When is the big announcement?

i don't know, but it had better be good - Peter and the wolf comes to mind. reputations are on the line here.

all ive heard is two advisers name will be given. it must be a really big deal if they buildng this kind of hype. if not imafraid it could crash

We said nothing at all about the announcement itself. Just that we announce something bigger this week to which I'm on a personal level really looking forward to. All hype is generated by the community, not by us. People need to calm down. This is just the beginning and everything done at this moment is to get the foundation right. We need a strong one to build on.

it would be a better strategy not to trail announcements ahead of time if you want to keep things 'real', and "big" is hype.

Agreed!
LiskHQ needs to understand that his life before Lisk is in the past.  What you say , how you say it, and when you say will now steer the markets.  If Vitalik Buterin said there will be a big announcement for ethereum the price will increase 20 percent.
Please don't play ignorant Max.

Hello everyone, I am a long time reader of this forum..invested into ETH back around Sept of last year. I am wondering is it worth selling some of my ETH or all and buy LISK?

I have some questions regarding this project first thank you, :

1. What advantages does LISK hold over other crypto coins in terms of value - coin supply etc ?

2. What advantages does LISK hold over other coins in terms of tech? - how innovative is this coin? - as innovative as ETH?

- sorry for stupid questions. This is my first Post here on BTC talk and looking forward to building a strong community. I really like the idea and name of this coin. Just have some questions that need answering first.


Thanks so much guys.

Hello LiskKing,

1.

In comparison to other crypto coins on the market we have the huge advantage of a strong leadership and $8M in fundings. Only a handful of projects have this, I think right now there is only Waves, Ethereum, and all Ethereum sub-currencies like DigixDAO. That means we are in the same comfortable situation as other top projects. We can properly develop and promote our platform for many years.

An advantage in the coin supply is not relevant. We have 100,000,000 LSK right now and it's rising slowly after community delegates are in the top 101. I don't see any advantage in a coin with 10M or 1BN coins.

If we speak about market cap and volume we have a lot of advantages. We are in the top 10 that means we get a lot of attention and publicity. Everyone into altcoins knows Lisk and developers see Lisk as a big enough platform to build on. With a daily volume of a few millions consistently since launch we are also a good project for traders. I think these numbers will only grow the more users and apps we get, but that is of course only speculation.


2.

In my opinion Lisk is extremely innovative on a meta layer. So innovative that it attracts a lot of hate and FUD. We are utilising sidechains as the first cryptocurrency ever, we are the first platform ever for blockchain applications written in JavaScript. It's important to know that Lisk is using the best parts of other projects (DPoS, sidechains, JavaScript) in order to build an innovative mix. In itself these parts are not extremely innovative, but sophisticated technologies. The real innovation will come with the blockchain apps build on top of Lisk. The Lisk platform is an enabler for innovation by using technologies which were built by the brightest minds on earth in the past years.

Additionally, we put a lot of our focus into the mainstream and consumer market. This might not manifest itself at this moment, but in 1-2 years people will see how all the different puzzles come together.

JavaScript: Opens up blockchain technology and decentralization to the masses.
Sidechains: Makes an app independent of the system and lets the whole system scale massively in an easy way. If it's not enough the complicated stuff can always be integrated later on.
Web user interface: Changes can be introduced very quickly, new features can be added easily by nearly every web developer.
Application directory: Establishes Lisk as an alternative to Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store, giving the users a direct overview of all apps running on the Lisk network.
DPoS: Makes the whole platform and ecosystem self-sufficient. In a more centralized (but therefore faster) way than a DAO, projects can be funded, causes can be supported, and the community as a whole with the 101 delegates in front of them can decide on where to spend the money. In the coming years the decision process can always be switched out for a completely decentralized solution.


It's important to know that Lisk is just at its beginning. We launched two weeks ago and a lot of work until now just went into managing things and getting the necessary processes in play. Once everything is established the development will be faster and more efficient. Additionally, there might be a lot of uncertainties at this stage. But that's always the case for new and innovative projects. E.g. if someone says that an app can only be done with smart contracts, we can integrate them into our sidechains. If someone says that there is no synergy between Lisk apps, there can always be bridges built creating synergy. A lot is moving, the current technical state about Lisk says nothing about the future Lisk.

Thank you so much for your detailed and thought out response sir.

LiskHQ is doing a good job!
He is only saying the truth, that shows me how honest and credible LISK is
The only problem are the guys which overreact!
but on the other side it's good when i can buy the dump (less weak hands)
You may see the trend over many days, and not get panic if a person, which has no patience, dump many coins.
The winners will be the guys which are holding strong

Did anyone here see this?

Lisk and banks, at a meeting in september

LISK is not only coin speaking with banks friends

I never stated he was doing a bad job.
I am just pointing out there are power behind Max's words now.
With great power comes great responsiblity.
That"s why there are things called public relations and Spokesperson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokesperson

Most CEOs are horrible at public relations especially self proclaimed CEOs. 
It wasn't like he was elected by a board.
This a start up project with huge potential!
I am amazed at the work the Lisk team has accomplished so far but they are not expert at every sector of international business.  No one  is hence why businesses hire experts to support the company.  Lets not forget all the times the Facebook CEO made a fool of himself with his comments.  Luckily he has learned as time went by.  I hope Max will as well for the well being of all of the investors of LSK.

Its in them minutes of panic between polo going down and a twitter status, that you realise you shouldn't hold all your coins on 1 exchange.. luckily my lisk is safely in my wallet.
