Hey, just to confirm it here, I will work on Stratis Bitcoin full node implementation if Stratis manage to raise enough for financing my work.
This will be a bitcoin full node, based on NBitcoin. Easier to debug, compile, and change on your own.
Thank you for confirming Nicolas. This will save us from the "Is Nicolas really involved?" comments.  |

What are some real life use cases for this?
Hi maxsinner, You can find use cases at the bottom of the whitepaper. But those are just a small number of the possible use cases, the private chains combined with cloud Stratis give the platform many possible uses. http://stratisplatform.com/files/Stratis_Whitepaper.pdf |

Thanks! They should make a separate page for it in marketing. Nice 4% on bounties, looks promising. Hi Placebo, Great idea, I will get one created. Thanks |

lol, so many ICOs, same style, ... easy money now with ICO and some nice graphics, lol
We probably have a different way of thinking when it comes to ICOs. I started looking through Krushang's history and contributions he's made on projects. That's always my first step when evaluating ICOs. My next step is to ask myself if it offers something different. Is this another Lisk clone? Does it strengthen some part of a different ecosystem? Next, anything that isn't understood by me to even consider an ICO, see previous questions I had in this thread, I post them immediately. The quality of the answers helps me decide how much time I'll spend investigating. I skimmed the white paper once, after the last step I mentioned, it gave me enough to read through the white paper in detail. I still have a lot of questions, but I'm starting to see the potential. Graphics are fun I guess, not really my starting point. Please hit with some tough questions, it helps all of us! if you look at these "successful" ICOs, all sell with nice graphics and some up-in-the-air "whitepaper"s, the ideas are copied around, often abstract and no concrete plans for implementation and new insights. It's all about hype. I've seen this for several years in this space, look at these "hot" coins 2-3 years ago, how many still left? All hot that time because they have nice graphics attracting those who chase the mode. Hi marseille, I assume you have not read the whitepaper, if that was the case you would see that your post makes no sense. Im sure your post is relevant for some of the other projects, but certainly not for Stratis. Firstly, the "up-in-the-air" white paper contains high level architecture details and full details of the approach that we will be taking to develop this platform. We have a very skilled and experienced Bitcoin developer on the team, I'm not aware of any of the 'ICOs' having Bitcoin developers involved. We are developing our own platform from scratch not simply coping Lisk or another project. If you have any questions based on facts, please let me know sounds awesome sir. keep up the great work with this project. Thanks |

Welcome shojayxt, We are glad to have you, we suspect there will be many people like yourself from a corporate microsoft background that have great affection for the Stratis project. You can also checkout the book that Nicolas authored below. Its a great resource for people wanting to learn how to develop blockchain applications. This book will form the base for the Stratis documentation as all API calls etc will be available due building the Stratis full node on top of NBitcoin. Programming The Blockchain in C# |

What interests me about this project is it strengthens Bitcoin rather than competes. What I'm trying to figure out is how this compares to what Rootstock and Couterparty are planning with 2 way pegs.
1) C# bitcoin blockchain 2) corporate still need to use the token 3) not 100% opensource like NEM correct me 1) C# and .NET Blockchain development platform, that will be available in both Stratis and Bitcoin versions. We are all big believers in Bitcoin and our aim is not replace it like some of the other projects, we believe its possible to build a successful blockchain startup while also adding value to Bitcoin. Our lead Stratis Bitcoin developer Nicolas Dorier has worked extensively in the Bitcoin development space for the past 2 years, he also had some minor contributions to Segwit and OP_CSV in Bitcoin Core. Nicolas has also assisted the Bitcoin Core devs by reviewing BIPS etc. So we have very strong Bitcoin development experience in the team. 2) The 'standard' private chains will require Stratis to fuel them. However, if a large corporation had some custom requirements, they could engage Stratis Consultancy. Stratis Consultancy would work with the Stratis Foundation to provision them a custom private chain. So this requirement is not set in stone and we expect some organizations will pursue the full Stratis portfolio of services including consultancy, development and custom private chain provisioning. This sets us aside from most of the other projects, as we will be building a blockchain consultancy business to assist organizations with developing, testing and deploying blockchain technologies. 3) Incorrect Stratis will be 100% open source! Chris and Nicolas are both advocates of open source and would not build a financial platform that was closed source. The .NET framework from Microsoft has also been open sourced. So the full stack for the Stratis Blockchain will be open source. |

Is there any professional link between this and the Blitzpay people? I know that the whitepaper refers to utilizing the tech, but was not sure if there was actually some collaboration.
Hi andyatcrux, No professional link at this time between Blitzcash and Stratis. Mentioned in Chris bio "has worked as a volunteer developer in his free time on the Blitz project". Regards Krushang |

" Why invest?
Stratis tokens will fuel the Stratis blockchain and also the private chains (side chains) that will be part of the Stratis network. Stratis tokens can be used as a payment method for the decentralised app hosting functionality built into Stratis and the fuel for the Blockchain-as-a-Service platform. We will be developing and engineering many platforms and services on the Stratis blockchain that will help to build a healthy eco system around the Stratis Blockchain.
Consequently, adoption of Stratis and its private chains will entail increased demand of the finite supply of StratisCoins. "
Does this work like Ethereum gas? The more and popular the services, the more fuel needed? Let me apologize ahead of time, I'm doing my best to wrap my head arouns the tech as well as understanding the roi.
Hi TravelsAsia, Its no problem at all, your probably helping answer other people questions. That correct, Stratis tokens will power many aspects of the Stratis Platform. I cannot share to many details regarding the low level architecture at this time, but I can tell you that the standard private chains will require Stratis tokens to be 'locked' as part of the 2 way peg to private chains. Stratis tokens will also be the currency utilized to pay transaction fees to miners. When we migrate to POS Stratis tokens will be used to secure the Stratis chain and the private chains. The Blockchain-as-a-Service platform will be also be fueled by Stratis tokens, users will be able to deposit digital currencies or pay via paypal and Fiat to 'credit' their account with Stratis tokens to fuel their node. Our fiat gateway technology will also charge a fee in Stratis, but note there will most likely be a fee on the fiat side also. This will be one of the centralized components of the Stratis Platform, but its the only way to have Fiat gateways and be compliant with the various regulations involved. I'm following along just fine now, also re-read the white paper. I noticed you and mxxxxxx were heavily involved, at least posting, with the [Fibre] project, does this project have any crossover? Reading through the ICO schedule, you mention a Stratis Beta. When is that releases in relation the ICO timing? Is there a cooloff period between the last day of the ICO and the wallet to begin trading? I understand the full node framework is at the end of the year at the earliest. Once the ICO ends, can you give a little more detail on next steps? Besides viral exchange, do you plan to secure other agreements with Exchanges similar to Lisk? I'm already prepared to early invest, I'm just now trying to guage the level. I appreciate your responses. Correct, there is no cross over at this time, but that could possibly change in the future. FYI I am no longer involved in the Fibre project and have not been for some time. The Stratis Beta wallet will be released one week after the ICO ends (With no delays). The full node framework will be available at the end of November. Yes, we will do our best to ensure that exchanges are available on release. We do not have any control over exchanges, but what we can do is provide everything they need and be available for questions when required. The Stratis Beta release will allow people to withdraw their tokens from the ICO Platform so they are in control of them, instead of requiring investors to trust a 3rd party with their tokens. It will also allow the trading market to begin. |
