I want to say that even though I think that this crowdsale (and seemingly most crowdsales) launch pretty fast. It sounds promising. I have been trying to get as much information as I can before putting into something I never heard of until yesterday (learned that lesson with the DAO). I'm thinking if I miss the 20% bonus I'll wait and watch the coin for a while. So if there's still time left, I'll do it but only because it meets a need for something I've been looking for...so willing to take a small bet on it.
I have been looking for a C# platform for a while and Stratis offers to deliver everything plus more that I was lamenting about with platforms not offering C# only javascript (a language I dislike working with significantly) in the days before I fell upon this one (a day or two ago now).
It would be nice to see another crowdsale after people have had time to actually get to know and read up on it some more. Probably won't happen since you'll meet your development goals and a crowdsale wouldn't benefit you a second time, but it's what ev, all cool. I like it anyway. Looks promising!
Will Stratis be available for trading right after the ICO? (I would prefer that trading waits until coin is fully launched)
That was my same question too, it didn't get answered probably because the original question was missed in my list of questions. But when will the coin be launched. I'm assuming it will be in November or after November when the end to end platform comes out, but would love to hear specifics.
My preference is that it is not launched immediately after the ICO personally as I think I would start to get suspicious considering that this coin was just announced, is being crowd-saled, and if it were to be be launched shortly after I'd start to loft another brow. I've barely had enough time to research everything as it is...so would definitely like to see some thought go into launch and some time given for people to actually read about what they're putting into, instead of this 'limited time offer grab now or miss out'. I'm still not sure for sure if this is a scam or not, but I'm willing to take a small risk and explore it, but not willing to take a big risk.

ICO schedule
The Stratis ICO will take place over the course of 36 days, beginning at 17.00 EST on 20th June 2016 and ending at 17.00 EST on 25th July 2016.
Following the ICO, we will deliver a Stratis beta wallet based on Bitcoin Core. This will allow investors to hold and secure their own coins, while also allowing exchanges to list Stratis. Our priority is to deliver the Stratis C# Full Node development framework, while also developing our side chain technology and the blockchain-as-a-service platform in parralel. Although the Stratis Full Node will be developed on top of NBitcoin, significant development is required to create this C#/.NET Full Node framework. We aim to have the Full Node framework and mainnet released in December 2016, please note this a very conservative estimate due to the historical issues faces by other bleeding edge blockchain platforms.
