So, by no means take my word for it, I don't mean to generate a FUD or whatever, and my membership-status doesn't speak for me. So go to the RISE-slack, and form your own opinion before taking mine.
There has been an interesting conversation going in the RISE slack concerning a large part of their team's (incl lead dev) involvement in the oxycoin ico (which picked up 1400 BTC, btw).
Questions have been asked concerning RISE's roadmap, it's DEV challenges and the similarities to oxy's. Mainly about how the RISE dev is going to have time working on the challenging RISE roadmap, when he's oh so busy with oxy. What does this mean for the future of RISE? Ofcourse, this could all be nothing. 2 projects complementing each other could even be beneficial, and oxy's focus on fiat is different.
However, when asked about this. Literally no answer has been given. Their community manager has just been talking about other stuff (gardening, newsletter) ignoring everything up onto the point he actually ask people that had concerns to leave the channel if they didn't like it.
I'm concerned, and hope for a solid response soon. I still have RISE, and would like for them to continue to be as great as they have been up to this point. I and others have requested an official response in Slack, and on here. We will see.
Regardless of your member level, thank you for sharing and I would certainly want to know how much truth there is to this info. I think the dev should provide a plan on how he is going to manage both projects without failing to do so at all and missing promised milestones. And I think that the whole community would be interested in knowing that, so please step forward and say something about it.
