Due to the low price of AQUA at the moment, most of the bounties that I had planned are not currently viable. Translations, thread design, twitter campaigns and other minor things are not a priority. The focus is on the first apps and the website/app directory. I need to be economical with the remaining AQUA. There will be bounties for apps and the other stuff later.


The distribution is over. AQUA was distributed by faucet, a bitcointalk airdrop and 2 slack airdrops.

The DEX GUI will launch today on mainnet, built right in to the lite client. AQUA will be available for trading of course.

No, there have been coins with a supply of 1,000 and even lower.

Tidex is new and in beta. You can report any issues that you have in their thread.

You can try out the first version of the DEX gui here on the testnet: http://testnet.waveswallet.io/

Yes, there are 1,000 coins total (1000.00000000)

I'm working on it, this is a long term project. I'm improving the functionality of the wallet, checkout system, and sdk. Give me a few weeks.

As I've stated several times, the faucets are empty. They will not be refilled.

Don't trust any token until you check the asset id. The user is responsible for checking the asset id of their tokens. The waves platform currently allows the same name to be used an unlimited amount of times. You can see multiple duplicates in this list: http://dev.pywaves.org/assets/. The asset id should be treated as the real identifier of an asset.

Asset IDs that do not match the tokens asset id listed on TIDEX cannot be traded there. In the case of AQUA, that asset id is 6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L

The only AQUA associated with this project is 6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L

This asset id is listed in the main post of this thread, on twitter, on the website, and on slack. It is up to you to do your own quick checking.

There is a lot of valid criticism about waves allowing the same asset name to be used more than once. There is also valid reasoning behind the decision to allow duplicate names. So for now, that is the system that we have.

On the DEX, you will have to manually select and verify the asset id before it can be traded.

Here's a quick temp site that I setup: http://vesselhub.weebly.com/

I wanted to get the basic info onto a dedicated site.

Also here is a look at the DEX on testnet, it could launch this week: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8pnaX7WAAAP2CQ.jpg:large

I think it looks decent, Sasha said that the DEX will look nicer on the mainnet.

Still patiently waiting for my bitcointalk account to be able to post images.  

The value is 50% scarcity and 50% utility.

I'd say the current progress is:

Scarcity - 100%

Utility - 75%

The fact that AQUA runs on the waves network automatically gives it better utility than most coins. The remaining 25% of the utility will come from projects on the Vessel Hub that utilize the AQUA asset.

Onward and upward!

Slack was distracting me too much, I needed to focus. As mentioned in my last post, I'm rebranding the name. The AQUA asset itself will stick around.

I'm going to launch my own slack outside of the waves slack. The projects will expand beyond the waves platform. Almost everyone that was a member of the #aquaproject channel were just there for the free coins any way. I am glad that I brought some new members into the WAVES community, though! 

"Very risky"? Haha. AQUA was given out for free and if you look at the tidex volume, it's not like any one invested their life savings.

Awesome! 

I have spent the last few evenings revamping my plans for AQUA. As I've been working, I've learned a lot about what AQUA should be. I want to get things right the first time. AQUA will now be the official asset of an "aqua hub" (exact name to be announced), that will house all of the projects and services that utilize AQUA and other top assets. The AQUA name will be dropped from the title of the projects, as the applications will have much broader functionality. They will all utilize the AQUA asset front and center and other assets like BTC, WAVES, WBTC, WCT, and RBX will be integrated.

Lots of cool things are happening behind the scenes. There are no set timelines. I will work on things when I have the opportunity and release updates as they are ready. The previous bounties that I had planned aren't viable with the current market price, it's best to hold on to them for now. If you want fast money, you should probably just sell your AQUA now. If you have patience, it will be worth holding onto an AQUA or 2. 

Everyone has to do their own due diligence when it comes to checking asset id's.

To the person that has asked me if assets with the same name will be able to trade with the AQUA listed on Tidex (6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L):

Of course not. The asset id's do not match, which are the real identifier of assets, not the assets "name".

It is actually very simple.

I created an asset called AQUA with 1,000 total coins. Non re-issuable. There has never been a reissue nor will there ever be a reissue.

Multiple other people used the same name AQUA to create assets with 1,000 coins. Re-issuable, meaning that they can add to the supply any time that they want.

My projects will never support an asset called AQUA unless its asset id is 6CmM5wWAhAXKeF8pCmep3tNjyALS7xLL4BpHgaD6rf9L
