So what about next step in development?
Will it be 'smart-contracts' or another UI redesign?

See the updated roadmap here:

thank you for updated roadmap

waves activity is presently shown as decreasing on wavesgo.com

introduction of a BCH gateway could be important, as BCH victory at the end of "bitcoin war" cannot be excluded

[vcdragon]

do you have airdrop?

[Virtuoso]

A Bitcoin Cash gateway would be really amazing and in long term it can be a real high valued coin. I also waiting for the integration of the smart contracts, this is a very important and useful feature.

Doesn't look like that, seems that's the timeframe in which it will be released.

The roadmap is saying that it comes end 2017 or on the first quarter of 2018.
We must have patience for a while before waves 1.0 releases.

On the roadmap,
timeframe of 'smart-contracts' similar to timeframe of 'New gateways'
That marked with infinity symbol '∞'

Take a better look at the roadmap.
It only shows a '∞' for the gateways.
And there will always be new coins that will need new gateways, so that figures.

The Petrodollar’s Biggest Challengers

Established in the early 1970s, the petrodollar has secured the United States’ influence over the oil trade for over 40 years, but recently, it is clear that this monopoly is slowly beginning to fall apart.

Due to the plummeting value of the dollar, the debt from the Vietnam War, and excessive domestic spending, President Nixon abruptly pulled out of the Bretton Woods Accord, which pegged the dollar to the price of gold and based the value of other currencies on that of the dollar. Labeled the “Nixon Shock,” these actions left the country bursting with debt and low on cash, with many of its key allies such as Britain, France, and Germany questioning whether the U.S. was justified in its position as the leader of the global economy.

While the U.S. economy entered a nose dive, another geopolitical event was unfolding which exacerbated the economic free fall.

In 1973, Syria and Egypt, backed by several other Arab Nations, launched an attack on Israel which marked the beginning of the Yom Kippur War (or Ramadan War). The war placed increased pressure on oil prices, and when the United States provided Israel with financial aid and arms, the Arab Nations responded.

In 1960, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was formed. At the core of this organization were Kuwait, Iran, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates – countries which were strongly opposed to U.S. interference in the 20-day war.

Following U.S. provisions to Israel, resource rich OPEC placed an oil embargo on all those thought to have aided Israel, including the United States, Britain, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and later South Africa and Portugal. By 1974, the price of oil quadrupled.

With the success of the embargo, and cartel’s new role as an oil price influencer, Saudi Arabia became the de facto leader of OPEC.

In 1974, desperate to return value to the U.S. dollar, President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger entered negotiations with the Saudi Royal Family. In the agreement, the United States would provide Saudi Arabia with arms and assist with the protection of oil fields. In exchange, Saudi Arabia was to price all oil sales in U.S. dollars and invest surplus oil proceeds in U.S. debt securities. By 1975, all oil-producing members of OPEC followed suit. This began the reign of the petrodollar.

The petrodollar has since elevated the United States economically and politically throughout the world, but after years of unprovoked wars and geopolitical belligerence, U.S. influence is beginning to fade.

Through the years, there have been a number of attempts to move away from the petrodollar system, especially within OPEC, in which many of its members are not particularly friendly with the United States. Another strong advocate of change is Russia, which suggested to China and Japan to purchase oil in yen or yuan.

A Kuwaiti finance firm, however, took this debate a step further, suggesting in 2014 that the Gulf Cooperation Council could benefit from trading oil for bitcoin. The suggestion was based on the idea that the GCC could save time and money with faster, cheaper, and more efficient transactions.

This idea has been debated back and forth for some time, with some even suggesting that the “anonymity” factor could usher in a new era of world peace. The idea is that, using a neutral “petro-bitcoin,” countries would be immune to currency manipulation from governments, which has clear global impacts. An unbiased-blockchain could act as a great medium for doing business on a global scale.

While this is all well and good, neither the U.S. or China are looking to ease up on their power push.

China, indeed, has taken the lead in the fight against the petrodollar. In 2012, Iran began trading oil in yuan, and earlier this year, in response to U.S. sanctions, OPEC member Venezuela began pricing its oil sales in Chinese yuan, as well. China’s biggest move, however, was its push for Saudi Arabia to do the same. One of the most notable efforts from China to tackle the petrodollar, was the country’s yuan-priced crude oil benchmark, which it recently unveiled.

While China pushes for the petro-yuan, Russia is also making moves which could have serious implications for the U.S. dollar.

In addition to the Russian Miner Coin, the Kremlin announced that it will be creating a new state-endorsed cryptocurrency backed by gold. The goal of this coin is to allow free exchange between the cryptoruble and the ruble, and to reduce dependence on foreign currency while stimulating the domestic online economy.

While few details of the cryporuble are known, the technology does seem to be blockchain-based, as Putin has met with Ethereum and WAVES advisors to build the platform.

With these major moves from China and Russia, there is no doubt that the dollar will see downward pressure in the near future. As the world’s major economies vie for geopolitical power, it is worth following the growing role of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in this story.

Hi everyone! Didn't new that we are alive here about Waves, good!!

Let's support Waves!

Yes, it shows a '∞' symbol for the gateways.
But, 'smart-contracts' time-frame equal to 'gateways' time-frame on the roadmap 
So we can assume that there is no plan to finish 'smart-contracts' at all.

That's what YOU assume. Of course there is a plan to finish smart contracts. The only ongoing task is adding gateways.

[humanbeingbit]

See the updated roadmap here:

timeframe of 'smart-contracts' similar to timeframe of 'New gateways'(marked with infinity symbol '∞')

Of course there is a plan to finish smart contracts.

Right now it looks like 'Somewhere in the future when we implement 'smart-contracts' we will be like second Etherium, but please invest today'
So maybe waves-team can specify at least year when they plan to finish 'smart-contracts'? (no information at updated roadmap)

Development of the Sigma script language for non-Turing complete smart contracts will start in Q1 of 2018.
It is expected the first mainnet release will be in Q2 / Q3 of 2018.

Thank you for the information:)
Could you please explain, will it be possible to deploy some new Coin(with custom logic) using this 'smart-contracts'?

The slack invite isn't working
How i can join the waves slack group?

As I see old thread is locked (are sasha35625 really broke the rules? seriously  ) I looked for another waves thread and find this.
I would like to get answer on some question:

  Will the this: https://blog.wavesplatform.com/waves-updated-roadmap-98c3f1323eed  roadmap deadlines be met?

Where are the plans to make WavesDEX fully decentralised (for now we have much more advanced dex - called bitshares for example)
? Is there any reasons when I should switch from bitshares to wavesdex if I am looking for dex?
Regards and have a nice day!

I personnaly can't clearly discuss the differences between BitShare and Waves as I don't know much about BitShare.

What I can tell you, however, is that WAVES has succesfully implemented the NG protocol (next generation) on the testnet and so far, it has proven to be able to process about 12tx/sec (equivalent to ETH). The good news is that this only represents about 2% of its capabilities, and the developpers are working on a newer version of the testnet to be able to carry out a full stress test to evaluate the maximum transaction speed that this new blockchain can handle (supposedly about 1080 tx/sec). So, by the end of November, WAVES should have the fastest blockchain in existence available on its mainnet.

Furthermore, they will release an upgrated version of their DEX, with integraded trading views and other optimized visual tools. This should help the user experience.

As for the decentralization aspect of the DEX, I think they are working on a way to decentralize the "matcher". This way, any full node that wants to participate in the matching of orders will be able to do so. I don't have a ETA for this, but it should be somewhere next year.

If you are still curious, there are other things you should look for as WAVES is not only a DEX. Check out the partnership with the Moscow Stock Exchange, the upcoming Tokenomica and the upcoming non-Turing complete smart contracts implementation.

[Virtuoso]

The current price is not what waves deserve. Alone the new DEX looks better than a lot of other exchanges and this will bring so much volume to the coin. I think the price will soon go up.
