why price is not jumping just trading between 14 to 15 usd last 7 days eventhough volume is very heavy but price not rising?

In order for an asset to mature, stable volume and price level is needed (consolidation). Man how can you be so impatient to complain after 7 days? Cloak just listed on Binance give it some patience.

Lol - I guess the next step we'll have to witness is people who complain that the coins they buy don't double their price after 7 hours. Cheesy

Dear Bitbay team,

Just found out about Bitbay and i really like the concept, dev team seems to be active. Before investing in this project, I have some questions:

1) What is the utility of the Bitbay token? Is there any other insentive than 1% staking reward?
2) Does the network also runs masternodes, or only staking?
3) How does Bitbay differ from Particl?

Btw, there is a major typo on the website, under features.

https://bitbay.market/features

It says, "crpytocurrency", i guess this has to be "cryptocurrency".



Hi VinneG,

1. BitBay's coin (on its own separate blockchain, not ethereum based) serves for the purpose of collateral during double deposit escrow transactions. It's the one thing that holds two parties to their word, to form any agreement in the marketplace. The two deposits are always in BAY, however payment for the transaction can be literally anything, (including crypto or fiat currencies).

2. There are no masternodes with BitBay (helps maintain decentralization), only staking on Proof of Stake 3.0

3. For comparisons of BitBay and Particl, check out this BCT thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2354040.0

However, two main differences offhand are that BitBay has an already working product since 2015 (that has tons successful marketplace transactions under its belt including real estate) and will be offering the Dynamic Peg. The peg will provide both stability and an opportunity for investors to profit over time. This will be the first programmable peg of its kind, and no other project has done this.

Hi tradersnow,

Thanks a lot for all your answers!

here are only a few projects that I would bet on for 2018.
By this I mean hold a large position in due to investment.

Of course any project that you help create, through actively being a participant in its development and marketing can be very lucrative, but I'm talking about actually undervalued projects that have released enough to be competitors in the top 10 best blockchains while still being under 1 billion in marketcap.

In truth there is only one. Waves!!!
It has the fastest on chain tx
It has secure smart contracts
It has a decentralized exchange built into the client that trades at blazing speeds
It has a blockchain creation tool that instantly allows you to create a token for under 10 dollars which can be traded against eth bitcoin and a myriad of other tokens without a verification process
It has fiat on and offramp  for 50% of the planet,
And so much more..

Best of all it has these things now!!!
With a marketcap of approx 40th place on cmc.




I fully agree with you. All valid points that you list. There is no hype to drive the prices up. Price increase will be gradual over time as more organizations adopt the platform and roll out tokens. It is a longer term project in my view. What would be great though to add to the list are Ledger Nano S support and integration with a Bitcoin ATM.

Yes, just add on your list that Waves has an actual working platform, which most of the top cmc cyptos don't have yet. Most of these are still on testnet, or have a very limited usable platform. Also, based on dev updates on github in past 12 months, Waves is on 8th place of all cryptos.

This means that dev team is very active

Is there a good reason to use Waves’ smart contracts compared to Ethereum or Cardano?

Cardano my firend is 12-18 months away from being operational, it's just speculative token that doesnt do anything right now
As for ethereum it's conjested and pressed against the wall. they really need to come up with a solution to adress this issue fast but it seems the solution is 12 months away from being implemented too. also the Parity multisig situation doesnt help at all at there is a risk of forking and splitting the chain again. Waves seems like it has everything in place and figured out in advance.

Yes i fully agree, major problem for ETH is the transaction speed, it's not made for mass transactions. i think ETH can do around 5 tx/second and Waves NG algoritm can scale up to 1200 tx/second in current state.
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:49:07 AM
How are smart contracts charged on WAVES? Will this be good for miners and PRICE?

Users of smart contracts will pay a fixed fee, i think its around 0.001 Waves (no GAS required like with ETH, or NEO). This fee will go to the nodes, (Waves has no miners like with ETH). The more mass adoption, the more transactions on the platform, the more fees for the nodes. You can start your own node with 1000 Waves, or lease your Waves out to another node to earn rewards. Smart contracts and Atomic swaps will contribute to the mass adoption because with will enhance functionality for users. For example, it will allow ERC20 tokens to be traded on the DEX.

I do not believe proof of stake is good platform for smart contract

Yes, lets kill the planet with energy consuming PoW algoritm
69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:40:10 AM
Fixed fees are a smart option for Waves smart contracts. No exploit potential but I’m concerned about WAVES price?

Value is what you get, price is what you pay - Warren Buffett. Try to look at the fundemental value of an asset, not on the price of today. Waves is currently techically unmatched and has a working platform in production. Price will follow mass adoption by actual usage, not short term hype.
70  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:35:23 AM
How can you charge such a low fee for smart contract? Where is reward for miners?

Transaction fees do not go to miners, but go to Waves nodes. You can start you own node with already 1000 Waves, or lease your waves out to current nodes to earn rewards.
71  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:30:44 AM
Too many smart contract platforms now, seems every blockchain has to have them. What does WAVES do different to any other?

Difference is that Waves has already a working platform on which smart contracts and atomic swaps will be the enabler for enhanced functionality. Just try out the Waves platform yourself and you can see that there is already a working DEX and ICO platform that runs super fast and smoothly. Most platforms have a good market cap, but no product/platform in production. Try to use ADA, EOS, IOTA, VEchain. You will be disappointed as they only have fancy websites with whitepapers, but no platform yet to use.

1) ETH is PoW, can handle less transactions per second and gass is required which makes it expensive
2) Cardano has no working platform yet and smart contracts are expected Q4 2018 - way overhyped project in my view

Waves, has already a working DEX, ICO platform, LPOS algoritm, super fast transactions with Waves NG and smart contracts are now already in test. In my view, only thing that can match Waves technically is NEO platform.
73  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:14:27 AM
So tomorrow the first of the smart contracts go live on the main net....

I'm looking forward to seeing all the projects that have been waiting for multisig, time stamped freezing or atomic swaps to finally join the waves platform.

May the fourth be with you.

I think only test goes live with smart contract today, still a bit of patience for smart contract in production.
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: May 04, 2018, 09:11:35 AM
After making some research, I think it is a project with great potential and great development too. However, it is not very common and I'm actually a bit surprised that it has not gained the popularity that it deserves.  Grin

It's because 95% of people buying crypto only care about price and not the tech behind it. See it as an opportunity that you found a crypto which has an actual working product with great potential before the mass people know about it Smiley

Be sure that some day there will be a shake out on the market and only cryptos with an actual product will survive. In the top-20 there are a bunch of over-hyped coins that are technically way behind Waves. Look at EOS, still in test stage but on number 5 in CMC.

The market is bad in value new technologies in early adoption stage, just like internet conmpanies in the 90ies and 00s, as most people just follow the hype like sheeps.

Hi Cloak team,

Thanks for the good update on the progress. Keep up the good work!
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES - Complete Blockchain ecosystem for a token economy on: April 09, 2018, 10:45:34 AM
What does waves offer different than ethereum? Because if they are almost indentical, aka the same thing then I don't see why would anybody want to make and switch between ethereum and Waves. Ethereum is somewhat standard where people will want to lunch their own tokens and built their smart contracts, with huge support from the community and this is why it will be in my mind when it comes to smart contracts and dApps and tokens in general. Why is Waves better, or why would I want to do anything on ti rather than do it on ethereum???

First of all, I would advice to just try the Waves platform for yourself, as it is important to form your own judgement and user experience. Also, you can read a lof of information on their Website, or join their Discord channel.

There are some major differences between Waves and ETH.
1) Waves has Leased proof of stake (LPOS) consensus algorithm. No hardware needed for mining. You can start your own node, or lease them to another node.
2) Waves has the new generation consensus algorithm implemented (Waves NG). This means the network can handle much more transactions per second than ETH (around 8.5x faster) and it can scale up even faster. ETH had a lot of issues in the past with handling large volumes of transactions.
3) Waves has much lower transaction fees than ETH
4) Waves has an integrated working DEX on it's platform. You can exchange crypto's for only 0.003 Waves, which is around 0.01 USD today.
5) Waves has a very user friendly wallet, both desktop and online version  
6) By owning Waves you will receive regular airdrops and miner rewards (passive income)
7) This year, Waves will implement smart contracts and atomic swaps.

I own Waves since beginning of 2017 and really believe on the long term potential of this project. It has an actual working product, with a clear unique vision for the future. Also, it has a state of the art technology that can scale up for mass adoption with "Waves NG". When smart contracts and atomic swaps are implemented, Waves can easely compete with ETH, or NEO from a technical point of view.

There are so many over-hyped cryptos in the space that have no proven working product, or are just copies/forks from the same thing. i am sure that at some point there will be a major shake-out in the market. Having a solid working product will be the key for survival on the long term.

I wish we could see a next giant pump in Indian conference, not easy to wait for so long time, we need to be bigger asap, the market cap isn't looking good.
Come on man, traditional PR seldom works in crypto. What are they going to be doing? How will they measure success? This just seems like money down the drain. Why not try and build local communities instead? Or pay some devs/testers on Breeze?

Yes, i fully agree. Better to invest in tech development for the moment. Why do marketing now, if there are still so many things to finish from the roadmap. A good product should sell itself and on the long term only mass adoption is the sustainable value increase (look at BTC and ETH, they never needed heavy marketing to get where they are now) . Marketing will only facilitate the short term speculaters to get profits faster. Extending the community and build new partnerships will be more valuable.

My folks. Did I not send the clear warning for the months now. Look where we are.. back $8 and sinking. BTC value dropping BIG too. Be careful frienddddddds the bottom is a long ways away.

The vilage idiot is back again! My Broooo we missed you man! Interesting that you only come are here in bear market moments. It's easy to predict rain when there is storm outside. As long term holder, I really do not care about your price predictions. Cloak is a solid tech, with a good team and backed up by an external audit.
79  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][CLOAK] Private, Secure, Untraceable & Decentralized Digital Currency on: February 20, 2018, 09:20:36 AM
Cloakteam, good job on this achievement! Now up to some more mass adoption and aknowledgement for cloak in crypto world. Still too much undervalued in my point of view.

Are we in POS anyone getting stakes ? anyone got a green arrow in the lower right ?

Yes, for me it's working fine. I get every day some staking rewards.
