28-30th Nov : Blockchain Expo at Silicon Valley
30th Nov : Test ICO Platform at Expo
Identity IOS App next week
1st Dec : Stratis Academy Platform
11th Dec : Breeze Wallet with Tumblebit
18th Dec : Full Node Alpha Release

This 2 release will be the keystone for Stratis.. Tumblebit technology is awesome, a disruptive innovation in this industry. I think we will soon have a new ath and maybe yes, we can go back to the billion club

Is Tumblebit really as big as it seems to be? It can make Bitcoin transactions anonymous (there is clearly a huge market for this looking at the valuation of coins like zcash/monero/dash). For zcash, shielded addresses is not in effect yet but it is something they are working on, for monero this is default (all addresses are shielded and thus by knowing an address you cannot know how many coins are associated with that address).

Does tumblebit do anything other than hide the transaction amount? Ie if you know the sender address and the receiver address, you can still see how many coins are associated with the address and could (in theory) infer how many coins were transacted? If this is so, how will it compete with say Monero (or zcash in the future if they solve some critical problems) which is already capable of completely anonymous transactions with shielded addresses? How heavy on resources with it be (ie would it be able to deal with the volume monero currently has)? I guess this would depend on how many masternodes are up.

Well, it does do a lot of things. The point is, it provides privacy to Bitcoin today. zcash/Monero might work, but that's not the world's biggest markets. Bitcoin is far bigger, and Bitcoin holders don't have any good privacy solutions. Tumblebit allows you that solution for people who hold Bitcoin.

Also, tumblebit is different from confidential transactions that hide the transaction amounts natively at the Bitcoin protocol level while still revealing the party receiving the transaction.
