The Stratis Main blockchain will be fully decentralized, so it cannot be compared to Ripple.

LoL. Hilarious... 

Has FCT an official slack??

scam-exposure

Come to the Blockchain event in London or wait for  one next year near to you and ask the team to person.
As several ppl from the Stratis community aka investors plan to do!

If you were there and in person I'd hope you phrasing would be better than...Is this a Scam? I'd bet a super akward silence and a super akward conversation about everything they are doing and have been up to in real life would give you a little more context for the project.

Or stay behind your computer and accuse hard working ppl of very base things.

EDIT

Just read through some of your posts, you're a nightmare jeez every single post is Vitriol. How about we
try and be constructive scam-exposer.

What sorts of things do you need to convince you that a coin is not just out for free BTC?

They've already Paid Nic Dorier a fee for creating NStratis.

They are offering $5k at the Hackathon

They are going to be at the Blockchain event this weekend, and plan to attend many next year.

I could keep going, but in my long time crypto experience scammers use fake names, fake accounts,
don't show themselves in public ever. Don't pay their developers and run within a month of the ICO.

So I/we are curious what your criteria for a legit project is? If you can't answer this simple question then your just a troll i'd have no other conclusion to come to.
