extra to lower your average buying price, or just wait patiently for a new bull market.

PSA (Public Service Announcement) --- Please do NOT use Yobit Exchange for Amsterdam coin.  They have not updated their Amsterdam wallet in  many months and they do not respond to support tickets either (even from the developer of AMS, keesdewit).  Keep your coins safe and use www.CoinExchange.io instead. Thank you.

Man, what you talk about? Waves-NG algoritm is the fastest blockchain tech currently available.

i agree, it would be nice to have AMS coin on more exchanges.

Waves platform is the state of the art decentralized blockchain platform with a working DEX and one the fastest consensus algoritms currently available (Waves NG). Their dev team is in the top-10 of the most active team in the crypto space (https://www.cryptomiso.com/). How can you say this is outdated man? Waves has at least a working platsform in production. What do the other over-hyped projects like EOS, IOTA, Qtum, Cardano, Vechain have? If you want profit/rewards, hold Waves for a couple of years, as it is way ahead of most other projects out there.

You can earn rewards by either start a masternode (100k AMS required), or to stake your coins via the AMS wallet. Staking rewards between MN and staking are 50/50 for each block and are gradually decreasing over time according to a breackdown schedule (see below). I currently stake around 100k AMS 24/7 and so far this works smoothly. I get between 15 and 30 AMS per day with 100k AMS staking. 

PoS Rewards Breakdown:
PoS Phase 1: [blocks 259201-302399] 4.75 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 2: [blocks 302400-345599] 4.6 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 3: [blocks 345600-388799] 4.25 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 4: [blocks 388800-431999] 4 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 5: [blocks 432000-475199] 3.75 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 6: [blocks 475200-518399] 3.5 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 7: [blocks 518400-561599] 3.25 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 8: [blocks 561600-604799] 3 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase 9: [blocks 604800-647999] 2.25 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))
PoS Phase X: [blocks 648000-Infinite]   2 AMS ((50% masternode - 50% staker))

Hi Kees,

Good job and indeed let's focus on the new developments!

Then it's time to list AMS coin to some other exchanges

We first need some more exchanges for AMS coin to increase liquidity, it's a pity it's not listed on some more exchanges as the wallet and blockchain work smoothly after the new update.

Vostok will be a ERP like solution with private chains so that major institutions/companies/banks can use it. Waves is a decentralized open blockchain and most institutions dont like this. The technology and code used for Vostok is based on Waves and therefore funded with ICO community funds. There are concerns in the Waves community that Waves holders will not benefit enough from this project and that the team can better focus it's priorities on the Waves platform improvements, rather than launching another project.

The DEX is only operational for just over 12 months. Volumes are increasing each day. Smart contracts and atomic swaps activation will increase volumes. Also, not many people know yet about DEXs and the advetnages it gives in general. Have patience and with some mass adoption volumes will grow even more.

I just did some test transactions with coinexchange and all is working good. Thanks all who helped on solving this. Let's go for some more exchanges!

Based on your post, it clearly shows that you did not do proper research on the Waves platform.

1) Waves DEX is only live since April 2017, so a little bit longer than 1 year, not 2 years. Just to give you the correct perspective on how new this tech is.
2) According to the number of github commits, Waves team is on the 7th place of the most active dev teams in the crypto space (https://www.cryptomiso.com/) - I would not call it a lazy team
3) Waves team is currently developing smart contracts and atomic swaps. Once this is deployed on main net, it will allow you to trade peer to peer any token on the Waves DEX. - this will contribute to higher trade volumes
4) Waves algoritn (Waves NG) is one of the fastest blockchain techs available. It can handle around 100 tx/sec. which is around 14 x faster than ETH blockchain. - it's scalable for mass transaction handling
5) Waves fees on DEX is only 0.003 Waves per transaction, that is a little bit more than 0.01 USD with today's value. Compare this with the fees you pay on a centralized DEX as Binance, or Bittrex
6) DEXs in general are much more secure, as no 3rd party holds your funds and the decentralized network is much less vulnerable to hacks, or attacks.

I joined the discord channel, this is a good initiative to grow the community of AMS coin. Staking with the new wallet works really smoothly and i receive regular rewards. From my view, the tech is good, just we need to work on the awareness of AMS coin and try to get listed on more exchanges. Maybe Kees can create some kind of marketing/listing fund, so that part of the rewards can automatically go to this fund?

It much more effective to award current (loyal) Waves community members with airdrops with the WCT, or MRT, than to award new community members with the airdrops. It's the golden rule in business, never forget your loyal customers.

Hi Kees,

Wallet is updated to v4.6.0.0 and runs smoothly. Staking is also working, as i already received staking rewards.

Many tanks for your support and let's hope no chain splits anymore. 

Bittrex and Binance are centralized exchanges. This means that they function as a 3rd party between a buyer and seller. The issue with centralized exchanges is trust. You do not know if they can be hacked, go bankrupt, or simply take your funds and run to the Bahamas. Waves has a decentralized exchange (DEX), which allows peer to peer trading without needing a 3rd party. The Waves decentral network (nodes) will verify transactions for only 0.003 Waves as a fee. As there is one common truth on the decentralized blockchain, it cannot be hacked and no 3rd party is in control of your funds.

There are also some other pros for a DEX:

1) low transation fees: a DEX does not need a margin to cover costs that a centralized exchange has (e.g. profit margin, employees, facilities etc.)
2) fast transactions: with the Waves NG algoritm, the DEX can handle mass transactions volumes
3) Secure network: A decentral network of nodes is less likely to fail running, compared to a central server from a 3rd party
4) No central gonvernance: A DEX cannot be shut down by a central goverment or institution
