Komodo are my top picks for long term hodl. Decentralized exchanges and other platforms are buzz words of the near future. That is really an innovation.  

Agama must not be open for staking

i installed the agema wallet, if i want to stake do i need to open the wallet like other pos systems or does this work different to stake.

Posting here again. Please don't forget to vote for me as well. This year I stand as Team Meshbits .

Thank you  

Hi,

On behave of pbca26, I'm posting his request to Komodo Platform users who can send their VOTE2018 tokens to cast their vote for Notary Node candidates for 2018.

Here's his text from Komodo Platform Slack:

Hello, I would really appreciate your help and support in the elections. Please find my proposal over here https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/NotaryNodes/blob/master/proposals/pbca26.
Instead of airdropping free coins I am planning to use a portion of mined funds towards dev bounties. This is going to be a little incentive for people who would like to help with Agama/AtomicExplorer. Sort of local tip4commit.

btw, was browsing the other day https://tip4commit.com/projects look at the first entry

------------------------------------------

pbca26 (Petr Balashov) is the lead dev of Agama Multicurrency Wallet of Komodo Platform. He's one of the most dedicated dev in our project, and since he's not having any bitcointalk or any social media profile (since he's mostly busy doing dev work on project), I decided to spread his Notary Node proposal.

Please Vote for Petr this Komodo Notary Node Election 2018.
I wish he at least wins 1 spot.

Hello, i have an question here.

I have kmd on trex at this moment, i want to move kmd to my wallet for staking.
At this moment i have the IGUANA wallet installed on my pc. Is this the right wallet for staking or do i need to install something else for staking.

If you research the candidate proposals you can find 5-6 guys that are offering to share profits from their notary with people who help them get elected, so no need to wait for the call,  the offers are already out in the open and transparent. Don't worry, it's allowed, and all part of the rich tapestry of komodocracy, trading votes is NOT permitted, but sharing profits with VOTERS is ok,

I suppose Decker did some brute forcing tests on all the addresses and posted those with the weakest passes. Maye Decker can tell us what they exactly did?
On one hand, if the concerned owners find their addresses in the list, they could use a better-protected one, on the other, if an ill-intentioned hacker comes across it first, they could attempt brute forcing it to get the funds, and apparently that's what happened ...

I have about 100,000 votes ... Can I somehow sell them 

if anyone is interested just call 


shit I have good idea 

Wow, that is low, some candidates could get elected on pretty small vote count if this continues, although I think there will be a lot of people waiting til the end to try and maximise their influence, a lot of interesting game theory possibilities now, and if the turnout does end up being low, there is incentive to not waste Votes on candidates who are already elected. The last 2-3 hours should be fun!

I think it is more like 5% so far, seems either tremendous apathy or everyone is waiting to the end

https://dexstats.info/votelist.php doesnt seem to have a total votes cast

Is there any way to check how many VOTES have been cast so far? Looks like less than 20% so far, people waiting til the last minute I suppose. Also, can candidates change their proposals still, or is that not allowed now?

@ Bittzy78 this is no Komodo Fork this is a scam fork 

This is crypto, so yes if you are posting your privkey publicly and you have funds in it, guaranteed it will be taken.

This is a case that is of similar nature, but maybe it was meant as a way to reward the original notaries. All we can go by is what is in the code. I guess now you make it clear you feel the KMD notaries are somehow at fault for your dev copy and pasting their pubkeys.

If the crypto isnt secure, then what is the point for it? If you cant make a secure crypto, dont go crying that it isnt secure. And considering the hostility your community exhibits towards all this, it is not any wonder that the KMD notaries dont feel much need to be compassionate for your $50 dollars of lost mining revenues.

When I am personally attacked, I take it personally. But you are right, SAFE is not anything I should be wasting time on.

However, the policy on how KMD will deal with forks is something I feel I should at least have some ideas on. Until there was the first fork, it was not anything real so was hard to get tangible policy.

The danger of allowing incomplete forks to pretend they are complete is that when they fail, it will reflect badly on KMD. As such, if a fork is not technically worthy, I feel it is our duty to demonstrate this in a non-harmful way. I do not consider the loss of $1000 of mining revenue as any material harm and that is my estimate for the delayed blocks due to the diff increase. All this whining and screaming and personal attacks are from about $1000 of lost revenues, or more like delayed revenues. If the miners just stopped mining when the diff goes too high, the losses would be in the hundreds of dollars, but I will assume that they were not so good at cost management.

The security of the chain must come first, so if there are known vulnerabilities a tough love approach will be used. Anybody is free to fork KMD and ask for advice on how best to do this, we received no such requests from SAFE, who brazenly makes a plain copy paste and releases a broken clone. As soon as I found out it was broken, I advised them on how to fix it. So far this advice is mostly ignored and the SAFE chain is still unsafe.

Also, what is disturbing is their community's total lack of hesitation to rollback the chain. For 60,000 SAFE as compared to the 4 million premine, they almost unanimously voted to rollback the chain and even now I hear they are working to take away the properly notary mined coins. I dont know about you, but to not be willing to allow the creator of the coin that was forked to retain 1% of the coins for finding a big flaw, while letting the copy paster keep 4 million in the premine and millions more in stealth mined coins, just seems quite hyprocritical. It seems that all the SAFE community cares about is mining coins for cheap to not let anybody else get any coins, even if done according to the coin's consensus rules. Of course each coin is free to do what it wants, but if they are acting this way, I feel it should be pointed out that there is no value placed on the security of coins, no any sense of owing the parent coin anything at all.

So, in the case of such reactions and motivations, then I dont feel there is any obligation on our part to be any nicer than we have to be. An honest fork would deserve to have more niceness in its treatment. The more honest the fork is, the better the treatment. Basically it would be best to not disregard your heritage and to actually hold up crypto principles, instead of just being a pure money grab.

Now, regardless of how it is done, the idea is to determine if a fork is worthy of being able to call itself a KMD fork. It must be a complete fork of KMD if it is advertising itself as that. And if it saying it has made improvements to KMD, then that also must be demonstrated. So we will post a report card on the status as we find out about these forks. It might not be updated in a realtime fashion as you have said we have more important things to do, and the burden is on the fork to prove themselves.

SAFE:
Not a full KMD fork, so far just a cut and paste with name change "komodo" -> "safecoin"
No support for notaries
No notarizations
No protection from dPoW on BTC or any other chain. It is only protected by the very small mining done by the current miners.
Severe vulnerabilities to hashrate manipulation, coins emissions, compounded interest attack that have all been fixed in KMD long time ago.
A full code review has not been made and this fork was done without any consultation with us so there could be other implementation problems created in the name change process along with whatever other changes were made.
4 million premine and fast mining of 128 coins per block all for 36 million total cap, no hesitation to rollback the chain over 60,000 notary mined coins.

From what I have seen the changes made to fix the hashrate issues will be ineffective and does not address the real security issues that they have already been notified about. I guess it is more important to prevent any notary mined coins from being used than to actually fix the coin. Until SAFE is an actual KMD fork and safe from the known attack vectors, we reserve the right to field test the new versions against the claimed fixes. It just isnt responsible to release known vulnerable code. However any coins gained from such activities will be set aside for the future development of that fork and it wont be sold off on the open market.

Now all that being said, I do have to say that safecoin has done what no other clone coin dev has done and created a half-fork of KMD. If KMD was an ordinary coin, it would have been a perfectly fine cut and paste job. The coin ports were changed, all the usual required changes were made. So there is hope that safecoin can make SAFE into a complete fork, but this is not yet proven.  And whether SAFE can create any direct benefit for KMD with upstream pull requests...

To the SAFE community, this might all feel like harsh treatment and I do admit it is on the harsh side, but you did it to yourself with your behavior and constant personal attacks against me. I care about the long term values, not today's mining revenues. 

There are smart investors. Do you buy this coin now? Can it make a profit or is it better to pay attention to other projects?

So if the bank leaves the vault open it's ok to go in and take what you want? Got it.
