The way LISK is designed both in visuals and in code reminds me of Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

Was LISK heavily inspired by World of Warcraft and Starcraft?

The answer to your question is YES.  Everybody knows that the "Lisk developers" couldn't develop a picture out of a Poloroid instant camera.  Lisk is a total scam job just like Crypti, and none of them have an original bone in their body.  Lisk is BAD NEWS!

2Kool, how do u know for sure that it really was inspired of World of Warcraft and Starcraft?

If LISK is derived from Crypti, is its ideology derived from Crypti too or is this a new layer that requires careful thought about its essence?

Since I do not know that two shitty games, I can't tell, and would be interested too. But that's just a crystal. I don't see any similarity Huh.

Look at bottom right:



Also in the game if you click on the crytal it fractures, I think it is a nice logo/art design.

Max and Charles are both young and vibrant.

They know that such theme and gaming in general is the future of the youth in one of various aspects. They wanna contribute to society so they theme it this way to make a bright impression.

yes , i'm pretty sure that the logo was inspired by starcraft minerals
and a lot of the zerg race's units names end with -lisk like hydralisk
so the name seems to be inspired by that too

Let's be honest. Most of us in these forums are nerds. It shouldn't be a surprise that we get influenced by PC games

The logo for this coin always looked a little cheesy to me, as well as the name. I never get what goes through the heads of the devs when they  pick these coin names.  Mainly, I could never figure out what they hell a Lisk was looking at the logo. Apparently a badly Photoshopped blue space crystal.

The other side of the coin is how do you want people to invest largensums of money into something with such poor advertising (the logo/name?). Seems the opposite way to get VC.

Could u go into more detail on this plz?

I think the LISK branding is very nifty. It targets the gamers and obviously they have a lot of money especially in China.

I think a discreet icon, and not a texture, would be more appropriate for this brand. This is a financial instrument. Lisk is a 'cool' name, but for the level of investment expected, especially given the popularity of assets like this ATM, I think it is a bit juvenile. What does an art asset from what is arguably the best real time strategy game ever made, have to do with a crypto asset? I only say this because the traditional finance world is watching us from the sidelines, and laughing at us a bit. They are not gamers, they are older men in nice suits. The appeal would be lost on them. VC comes from those that generate value, I think pitching an investment product aimed towards a demographic that doesn't make income is questionable. This isn't an attack, it is a criticism. I have none of these and most likely won't buy any, but I think a better attempt at branding, that is more appealing to a larger demographic, would be a better choice.

 And I feel this way about Ethereum's brand (ether is fleeting and unsubstantial, these are not qualities I want associated with my money.) And waves (waves of what? Is the project going to make waves? what is wavy dammit!?)


This would be akin to me making a new, useful coin and calling it dontforgetthemilk coin. Do you see how I just shot myself in the foot regarding people taking my product seriously?
