Yeah...but Rise will prolly end up being Lisk's answer to Litecoin vis-à-vis Bitcoin. When you look at it from this angle, unless Rise has some special secret sauce, its post-ICO "rise" (sry) will be comparable to Lisk's in percentage terms. Perhaps less.
I'm saying this as someone who bought 0.48BTC's worth of Rise. It'll prolly offer a cheaper deployment environment for BaPPS, so in that sense it'll make for a good "livenet testnet."
Notice ICOcountdown.com removed RISE from their webpage? Not that they are the end-all-be-all of ICO's..but they seem to bring up some relevant concerns regarding the people behind RISE? Not trying to spread FUD, just wanting some more info if anyone has some:
