After 2 years of development and millions taken from their ICO, this is the best they can come up with? What happened to their child chain or is it side chain implementation for dapps? That was the selling point of their project wasn't it?
I also have not seen any known projects that used Lisk as their platform for smart contracts and dapps. Why is this?
At least Ethereum has the Cryptokitties hehehe.
I really think some people are too impatient. I know crypto is a really fast moving/fast-paced market. But that does not supply to Crypto Startups. I mean how could it. Those things usually take years of development, look at Ethereum, Neo.. I even think that's pretty fast to be honest.
Yeah, the side chains should be the child chains. And I guess there a no projects that build on Lisk because it's not possible yet. But this is going to change soon, basically that's the point of this whole thing. I hope they'll announce when exactly at the event :d
Also Lisk has actually nothing to do with smart contracts (as for now). But they do have the side chains which could allow 'similar' stuff or rather allows to implement stuff like that. You could even use the Ethereum blockchain for implementing smart contracts and run it on top of your Lisk applications if you wanted to as far as I know. That's the huge advantage of side chains.
So if there were Cryptodogs or whatever built on Lisk using a side chain it would not affect Lisk at all.
I reckon the Lisk development team, like some of the developments teams in the past, have overpromised but underdelivered. Also, wasn't Lisk's founder also involved in Crypti? Remember that? That was another project that overpromised but did not live up to the promise after burning through their budget.
