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

[geotom]

Pardon me for being stupid, but what is the value (in bitcoin's worth) of the crypti invested in the ICO (at the rate cryptic investors were given)? Trying to work out in my head and coming up with silly numbers.

Doh, sorry - maths fail for me.
Is it just over 1000 BTC or so?

[BitzMD]

I agree, the current lisk logo doesn't instill a sense of seriousness because it looks too amateurish, I think the colorful logos a few posts above me are more appealing. That's just my opinion

I participated in the IPO and received the following.


Passphrase:
Address:
Public Key:

Assuming when the Blockchain is deployed this will translate to a Lisk address and I will be able to get my private key somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for dumb question.  I found my answer here:

I think the logo is OK, but we could have something more simplific, green color also could be nice symbolising that Lisk i more ECO friendly. "L" on the logo would make it more recognizable. Would add some modern details as well. I realy like envato logo how is  presented in intro below. In my opinion something similar tone would be great

As previously stated, we will likely rebrand completely, but this will come later.

I realize that Devs busy preparing for launch, but I think it's crucial that they rebrand now before the launch and before the media and news outlets PROPAGATE the current logo across the internet.

Another important thing to consider is CONFUSION; I've seen many people get confused on exchanges and other crypto services (i.e. ShapeShift) because they keep looking for the wrong coin icon. (Remember late rebrandings of Dash/Darkcoin/Reddcoin etc. ?)

For inspiration; I'm sharing some logos that:

• 1. Emphasize Dapps diversity on Lisk Dapp store with multiple colors.
• 2. User friendly colors (think Google Play / Apple store /Microsot app store colors...).
• 3. Recognizable "L" symbol on exchanges and everywhere like Bitcoin & Litecoin logos (Ethereum diamond logo is just NOT recognizable).[/b]
• 4. Stand out from the rest of the cryptocurrencies logos, because Lisk is special.

Agree that current logo is naff. Needs to change.

Yes, current logo needs to change

[ottobene]

I don't think they will change the logo, they put money making it, they like it, they won't change it because some of you don't like it.
And I don't think the logo will be a problem for lisk in term of growing.

The meaning must be save, but can make it a lot cleaner. It doesn't matter now, there is still much to be done, including this

Well for me the logo it's ok, but if you think it can change something and it makes the project better, it can be changed.

[mangox]

Can you add Lisk to Blocknet?

[Bisha]

The logo needs to be changed. It doesn't inspire confidence. It looks of poor quality, like people didn't care when it was created. A logo needs to catch the eye's attention, look nice and inspire confidence.

Good move on Bter though. That exchange can't be trusted. It got hacked, it didn't redeem funds, many coin holders can't withdraw balances simply because they don't care. You can't withdraw BitShares from it, that's why they are so cheap there. People have lost Qora too and never got them back.

That exchange isn't run by professional people nor by someone who cares about their customers. It is to be avoided at all costs.


As for delegates, people should have a plan on what to do with the lisk they will be earning. Look for ways to improve the network, build stuff or advertise it. Most delegates here won't do nothing bit sit around collecting free Lisk. And later on it will be harder to remove them from their spot so please vote carefully and only for people with a clear plan on what to do with their position. That was one of BitShares' mistakes in the beginning, don't make it twice.

This was my first thought, too, when I saw the logo. It looks very unprofessional. Now, the devs have enough funds to ask a professional designer to create a new astonishing logo

[ottobene]

I have a few questions:

1) Can anyone here keep a list of delegates? It can be on the first page or official website.
2) I have 4 different transactions on the ICO. Can I register as deligate and under what username I must enter in the login.lisk.io page to put my candidacy.
3) What is needed to become a delegate and what responsibilities have a delegate?
4) A delegate may be removed if he fails to doing him responsibility?
5) Can be a delegate to a person who has only buy about 3k LISK on ICO?

I agree.

A logo contest on 99designs.com where the Lisk community gets to pick the winning logo, is the way to go.

I remember Reddcoin did a contest a while back for $299 and got 525 designs by top notch graphic designers, and people picked the winner:

http://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/create-logo-reddcoin-cryptocurrency-seen-millions-286987/entries?filter=all&sort=highest&groupby=false

I second this.  99designs works every time, love crowdsourcing graphics!

The logo is a bit early 2000's so I am glad to hear of possible redesigning.  It would be great as Lisk gets more press to have a new logo as  the face.

1. A list of those who are interested and planning on Delegating?

2. You can register as a delegate with any account, as long as you pay the 100 LISK registration fee. The username is of your choosing, the more reputable you are, the more likely you will be selected as an active delegate.

3. You need a Lisk account with 100 LISK. The responsibilities of a delegate are strictly securing the network. You will be forging blocks and processing transactions constantly. Your Delegate node will display a percentage uptime, the higher the percentage the better (100% being the best).

4. You will be un-voted towards the 102+ standby delegate positions. The standby delegates do not forge any blocks, they are just waiting or campaigning for more votes to get into the 101 active delegation.

5. Yes, you can. You will need to find votes from the community.

Thanks. Usefull info
But i have more question:

6. If I don't have programming skills, how hard technically for me is set the node?

7. Is there a direct dependence from the number of coins on account, how many LISK will be forged?

8. Now all accounts have 0 LISK, then how register as a delegate to the vote ( we all know that 100 LISK needed for this) ?

Logo contest!

No, You lost BTC Because YOU used BTER NOT Because BTS or XMR made you lose it.

That's not what he was trying to say.

He lost it because of Bter, how can you blame the victim for the crime?

Are you one of those who reckons a girl asks to be raped because she wears a tight skirt?

Edit:

Well done to the devs on the Bter decision, it was the right thing to do when all the choices were shit.

[cc001]

Firstly I want to agree with anyone who thinks that sharing their forging income with people who voted for you is not the way to go.  I'm  pretty  sure that buying the votes to stay in top 101 in many cases gonna cause laziness in delegates.  Although they may keep the node secured, updated and active most of the time, in my opinion that's only a part of the job what ACTIVE Delegate should do..

I would see delegates more like an Ambassadors who gonna actively promote Lisk among JS developers and later even among the potential users of dapps.  

I totally agree. You found a place on my voting list

Totally good idea and experience.

After the successful ICO, LISK need a better logo. Good way to make a contest for it from the crowfounded money :-)

Ok, here is something I think about: How come, if the logo is so amateurish and bad, this project managed to collect that much BTC in the ICO? Now, don't try the "good tech" stuff, while this might be the fact to an extent, you still have to find LISK to actually look at it.

To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of the logo either, but there are so much shitcoins with shiny logos out there, where the looks of the logo and wallet is the only thing they have going for them.

I like that this logo is different. However the new logo will look, it should somehow manage to keep this "different-ness".

Currently the real network is not yet online. login.lisk.io is only a test network. You will have to wait until the start (around 11th of April) to register your username and put your votes.
You can use login.lisk.io in the meantime to play around and learn some stuff.
