Long-time NXT user here.
I remember you could trade fiat on the NXT asset exchange using Coinomat's coinoUSD asset as well as assets representing cryptos (e.g. mgwBTC, mgwLTC) using jl777's multigateway.
I know that Coinomat and jl777 were a big part of what made NXT and its AE so successful in its early days so having them is a big plus for WAVES and WAVES' distribution is probably better than NXT's due to the difference in size of their ICOs but feature-wise, what is the difference between WAVES and NXT circa 2014?
