Ethereum vs Lisk

[Abiky]

There is going to be an ICO for the release of a new coin, or should I say a decentralized platform for applications, similar to Ethereum called Lisk. Seeing it myself, it looks very promising and it will be a true competitor to ETH, but I would like to hear your opinion regarding this new kind of platform.

Whereas ETH uses solidity programming language, Lisk would use JavaScript which would be easier for developers to adapt to it since it is one of the most popular programming languages out there. What do you think?

Quite honestly, I haven't got a clue because I can't get my head around the technology of either of them.
Its total gibberish to me. I know the tech is great but it doesn't  help folks like me knowing if I should
invest or not.
This is surely a problem developers need to start taking much more seriously.To me it just feels like devs are competing
with each other with each new coin and enriching themselves in the process. Isn't the tech there already to get coins out for mass adoption?
I do try and tell friends about alt coins but they can't even get their heads around the very basic stuff let alone programmer speak.

 Six years now and no alt coin is being used in the real world on a daily basis by regular people buying everyday goods. Thats a big
problem. Why can't this stuff be made easier to understand for the masses. Why isn't there a wallet with exchange technology built in as if it were made
for a 3 year old to understand, sell coins directly to the public and get them trading but without them having to go to exchanges, worrying about security,
delving in to blockchain tech etc.

I know a lot of people around here love all the tech side.I like tech, but I like tech I can use like Skype, Email, Photoshop, Music software, paypal. Everything I use
on a daily basis seems natural in design. Almost everything in Crypto seems like its made for techie types to use.

Not Fud, Just saying....I do now 50 ETH btw

Crypti has been in development for 1,5 years. It's dying. Lisk is a way for Crypti PR guy Max Kordec to gather some BTC and to fork Crypti. Leed developer of Crypti is not on the board.

I understand what you have just stated here mate. As a matter of fact, I could say that not either ETH or any other alt coin has given priorities to become used as a mainstream currency or platform. Not even providing a user friendly wallet for non techies to get used to the coin. I think that the only coin that has done its best to become mainstream is Bitcoin. Just my opinion. 

Regarding to Lisk, I will be keeping an eye on this one. Perhaps, it could be something really useful.

The LISK ICO will probably not make as much as the ETH ICO did

Why do you believe that? It seems to have some very good backing and ideas behind it.

Do you know how much ETH made in their ICO?  (Hint: approx. $18M)

Because it has no original ideas.  It's just an ethereum imitator. People aren't stupid.

When?

[houlala1]

Imitator and a fork coin then they ask you money for their ico

When and where? I want to try trading ICO.

no idea yet with this OP, but I'm interested with this competition maybe yes lisk will make his name as alternative altcoin like eth, but in other way around eth already got his name so it will not easy for lisk to repeat what eth has been made with regarding to alt industry but will keep checking this thread for some updates. thank you

I'm haven't invested in either of them - and don't intend to do so in the future - but I like ethereums approach better. Everything in a single chain imho makes sense for smart contracts. Having a sidechain for every single Dapp surely has it's advantages but i guess we'll have to see which one works better.
However if you're going to run sidechains and dedicated nodes for Dapps (which I understand is necessary, plz correct me If I'm wrong here) then why force Javascript down people's throats ? There are sandboxes out there that work with more than just one language (like whatever Ripple is using for it's Oracles).

I haven't looked into either of them closely though so maybe I shouldn't be posting at all

[hoertest]

i think its great to have some competition in this whole dapp, iot, plattform field. specially with different approaches, not only eth clones with some tweeks.
Crypti was dying because of bad marketing and lack of funds. it totally went by me to be honest. but looking at the lisk technology now that its presented that well it looks really promising and its READY NOW. thousands of javascript devs can have a go at it in roughly 4 weeks. while eth seems to attract more big institutional Projects I think Lisk will be much more used by a wider Groundbase of app developers . In this way they can also complement each other well.

Its also not true  that the crypti dev isn't on board. he is as an advisor

I'm planning to hold both thats for shure.

Lisk will crash and burn. 

All the perfect infredients for a pump and dump

1.  Rushed development of unoriginal idea to get on ETH bandwagon
2.  Fork of unknown scamcoin
3.  Developer who asks on ethereum reddit for help understanding javascript
4.  Promoted through spam

You could be right but after all your Eth shilling no one believes anything you say.

My ETH shilling will be vindicated once everyone who follows my advice to buy ETH becomes moderately wealthy.

Could be so but too much shilling of any one coin kills your credibility to be objective and give well balanced information or advice. Having said that I am holding on to my last few 100 eth.


Why is the lead dev of crypti not onboard?? that is worrying??

That could be right, but as I see that Lisk supports JavaScript, I am pretty sure that most developers would get used to it and thus make it easier to use the Lisk platform. JS is very popular so it might give a good start to Lisk. By the way, ICO has just started but I will wait a few days to invest a little into it.

Fork of unknown scamcoin is complete bullshit. Haven't seen any spam either. Rushed development is also baseless. No idea about the questions on reddit.   Just another ethereum troll i see.
