Hey Mrboot, don't worry. It's a good question.

Yes, we left Crypti because we weren't happy with the progress being made and the direction some people wanted to take. Olivier and I are both hard workers, who want to push the platform further. We don't want to rely on another platform like Bitcoin, we want to build our own one.

Lisk is software. It can always get more features or become better. I'm very sure that there will never be a moment at which we think "Lisk is done".

Once Lisk is at a point at which it goes swimmingly, has a great feature-set, many dapp libraries and the most easiest client in the whole crypto-scene, we want to make our own decentralized applications. Personally, I want to get deeper into the blockchain-based Internet of Things area.

My ultimate long-term goal is to build an awesome dapp platform, for which I can develop dapps myself for many years.


That means you can be sure that we both support Lisk for a long time. If you have the time, just head to https://lisk.chat/ and have a quick chat with me.

Hey Lisk Team some questions if you dont mind,

cause i pref to be good informed before i make a investment

I heared you all worked for the Crypti team and choose another way  after the plain version was done (out of diffrent opinion where crypti should be heading) right ?

Or is this more like a restart of crypti with a new funding to make it better and more solid ?

After Lisk is done , just like crypti will you keep working on Lisk , with for example building Dapps work on community projects ?
cause the way crypti is beeing left now make me worried a little for future case.

Good luck devs, hope to hear some response

Added a link to the Dutch thread to the OP. Thank you dev0tion!

Lisk is a fork of Crypti, aimed at becoming a better alternative to Ethereum.

This is a Public service announcement about the Lisk Initial Coin Offering (ICO).  There is still some confusion about how this is going to work.

Main points:

85 million AND ONLY 85 MILLION Lisk are going to be distributed to donors.  

The more and more donors that show up, the smaller and smaller your share of this fixed block of Lisk will be.  

However, the more donors that show up, the more valuable each Lisk becomes, so its satoshi price will go up.  

This adjustment of Lisk price and share allocations will continue over and over and during the ICO as more and more people donate.

Final numbers will be frozen at the end of the ICO on March 21.

SO AS THE LISK ICO PROGRESSES:

(1) THE NUMBER OF LISK ALLOCATED TO YOU WILL DECREASE
(2) THE WORTH OF EACH INDIVIDUAL LISK YOU HOLD WILL INCREASE
(3) THE TOTAL NET VALUE OF LISK YOU RECEIVE FOR YOUR DONATION WILL STAY CONSTANT

There are bonuses of 15%, 10% and 5% for early donations during the first three weeks of the ICO.

Bottom line : If you donate 1 BTC on Feb 22, you will own a quantity of Lisk worth 1.15 BTC on March 21 no matter what happens during the ICO.

I have been working on some spreadsheets for use during the Lisk ICO.  Hopefully these are THE FINAL VERSIONS of the spreadsheets.  These show how many Lisk you will get for one Bitcoin BTC or one Crypti XCR, and how much in satoshi the Lisk will be worth.  The spreadsheets start off with donations of 5 BTC and 5M Crypti (equivalent value of 65 BTC at a fixed 1300 satoshi per Crypti exchange rate) just to get some initial numbers to look at.   THESE ARE TEST NUMBERS - THE ICO DOES NOT START UNTIL FEB 22.  Here they are, feedback welcome:

I have provided Max / LiskHQ password access to these if he wishes to use them officially during the ICO....his choice.  If he doesn't update these during the ICO, I will.  

No.

Is it a ethereum fork?

Seems promissing.

I'm looking forward to the release date, and seeing each of the new features on the Lisk roadmap. Lisk's a winner and deserves to be a top 10 coin. It's thousands of times better than all the bitcoin clones because of what it offers. The cheapest Lisk coins will ever be is at the start of the ICO.

Can't wait!

This is exciting good luck on the project

Yes, we will contact the social network profiles individually.



I don't know how we could control that. Everyone could attend with a proxy and another email address, we wouldn't know it.

If we see that someone will hold more than 20% of all LISK I will discuss it with Olivier and come up with a solution. But I don't see this happening right now.



Please take a look at our comparison chart, FAQ or distribution table.



The website on which the ICO happens will be put online at the 22nd February. Everyone has access to it and can exchange their coins. (Already answered you on Facebook as well. )

I'm interested to see where this goes.

Sorry that's all I could fit in my signature

You uncovered the big secret plan...that they stated. Yes, they need money to push forward.

Forking an open-source resource, adding new features, and becoming a successful new venture is a valid business strategy.  Look at Mark Shuttleworth.  He worked on Debian, forked it to Ubuntu, and made hundreds of millions of dollars.  He takes vacations to the International Space Station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth

To take this space analogy a little further, you get to space using multi-stage rockets.  The first stage of a rocket only goes so high.  Then it runs out of fuel.  You drop its weight and ignite a fresh second stage full of fuel.  The second stage starts with the burnout speed of the first stage and then goes higher and faster.  

Crypti was the first stage of an open-source rocket, and did a great job of getting this personal blockchain effort off the ground.  But now it's time to fire up the second stage - Lisk - and go on to da Moon.

I said IF the ICO doesn't do well, we can look at how XCR is doing as a comparison. Is that any different than what you are saying right now?

I also said if the ICO does well, the coin may thrive longterm.

Something about how things will turn out by looking at XCR. You cant compare them, they are at two complete different stages. It's as if Crypti would've figured out how to receive more funding for their project. They would've competed with other Dapp blockchains around, and would have created a major buzz. But they ran out of money and motivation (imo).

Hmm? What did I say that was an unfair comparison?

If you are talking about merits of the coin, I agree with you. But my reply was to someone guessing about the exchange price. It really all depends on how much BTC they bring in during the ICO.  

Why make an IPO for a fork coin ?

I guess for money

So you just fork crypti and add some features and launch a ico ?

Not a fair comparison. Crypti didn't have a platform, people invested in the "idea" of Crypti network, but in reality they had nothing. They spent most of their ICO funds to create a stable network, and found themsellves at a tough spot almost 2 years later. Lisk is already done (forked from Crypti), a tested network/environment. Now all it needs is developers to begin creating amazing DAPPS. As with the Ethereum platform, as long as core development keeps improving, there wont be a top for the coin, it could easily reach the hundreds of millions in its first 3-6 months.
