Poloniex ask side is 380 bitcoins.  Thats all the way down to 0.0012 where the fake buy wall resides.


Poloniex is the biggest exchange in...you know where?
That's right - In the USA.

Do you know what time it is in USA?
Right. Indeed, it's night. (4:00am in LA and 7:00am in NY)

And still at the very moment STRAT is the 4th most traded crypto in their list.

That's the statistic what actually matters.

The thing I like the most, is the fact that regardless of ETH and BTC declining - Stratis is helding it's head up high!
Stratis is not in lockstep with them anymore. And that is remarkable!

But if Stratis dives along'em, I gonna buy me some more Smiley

Doesn't look like diving thou Cheesy

Huge thumbs up Smiley

It's nice to see Stratis recruiting more and more Pro's!

I know this is unfair and unrealistic but what are your guesses for the FMV of STRAT in 1-to-3 years?  I'm new to crypto and bought 1K of STRAT based upon all of the input I've read on this forum (thanks so much) so I'm just curious to know differing opinions.

Disclaimer: yes, I know no one can predict tomorrow but I'm interested in the forums thoughts nonetheless.  Happy Trading!

Answer to that question is worth a nobel prize, as you may have guessed already. In traditional economy (stock markets and such) people often wonder the very same - or similar - questions. There has been literally numerous studies, for example to find out, why sometimes markets fall so drastically - or why markets sometimes take a huge upturn all of a sudden. Studies of such questions has given birth to such spinoffs as 'Behavioural market analysis' which tries to (in essence) take human behaviour as a measurable factor into equation. It's pretty much like, how human behaviour affects stock prices, and how big of a role it plays in it. Problem is, that since human behaviour is not directly measurable in reasonable units, the effect (or role in it) tends to be a 'guesstimate'. And that really doesn't help much - in fact it just makes things more obscure. Typical example of it is the explanation (when prices fall) that 'it was due to market psychology'. Of course the same explanation works as well, when the prices take the sudden upturn. It's just a label - dignifying pure ignorance. It's like saying 'my daughter behaves like she does, because she's a teenager' It doesn't give anybody any extra information. That label has no value, because it doesn't give anybody any guidance how to act in that case.

But what you are asking, is the prediction of strat price in about 1-3 years. That's a bit different, but not entirely. There's in fact something called a "wisdom of the crowd". It works like this; Let's say you have a big glass jar full of candies. You ask 'how many candies you think there is in this glass jar' from many, many individuals - separately. Obviously answers are all over the place - but the mind blowing fact is, that when you take the average of the answers - it's almost exactly right. None of the individuals get it exactly right, but as a crowd, they are very, very close. That's the 'wisdom of the crowd' effect in essence.

Problem is, that you have to get a private answer from each and every one of us. If you ask publicly (like here in the forums) my answer is going to affect the other people. And their answers are affecting the others, and so on. And that leads to the exactly opposite effect - which is known as 'fallacy of the crowd'. Our answers are going to take a certain course, and average of that is heavily biased - therefore useless.

But If you really want to know my opinion - well, I think Stratis is going to be double digits by the end of this year - and triple digits next.
For what my public opinion is worth Smiley

EDIT: On the other hand, if you're smart enough, you already knew that asking us Stratis fanboys here gives you a biased answer. But, then you go to the next forum (whatever that might be), and ask their opinion. And then the next, and the next, and so on. After you have gathered all the data from different forums, you take the average (of the average forum answers). And that very well might be closer to the truth, indeed.  

Problem is, that when you have finally done all the queries and all the maths, it's too late - the price of strat has risen to the moon Smiley

To t' moon, I tell ya Cheesy

Just kidding, mate Smiley

In honest, I stand by my previous estimation of progression of the Stratis price.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: July 21, 2017, 05:25:05 PM
And as the race goes on, we see that Stratis has taken now the 9th place in the top 10, bypassing Monero with flying colours Cheesy  
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: July 21, 2017, 04:06:04 PM
Stratis is doing pretty darn well compared to other alts at the moment.
ETH (and even BTC) are pulling a flat line at best, and most of the alts are struggling as well - but not Stratis.

Stratis has thermals under it's wings, and up it goes. This is beautiful Smiley

Check the coinmarketcap to see it yourself Smiley

And another thing. Stratis is at the moment the 5th most traded token in Poloniex (in front of it are BTC, ETH, LTC and Ripple). Not too shabby Smiley

How can I start staking? Ive seen files on Github to download but what is important regarding staking (except of having coins  Wink)? Thanks

Well, first you need a staking wallet. You can find the link to it from stratisplatform.com website, under tab 'wallet'.
There's a link which takes you to the github, where you can download it - either for Mac or Windows.

Then you should read the wallet documentation, which can also be found from stratisplatform.com website, under tab 'wallet'

Important: Never download the wallet software itself from anywhere else, than behind the link provided by the stratisplatform.com-website. You should always go to the official stratisplatform website first, and follow the links provided by them.

Don't even trust this forum, when it comes to direct wallet links. The links may be genuine, but on the other hand, they may be not.
Always play it safe, and go via the official route.

One more safety measure...
When you end up into github page (by following the official links all the way from the stratisplatform website), click the green lock in the address bar, and make sure it has the following info:



If it says all that's in the picture above and Verified by: DigiCert Inc then you can be pretty sure, it's not a fake or malicious site.

But basically, all you need is a staking wallet (which is online in staking mode) and some STRATs. The documentation explains the rest of the details (how to enable staking mode, how to backup your wallet(very important, that) etc...). It's actually very simple Smiley

I think that STRATIS will start going up again now as more and more problems come on ETH through hacks etc, people will look to run ICOS also on other platforms like STRATIS as well. There will be competition for ETH supporters now as new platforms take some of the future market.

Cryptomarket is a cruel mistress Cheesy

It's a very good thing, that there's finally some real competition. Too long has ETH monopoly lasted, IMO.

I think, the biggest problem with ETH is the fact that it's stiff and monolithic - and therefore very slow (or even sometimes, unable) to adapt in changing conditions, whereas Stratis is built for flexibility and evolution in mind - or as somebody put it; 'Stratis is future-proof'. And as Charles Darwin told us, species who can adapt in changing conditions are the ones who survive.

Oh my...

It seems that people woke up in States. There are big green Stratis candles at the moment.
Trading volume is increasing heavily, and the best thing is that Stratis is no longer in lockstep with ETH.

ETH is actually declining - but Stratis is not.

I'm glad that I managed to buy more Strats couple of hours ago Smiley

Excellent Smiley

Will staking work with VPN?

I'm connected (16 active connections and staking for over a month now) - but my rewards are way overdue.

I'm always using vpn when online, so could that be the reason?

Also, my vpn ip address is not listed here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/strat/#!network

I'm guessing it should be on the list, so something is not right...

Big amount of ETHs have been stolen (again)...

http://www.coindesk.com/30-million-ether-reported-stolen-parity-wallet-breach/

https://blog.aeternity.com/parity-multisig-wallet-hack-47cc507d964d


However, many other multi-sig wallets have been exposed to the vulnerability as well, but got saved due to white hat attacks.



We are currently examining the situation together with the ‘Multisig Hack Response team’ and other members of the Ethereum community.
It was a vulnerability in the Parity multisig smart contract.

is there anywhere a begginers guide to start staking Stratis? I have downloaded the regular windows wallet, synchronized it but not sure what to do now. Week ago or so, on slack someone said I should encrypt my wallet, how excatly i do this? I would ask on slack but for a few days it says that its under maintenance if I try to join. Once encrypted how do i procced? Send STRAT from exchange to the adress, but how do i actually start staking?

After buying at various price range now my average token price is 0.00084. Stratis is among very few I don't care of price at the moment and have true plans for 2020 to see them entering in next financial system as pillar of that to support the ecosystem being built on blockchain.

Yes, but why? Can you post facts and reasons of your decision?
Why not ETH? What does Stratis offer over the etherium, just C# and staking?

P.s. Can anyone repost white paper and summary, as links provided on page one are not working to me. Thank you in advance.

Stratis and other alt coins have rebounded well this past 3 days in trading and I am happy that  it already surpassed my buying price. Hope it would continue the momentum.
Rebounded my ass, stratis is still beloe 0.002

Why everyone is exited about this Breeze and Thumbleweed? Why stratis is better than ETH or ETC ? I see trolls posting:'its the best thing, gona be crypto number 3!' But why would it? What are your reasons in buying stratis? I feel most people buying stratis, because they expect it to follow eth pathway and thats all...

Somehow I feel that you're not going to be convinced, no matter what people say...but here goes anyway.

I invest in Stratis, because I've done my homework, made my conclusions, and based on those I believe in Stratis concept.

Since I can't see into the future, it's the best I can do.

You are not going to be convinced, and in fact, you really shouldn't be. Do your own homework and make your own conclusions. If you don't see it worth investing, then you really should not.

It's really that simple Smiley

Im not so convinced by this new identity management platform. They claim that first to market is irrelevant because the competition is buggy and not working properly but I see Civic making good progress, being more and more recognized and closing business partnerships left and right. It would be unfortunate to see Stratis becoming too spread out and wasting ressources best spent on a platform that will set them apart.

Any thoughts?

I'd say that identity management is something which is better to work properly right from the beginning. Poorly made identity management software is like a shoddy defibrillator. Better not touch it. It's very dangerous.

Because it's crucial part of computer security, any flaws in it can (and will be) exploited by malicious parties. And the consequences are usually very serious.

Therefore, any potential customer will choose the product which is well tested, secure and proven. They really don't care which one was first in the market.

Because if they choose poorly, and their identity management implementation fails (gets hacked etc) - they can loose their business overnight.

Oh really?  What an innocent question.  How naive.  You mean just like all the people who used to ask questions about coins on the Poloniex Trollbox, to build up hype?  If I go to Twitter and ask Vitalik if he ever wonders whether Microsoft will buy out Ethereum, and then he actually responds with a dreamy/egotistical comment, don't you think that's false marketing?  No professional organization would bring up some thing like that.  In a regulated market like the stock exchanges, such talk is actually very prone to investigations by the SEC, if not illegal.

Why?  Because it creates a presumption that the said entity has higher perceived value and falsifies the possibility of some sort of buyout, which there is no possibility of.  I would love to see the insider selling at the precise moment of that question/answer and this forum post.  Too bad the market data for that is hidden and easily covered up.  

If you had a crypto currency that was behind schedule on its roadmap, that had fallen over 75% in value (compared to the USD) in roughly a month of time, would you be busy fixing the problems or hyperbolizing false narratives and dreamy/egotistical comments on Slack?  Even then, I'd take Stratis far more seriously if Chris was responding to real concerns and questions, most of which get shutdown.  People are getting kicked out of Slack.  There's some BS about lots of spam, which is simply not true.  Chris can't handle the backlog of complaints and pressure from people who bought high, only see their money burn.  

If you bought Stratis at $10, good luck even breaking even in this lifetime.  Stratis was a very well-timed pump-n-dump, coordinated by a whale group (we all know who).  I don't know for a fact whether Chris is involved with the pump-n-dump whale group, but I can tell his methods of marketing and providing information are very sketchy.

Why would a lead/founder of a crypto asset give heads up that there will be a blog post?  Giving a heads up about 'news' is essentially a way of creating hype about news.  From what I have seen here and in Slack, Chris and the fanboys are too busy claiming "Stratis should be in the top 3" rather than explaining why it belongs in the Top 50.  Why does Stratis deserves so much credibility when it has essentially no actual users.  Where is the adoption?  Where are the businesses?  Stratis only has hype.  

I'm shocked that Chris of all people would make claims that Stratis will have a market cap of X amount, or that it should be whatever number spot in the top coin market lists.  That's the type of claim that should be reserved for speculators and investors, not the founder of the coin.  I have screenshots from Slack where he made these claims.  Founders should not be making speculative claims about their share price.  Again, this is an unregulated market, but any respectable coin separates themselves from price speculation and hype about their own asset.  And if they don't, it's proof of a pump-n-dump, in my opinion.

We are dealing here with a bit more sophisticated troll than usual garden variety of them. This guy makes false conclusions and tell straight out lies - and then tries to justify his point by attacking those conclusions and lies. It's a logical fallacy called a 'straw man'

As defined by wikipedia:

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Just ignore such trolls.

And they should listen to you?  28 posts mostly hyping Stratis, including your first post where all you do is profess your love about Stratis being Bitcoin 2.0?

Why should anyone invest in Stratis? Why would anyone should use stratis if business will be allowed to use the side chains? I just got some stratis, but started to think it was a big mistake...

My first post here...hello everybody Smiley

So, about Stratis...

Businesses will always use Stratis sidechains (or private chains), so that they cannot ever mess up the mainchain with shoddy smart contracts and crappy decentralized applications (That's by the way what happened with Ethereum few days ago).

All Stratis sidechains are fueled by Strat tokens. That's how businesses pay for the use of the Stratis blockchain service.
It's called BaaS - 'Blockchain as a service'. That is Stratis's business model in a nutshell.

Stratis provide very easy and fast way for companies to test, develop and implement customized sidechains for their particular needs.

So, Stratis is actually a platform. It has solved the problems what Bitcoin protocol and Ethereum has (scaling etc.) - and it has already implemented the best of the both of them. Stratis can also test, develop and implement new features without breaking everyone's business.
So it can evolve faster without politics getting in the way (which is a bit of a problem with Bitcoin - to say the least).

Someone said, that 'Stratis is future proof'. And I agree.
It's like a 'Bitcoin 2.0'


Yeah, that's a lot of credibility right there.  You can't respond to my comments so you make some personal attack about me being a dude with a straw.  Ok, cool story, but what about my comments regarding the founder making false speculation about a very highly positive outlook on Stratis asset prices?  In the stock market world, Chris, your dream lover would be in prison.  In the crypto world, these scammers flourish.  And let me again remind you that the price of Stratis is down roughly 75% in the past month, when you and all your buddies have been pushing unsuspecting investors to buy, while you are likely selling/dumping. 

So go on, make up stuff about me, directly, while you claim that I'm the one doing that, and yet you have zero response to anything I wrote.  

Ignored.

By the looks of it, $1 can be a reality soon. With the BTC split coming in Aug, things can go either way. But nevertheless, things will go green soon and i still believe Stratis is yet to reach its full potential..

And if ever Microsoft is to buy Stratis Platform, then we are in for a joy ride...

I have to disagree with your 1$ suggestion - however, with everything else you said I do strongly agree Smiley

One dollar price for Stratis means that somebody has to be willing to sell his/hers Strats - and accept that price.
Weak hands and surrender monkeys may do, but there's not any of them left here anymore.

One can offer a price of 1 dollar, but if there's nobody to take that offer - it's pointless.

In economy terms it's called a 'wall'

Edit: If you look at the largest Stratis wallets, do you really think that they are going to sell any Strats at the price of one dollar? Hardly, I would imagine. Or to be frank, never ever in this lifetime. And same goes with the smaller wallets. I, personally would sell my strats, if the price is right. For me it's 10 000$ per strat. Under that, there's no deal. My Strats, my choice.

You might think that I'm crazy. But I'm not. It's not crazy to set the price - but it is crazy to pay it Smiley

I agree to 100% of the price until August, it can go down to $ 1. Drawdowns of the Crypto currency will still be good. Therefore a good time to be patient!
---
I guess it could fall back to 1 Dollar till august. An then when bitcoin is doing fine going back up really fast. The question is: will it get back to a price like 7$ in this time or will it take longer.

One dollar price for Startis is simply out of the question, my friends. That's never gonna happen - sorry about that. Almost all of the air is pumped out, and all the fools (who sold their tokens) have already sailed away. Rest of us are true believers Smiley
