Official Lisk Mainnet Launch - End of April

Up until today, we had estimated an official launch of the Lisk platform for April 11th, 2016. Unfortunately, there have been setbacks concerning the generation and validation of keys, associated with each ICO exchange. Consequently, we have decided to delay the official launch to the end of April, the worst case scenario being early May.

The delayed launch will not be in vain; not only will it provide the community enough time to generate and validate their keys, we will also implement important security features into the platform.

Passphrase Validation

As of today, 87% of all ICO participants have generated their keys and claimed their passphrases, while only 44% have validated them. The validated passphrases percentile provides the team a degree of certainty that ICO participants have saved the correct passphrases. We need this as high as possible to follow through with the official launch. Current status:

- 13% not claimed passphrases: ~1,800 BTC or $750,000
- 56% not validated passphrases: ~7,840 BTC or $3,292,800

At the present time we would have to escrow over $750,000 in LISK, while having the uncertainty of potentially $3,300,000 in incorrectly recorded keys. We feel these numbers need to be reduced.

Starting this week, we will send out emails to all users who have not yet generated or validated their passphrases.

Paving the way for a bright future

After discussions with individual community members and advisors, we have decided to deviate from our current pre-launch roadmap, and focus towards improving the security first. The updated pre-launch roadmap will be available this week, and will include the plans for building a modular crypto-currency, the implementation of mnemonic checksums, updated fees and much more.

Modular Crypto-Currency

Lisk is poised to become the first truly modular crypto-currency by utilizing sidechains as a solution to scalability. Lisk sidechains allow us to implement various features into the Lisk main network as Decentralized Applications (Dapps). This not only makes single features optional, it also keeps the Lisk mainchain streamlined in comparison to other crypto-currencies.

Mnemonic Checksum

Crypto-currency brain wallets have a history of problems concerning users choosing too simple passphrases for their accounts. It’s important to understand that the passphrase represents the private key of your account. Therefore, we integrate mnemonic checksumming of passphrases that conforms to BIP39, forcing users to generate highly secure passphrases directly inside our client (12 words like: all spike short ill claim field credit doctor paddle appear price music).

Responsive Design

Lisk community members are already working on mobile clients for Android and iOS. If you want to access your Lisk account inside your smartphone browser you are able to do so right at launch - thanks to our responsive design.

Updated Fees

We feel the current fees are a bit on the expensive side. Prior to the official launch we will adjust the fees accordingly to make them accessible and affordable to the community. Conversely, we also believe that fees should have an impact to discourage name squatting and low quality delegates or decentralized applications. For this reason, we are evaluating the current fees associated with delegate and dapp registrations.

In summary, we strengthen the stability and security of the network while the community completes their validations, and hopefully officially launch by the end of April. These are very exciting times, and we are as excited as everyone to experience the next technological revolution. Thanks for the support on testing the public network, you will soon have another version to play with.

Kind regards,

Max, Oliver & Joel

would it have been so hard to send said emails like mmm ,, maybe a week ago?

[Reavon]

I am glad it is delayed , this way i can prepare my test delegate and test more so we have  100 percent stable nodes.

Yea how more stable nodes the better

[piebeyb]

Oh, good, I can skip the next 10 pages. Whining whiners and FUDsters are incoming.
Delay, because ppl are lazy? SCAM!

enjoy it bro, at least the information continue to be provided here only a few delays the time for the holder of ICO

13% claimed not passphrases: ~ 1,800 or $ 750,000 BTC
56% not validated passphrases: ~ 7.840 BTC or $ 3,292,800

so please be patient and it will soon launch 🙂

I think mainnet launch in summer, the developers received much money and nowhere in a hurry

Totally agree, however reminder email should be sent to all who have not claimed or validated asap.

[MaGNeT]

would it have been so hard to send said emails like mmm ,, maybe a week ago?

Yup... The Lisk team could have sent an e-mail to every ICO participant about 1 or 2 weeks ago to make sure they validate their passphrases.

Not that I make such a big deal of delaying the launch but with a little bit more effort, launch could be within a week.

[GiftEncounter]

This is an opportunity to continue to build the customer base/demand for the LISK tokens at the release of the main net

Keep spreading the word like my friends are doing.



The Lisk Team should at some point pay to be heavily featured on Coindesk. That's how it's done with Coindesk 
Like buying politicians buying the right PR people pays off 100x in ROI

I just think it needs to delay but, hopefully, this april they really launched, cheers

[Kevinrasf]

The longer people have to wait the more they crave that awesome cool LISK.

price will now be 10 dollars at start.


Also Congrats on page 400

All ICO money are in escrow, only get released when blockchain launches.

I don't know the price of 1 LISK at start. But i am sure its closer to 10 cents as to 10 dollar.

Hello LiskHQ,

Do your realize not every Lisk ICO participant may be a regular visitor of Bitcointalk and may not be aware of the fact that they have to validate their keys?
I sent you a message by PM too, you may have read it already.

Sending an e-mail would speed up things.

[jeremy grol]

So, launch delayed to april end-may? Right?

[DaMart]

would it have been so hard to send said emails like mmm ,, maybe a week ago?

Yup... The Lisk team could have sent an e-mail to every ICO participant about 1 or 2 weeks ago to make sure they validate their passphrases.

Agreed. I actually didn't know I had to do something until I read your message on another forum a couple of minutes ago...
