Knockout is on the way

Hi people! I am really excited about the lisk platform! Great work devs! As a game developer i really see some interesting opportunities. How reliable are sidechains and can we please address the lisk logo to a more professional looking logo. I really believe that lisk has huge potential.

Lisk went up to 125!!!! great

it will come back there soon on it's way to $1

Ho great can't wait to see that

It looks to be all JavaScript.  Great for a web apps or to consume an API but not the core of a cryptocurrency.  Why?  The same reasons you wouldn't write an OS with JavaScript.

Hellow idiot. JavaScript is all you can want and do in the IT sector.

What OS is written in JavaScript?  Any web or database servers written in JavaScript either.  In fact, NodeJS is written in C++, NOT JavaScript.  Lisk is using the wrong language for something that needs to perform well.  Dev, besides being easier to write, why did you select JavaScript for the core.  You understand JavaScript is missing functionality needed to write core software.   This is a joke or a scam. 

To be onest you are "partly" right, but no at all. C++ is possibly most powerfull language where you can manage all your memory with pointers. That give you basically absolute power with a memmory managment. That's why everybody use C++ for graphics games, because they need that Xtra % of performance. But there are also several problems, which may cause fatal consequences in final. If you wrongly use just one pointer to memmory, it could be like a gate for hackers.

But back to the track.. There was a research which prove that almost 90% of C++ applications are not "optimalized" as it can be, and they actually suffer with a performance lose cause of it. This is pure prove that C++ can be really powerfull but extremlly diffucult to write. Other languages like Java, C# or JavaScript use Garbace collector, which basically manage automatically memmory by itself, for a small % cost of performace. In the other way those languages are far more faster to write in. Thats why they are so popular. Why do you think everybody use Python for chat bots ? Because write chatbot in python is like matter of half hour, on the otherhand write bot in c++ may be work for like 3to4 hours. Why ? because in c++ you must do everything by itself, because chatbot in pythong will be long like 200 lines of code... In c++?? good luck with 1 000 atleast.

Please first look at V8 JS engine from google, which is used in nodejs & google chrome and look how it works. Of couse there can be terrible, extremly terrible JS codes. Which will run 15x or maybe 30x slower than C++ code. But if you don't do "bad practise" in your JS code (mixing datatypes in arrays, extending already existing objects and so on..), it can actually run faster than not optimized code in C++. And yes optimized code in C++ will run faster than optimized code in JS. But its pretty much small % of that performence, what doesnt matter at all. And im sure that Max know how to write optimized and proper JS code inspired by "good practise".

If you don't agree than i lose all hope with you, on the other hand if you don't understand please do your research.

@Nefritox you are on point and I agree with you.  I really like NodeJS and have read Google's V8 source code.  I am impressed with V8's speed.  I use many languages, write/review code every day and would rather use JavaScript, Java, or C# but somethings are best written in C/C++ (and sometimes assembly).  I was just asking if it is appropriate to write the core in a higher level language.  Microsoft built the .NET framework's core with C++ then everything else in C# (same with Java VM).  I do hope Lisk works because it would save me a ton of headaches but I am dubious because of the core.  Ethereum is a pain to work with but I am not sure about Lisk just yet.  Time will tell and I hope I am wrong.    

True, time will tell.

Even if it doesn't happen today, tomorrow when DAO project finishes money will have nowhere to run except lisk, and I'm positive lisk will be a merciless murderer tomorrow!  

Actually, since bitcoin price increased a lot since 12 hours ago, even if lisk/btc ratio remained fixed during these hours (which it did) it still means profit.

Well said my friends, all my best to Lisk and DAO, gonna be a fest tomorrow
dont forget about the Waves ICO too, it's on

[Nefritox]

ETH got so high volume because everybody dumping it.

If DAO tokens pump tomorrow then I might really sell them all and make a buy wall for Lisk. Bigger upside for lisk then for DAO

Here's my take on what might happen in the coming weeks/months

People will think its a great time to buy lisk and invest in DAO tokens, forgetting that there are others before them who bought ata much higher price despite the 1.5x bonus advantage, this will maintain the lisk volume but once DAO tokens begin trading in relation to ETH people will want to cash out their ETH but at that low price they will either hold on doing so or drive the price lower leading to a panic sell, which may funnel into Lisk that may happen in the coming 48-72 hours

Waves has gathered some funds but be it waves or rise (no comparison there), I do not see them offering anything as good as Lisk let alone better than it, Lisk has Azure, 12th highest crowd fund, advantages of ethereum coupled with java script, massive volume gain and public attention and good pr. This i think may cause slight disruption in the Lisk price as waves and rise are released (not sure when), but I strongly think they'll fall back eventually.

The bitcoin halving may also drive the Lisk price higher, coupled with the conferences which Max has planned to attend.

All in all I think Lisk can and may eventually take over a very large portion of Eth volume, although, the Eth DAO will always sustain a good foundation which can decrease eth volatility on the long run.

I'm thinking Eth may increase in volume to 150M USD in the coming weeks, 400M with more public attention and the halving, and up to 600M in a few months. Price may touch on 2USD in the coming weeks, 4 in the coming months and I think may stabilize at 5 or 6USd eventually if all goes well.

For now, what's happening is the market is trying to deal with all the ICO Lisk coming in and manipulating it for short gains, but it will eventually continue to rise.

I know this is stupid, right but how do I get my Lisks now? I can't find to get my Lisk? This should have been clear in the OP. I logged into my Lisk account around 67 Lisk but I should have a loot more?

I used to be able to log in a see the amounts I invested and how many coins? Where is that now?

[Cryptorials]

I have a question about voting:

Initially I voted for three delegates, and this went through fine so they are showing in my votes. I then did a bit more research and wanted to vote for others as well - I've tried quite a few times to vote again but the transaction never goes through - eventually my fee is returned and its removed from the transaction list in my wallet. Is this because I'm trying to do something that's not allowed or just because of problems with the wallet / network congestion?

[bitbitch]

a stable lower price is the perfect invitation to DAO Token holders.

i would ideally like to see DAO/ LSK paired, especially on Polo.

The biggest hit to crypti was bitcoin crashing after it started. It's the opposite with lisk. Bitcoin's starting to pump at the start of lisk, and most altcoins follow bitcoin's price direction. The higher bitcoin pumps, the higher lisk will pump.
