I think just be patient for a while.

Imagine no exchange wanted to list a coin. How will such a coin get off the ground? Yes, there are scam coins listed, but there have been good coins as well that started on Yobit. Also, they give coins the benefit of the doubt and take a long time before de-listing which has also seen some revivals and lifelines in certain cases because the coin was still listed. Their withdrawals are also super fast.

How are you going to do that?

I have not had any bad experiences with Yobit so far. In fact I have picked up some bargains there.

Fast out of the blocks

Over time there will be many blockchains because the world will never standardize. Currently there are fiat service providers that facilitate the translation between currencies and facilitate the movement of funds cross-border eg. SWIFT et al. It is unlikely that this will change in the fiat world as governments and central/reserve banks like to maintain control over their own currency. It is most likely that a similar environment will arise with virtual currency where there are service providers doing the necessary translations between block chains. Reserve banks might have control over their money supplies eg. the VC Bank of England is working on. In a similar way there will be others and the service provider will have many chains in their systems doing the translations.

It looks like LISK (IOU) price is gradually declining, although it could be a general thing currently in the market. It is a pity about the IOU because the IOU might just have taken the steam of the initial rise and decline usually seen with new coins. There is normally a quick rise and decline and then the price settles and then enters the development phase and is dependent on the development work. If development work is poor the price goes down further and if the development work is good then price will rise again. What is clear is that the IOU portion of the LISK money supply is insignificant to the total money supply and should not necessarily be seen as indicative of the price of the main supply of the real coin. This is because a small supply is very much sensitive to price movements especially in an environment where a lot of hype was created and people are impatient with anticipation. The real price could be much higher or much lower.

The next thing that will impact LISK is what will happen on launch day. If a significant portion of the 100m finds it way to the market without the corresponding demand the price will go down. If there is enough demand the ICO investors will exit at a profit and the new investors (and/or whales) will take over at the new floor and do their thing. Most people have a short term profit objective without necessarily worrying too much about what a coin is about as long as whatever the dev team and community does enhances the chances of their objective being met. The chances are therefore higher that a significant portion of the supply will go to market relatively quickly after launch because most holders with a short term profit objective will want to execute their strategy as quickly as possible at maximum profit. The ICO investor mix plays an important part. If the ICO mix were more big investors caring about the coin and future potential less coins will hit the market early on. If the mix were more day traders that would do anything to make a bitcoin or 2 they will exit as soon as they can make that 1 bitcoin and they will jump with joy. Chances are higher though based on statistics that the latter option is the case but not necessarily.

LISK holders must just hope that the wind was not taken out of its sails with the IOU thing and momentum negatively impacted so that that is not seen as the initial rise and decline of the coin. I hope for everyone that there will still be another one after the coin launches for real. However, imo, holding should be more long term for LISK and I hope there are many people with a long term objective in the ICO investor mix.

Also, most of the time with mining rig companies it becomes a matter of waiting lists, then time delays then new and better products from competitors and by the time one gets the product it is outdated.

How will you guarantee this is not the case with your company?

There is definitely a need for something proper for eSports. With the BTC raised in the ICO the devs should be able to build it. Previous attempts to do this did not have this type of funding to get it right.

Human nature at play here in this post - greed and each guy for himself  

I want to buy some pre-launch tokens and fly to the moon. 

There is nothing wrong with an asset exchange like NXT and tokens traded on it. The devs will know who bought into the ICO and will manage the issue of the coins when they become available in the end. As long as the initial distribution of tokens is solid (accuracy, integrity, completeness, validity, non-repudiation etc.) in line with the ICO then all is fine. Tokens can then be traded and whoever can produce a token by the time the actual coins become available can swop their tokens for actual coins.

Nice

I got a query from someone regarding a Raspberry Pi3. I tested the wallet on a Pi3 and it works fine.

It is not necessary for a pool and also not profitable. Stake rewards from POS is much more material than the POW rewards and staking seems to go along ok. POW rewards is negligible. If it ever comes to the point where there are no more POS stakes for whatever reason, then POW will come into play again.

And my new price of 500 still stands.

It needs a block explorer first.

If you invest 1 BTC you will get 1 BTC worth of tokens.
