Chris did a great job answering all the questions. Glad to have invested in Stratis.
Yea, he knows what he is talking about unlike some CEOs recently. All the question I hit him with he answered competently. But the main problem is the competition.
If you think Trew is talented enough to take on Microsoft and IBM recently launched blockchain as a service providers take a bet. You can be assured MS and IBM are throwing millions into their platforms while Trew struggles to raise even a million. That in itself makes this the riskiest ICO in recent memory.
You can guarantee Microsoft won't bring Stratis in as a partner. Which I initially thought might happened using the net core framework.
Also, Dorier is being used in limited fashion as Trew made it clear is a true blood Bitcoiner. Yea it's the foundation of the project but it's not like he is seeing the project through.
I am still undecided..
Reply from Chris on our Slack.Your point would be correct if Stratis was nothing more than a blockchain-as-a-service platform.
Stratis is a Blockchain Development Platform, our baas platform is just one component of the end to end solution.
Microsoft and IBM's blockchain offerings will be centralised. Neither offer the only full node development framework in C# and .NET. Also, neither company will be providing consultancy for their solution offerings.
Not to mention our Stratis appliance that will open door to many corporations interested in blockchain technologies.
Stratis will also be developing tech around IOT, while also actively contributing to Bitcoin development.
Nicolas is developing our full node framework which is 90% of the work required for the Stratis blockchain.
Im not sure how you see it as the riskiest ICO in history when other ICO's have launched with no through and through blockchain developer. We have one thats listed on the Bitcoin Core website. Surely that should reduce the risk to levels below other recent projects, which have no team member listed that can actually deliver the tech they promise.
