It's questionable whether the ledger is even distributed. I read everything I could find on the platform though and couldn't find anything but marketing speak.

They do link to their github, but that's a bit deeper dive than I have interest for at the moment.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoWaves is a proof of stake platform, there are several large pools staking. I mean maybe thats marketing speak if you don't understand it. The cool thing about waves is that its fun, and that you can lease to people that want to be pools and earn fun stuff. The questionable thing is if the leasing has resulted (or will result) in consolidation making it not distributed.

- ringaroundthetx 9y agoI mean if you found a relevant context to say it then you might have a good pun. People have made it before.
- schnevets 9y agoIt reminds me of those stories from the 90s bubble, when companies would just add ".com" to their name to inflate their value. Are Russians really curious enough about blockchains for this to be effective, or did Burger King's marketing team just decide a $10,000 bitcoin proof-of-concept is more effective than spending an equal amount on traditional advertising?
- abledon 9y agoIf it cost them 10,000$. I bet they'll make it back just on the devs/geeks who want to get in on the silliness of it, id say minimum 2000 devs in Russia would buy a whopper to get some whoppercoin, 2000x5$ = 10,000. Make money back and get exposure haha
