lol. this project is totally scammy. The only reason why they don't wanna compete with lisk as you mentioned, is that they want to wait till lisk will do all the job, and they just copy paste the code. The only way the price will move is down..till 1 satoshi.. sad but true. sorry bagholders and icoinvestors.
dude...if the price drops to 1 satoshi I would be all over this coin..so would a ton of other people...and currently the new codebase + alpha testing is whats holding the rise price at what is currently is...there was no definitive information regarding when the said mentioned features will be released so I mean I guess the rise team is covering their backs so they don't set them selves up to fail if they do no meet the deadline...yeah so sure you maybe right...people might wait till the end of this month to dump rise
