I've a lot of trust in this coin. Great and experienced dev team, good coin and low price.
To the moon in a couple of weeks or months, that's for sure  Smiley

Where can I find the roadmap of KMD?

There is no exact roadmap. I'll try to summarize it quickly, but of course it is constantly moving a bit. This roadmap includes also SuperNET roadmap, which is very relevant for Komodo too.

 1) DEX layer with liquidity provider nodes
 2) With working DEX we can continue testing the BTC anonymizing feature in Jumblr and finish it
 ---------- with these two in place the Agama will be pretty much fully functioning ----------
3) Komodo Currencies phase 2, which will allow us to scale their market capitalizations
4) Komodo Smart Contracts (this is the latest addition that we are now talking about, and planning)
5) Pangea poker backend (Pangea will party require Komodo Smart contract tech)

There's also a lot of GUI development to be done, manly for Agama, InstantDEX and Pangea

It's very hard to give any dates, and they would be very broad estimations. Thus we think it's better if we don't give any exact timeline, but our platform has been advancing with a very impressive speed lately! Really the most work was done in 2015/2016 when jl777 was coding Iguana Core.

In late 2016 we started with a Zcash fork and by now we have finished:
 - delayed proof of work consensus
 - we had elections and we got 62 notary nodes around the world giving protection
 - launched 50 assetchains each with their independent blockchains, those are are using dPoW
 - Satinder has made impressive progress with Agama (published just few months ago)
 - developend and launched Komodo Currencies (phase 1)
 - defeated a lot of blockchain attacks, which made Komodo a lot stronger
 - launched/developed KV-coin (key/value database), which is required by DEX
 - lot of enhancement to our backend performance, for example to Iguana Core

I might have missed something, not sure.


Hi Devs,
Any plans to hire some more programmers to speed up the progress and our developments?
Komodo have an impressive Roadmap, but with the slow progress and bugs we having now, someone is going to take our ideas and be the first to use it in their Bloackchain/Platform. Because this is an open project so others are free to use or copy our ideas.

I recommend to hire some more people, i mean we need a groups of Devs to handle each iOS, Linux & Windows GUI.
So we can speed up our GUI development & fixing the bugs, because curently we still have some people who having problems with Agama wallet on Windows version.

komodo smart contract their own independent development it? What is the difference between an etherum and an intelligent contract?
yes it is totally independent development.

Our approach is to build on top of existing infrastructure, so no custom new language, but any language that can create a compiled output.

This does allow a lot more flexibility and computing resources to implement things, so complex things like decentralized poker can be created. pangea will be a reference dapp, smart chain.

Of course, a lot more things can go wrong if to allow arbitrary executable code. But that is another reason for having loosely coupled assetchains. Whatever code is needed for a dapp would be put into its own chain. That way, only people who care about that dapp even runs that chain and this controls bloat in a significant way in addition to limiting any damage should a dapp smart chain go DAO (DOA).

Interaction with the ecosystem will be via DEX

There wouldnt be any limit to the number of smart chains, but practically speaking you would run out of system resources or eventually network ports at some point, so people will have to limit the smart chains they run to a few hundred at a time.

Also, with the number of nodes securing a specific smart chain possibly being small, it is important that there is a mechanism like dPoW to secure such otherwise weak chains.

Oh, jl777, since you did not complete the previous project, how can you ensure that komodo will always be developed? Please forgive me for direct

There's just one project and he's been working on it for the whole time. It is an ecosystem where the various parts use the functionality of each other. For example, Komodo Currencies are built on top of Komodo Platform, but yet they require the DEX layer of SuperNET to function properly. Without the "past projects" a lot of the stuff we have now would not be possible.

I'm on drugs, what's your excuse?
makes me wish i bought more

Me too! I guess hindsight is 20/20 though. Crazy pump going on now. It will be interesting to see if it can be sustained or not.

Now that I have a little bit more understanding of how the DEX works, I am not really that bullish on this project anymore. The way I understand it, it requires everyone to download the full blockchain of each coin they want to trade. How inconvenient... If that stays a requirement, then I'm not sure how big this can get (as far as volume/liquidity on the exchange).

The hardest part about DEXs is getting volume and liquidity on them. Up-thread there is mention of not wanting to go the multisig route with oracles hosting the wallets, because it is not fully decentralized. Although I agree it is not fully decentralized, I think for a DEX to work you need to compromise as far as decentralization and ease of use. I still think this project has some room for growth, but I don't know about its near term viability. It could be a decade before any decent volume is being transacted.

Bitshares, InstaDEX, Supernet, etc. have all struggled to gain decent liquidity/volume after garnering a huge amount of hype and a large market cap (all of those were as high as #2or #3 on market cap list at one point... well maybe not Supernet, but it was pretty high up there too). I kind of feel like this project is headed down the same path.

I will keep my Blocknet coins, because I want a DEX to succeed, but I hope the convenience of trading is addressed.

Food for thought.

Public perception is everything.

I'm not saying that the gui devs are doing a bad job, they are kicking ass in fact, however, maybe you need a few more to get stuff out a little sooner.

There are not many people interested in seeing GUI coming out. Those who need it will compile it themselves, will take a couple of hours. If you are interested in utility that Komodo provides, you will eventually figure out how to take advantage of it without diving too deep into technical stuff. We all saw it coming a mile away and took an appropriate action.

A easy install GUI wallet is essential for mass adaption. As for the GUI team it looks like a case of  "Ambition outweighing Ability"  and we are now witnessing talk of smart contracts, and other complex additives

This project has been running for "8 months" and people are still complaining about wallet problems. Supernet still using NXT wallet this has become a comedy of errors, still I suppose we all need a laugh now and then.

SuperNET Team joined lootz on Core Radio to talk about Agama and Komodo. The guests were marketing manager Polycryptoblog, Agama GUI developer Satinder Grewal, and security expert ca333.

The discussion starts with a basic description of what Agama is capable of and what the terminology the application use mean. In essence, it is a multi-coin wallet with many built-in features and thus has a slight learning curve.

Eventually, the discussion moves to Komodo smart contracts and the difference between SuperNET approach versus Ethereum's approach to smart contracts. Later on, ca333 joins the discussion to shed some light to his achievements in BlockShow2017.

Good news on this page. We are proud of making Komodo smart contracts in the future and It will be a hot coin in next months. Do not sell KMD coins or you will miss the big train coming.

KMD with smart contract is something I like from the developer's plan  and as secured as the platform rest assured that it will go a long way and achieve more necessary services that can adopt blockchain technology.

Yes using latest version. I have avg Antivirus and not getting any messages.

It doesn't go past loading daemon screen so can't do the other thugs you mention. How would startup another way besides clicking the agama app

Okay, have you installed Iguana Desktop App? (before we renamed it to Agama). In that case you will have to uninstall it before installing Agama. More info: https://github.com/SuperNETorg/Agama/wiki/Agama-Desktop-Installation-and-Upgrade-Instructions

Also, have you tried the Zip releases too? You can get it from our github: https://github.com/SuperNETorg/Agama/releases

1. Extract archive after downloading.
2. Open extracted folder.
3. Execute Agama application to start Wallet.

I didn't have any desktop app before. first time downloading. I tried all files. nothing seems to work

If funds are already sent can I change my address to another address "bittrex" then?

any mobile wallet? i am good with computers and if I can't figure this out how will the general public. Adoption will be low.

Good news for Jl777 and his alliance: UNITY will be delisted from Poloniex soon.
https://twitter.com/Poloniex/status/854486851238932481
After many bla bla bla... and Tuesday vapourware updates, now is a good chance for them to escape.
This summer will be very big for them to pump UNITY again hahaha.

To Komodo investers: dump the coin asap while still taking some profits. They have some millions KMD to dump on you.

To pvnamk19, get a life and find a new thread to troll, you are clueless but, thanks!. See below:

Troll Gauge
 
Chances of a project succeeding vs. BCT member level of troll comments:

Newbie - Who cares, no effect.

Member - Coin looks promising!

Full Member - Sell something now so you can buy this!

Senior Member - Might want to buy some more just in case.

Hero - Strong buy signal, beg, borrow or steal to buy it!

Legendary - We are all going to be rich!




Apart from the Newbie level, all the other levels as described above seem more appropriate for a Shill Gauge, rather than a Troll Gauge.

True enough, depends on how you look at it...  Grin  The point is, if the trolls/shills are barking, the coin has a chance.

Is it possible the you guys will list UNITY in another exchanges aside from AGAMA? In my opinion an alternative would be better.

It is already listed in NXT Asset Exchange.

The centralized trading websites take a regulatory risk if they support a dividend paying asset, thus we doubt we will be trading in any centralized website anymore. Bittrex has a policy not to list any coin/asset that pays dividends.

On this summer we will more the asset from NXT to SUPERNET assetchain (it's own blockchain). After that it will be trading in Agama.

When is the next monthly KMD withdrawal??  Do you have to wait for the initial ICO bought Komodo for the monthly withdrawal as well??

It is in the beginning of May, not exactly sure which day, probably around 5-7.5

If I already requested a payout and now i want to switch my address to a bittrex address can I do it?

The wallet isn't working for me at all and no one seems to know why

Are you running the latest Agama version?
Are you sure no firewall nor antivirus program is blocking Agama?
Have you tried to go to 'basilisk actions' and click "Clear & fetch basilisk data"?
on startup, are you connecting to 8 or 50 basilisk servers? If 50, then you will need to edit your conf file.

It's easier to trouble shoot in real time conversation. Hopefully you get it working! If not, then let us know more details so we can solve your problem.
