Theres so much interest in stratis smart contracts that the price is rushing down! More praise from randoms! Smart contract chats all dead around stratis. Their discord has like 5 messages for the past week and a half 😂😂.
You laughed at me shilling lisk(though its holding its price) same as waves(way higher). Their developement and partnerships out pace and out classes the hotdog stand partnerships stratis has made. Some of them most likely fake, like earthtwine. I mean, cmon guys, NDA for 1+year. Their site was built by a 8 year old the day they announced the partnership.
Stratis will soon be irrelevant(almost already is).

You post here a lot! I've noticed quite a few messages from you over the past while - I don't really check Bitcointalk as much as I should.
Evidently you're in the Discord, we should chat in there. I think it would be good to go over all of your criticisms as there can only be positive outcomes from doing so: either your concerns can be laid to rest or the subject of criticism can be addressed and Stratis be the better for it.
If you decide you don't want to, that's also fine. I personally think it's a shame to bash projects and bad for the whole space when it happens. Cryptos are better when they support one another and all projects which are innovating in the space should be encouraged! The Stratis team are very passionate people working their ass off to make their vision come true. Plus, they're really nice guys! Hopefully one day you can meet them and maybe it will help you to be kinder
Alright, here it goes.
Lets see what you have to say in this matter. Instead of these stratis shills yelling moon with nothing to back it up~
1) Whats going on with EarthTwine? For real, its been 1+ year and investors havent gotten a
SINGLE piece of information for over a year. Im calling it a fake partnership for the sake of having a partner at that time, WHICH, Chris Trew hyped the announcement as a major announcement, which lets be real it just wasnt.
The website was created the day of, or before the announcement, shady, no?
2)Chris Trew announces they hire a PR firm for 500k in the first quarter of 2018. Where did they go? Was it their brilliant idea to sponsor some random NASCAR driver to a population of tech illiterate folk? What in the name of god, has this PR firm been doing? Or was this more bullshit from Stratis?
3) Stratis team members have stated they have had thousands of inquiries/interested parties. Where are they? Where is that legitimate interest? We're in in a revolutionary age with this technology, Stratis has been building out its platform for 2+ years and the best they could muster up is some random fellas @ Mediconnect? Where is the interest from the big boys(read point 8.)? Any? The house hold names, international businesses, government contracts. This is a decentralized platform isnt it? Anyone can begin using it without needing permission, am I correct? So where are they?
4)BGT, just dead, no interaction, no information. a forgotten mistake.
5)
Gluon seems to be the only thing that brings some legitimacy to Stratis. They are actively talking about it, they have an LG partnership, Investors just have no idea when to expect the ICO. Yes, yes, SEC approval and whatnot, that could take years.... So, nothing in that department.
6)What happened to the sold out event that Mahesh Chand at the Microsoft smart contract event? We saw a picture of a stratis shirt, thats about all. Guy even shilled Verge and ADA on his announcement.
7) Chris Trew also mentioned there would be several new ico, startups or companies mentioned after their release of smart contracts and the full node. Where are they?
8.) Dont mention the Microsoft partnership, because its no really a partnership... They paid for a licence and met the requirements needed for the licence to become an ISV, thats all. Its not like Stratis was hand picked for this...
9) Smart Contracts are out, wheres the development? Wheres the chatter? Doesnt Csharpcorner have the largest base of C# developers? Yet, if you visit their website, there is very little talk of stratis. Im starting to question the legitimacy behind Mahesh Chand.
1) Earthtwine I don't know about. Official word is that Stratis is gagged by an NDA, however I wouldn't be surprised if that NDA is simply preventing them from making it public that they're no longer consulting/working with Stratis. Since there haven't been any developments on that front for well over a year, I think that it's unlikely that they are still working together. Just my two cents.
2) Chris clarified that the $500k (or £500k, whichever it was) was set aside for a PR firm (or two PR firms? I'd have to check), and not that that money had been
spent on implementing PR/marketing. They've been pretty clear about the fact that they didn't want to spend money on marketing a product which didn't yet exist, hence the lack of marketing thus far.
It would be great to see this change now that version 1 of the platform is out. "The tech markets itself" isn't good enough, and hopefully they will do justice to what they've built.
3) There are roughly 12 projects working on top of the Full Node at the moment, none of them "household" names of course, but development is beginning on top of the C# FN already! For tech which has been out for less than a month, the full node (which is basically an SDK) is seeing quite a lot of interest. This will only increase, of course. As for companies actually working with Stratis, and not just on top of the platform or forking code, I think that we'd be safe to say Gluon and Mediconnect are paying for consultancy and BGT is at least paying for premium services. Only about 10 projects are using/have used the ICO Platform, and that number needs to be improved: it's the product Stratis has had out with the production stamp the longest, so it's the one I'd expect to have seen the most usage. I expect that this is a symptom of the ICO culture at the moment and a lack of awareness surrounding Stratis' ICO Platform. From talking with a few of the projects crowdfunding their ICOs through the platform, the service gets a good reviews across the board. Now just have to get more people hearing about it.
4) Don't know much about BGT, I do know that Peter is still intending to run an ICO (technically will be an STO now) on top of Stratis. I haven't spoken directly with him about it, but if the situation with Gluon is anything to go by, BGT is very limited in what they can do/say until their registration under Reg A with the SEC is finalised. Chatting with Sameer (Gluon CEO) is pretty eye opening: the restrictions placed on companies while undergoing the filing is nuts.
5) As above, not a huge amount Gluon can actually make public until the filing is complete. It's been, what, 10 months since they made their initial application? Upfront cost to Gluon for the registration has been so far in excess of $250k and they're progressing at a good pace, by all accounts. Far be it for me to claim to know when they'll have completed registration, but I'm pretty certain we're now nearer the end than the beginning.
6) That talk went well. Chatted with a couple of the attendees after it was done, they said Mahesh spoke well and the talk was informative. I'll reach out to Mahesh and see if we can get some media from the event.
7) I'm not sure Chris said that they would be announced once SC and the FN was out, I think he just said that there are unannounced ICOs/companies working with Stratis. Mediconnect had been working with Stratis since the summer and were only announced in December. If there are companies working with Stratis now we may not hear about them for many months.
8.) I don't know what to tell you, if quite literally being a part of the Microsoft Partnership Network doesn't amount to a "real" partnership, then I'm not sure what will. It's a natural step in the right direction for Stratis, given their positioning within the Microsoft tech stack.
9) People have begun building smart contracts, it's hard to gauge how many since the Discord #smart_contracts channel (for example) is simply there for support, not as a forum for development. Jordan is in contact with a number of people building apps with the smart contracts, and the Stratis Development Foundation has a goal of creating 1000 SC. Ambitious, certainly, but Myco and that lot are a smart bunch.
I've met Mahesh a few times, he's legitimate. C# Corner is for a general C# community and as such Stratis fits into one small niche within its broader remit. I'm not sure it'd be fair to expect Mahesh to plug Stratis when very few of those devs are going to be interested in blockchain development in the first place. However, it is good that Mahesh can channel those who are interested towards Stratis.
