As I find myself spending more time learning about the komodo project, it opens up more questions that a non-tech person like me
has a hard time comprehending. Please take that into consideration as I post questions


native vs lite

is it safe to say to following...

lite is when you don't download the entire blockchain?

native is when you download the entire blockchain?

If this is correct, what are the benefits of downloading the entire blockchain when I can just go into my wallet using the lite?


Also, now don't flame me please... what does spv mode stand for?


Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for being so helpful. It is nice to see a community that actually cares and doesn't insult a post from a newbie.

Hey man, it's good to be a whale and support new guys but why you got to take any profit share for yourself? Just vote for the best guys who help komodo platform, your rich already bro

... and get some rev share for myself if I can while I hodl KMD to maintain my VOTE in these early years.

I will continue using my ~2.7% of VOTE to support new entrants to the KMD community who demonstrate they can run a high quality NN, and who don't mind sharing some profits with their voters in the first year to get the opportunity. Remember, anyone who consistently stays in the top 30 doesn't need any further help from voters, so rev sharing is only ever going to be a consideration for new entrants, and NN operators who performed in the bottom 50% the previous year.

Community pools make sense to me but probably not enough time to get them up and running for this election. I would not set one up myself but would support them if they needed it, but I doubt that would be the case now, the election results seem to show that candidates offering some rev shares did pretty well, and I don't see that trend changing next year.

I would suggest pools offer a tiered rev share structure based on kmd price, at current prices some NN will not be that profitable, and if prices drop further the critical goal is keeping the NN up and running, not paying out rev shares. Next election I think we will see more thought put into rev share formulas.

Having top 30 operators run again and secure multiple NN's is not ideal IMO, but perfectly acceptable in a competitive process, and this happened this year to some extent. I would never advocate trying to ban this, but I do like having countervailing forces at work to push back the other way towards increasing the number of single node operators, and community pools can help do that.

The network can run perfectly fine with a small number of operators running multiple notaries, but the benefits of having more talented people with income sources working in the ecosystem should be obvious to everyone, and notary operators obviously do more than just run notary nodes.

Which game-changing features BarteDEX can bring to traders, investors with their platform and services?

It's amazing to see BarteDEX grown very fast like this. Congratulations KOMODO team and the project, generally.
Hope that BarteDEX will have more breaking features for traders community.

I'm not an 'insider', and not a tech person myself, so unless jl777 starts endorsing candidates as having superior coding attributes (which I don't think is a good idea) I'm not in a good position to judge those aspects unless I use third party endorsements, but there are plenty of other KMD holders on the inside with tech skills who know who the superstar contributors are, so there will always be plenty of support from other sources for these candidates.

If you're thinking of running next year I can tell you now:
- if you run a NN in the top 30 from the previous year I won't consider you
- if you run in 3 or 4 regions I wont consider you
- if you successfully participate in testnet and show you have skills to run a NN I will read your proposal
- I strongly favor single region independent candidates, I would try to avoid sock puppets
- if you offer some rev share to voters I will be 'grateful' and add you to my shortlist
- it's not simply who offers the largest rev share, 10% and up would get you on my shortlist, then I pick the best overall candidate(s)

Great collection of crypto.. Enjoy! KMD is here

Wow, stiff competition in the AR region. Meshbits just got knocked off. I voted for you meshbits, and even if you don't make it, I definitely appreciate everything you have done so far.
