Lisk launch post-mortem: What went right, what went wrong
Yesterday, at exactly 8pm UTC, we published Lisk v0.3.0 and announced the launch of Lisk. What a launch that was! In this post-mortem we bring light to the problems we faced, explain why our web login isnt/wasnt accessible, and clear up misunderstandings.
First of all, Id like to apologise for the rough launch and the harm that the DDoS attack caused. Since the launch, we have been working tirelessly to ensure that all our systems are working perfectly again. We simply didnt anticipate this overwhelming demand and trading chicanery.
The only problem we still face at this moment are our web logins. The reason is the same as yesterday: huge amount of traffic and ongoing DDoS attacks. However, everything else is working very well. Users can install Lisk on various operation systems like Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Local client installations are functional and the Lisk network is alive and healthy.
The current client is aimed at technical users, but its relatively easy to install it with our guides. The best option is to simply use the Docker installation if you are on Windows or Mac. After we have guaranteed the networks stability and optimised a few important Lisk modules (e.g., peer communication); we will look into options to provide a one-click Lisk client.

Thanks for the update. Bright light always attracts big moths.
Not just focusing on big price predictions before launch insteat of talking about ddos security on launch and we would had hit a wonderful start. Now that we are aware of the envys, we know what we are dealing with. We a entering/disrupting a real real big business, so there will be challenges like this, which, all the way down, will be handled great by community and lisk itself. Like you said
We will fight for Lisk and our vision, the vision that everyone has unlimited access to all kinds of applications from any device they want.
