To be fair, Bitshares 2.0 is fast, very fast. I recently made an account there but had to watch a few Youtube videos to get started. It is very complicated. But there is a faucet to pay the fees for a newly created account
The referral program and layout are confusing. It has too much. The website doesn't fit my laptop screen and many times the page froze on me. Both openledger and bitshares. It's a shame that Dan left the project before seeing it take off.
1. it takes 2 clicks to create an account, must be really hard
2. you don't need to find any faucet at all
3. you can pay tx fees in any currency traded on the dex
4. it's almost 10x faster than waves
5. it's decentralized while waves is centralized so easy to take down waves order matching
6. the layout is identical to poloniex so maybe you didn't want to use a dex
7. it looks and works exactly like every top quality exchange while waves looks like someone's first hello world app with unusable exchange.
8. "It has too much." is not criticism
9. Decentralized governance/funding platform inside over centralized waves funding
10. I have waves. I am just disappoint it has no new features, but hard to outperform perfection I suppose.
Don't let a small exchange pump on zero tech get to your head, have to be pushing for better features, not just wasting all ico funding on ads.
Waves is decentralized.
I don't get your points.
