Now that you have extra time, I guess you guys will get your ICO afterall lol .....TVE comment from a newb was priceless too.....nicely done!!
Looks like I have some research to do
What do you mean? How is stratis connected with BLITZ?
Hi GetVisaCoin,
Chris and Stephan have been part of the Blitz dev team for sometime, working in their spare time around work commitments. During this time Chris designed and developed The Viral Exchange and Fitalize, Stephan has been solely working on The Viral Exchange. They are both still involved with Blitz, which has a very active team and innovative tech. Blitz is one of those coins that has great tech and a solid team, but its not surrounded with hype.
I cannot share any further details at this time, but Blitz will play a role in the Stratis Platform. Their platforms are great tools for driving adoption as we have seen with The Viral Exchange already. More details will be released on this partnership soon.
FYI This information is included in the Bios on the team section.

I went back through the early posts here. I believe the post from @Clovis A indicates he was aware of the discussion in the blitz executive lounge, as he connects chris having more time in relation to funds raised from an ico. Maybe he can share his recollection of what was said, he does seem to indicate surprise that an ico was going ahead, which does support what I'm saying, I.e that Chris proposed two options for blitz , 1 status quo but he continues working part-time in crypto, and, 2 dilute blitz,have an ico, use funds to support Chris working full-time on blitz - and no third option of a new separate coin with ico was ever mentioned, Chris was still going to focus his attentions on blitz. Clovis' post shows surprise at the stratis ico, as was I, given that he asked for a vote, and went ahead with a third undisclosed option that was never voted on, but at the time I didn't have a real problem either, as I thought blitz was still going to be supported. It's only in the intervening 8 months that I realised Chris wanted to abandon blitz, have an ico for a new coin, and avoid any further dealings with blitz.
If I'm wrong and there is ongoing development for blitz, and/or there'll be a purpose for it in the stratis roadmap, cool, I'll gladly praise those efforts, but to date what I've seen suggests Chris tricked the blitz holders so he could avoid a btcd::komodo styled swap. It was a smart move on his part, but unethical.
