Why dont Radium rather convert to a token on the Stratis platform once everything is in place? Much less effort than to maintain a separate code base.
As you can see the full text in RADS blogpost -

Our first suggestion is to fork the Radium blockchain away from a Bitcoin-based codebase, and towards a more ideal codebase: Stratis.
We feel that rebasing Radium to the Stratis protocol will transform development from supporting an old Bitcoin codebase, to supporting and flourishing under a new paradigm of smart contracts and an easily maintainable C# core protocol. Once a fork to the Stratis protocol is complete, development will move at a much more rapid pace. The core Radium protocol will be easily maintainable at parity with Stratis/Breeze, as well as easily extensible and auditable by the expanding community of C# .NET developers. New features which do not require integration into the core network can be developed using smart contracts.
So they are just going to fork Stratis code for their own separate independent blockchain? Doesn't do much for Stratis, but perhaps a good endorsement of the Stratis dev team that other teams trust them with this initial development. May provide benefits in the future, such as something cool implemented on Radium that might potentially be ported over on Stratis if it makes sense.
