Hey everybody,

It’s time for The Unofficial Weekly Stratis Retrospect #2.

In case you missed my first two blogs and want to read them, they are right here:

Blockchain Expo North America 2017

The last week of preparations by the Stratis team are underway for the Blockchain Expo.

Blockchain Expo North America 2017 will take place in the Santa Clara Convention Center on November 29–30, and Stratis Platform will be one of the exhibitors.

You can find Stratis at booth 302 in Silicon Valley!

Breeze Wallet MainNet Beta Release

On November 21, 2017, Stratis released the Beta version of the Breeze Wallet on MainNet.

By releasing the Breeze Wallet, Stratis completed another milestone of their impressive roadmap. The full Breeze announcement can be read here: https://stratisplatform.com/2017/11/21/breeze-wallet-mainnet-beta-release/

For those that want immediate satisfaction, here it is ;):

The Breeze Wallet release includes and highlights the following:
Dual Network functionality: Bitcoin and Stratis
Full block SPV wallet
HD Wallet (Hierarchical deterministic)
Transaction fee privacy consciousness
Change address privacy protocol

Breeze Wallet with Privacy Protocol (powered by TumbleBit)

The release of Breeze Wallet contains something special I want to share with you, something really exciting — an actual release date for the Breeze Wallet with Privacy Protocol (powered by TumbleBit)!

Stratis will release the Breeze Wallet with Privacy Protocol on 11 December, 2017. This release will include transaction interaction with Stratis masternodes.

Don’t forget… It has already been 100% confirmed that aside from those initial masternodes mentioned above, lower-tiered nodes requiring only 10k Stratis to operate will soon be available. Those will accomplish different tasks on Stratis’ modular platform. How exactly those will function has not been announced yet, but the registration protocol for the highest-tiered masternodes was released on October 30. You can find this release here: https://stratisplatform.com/2017/10/30/masternode_registration_protocol/

Stratis Q4 Update

With just a few weeks remaining in the fourth quarter, it’s a perfect moment to provide an overview of where Stratis is on their ‘’Stratis Q4 Roadmap’’ deliverables.

Stratis’ November 24, 2017 update includes dates you should definitely put on your calendar:

1 December, 2017: Update Stratis Academy Platform
11 December, 2017: Breeze Wallet MainNet with Privacy Protocol (powered by Tumblebit)
18 December, 2017: Full Node Alpha Release
Mid-december: Update on Stratis Sidechains

Smart Contracts on the Stratis Platform are still on track as well!

Development is underway on the Stratis Virtual Machine. Stratis is making great progress on this project and is well on course to meet their Smart Contract implementation in Q1 of 2018.

ICO Platform

On friday, Stratis CEO, Chris Trew, shared a surprise update on Slack regarding Stratis’ ICO Platform.

The Stratis Test ICO Platform will launch on the 30th of November (the second day of the Silicon Valley Blockchain conference). Stratis is inviting the entire crypto industry to test the platform. There will be various bounties offered for finding bugs or vulnerabilities.
