Hi Charles, Kris here. I met you at a Bitcoin meetup in Tampa last summer. I have a two-part question: What does your senior advisor role consist of for Lisk? Also, is a javascript really that big of a deal for Lisk, and is it only because Solidity is a new language for Eth? Thanks! Upvoted and followed.

I am a non-fiduciary advisor. This means I don't make decisions about the money nor am I responsible for daily operations. I act much like a VC investor would to the project by connecting Max and Oliver to my network, offering advice on problems and trying to meet with them on a weekly basis.
Javascript is not a big deal to be honest. It's more about the model of making it easy and understandable for application developers to integrate blockchain based features into their software without having to design a cryptocurrency or necessarily learn new technology. To this end, it would be nice to do this in PHP, Ruby, Python and other languages as well and if the platform is popular this will naturally happen. More relevant is the marketplace model and the effectiveness of the underlying protocols. That's the first challenge for Lisk to overcome.
