ERC20 vs waves

[blockchainmarketus]

Hello,

I am creating a coin/ token and wondered, is there a downside to using waves to create it? Its only slightly easier to create vs an Ethereum based. We picked waves due to their DEX API, what does this community think?

ERC-20 is better than waves platform. Waves is very limited, Erc 20 has been used by most ICO developers.

Ethereum has existed for considerably longer than Waves.

But if Waves comes out with a simple to use GUI for token and smart contract creation it could trounce ERC20 easily.

There is a token called Encryptotel that issued a token that works on both ethereum and waves. ETT is a long term investment and had lots of trouble with their ICO but it did enable them to garner lots of free press.

How is that supposed to work? Did they just create one Waves and one ERC20 token each?

Waves platform is better than current ethereum blockchain. Wavesdex features can surplus ethereum features but russian owners of waves platform should  increase the speed of development before some other projects release similar product.

So I am doing the research now, looking at Bittrex API and MEW API for the wallet. Is the is right direction? Just created a test erc-20 coin, very easy.

waves and erc20 (etherium) are both good platform but i mostly see project (ico) that is under on erc20.  i  also choose and prefer erc20 over waves due to the fact that they supports myetherwallet but on waves you need to download and use a separate  wallet which is a hassel for me because i mainly join bounty campaigns that requires a myetherwallet and most of my coins/tokens are under erc20 based.

waves platform is underdeveloped against ecr20 but has big potential , but the development is slow and the value of waves token in exchanges which is not stable is not a good sign either.

It's possible that they are going to do a "bulk" release of updates instead of doing small updates. If that was the case there could be a massive pump. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it. After all, it has been a while since anything happened with Waves.

Of course Apla! Oops, too early

We shouldn't even be comparing these platforms and protocols.  Comparing Ethereum to Waves is like a comparing a Ferrari to a Corvette.  There's a reason why they are different in market cap.  The community and development support is much larger with Ethereum.  The quality of projects are much better on Ethereum.  Waves offers little value other than easily creating tokens with no development experience and its decentralized exchange (which helps increase the volume of poor quality projects).  It doesn't support smart contracts and has been behind on it's development roadmap.

In crypto community, ethereum is more popular and uses for ethereum is diverse and the transaction on ethereum network everyday is increasing! Ethereum is favoured compare to waves. You might want give yourself a better chance at success on your project by using ethereum platform!

I would say that I'll go with ERC20 since there are a lot more people that use Ethereum than Waves. I've read a few arguments that there are a lot of trash and shitty tokens on waves, though comparing this to Ethereum there are also a lot of those kinds of tokens there. If however, you see that Waves is a lot more useful for your project, then why not? I think both of them have their flaws.

waves used very unaccustomed
Still prefer erc20

[gurunanakji777]

I think most of us would prefer ERC20 instead of waves because you can check yourself volume of trading on both platform then you can automatically understand which is the best among both. I have lots of coins on waves platform most of them are useless for me till now I don't know when they will move up very hardly we find buyers there and on the other hand if you check ERC20 support wallet you will find both seller & buyer in good numbers & If you notice that in the recent time most of the coins are launching on ERC20 support platform So I would suggest you to launch your coin on ERC20 support wallet rather then on Waves. Even I don't like to buy coins launching on waves platform its my personal opinion.

[kang_kung]

Waves is a bit new and I haven't seen any big player successful based on Wave network. Meanwhite, ERC20 is.

[jackfruit]

Ethereum assets systems better than wawes, erc20 tokens are easly listed on etherdelta which is rarely the case for waves coins. Most of us don't even hear about waves coins, it takes a place within the dex.

I suggest you should create an ERC20 token, based on ETH blockchain. It's better.

I would choose your place Waves. Just as Ethereum is developing and becoming more and more popular. Following the market I am able to infer that it is very prosperous and is an option.
