So from what I know, your team has the funds to develop and the tokens to provide incentive to do so, is there a new road map or an update on progress?
Hi Mr.Ease. Yes, there have been regular new updates on progress. You'll see them if you read back on this thread or head over to the
official RISE Forum for all updates.
What are the timelines?
When can we expect a working chain capable of forging rewards?
As we announced a few days ago the devs are just about to finish work on the architecture of Rise 2.0. Expect a roadmap (without strict timelines) to be released some time after this is finished. You may or may not have missed the change of direction this project took a few months ago. We're no longer basing Rise on Lisk code but we decided to start designing and developing our own unique code base. The reasons for this decision were laid out in this
blog post. Because we are in the beginning stages of developing a working alpha prototype of the new architecture it's too early to give an ETA of the fully operational public beta and when forging rewards for the community will commence. We're releasing updates as we go.
Compared to lisk, how are you positioned to compete?
We position Rise as a crypto currency and distributed application platform heavily emphasizing security and ease of use. There are many areas in which the new Rise 2.0 code base differs from Lisk but the main difference is that we support
multiple code languages from the get-go for developers to create dapps, smart contracts and token issuance in the language they are most comfortable with (i.e. JAVA, Python, C#, Ruby, JS). We also plan to provide easy to use 'drag-and-drop' style tools so everyone can build their own basic Rise dapps and smart contracts. Other differences are the use of a different
technology stack for Rise 2.0 development , a different approach to configuring and employing different classes of
nodes (CORE nodes and DELEGATE nodes), a projected
higher network performance (up to 2000 TPS) and use of the latest
SHA-3 encryption (with virtually unlimited message size) for greater security which also potentially offers hardening against future quantum decryption methods.
There are a few more technical differences, features and advantages that I can't mention until we finalize the architecture completely, but they will be published once that happens. Thank you for your questions and your interest in Rise.
Thank you for the response, and I apologize that this info could be found in past pages, but seeking those pages is very time consuming.
If you succeed, it looks as if lisk will have to transition to compete with rise, or simply cannot compete since your chain supports multiple languages.
But... is it feasible for your team to produce this outcome of using multiple languages?
Would it not make sense to develop in 1 popular language and if successful, incorporate the others on a later date?
Why not directly compete against lisk by developing in javascript first? And then work towards the others?
It's not like lisk hasn't been struggling also, it's just that their team has large investors keeping the price propped up.
Personally, I think this project has the potential, and current prices make the risk/reward quite appealing.
I look forward to updates and a conservative roadmap.
