This last week has been very eventful for Rise and has left some people uncertain about
the project status. This post summarizes the details that were released spread out over
a myriad of posts.
- Justin (co-founder and lead developer of Rise) is no longer working on the Rise 2.0 platform,
including his employees Nathan and Richard. The Rise team was dissatisfied with the lack of progress
and denied Justin’s demand for more funds to continue developing. - Rise team is working on solidifying a contract to get Rise cloned to the latest LSK code
- Putting Rise forging into the hands of the community as soon as possible is #1 priority
- Rise 2.0 is not off the table, The ICO promise of adding multi-code language support and
easy-to-use tools for buildings dapps will still be pursued. - Rise development funds were temporarily moved to Bittrex. The account was frozen by Bittrex
as this is their standard security mechanism. The account is being verified in the next few days
to be unfrozen and the funds will be moved to a permanent Rise wallet address for everyone to see.
The Rise address will be announced here. - Rise team is working to reward Rise holders through the Chipz Project. Chipz was announced earlier
this week and is in the beginning stages. Rise holders will be the beneficiaries of the Chipz airdrop.
More details will be shared as they become available. - In a few days from now Rise team will launch a competition for loyal Rise supporters
with a total prize pot of 1 Million Rise. Stay tuned.
Thanks for the update
