Thanks,

At Lisk you can't develop smart contracts which are always being performed by all miners on the network.

So is smart contracts in the road plan. Is it possible to do with Javascript/node?

- You can only develop the dapp backend on Ethereum, on Lisk you can develop the whole package (see above) of frontend and backend.

Are you talking about the Dapp App store as being a front end? what do you mean by whole package - layman term to a non techy please.

Why are we comparing Lisk to Ethereum if there is no smart contract option anymore to comparing Lisk to Apple store with some crypto twist.

Please help me understand this further

As far as I know, at current development there are no plans for smart contracts in the near future. Although, it should be open for discussion for future development.

Lisk is different to Ethereum in so many ways, if it were me, I would prefer on not focusing on Ethereum as being competitors. They both serve a purpose and have pro's and con's for certain applications. However, many believe there is a competition for current market cap. In my opinion, the Internet of Things will become a huge movement bringing billions if not trillions of dollars into the crypto market cap. Specifically those projects focusing on IoT devices.

Why is it compared to Ethereum? They are both Dapps Platforms. Although they may have their differences, at the end they both support decentralized applications. If a developer can create an Dapp in Ethereum, it may be worth his time to look at Lisk and decide whether it be more beneficial to run it as a sidechain or not.
