will the lisk raised be used to vote?
While we agreed on holding Lisk long term we yet to make a decision about using the collected Lisk for voting.
The ARK team has a pretty unique internal dynamic. We are many and we always discuss options and won't make a decision until we reached a consensus on an issue. This is something that doesn't work with any group of people but worked for us really well in the last few months since we are working on ARK.
There are however many important and more pressing issues to decide on, Lisk voting is not a priority at the moment. Ask as in a month.
This means they will probably use the collected LSK to vote themselves in Lisk DPoS system.
For me it is clear: I definitely hodl my Lisk and will not invest in this ICO.
