I do think so too. Let me ask you a question. What do you think of Ethereum's hard fork? Yes we frown upon it, but do you think it will hinder its success in the future? Will Vitalik be able to say the end justifies the means in the end?

I would like my question to be answered please. I think it is fair to ask these questions because you are asking for money from the public. So of course we have the right to find out and know if you will do good with the money given to you.

But the design of the DAO made it allowable for the attacker to transfer ether. He found a loop hole in the smart contract and in doing so the "fault" is not really a fault.

As for the "door is locked" comparison, nothing was unlocked or broken. There was a loophole in the smart contract and the attacker made a transfer of ether.

If you really thought what the attacker did was wrong, what does that make the developers or the DAO?

Don't worry some of us get it and can wait. But it wouldn't hurt as Lisk advisor to advise Max to hurry up.

Hehehehe. I'm joking. Anyway can you give us a timeline on when these milestones will be achieved?

It takes a special kind of person to become a winning gambler. If you want to know if you have that special something to become a good gambler, look in the mirror. If you're married, has kids, has a house, a nice car and a stable job then you don't have that special something. Stay away from gambling because it will surely wreck your life.

Gambling is only fun if you can beat the game and keep winning. If you keep losing and still find it fun, then you need help.

It can also be a challenging endeavor and can be fun if you are progressing in becoming a good gambler.

You are wrong. There is a smart way to gamble if you utilize the strategy and the mathematics of gambling properly. If you just make bets and hope to get lucky then that is one stupid way to lose your money surely.

I beg to differ. It is already stabilizing at the current level. If it were to go down some more it will stabilize even more at 25k level. Anything less will make it go down further below 20k level. But more it will more likely be staying at current price level.

Thank you for the update although it isn't that much. Everything is wait and see but who said crypto development can be hurried. It is just different when you have money on the line. People get very anxious even if it's only a small amount. The smaller the amount invested the bigger whiner they are. There is a correlation maybe someone should make a study.

With a quick glance I like lbry. Because of the recent success of steemit I speculate that lbry will be even more successful. The need for humans to connect and to express themselves is innate in all of us. That made social media platforms very successful. Now take that idea and give the profit back to the people will be very appealing if the mainstream only knew about these decentralized platforms like lbry being developed.

It would be more prudent for the vericoin developers to just give up on the coin and start anew than doing this scheme that is copied from NXT. With NXT I don't mind that they're doing it because they are just doing it for the very purpose of reviving the platform. But for vericoin everyone in the community knows about the story of the attack and the roll back and they have not really recovered from it. That makes the whole thing scammy. This is just my opinion.

I don't think Wings will have to depend on the success of Ethereum, hard fork or no hard fork. A platform will only gain true success under its own merits if it is truly better than the rest. And of course an excellent marketing will really be a big help too. If you think that Wings is not truly better than the rest and that it doesn't have an excellent marketing team then it would be best to stay away for now.

Why is there a need to increase the amount of full time paid developers? How many people are working on Lisk at the moment? And I think development can still continue without a formal office for the time being. People can always collaborate around the world using github, video chat software, slack, etc. This a new age of start ups. Offices are just for formalities sake.

How will it prosper more? What does Rise have that the other don't and how will that make a difference in the eyes of the serious investors?

The legalities in the cryptosphere is in the gray area at best. The attacker can argue that the exploit he did was all in the rules of the DAO and there that no theft took place. And in the side of Vitalik, they should have done a better job with the security audits. How can you store 150 million dollars worth of ether in the DAO and thinking that no one will try to attack it? That is very incompetent of them.

How far can Stratis devs work on the project if the ICO doesn't reach 1000 btc or not even near it? If you need money in the middle of development what is the Stratis team's plan in getting more funds to continue development? Let us not be naive here. If Stratis developers want to be on top it will take years of development.

"October 5, 2016: The first round of the lumen giveaway to bitcoin holders will conclude. If there are unclaimed lumens, they’ll go to Stellar.org’s operational fund.

Due to regulatory restrictions, this program is closed to residents of the U.S. states of New York, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Connecticut as well as the nations of Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and other countries subject to sanctions by the United States. These restrictions are subject to change to account for changes in regulatory posture."

Why will the unclaimed lumens go to Stellar.org? Why just not touch it and leave it be if no wants it. I believe Stellar.org is getting short in funds and must find a way to get lumens without making it look bad on their side.

I cannot send the sig campaign bitcoins to my Yobit wallet. Does anybody else have the same problem?

Or nothing like what happend to the DAO should happen. The developers behind it are smart people but it was their incompetence that caused for the DAO to be open to attack and exploitation. They should have done a better job of doing the security audits and scrutinzed Solidity much further.

R3 listens to Mike Hearn with everything concerning cryptocurrencies and platforms. So to know what his opinion about Lisk is would make you know somehow if Lisk has a chance with R3.
