Topic: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers - page 2245. (Read 3074169 times)

Etherium says their brand new programming language (Solidity) is so very, very, very good you will never ever have to change away from it because it can do literally anything.  Ultimate Computer Geek Alan Turing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) says so.

Lisk says that may be true, but such a language is pretty darn hard to learn or use, and needs very complicated computers to run it.  

Lisk says use a simple, common language (JavaScript!) and simple, cheap computers ($35 Raspberry Pi 2s!  $9 CHIPs !) to do 99% of what Etherium can do at 1% of the difficulty and 1% of the cost.

can someone please ELI5 "Turing-Completeness"

thanks

You can donate as many XCR or BTC or Shapeshift coin as you want.  

Exactly 85 million Lisk - no more, no less -  will be split between all donors no matter which coin they donate.

The total share of 85 million Lisk you get will be the ratio of your donation to the total amount of all donations, adjusted slightly for bonuses.  There is a bonus value to contributing early - for example, a BTC / Shapeshift coin donated in the first week will get 115% of the total Lisk received by a BTC / Shapeshift coin donated in the final week.  This BTC/ Shapecoin bonus drops to 110% in the second week and 105% in the third week.  There is no bonus at any time for XCR donations.  

The final satoshi value of each Lisk will be set to reflect the total amount of all donations.  The more donations, the higher the final satoshi value for each Lisk will be.

There will be ongoing progress reports during the ICO to report current donation levels at a particular time.

The final number of Lisk per no-bonus BTC (and therefore the satoshi value of a single Lisk) can only be determined at the end of the ICO when all donations have been placed in escrow pending the Lisk genesis block.  

Max, please correct me if I am wrong here.

(By the way, I am of Scottish ancestry.  Haggis.  Mmmmmm.  Good.)

The ICO information is not clear enough.

Can everyone just buy 1 share of a fixed size? Or 1 share which size depends on the amount of sold shares?

Or can you invest as much as you like? If so: is it fixed how much share you get for your money beforehand or does this depend on the total amount raised by the ico?

Thanks

I am ready to join ICO of LISK.

I will contact you in private. Thanks.

What I mean by spreading awareness are a few things.

1: Do you care to have businesses tell their clients in that are very familiar with technology about LISK?

2: Would you and your team give dedicated LISK to a business that is 3 years old for setting up a LISK PR page on their website?

3: The business I am referencing is a LLC based in Florida that provides IT support to business and residential clients.  These clients range from Lawyers , Medical Doctors, Realtors, CPAs , Pharmacist, etc... in the South Florida area.

4: Advertisement banners are a viable option, Dedicating a whole page on the website is an option since I am the owner of the LLC.  Advising my clients to take a look at a potential new investment is also an option.

5: No this website does not specialize in cryptocurrency just like Microsoft , Apple, Google, Amazon, Dell, Yahoo, Comcast, Netflix, doesn't specialize in Cryptocurrency and their users but are willing to invest in new opportunities as they present themselves.
I hope this helps clarify my point.

What do you mean with "spread aweareness"? A news article, advertisment banners, mention it in a sentence?

Is it a website with many crypto-currency users?

How much LISK can one receive when helping to spread awareness of LISK by dedicating a page on their Computer/Technology Website?
For example the business has been in existence for over 3 years now in the South Florida area. Miami, Fort Lauderdale & West Palm Beach.

Yes thanks for your answer/

I only hold NXT so i will have to decide to go through Shapeshift or get some BTC

No, I'm not. More information about myself are available on: https://lisk.io/team

i went back to this. even though i am really skeptical of ICOs.

thats why i would like to know something.
@OP: are you bobafett?

Don't go out please.
These posts of MalReynolds looks a little crazy.
But this is only at the beginning, when people are euphoric and want to help - I think.

Over the next days and weeks you'll see

 

I always try to listen to honest, constructive criticism - especially when it is true.  My apologies if I have turned anybody off with my actions.   Accordingly, I have removed all "spam posts" in other BTC threads, I will go back and edit my previous posts in this thread to "tone them down", and I will PM to ask others who "quoted" me to do the same.  Please go back and verify for yourself that I have done this.  In the future I'll try to curb my enthusiasm - which for Lisk is very sincere.

Max is correct.  The team and technology of Lisk is worthy of support, and I am an outsider in both of those.

Attention, BTC/ Shapeshifter donors!  Meet starik69, our much beloved grouch / critic at Crypti, and now Lisk!   starik is a troll with a heart of gold.

starik, you must be thrilled to have TWO versions of Crypti to complain about now!

Please note, that MalReynolds is not a team member and we didn't ask him to do this. He may just be a little over enthusiastic.

I hope you think about your decision once again. You shouldn't make a decision because of a single community member. You should make a decision because of the team and their technology.

I really liked LISK and ready to invest some btc in the ICO untill i get so annoyed by MalReynolds , This dude make Lisk look like a joke by spamming all Bitcointalk Threads with hes Red Big Letters, so annoying and
really works counter effective if you ask me !

Good luck devs but im out !

This is a good team,i hope you guys can make things bigger.

Stiil nothing about what happens if the ICO fails

This looks like an interesting project.
