so with Tumblebit master node,  you get 1% of gross transaction or,  1% of transaction fees.  I've seen it expressed both ways in communications/ new releases.  BIG difference of course

You need 250,000 Stratis so roughly around $12000  plus a standby 5  btc around $6000 . Overall you need around $18,000 . But I am sure it has an excellent reason why Chris and the crew came up with that number.

Hi how many strat to make masternode?

What is "first local partner"?

Hi Stratis people.

What sort of hardware will be needed to host a MasterNode?

Great news! Shame I won't have the 250k STRAT either. I read something about possible options for holders that don't have the amount available for a Masternode, but maybe could host a smaller node or be part of some other development or something. Anything known about that?

updated list above.

When will masternodes be released (in 2017), and how much will deposit be?

Is it possible to implement a Rouleth (if you are involved in Ethereum you know) game onto the Stratis platform? How do you go about creating contracts/dapps at the moment? I know that the Ethereum wallet has a whole contracts tab where you can write/compile & deploy right from the wallet. Will the Stratis GUI be similar in this regard?
Are there any snapshots yet of the GUI or anything like that? Are there tutorials available for creating dapps/contracts on the Stratis blockchain?
I am more eager to build opposed to making profits. I am not here simply to watch things go good and cheer along as the price goes up. I am here to see how viable this platform really is for performing tasks that Ethereum already does (pretty good).
What will Stratis have that Ethereum won't?
(Note: I have been involved in Ethereum since the Mike Hearn rage quit and have maintained a semi-hardon for Ethereum ever since. So please, sell me!) :0) I am eager for new experiences.
