Current UpdateI have spent the last few evenings revamping my plans for AQUA. As I've been working, I've learned a lot about what AQUA should be. I want to get things right the first time. AQUA will now be the official asset of Vessel Hub (an "aqua hub"), that will house all of the projects and services that utilize AQUA and other top assets. The AQUA name will be dropped from the title of the projects, as the applications will have much broader functionality. They will all utilize the AQUA asset front and center and other assets like BTC, WAVES, WBTC, WCT, and RBX will be integrated.
Lots of cool things are happening behind the scenes. There are no set timelines. I will work on things when I have the opportunity and release updates as they are ready. The previous bounties that I had planned aren't viable with the current market price, it's best to hold on to them for now. If you want fast money, you should probably just sell your AQUA now. If you have patience, it will be worth holding onto an AQUA or 2.
Note on Asset IDsAs I've stated several times, the faucets are empty. They will not be refilled.
Don't trust any token until you check the asset id. The user is responsible for checking the asset id of their tokens. The waves platform currently allows the same name to be used an unlimited amount of times. You can see multiple duplicates in this list:
http://dev.pywaves.org/assets/. The asset id should be treated as the real identifier of an asset.
Asset IDs that do not match the tokens asset id listed on TIDEX cannot be traded there. In the case of AQUA, that asset id is 6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L
The only AQUA associated with this project is 6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L
This asset id is listed in the main post of this thread, on twitter, on the website, and on slack. It is up to you to do your own quick checking.
There is a lot of valid criticism about waves allowing the same asset name to be used more than once. There is also valid reasoning behind the decision to allow duplicate names. So for now, that is the system that we have.
On the DEX, you will have to manually select and verify the asset id before it can be traded.
