IMHO,. Iconomi deserves its own blockcain. Why couldn't a separate blockchain interact with an ethereum smart contract? Then expand the platform's limits with DApp development. And give investors the option to choose how individual dividends are paid whether it be Lisk or Eth. Why put 3500 *+ investor's trust and value at risk (especially fiat investors) because Iconomi's success is currently dependent on Ethereum. Stratis released its own blockchain built to create private blockchains for a fraction of Iconomi's ICO investments. If others understand where I'm getting at... I think its fair to vote on a better solution such as an independent blockchain. And do this by treating every account as a delegate. Personally I would rather wait until Iconomi has the best opportunity to go public then go out on a limb with Ethers current status on work load stability. I bet we would have easily seen 21000 BTC if the DAO hack never happened...

PS: I really like the idea behind Iconomi but I'd rather get dividends in lisk.

Right, if they have own blockchain, it will be better but if they would raise much less money. Big ico used ethereum ico hype, so I feel the market cap is overvalued now.

Yes, there are benefits of creating it's own blockchain.

But you guys probably forgot the basic aim of iconomi. They want to create an investment platform.

In case they create their own blockchain, there would be many things to be done.
It would take much time. Even after the launch they have to maintain the blockchain, check for bugs, prevent attacks, etc. By using smart contracts of ethereum, they are not getting into this hassle.
However, it doesn't matter which blockchain they use, Eth or Etc or Lisk or... But i guess, the best one at this moment is eth only. It has been under attacks, but the developers are constantly improving the blockchain.
Lisk is a newcomer. Etc isn't used by many people. So the best is eth only.

I think, if they decide to shift to other blockchain also, it would take much more time to write contract for another blockchain and then test it.
