I think bitcoin is too valuable to throw away on this junk.

I agree Bitcoin is extremely valuable which is why this project has grabbed my attention. I'd like to hear more about why you think this is junk. Healthy discussion from different points of view almost always favors investors.

I 2nd that. Do share chesthing. Don't just babble stuff without backing things up.

I think bitcoin is too valuable to throw away on this junk.

I'm curious why you think this is junk.  I'm a very skeptical individual and never believe all the promises and hype.  Even now I'm in a wait and see mode with this.  I rarely get involved in any ICO and regardless of market cap most of the recent ICO's will never have any significant real world use.  This one caught my eye specifically because it is based on Microsoft technologies and the NBitcoin framework is already developed and code, examples, and even an eBook from the developer of NBitcoin is available right now on github.  That same developer has even stated that they will be building on top of that framework specifically for this project.  That in itself is more than other recent ICO's that I won't mention by name but you are likely aware of.
 
I also see a space that this could fill that isn't currently occupied.  Many of my friends and colleagues mostly Microsoft veterans like myself have no desire to get involved with cryptocurrency but might give it a second look if it was based on technologies that they are familiar with.  I see many real world use cases for blockchain technology using C# and .NET.  Regardless of anyone's opinion of Microsoft, the fact remains that they own the desktop and corporate markets.  C# and .NET are already widely used in those environments.  This would make it much easier to deploy blockchain technology into those environments. 

One real world use scenario would be Unity which has already been mentioned in this thread.  I can imagine a game made in Unity, coded with C#, and allowing for in game purchases using bitcoin.  It could be used as a sidechain for things as common as tracking time cards, inventory, ledgers, etc...  The uses are out there but getting people to adopt it is another story.  The fact that it is based on Microsoft technologies is a plus for the market that they appear to be targeting.  I think it's a long shot but the potential is there. 

Anyway, my intention isn't to start an argument.  I was hoping to hear opinions from others good or bad as I make my own determination as to the validity and viability of this project.  I do understand your point about bitcoin being valuable though and that is definitely something to think about before trading it for something else.    Smiley

No even mentioning Unity which is the most popular gaming dev plateform.


If I could integrate Stratis in Unity, this would be awesome.

I think that people bashing C# does not know what they are talking about.
Java is very much retarded language, with lots of over engineered libraries and not as portable as C#.

Also, the user base of C# is comparable to Java. (http://stackoverflow.com/tags)

Take a look at my book about NBitcoin on http://n.bitcoin.ninja/ and enjoy cross plateform bitcoin development without headache. Smiley

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.


Just wanted to say that I'm impressed with your work.  I've been looking through the NBitcoin code and the examples you have on Code Project.  Good work.

I'm sorry, I should have asked this with my initial questions.  Is there a minimum amount of BTC that will required for the project launch? For example, if 500 BTC isn't gathered, escrow sends back the money.

Hi,

There is no minimum amount in the terms. We did not really consider that an issue. Like most things, we can make changes if there is investor demand.

I hope some people have realised that this project was not created over a weekend to ride the ICO hype train. Chris and the team have been planning and conceptualizing the Stratis Platform, while also building the team over the past 4 months. A huge amount of work has gone into getting us here today, hence why we have answers to most questions.

Thank you for confirming Nicolas.

This will save us from the "Is Nicolas really involved?" comments.  Smiley
