Considering all the BTCD talk, I'll take the opportunity to express something that has been bugging me since Day 1:
Any decision other than burning the swapped BTCD and dissociating from further BTCD development will suck a hairy ball sack and ultimately hurt Komodo. Let's never go down THAT road. Trust me, there are so many negative things one can say that it will be complete insanity to take such risk even if KMD holders were to directly benefit.
There, I said it... although I wouldn't have to if a definitive answer had been given by the Komodo team, as many have asked along the way.
It is possible that it will become necessary to stake with the BTCD as the non-swapped gets smaller and smaller as there might not be enough to keep the chain advancing.
Beyond the 1 year period, one idea in case KMD is still not listed on polo is to retain the existing swap mechanism and add a reverse swap mechanism so KMD can be converted to BTCD. That would then create a reverse arbitrage and we would have both a floor and ceiling price for BTCD which would effectively make BTCD 50x KMD especially if both directions of the swap were fairly frequent.
Now if you are saying that you can guarantee a direct polo listing or that a polo listing is not desired by this means due to the hairball theory, I can consider that point of view also.
It is hard to give a definite answer to a question that depends on future events beyond our direct control. I much prefer a direct polo listing than having to implement a reverse swap, but I must plan for various contingencies, dont i?
