The Ark Crew needs to put a muzzle on cannabanana!

Im sure he done good for the project so its hard to do but he is doing real damage to the ARK image. He has no self control and that is a real problem when he is representing you. He is alright most times but he is not stable and cant always help himself. Most days he is normal but he has these episodes and flys to a rage or troll sessions and when someone points this out he just gets worst.
He did this for Lisk for endless weeks back in the day and thought he is doing good work 'fighting FUD'. not so much.
Is this the same reason you are not saying anything to him? Dont want him to go off on you? Or are you ok with his behavior? If not you have to do something about this before it gets worst. You know it will. Tell him gently to shut the hell up let more reasonable crew post.

And yes this is a throwaway account and yes Im GDT so I know what Im talking about I know what he is like. And no canna I wont react to anything yo say Im sure it will be a lot.
Im posting this when I know he is asleep. How? because he doesnt reply without reason for every single post in a minute. Give. him. Ritalin.

Don't worry, they will follow RISE.

You misunderstand. Im pro ARK going to invest Im just con canna off his meds. He can post whatever he wants but should not when he is representing a serious project. And those in the project should not let him its their job. There is a personal style and there is a businness style of post cant mix the two.

Last post from me this account is thrownaway.

I think a lot of us are having a hard time with the Ark thing going on.

It confuses me.

They keep saying they are great supporters of lisk and going to hold them long term etc.

Now some of the members say you have stolen things and are a little less positive.

Can you just tell something about it, to comfort some of us, regarding the Ark project.

All I can say, the Ark member cannabanana tells a lot of shit.
No one has stolen code, it's open source!
I don't know why this guy does something like that.
But it throws a bad light on Ark, because none of the other members says anything against this bullshit.

What I see cannabanana is a profiteer, he participated in LISK ICO and dump right away for much much profits. He's now off to create scam like ARK, this guy sound and act like the head of ARK dev. From what I see most of these ARK team and advisers are fake, that mean they don't exist.
Now cannabanana trying to create storm and drama in LISK so more people can buy into it ARK ico. Remember this ARK dev guy is Crypti dev guy, the moment he have his hand on ARK Lisk ICO he's going to dump real quick, ahem, cannabanana. The people going to profit from all the crap is profiteer like cannabanana, nothing to lose but pure gold free money.

If you want, I invite you to have this conversation on ark thread.You are wrong on all of your above mentioned statements about canna dumping lisk, about "fake Ark team", about "ArK dev guy is Crypti dev guy" and so on. But, again, this is lisk thread.If you have anything to say about ARK, please write in the dedicated ARK thread and I'm sure someone from the team will answer to your questions, if any. Thank you.

There is no reason for me to waste my time. I just answer to Khilone7 question which is already out there.

You gave your opinion that is easily disproved by anyone who is familiar with the lisk community and willing to do a minimal amount of checking.
Claiming that the members of ARK team and crew are fake is ridiculous.

GDT, the Global Delegate Team is by far the largest organized group in the lisk community. Most of are members are well known in this thread and in the lisk chat. The idea of ARK was born in the GDT private slack that has almost a 100 members. THE ARK Founding Team and ARK Crew members didn't come from some unknown corner of the crypto space, we are known nicks, no way to fake it, it would be discovered in hours. Even more we decided to give our real names and faces to the project. 27 of us. Not many crpyto project can claim the same.

That's all on this subject from me, I too urge anyone who has ARK releated questions to go to the ARK thread.

Hi everyone,could  someone please clearify this Max's post https://mobile.twitter.com/MaxKordek/status/794438037086367744?s=01
Have I mised something or it's  just a methaphor?

It's a vision in my mind. I agree to the author's opinion and work towards a future where the Lisk client will be your gate to blockchain applications/services built on Lisk, which are interlinked and may build upon each other. (Personal opinion, therefore I posted it from my own Twitter account. I do it from time to time.)

Thank you-very interesting and brave vision-Lisk as Internet of applications...

You are welcome. I believe Lisk will be at the forefront of the Web 3.0.

Sounds feasible. Another great niche for Lisk would be IoT -- most devices have already implemented JS APIs.

[leto.atreides]

Yes. You are right. IoT would be and will be the right candidate for a sidechain on top of lisk. I was participating a few days ago at a tech conf and there was some guy from BullGuard, saying that each day there are connected 5.5 mil new IoT devices.I don't know if ipv6 is available yet on lisk.

[AtomION]

what are the news ?

[LemonAndFriesOne]

Remember: There's a lot of high school kiddies and 20 something college students running around in these forums. They have taught themselves how to do basic coding and copy/paste other's work. Very good possibility they are trying to do P&D schemes to buy a new PS4 or XBOXone, one of the explanations why they reply with such stupid comments. This is not directed towards LISK but other upcoming ICOs.

I agree. IoT is something I really would like to see on Lisk, that's why I built a demo IoT blockchain app in the beginning of this year. This app is by now not supported anymore, because I didn't update it. However, it shows what is possible with 1-2 days of work.

 lol

will the lisk raised be used to vote?

While we agreed on holding Lisk long term we yet to make a decision about using the collected Lisk for voting.
The ARK team has a pretty unique internal dynamic. We are many and we always discuss options and won't make a decision until we reached a consensus on an issue. This is something that doesn't work with any group of people but worked for us really well in the last few months since we are working on ARK.

There are however many important and more pressing issues to decide on, Lisk voting is not a priority at the moment. Ask as in a month.

This means they will probably use the collected LSK to vote themselves in Lisk DPoS system.

For me it is clear: I definitely hodl my Lisk and will not invest in this ICO.

lol

will the lisk raised be used to vote?

While we agreed on holding Lisk long term we yet to make a decision about using the collected Lisk for voting.
The ARK team has a pretty unique internal dynamic. We are many and we always discuss options and won't make a decision until we reached a consensus on an issue. This is something that doesn't work with any group of people but worked for us really well in the last few months since we are working on ARK.

There are however many important and more pressing issues to decide on, Lisk voting is not a priority at the moment. Ask as in a month.

This means they will probably use the collected LSK to vote themselves in Lisk DPoS system.

For me it is clear: I definitely hodl my Lisk and will not invest in this ICO.

Everything Max has promised turned to shit Lies.

We create a FAIR DPoS system and Brand new shill accounts come from everywhere to talk about how "untrustworthy" ARK is.   Do you even know how the voting system works in Lisk?

hmmmm.... maybe your parents dropped you on the head as a child?  Lisk has done nothing in 9 months.

I can ask you the same question. Does this look like nothing?

The above was posted in RISE thread, but since they've been copying Lisk code, I guess the same issues are present in Lisk.
Now, are they crazy to create a new code from scratch, OR they're not skilled enough to make it work without Lisk team, OR Lisk code is indeed so bad ?

I know nothing about the Rise Code. But I can tell you the Lisk development since the beginning has made a great step.
And the first priority is stability and security.

Soul, I know you're one of the good guys so I just wana say.  Regardless of that big ass list, it doesn't mean that the code is progressing.  If the fundamentals of the forking are caused by something much deeper, doesn't matter how much "fancy" updates you do, it doesn't fix the underlying problem.
