It wasn't that long ago that we many of us were checking on Raiden's dutch auction chart to see what the price was. Perhaps you had a spreadsheet out and calculating the price of the token in US dollars or the fiat currency that you use, to gauge whether it was a good deal.

And some of you joined Raiden, finding it like a rare gem on the exchanges.

Thunderbolt is THE subreddit for Raiden contributors, to discuss the RDN token, price movement, accumulation strategies, and predictions. We also want to be a place where we discuss news about Raiden, and explain the Raiden technology itself. We are an UNOFFICIAL sub for Raiden, and not connected in any way with Brainbot (maker of Raiden).

Finally, we want to motivate people to get out there and spread the word about Raiden. The blockchain world has been WAITING for "second layer" transaction network to escape the limitations for transactions on blockchain itself, to make micropayments and machine-to-machine transactions cost effective for ONCE (we've been waiting for this for decades, even before blockchain existed) - and now it's HERE in uRaiden. So let's let the world know. The implications of Raiden technology are historic and will change what's possible in terms of online transactions.

The use-cases will be mindblowing. There's one Chinese company that is using Raiden to make possible offline transactions; so you don't even have to be connected to the Internet and you can make micropayments. We'll keep abreast of all that here.

We welcome your contributions and activism to help make Raiden a success.
