for our vision.

mxxxxxx, can you try in one sentence to describe your vision? I know that's hard but I'd love to know!

Waves team is building first production system on top of Scorex framework where Waves token will be the fuel of whole platform and all transactions happening there, from issuing the assets, through transfer, depositing and withdrawing other supported currencies on the platform. Focus is on custom asset creation, lite client, end-user, no blockchain download, decentralized exchange, asset-asset trading, fiat assets, working with payment providers from the start and being decentralized kickstarter at the same time. Other features and apps/plugins center will be appearing in meantime. Waves will have its own implementation of POS, its own transaction types, its own unique reputation system on the blockchain and many more things. Rewards will be distributed between all network users who have a balance, above full nodes, all lite client end-users will be able to lease their balance to full nodes and receive rewards also. So above Waves token being the fuel of the whole platform there will be also incentives from the network itself. We will develop own crosschain asset protocol for Waves-Ethereum assets and similar blockchains and we will integrate crosschain asset protocol from SuperNET as for Bitcoin blockchains also.

sasha35625 "We support the Mycelium vision of creating a full-scale blockchain-agnostic mobile wallet, and would like to help Mycelium team bring it even further - by providing not only cryptocurrency but also fiat transfers within their wallet service. We believe in a certain convergence of fiat and crypto in the long run, so this should be one of the first steps in this direction. We need to provide some kind of an open-blockchain solution that can be used by existing financial services in order to reduce costs and provide a certain level of decentralization for their users. Blockchain-powered fiat transfers will be used in variety of applications, including cross-border remittance, traditional online merchant payments, crowdfunding etc. The sky is the limit here."


Can you elaborate little more on the following:
-fiat assets -> what are they? more details please if possible...
-working with payment providers from the start -> what payment providers? do you talk to any of them?
-own implementation of POS -> what will be differences between regular POS and your implementation?
-all lite client end-users will be able to lease their balance to full nodes and receive rewards also -> is this something like delegated harvesting in NEM?

Fiat tokens issued and fully backed by payment providers, will be announced before gateways integreation. Tech paper will be available in late May/early June. Anyone who has balance above 0 will be able to get rewards from the network by hosting full node or leasing their balance. No idea about NEM.
