WAVES. Ultimate crypto-tokens blockchain platform.

[JanpriX]

On the Waves platform I saw that there are tokens with the same name.   I think this is not good. I do not understand why the name is not unique.

It's not a real world problem, verified tokens have a green checkmark

Verified tokens are few. the platform is not only for verified tokens.... In my view I  think it's a negative point and a stupid negative point. Why the name is not unique? For example, I can invent a super name and create a token but tomorrow another person sees my token and creates another identical token.  it's ridicule.

It's already taken care of.

Right now, when you search for tokens in Waves DEX, only the verified tokens are shown with a name.
Duplicate, fake tokens don't show up anymore.

Haven't had the chance to check it earlier. If that is true, then that would be very useful to all the users especially the new ones. I can remember that I am also confused by those fake tokens even if I know that the verified ones has green checkmark in their name. Being cluttered by fake tokens provide unpleasant experience to the users of DEX even if they know what they're doing. Good to hear that the Waves team already addressed this issue.

Yes I saw, If your token is not verified you can not see it. but maybe it's not a fake or a duplicate token and you can not see it...
Anyway, You can not see two twitter or facebook  or bitcointalk accounts with the same name. You can not see two identical domain names. But you can see two identical crypto on the same waves platform...
But maybe the platform is only for verified tokens, so it is better to delete all unverified tokens in this case...

Is it true that waves team can delete a token if they want to?
I've read this earlier today from other thread for which they said WAVES isn't decentralized at all. There would be a chaos if this happen but its possible, isn't it?

Tokens can't be deleted, they exist on the blockchain forever.

For the Waves DEX, 2 things are centralized:
- verified tokens
- delisting of tokens like "NaziCoin", "IsisCoin" or "HitlerCoin" from DEX

But...

You can setup your own "matcher" node and API, start your own exchange and trade whatever token you like.

So... is it decentralized? If you choose to use the Waves services like DEX, some things are centralized, it's a business, they have to protect it.

But they can't delete a token, they can't take tokens from you and trades are decentralized, coins stay in your own wallet until an order is (partially) filled.
And every service they run, can be created by third party (even you) too. Some work right now, some in the near future when the API gets more advanced.

What can happen is, that an asset which was verified before looses the verification. This is possible, as the verification doesn't happen on the blockchain.

You have to separate 2 things:

-> the infrastructure: Waves Nodes, Matcher, API, blockchain, tokens

-> services on the Waves infrastructure: DEX, Waves Lite client, Gravit.ws, WavesGo, (fiat) gateways

The infrastructure is decentralized, once a token is created it can't be deleted.

The services can choose what to verify or what tokens to accept.

As Magnet said, you can create an exchange on the Waves infrastructure, accept only tokens (or a token) you like and be your own boss.
You can even start a "random coin or currency" gateway to the Waves platform.

All you need is a node, matcher and use the API to communicate with your own created exchange or service (both can be an app or a website).

So, yes, it's fully decentralized but services on it don't necessarily have to be.

And that's understandable when you run a business, you don't want it to be destroyed by scammers or extremists.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't have much WAVES actually but I have kept its for months already and if I sell now, I'd be profiting from it but I'd have to believe what could happen when the DEX will fully be functional in the next years.

@dbc23

Pretty much agree with your points. However I do remember when things like ASIC resistance, difficulty retargeting, Android wallets and even country specific coins were USPs that resulted in huge marketcaps for months if not years and how, now, many of these have faded. I agree that DEX is core and vital but a platform should not be a one trick pony. I think gateways, fiat or otherwise, contracts etc are very important. (funnily enough, given my above post, not so much anonymous - would rather see some solid third party run gateways to anon coins)

every day i watxh this thread and i´m everyday very impressed. this coin is truly amazing.

Yes but DEX is and will be an eternal business. If you get it right, that's like a real oil spring. But ultimately you are correct, having various things in the pipeline seriously can't hurt.

Same here. I am very impressed with the commitment of Waves team and community with this project. I really believe we can reach 10 usd until end of the year or more.

[forzendiablo]

this coin is a sleeping giant, it will pump x10 or more when people realise what this is capable of

[MirkoIta]

Sorry guys is it possible to have multisig wallet on Waves? I think Sasha is making a huge work here with WAVES and cryptos in general and I am sure it will shine very soon.

It's not a real world problem, verified tokens have a green checkmark

It looks like they verified the wrong Whoppercoin!

1 Whoppercoin for 1 BTC WTF!!!!!

There is another Whoppercoin where 1 Whoppercoin = 1 sats 

[mrbard]

I'd happily mine Whoppercoins ^______^

Hi all, noob question: what's the difference between Dex and waves liteclient? I'm using thr chrome app, what am I missing? Because I don't see all the tokens that people talk about

Hi,

Dex is one of the functions of Waves Lite Client.
There are others top of the window

I'm disappointed that Sasha is tweeting about this garbage whopercoins seriously. He better start working more intensly on the dex since it's still look like 30 year old Exchange system. DEX still needs tons of improvements, and there is no news for this so far.
