If there are any noobs reading this thread, don't listen to this advise to HODL your ICO coins for years,
Don't be the ones left holding the bag. By the way, the Waves team has withdrawn over 9000 coins from the Escrow account so far.
https://blockchain.info/address/3DWBSSAue32YS8PcW2gLs6m52BCCv3UgDAThe team did meet the escrow criteria of releasing the lite client, so they can have all 29,000 BTC if they want. Also, it would be nice if they made the full nodes open source. How can the community be sure the Waves team is making strides when we cannot view the git with all the progress they claim to be making?
Ok Ok I get it it may bea joke , BUT how do you explain no other exchange is trading wave , Why is poloniex not trading waves ??
Perhaps because Poloniex doesn't want to put up with the add or substract 1W bullshit. Is that still going on?
I think what bothers me the most is that they've withdrawn over 30% of the investor funds, but haven't really explained what they used it for. I mean, when Lisk was launching, they were giving updates constantly. Max was on the forums alleviating concerns, despite the whole ddos attack, which was really nothing compared to Sasha manually giving access to Waves accounts. I think that's ridiculous in 2016, to be doing that manually with 30,000 BTC invested. I mean come on, at least hire extra people... it's really stupid that many people still can't access their Waves. The only reason the price hasn't dumped lower is because so few people actually have been able to sell.
Also with 9000 BTC taken from the funding, I would have thought they would do better marketing. The last thing on their blog is about how to remove/add the "1W" for Bittrex. It's pretty crazy how little communication they provide. You have to constantly be investigating slack, bitcointalk, reddit, twitter, etc. to get a clear picture of what's going on with their project. They also don't have any actual technical paper out. There's very little info on what Waves really does. And on Sasha's LinkedIn page that's linked to the Waves website, his name is "Alexander" or something like that, it's not even Sasha.
So actually where does the name "Sasha" come from?? Is that his nickname? Why is he called Alexander on LinkedIn? And there's barely any info on him on his social media.
On the website "Sasha Ivanov" (same as Facebook / Twitter)
On his LinkedIn profile "alexander ivanov"
Another thing, isn't he supposedly Russian? Why is it he doesn't list that language on his LinkedIn but lists English, German and Italian? It's just weird, too sketchy for me.
