What is Lisk? Are the Rebranding Rumors True? ??? Lisk uses JavaScript not .NET

I made a mistake in this video Lisk uses JavaScript not .NET.

In today’s episode of Crypto Riot I review Lisk and talk about it’s upcoming Re-branding on February 20th.

$16 – $47 – 300% increase

Proof of work/Proof of Stake (Mining protocol)

Delegated proof of stake system with 101 most voted Delegates that verify transactions become the main nodes

1000 delegates on the waiting list. Encourages people to build apps encourage votes.

Similar system to Steemit and Bitshares

Main Pros

Allows for javascript instead of solidity. Much easier for web developers and existing people to use, lowers barrier of entry

Side chains allow quick adoptions of dapps, with customizeable features. Lisk was the first to use side chains as a way to allow for companies or individuals do create their own blockchain. These side chains can use different mining algorithms and have custom settings depending on what’s needed.

10 second block time is much faster than bitcoin/litcoin

Disadvantages

When the price goes up it makes it expensive to send. $3.20 per transaction
Javascript isn’t a fast programming language. C++ is much faster. But the bottle neck to running dapps right now isn’t the programming language speed.
Tough competition from Cardano, Ethereum & EOS

Marketing and logo is cheesy.
