Here's a screen shot where you can deploy a Jumbucks node as a Blockchain as a Service artifact on the Microsoft Azure platform. Very cool!

For your interest. I'm full time Lisk. I obviously canceled all my exams. Right now I'm working over 100 hours for Lisk every week. I cannot compete with Vitalik on mathematical/theoretical dicussions. If we talk about user experience I'm miles ahead. For other characteristics I don't know Vitalik good enough.

Personally, I like to compare Lisk's approach to Apple's. We build an all-round solution here: Dapps, Sidechains, Dapp Store, Clients, Explorer, Faucet etc. with the best possible user experience for our users.

Medium long-term (6-12 months) we are tackling the mainstream crowd. Looking outside of the crypto-currency community, getting fresh blood into Lisk. To do this, we need to make some drastic changes and bold moves. However, Oliver and I definitely know what sort of applications a "regular user" can manage and what areas of a crypto-currency platform should better be hidden from them.

Here are some observations.

Jumbucks Version 1.9 was released this 22 days ago which allowed time for most to upgrade (over 75% of nodes).

In the first yellow box, the Interval column, we can see that thanks to the changes in version 1.9, daily block times are now more stable around the 60 second mark.  Prior to this, daily block times were around 48 to 57 seconds.

In the 2nd yellow box, the Transactions column, we can see that wiith the addition of the Jumbucks Slack tip bot, transactions have increased nicely.

On another note, I have experienced issues with withdrawing Jumbucks from the exchange Cryptsy and so has at least one other person (https://twitter.com/alex_sterk/status/651462998737879040).  I've filed a support ticket with Cryptsy but unfortunately there's not much that can be in this situation.  This illustrates a reason why it's important not to hold large amounts of cryptocurrencies on 3rd party exchanges.
