[ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers

[mladen00]

What would your reactions be if they delay it till end of May/early June?

maybe end of this year   

They said May, but not which year... right? 

it will be launch when everything will be ready...
When? - it is not so important

Agreed. I'm a huge fan of going in the right direction as opposed to going at the right speed.

The team is still very very small. I think Max need to hire more people. 3 people can't change the World.

if i didn't have a point or weren't right in pointing this out the banana user wouldn't say i'm trying to be smart. i appreciate that. others agreed with me and i'm glad i raised this.

Sadly, barely anyone agrees with you.

Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto-currency platform even though the client is downloaded from a centralized server.

Lisk is a decentralized application platform even though the dapp is currently downloaded from a centralized server.

You are clinging on some aspects of decentralized applications, stating a "true" DaPP should be decentralized in every manner.

What is rather outstanding is you also cling to the idea Bitcoin is not decentralized...

here we have the definition for the Dapp my Maxx:

An application which becomes decentralized because it runs on a blockchain with a big number of servers. All servers are controlling each others computations and correct them if needed. Same as Bitcoin, Lisk or Nxt are decentralized application themselves.
E.g. Bitcoin only has the feature to send tokens around. However, a Lisk dapp can has mostly any feature, e.g. saving an arbitrary value onto the blockchain, calculating a deterministic value and so on.

We don't store any code on the blockchain. Dapps needs to be deterministic, yes.
Then they're not dapps. Your use of that term is very confusing. dapps, by definition, have their code stored on the blockchain and are audited by the nodes. You just have a blockchain that links to JavaScript apps.

So once and forever:

Dapps on Lisk are not decentralised downloaded (the same as bitcoin regarding to Lisk), nor saving data on the blockchain, so everyone can use it decentralised (like Ethereum with smart contracts) but a app can save some numbers on the blockchain, and it can use Lisk (which is a decentralised software) thats making Lisk Dapps decentralised. It cant run from data on the blockchain, because of Javascript limitations. An Dapp like Augur is impossible, IOT Dapps possible.

Is the GmbH already founded? When is the publishing date?

When is the guy for the roadmap going to be hired, so there can devs get hired for the roadmap?

[bcmine]

I'm looking forward to the  first month after LISK has been launched.  We'll see how the beta versions of dapps running on the Lisk  sidechains impress web develops with experience in JavaScript. 

make some months out of it or one year. look at ethereum, bitcoin, maid, ripple..... you need like one year at least to get a high price for coin.

This is wrong. I specifically said that you can save "data on the blockchain". Something like Augur is possible.

Is there a more precise date for the Official Lisk Mainnet Launch yet than end of April?

Not yet.

But, stay tuned, announcement of launch date could be coming any day now! 

please don't launch on a weekend or a Monday. that's all i ask.

[lokojones]

I don't meant FUD but it's not really good time to trade IOU market just now.

Shapeshift seems hacked and currently down.

Go their official site you will see their statement.

This may impacted recent alt coin price drop but I am hoping they will recover soon, at least before LISK go live.

Someone has gotten smarter and knocked it down eventually. I always thought they were scamartists, and was amazed at how many ppl out there send them money for "shifting". Coming back after huge hack wont work this time unless they declare complete insolvency.

inside job, one of the employee got greedy and sold keys to the hacker... I will stay from IUO as far as possible, none one give you real obligation in cryptoland

Karma is a bitch.  

ShapeShift deserves to be hacked.

That's what they get for trying to distance themselves from Lisk ICO.

Thank God Lisk ICO funds are now safe at Coinbase Vault.

صديقي يقول لي لشراء ثلاثين ألف دولار هذه العملة. كيف؟

Thank you very much for your valuable input!

[redcastle]

When? - it is not so important

Agreed. I'm a huge fan of going in the right direction as opposed to going at the right speed.

The team is still very very small. I think Max need to hire more people. 3 people can't change the World.

They don't have access to $6 million of ICO funds until Lisk launches, according to ICO terms.

Once they get that money, then they can start hiring programmers and some sexy secretaries

Less dapps, more sexy secretaries!

I'm actually developing a Dating Dapp like Tinder that you can use to hookup with some double D's.

Thank you very much for your valuable input!

Google translate says that he wants to buy $30,000 worth of Lisk

Real translation is: his friends told him to buy 30,000 USD worth of LISK and he is wondering how to buy?

i've got a hundred Lisk going spare. I'll do that deal.

[rtrtcrypto]

You think a guy with 30k extra cash to throw at LISK has a 350k mortgage? ROTFL.
Maybe 350k a year mortgage.

If he buys $30,000 worth of Lisk at $2 on Poloniex and sells few weeks later when it peaks at $25 to $30, he'll walk away with $375K to $450K

Mortgage = Paid off !

[rtrtcrypto]

Yeah, normal... sure.

$30K to throw at Lisk is actually normal.

$350k a year mortgage, that's not normal.
