Now that the ICO is over, can we focus on making Lisk a success?
Clearly
the success of Lisk depends on the success of Lisk DAPP store.
Currently Ethereum dapp directory (
http://dapps.ethercasts.com) has
ONLY 34 LIVE Ethereum Dapps, so Lisk can certainly surpass that number of dapps within this summer,
if we promote Lisk heavily to Javascript developers outside crypto world, through contests with serious monetary prizes.
I found most Ethereum dapps too specicific to crypto world so I prepared a list of sites using Javascript in real world applications, all for your inspiration:
I have been inspired by your post. Some Googling has led me to a list of 10,000 (OK, really only 9,772) self described JavaScript geek programmers. With their Twitter addresses. Stand by for the spreadsheet, which may take a while. It takes some time to organize a name list of 10,000 people. Then stand by for a twitter blast in the days / weeks to come.

Funny, I couldn't find a similar list of 10,000 Etherium Solidity programmers.
I swear to God, I am going to have such fun when I start posting over on the Ethereum forums in April when I get back from my vacation next week.
At least 10% of all software programmers know this predominant language. Of course not all of them are professional JS developers which won't be an obstacle to start with the Lisk platform. JavaScript is de facto the programming standard for web, many embedded and desktop apps. For example, take a look at the most prominent text editor, called Atom. If JavaScript was a joke 10 years ago, now the "joke" is without real competition (with minor exceptions, C++ and Go not being among them). 
Too many people treat this like American football teams, I rather look for the win/win.
