Yup, this is a thread not about waves but about bitcoin scaling issues and an impatient/uninformed user. Hope the mods lock or delete this thread

I hope they don't. Actually this thread is rather useful and informative for folks who experiencing similar slow transactions when trying to send BTC to Waves wallets. At least they'll know that they are not alone, nobody scammed them, and this is a Bitcoin issue.

waves? waves is a good coin i know.but how its posible by waves platform.is there any mistake you had?

Never heard of this particular one, but the truth is you should never, ever use any unknown exchange to trade or store Bitcoins as it is only a matter of time until you lose them (usually get stolen). I personally lost a lot of Bitcoin this way, although forget the name of the exchange. I also lost a lot when Cryptsy closed.

Waves is not an unknown exchange, currently decentralized exchanges are not very popular but that could change, to be honest this seems to be FUD the op did indeed receive his coins on his wallet after some time, this seems more like a problem with the speed of confirmation than anything related to waves and their platform.

It's indeed not a Waves issue, but a gateway issue with fee & confirmation time.

Waves itself is decentralized, but their is no existing way to have a decentralized gateway (this for any coins that use IOU tokens).

Anyway, glad to hear the OP got the wBTC tokens... like the others ...

I've heard some ICOs work with waves so, should we be cautious? Anyway this is the first time I hear a bad feedback about waves.

Don't know if you can't read or what? It's not Waves bad feedback it's Bitcoin fault. And yes there are some interesting ICOs on Waves platform and more to come.

i think maybe you do something wrong like wrong address ,you should check it carefully

[mmhaimhai]

Ive been using waves for quite a long time now some site that i join to earn tokens require waves flatform. I didnt have any problem with waves since then. Maybe theres something wrong on your part why that happen. Do check your transactions and you cant really trace whats wrong then contact support.

The problem wasn't with bitcoin.It was with waves.They didn't send my bitcoin from the platform for 8 hours.What is the connection with bitcoin?
Besides waves said that the support problem stemmed from them and apologized.

Maybe they were thinking of delayed BTC transaction confirmation.

Anyway, since you already got your coins and waves support apologized for the inconvenience it caused, I think this case is now close. You should edit the content of the main post about what happened, even the title to avoid confusion. It was all clear that they did not steal your coins and just have a delayed manual process of withdrawal.

Waves platform stole my bitcoin.(1.984)  I sent mail waves support.
They would not take me seriously and I lost money because of platform failure

I think you should be careful when dealing with the platform 

Centralized exchanges will always steal your coins. Use Blocknet`s decentralized exchange. You always keep your private keys. Their exchange goes live by the end of July:
