Dave Collins, says, 5:43 "This is really low hanging fruit and not many people have done this so we're gong to go ahead, start the ball rolling and ya know huh, take it."
And there you have it, "not many people have done this" they where not the first, they took it.
He was talking about decentralized exchanges and atomic swaps, that exist, didn't name them clearly if at all, but he also didn't lie because BaterDex was/is already doing it and could easily be inserted into the decentralized exchange's statement but he didn't, he also didn't say that they jumped somebody else's train either, he played it down.
If this is being played as a first atomic swap then he has shot himself in the foot.
That's why I am not impressed with DICKHEAD sorry I mean DECRED or is it really NOCRED, sorry again, I get confused.
I wounder if De Cred is like De Grease, to take all the grease away, to take all the Credibility away, probably not but looks like it.
Everybody's jumping everybody else's train, it's always the same.
IMO, it is not really worth worrying about. Decred is really trying to be a better bitcoin with governance and more bells and whistles. Komodo is aiming for a different goal. I own both as I think they are both good coins for what they are trying to do.
We are working together with the DCR team to get it working with barterDEX. I think all this who did what first stuff is just distracting. We all know who did it first and nobody else is doing SPV based swaps, which is really what is required to make it easy enough for end users.
Of course still need GUI, etc, etc, but without core support for SPV dexing, it is limited to people that can install coin daemons and have the systems that can handle it, ie. small percentage.
On the windows side, thanks to mark81 making zillions of sync tests, we are finding out why windows is so slow and have made improvements. Not caught up to the other OS yet, but not off by a factor of 10 like before. It is nice to have new addition to the KMD team as there are so many different types of things that need to get done and clearly there are some things that existing people (especially me) are not good at.
So thanks to all the new contributors!
The "brown sheet" marketing was accidental, but it got a lot of people to come forward as it was clear we needed help
One point of clarification. A lot of people here just assume that we have to be just like some Fortune 500 company in all ways.... Kind of a strange assumption to have. Nothing against such big company methods, but brand new cutting edge tech is rarely from the biggest companies. They end up getting it most of the time by gobbling up the smaller ones.
However, since KMD is not a company, it cant be acquired, taken over, controlled, etc.
I will continue doing my nerdy core coding, but I am very, very glad that we now have people that can solve all the other issues.
Nobody seems to care so you just go on making new accounts with crazy passwords. Interesting how those passwords get hacked... Good luck to you!
