I think we are going to be stuck in holding patten for a while. There are some large holders of this coin. Is there a way to look at the rich list?
That's the thing, most of the KMDs are in the wallet earning interest. There is maybe about 1% of KMD out there being traded in exchanges. We have to think of a better way to gain wider acceptance and popularity , maybe get Andreas Antonopoulos to write a book about KMD. OR if anybody can write a book about KMD (mastering KMD) and publish it on Amazon . So far there are books about bitcoin , and ethereum. Just an Idea.
What would publishing a book on KMD achieve?
Good Question. By riding the waves of Bitcoin popularity using keyword such as " bitcoin" and "Cryptocurrency" on amazon ebook and utilizing title such as " Why KMD will be the next Bitcoin and better?" and publishing the ebook for free on amazon. The book will rise in sales rank. At least everybody on this community can use their amazon account to download the free book to help jump start the Amazon best seller rank on the book. (Also writing review and maybe even added it the Amazon wishlist). Just for info, currently the book "Mastering Bitcoin" rank 27512 on amazon best seller rank in books category, so that's really good. ( Considering books category has millions of titles).
Also maybe using affiliate marketing. (if somebody bought KMD through the link, the referrer will get a few KMDs.) This is an old trick to launch product. But this is just a thought, of course.
How about hassle free working wallets that would be a great point to Shrill about....getting very tied of reading how great Komodo is, when there is not even easy to use working wallet. Don't get me wrong I see plenty
of potential..........But a long hard road to get there......James is off coding new features like trading bots while the majority of stake holders are still stuck at stage 1 asking how do I find my Balance...How can I move
my coins....You SHRILLS do my head in
Cheers Jon
Not sure why there is this perception that I need to somehow not work on the next thing after I have completed what I am able to do for the current release.
The issues that remain are not anything that I can help with. So, I could just not do any new coding and wait. But that does not seem quite right.
Adding more pressure to the GUI team to release, that I could do, but that would seem counter productive as they are all working hard and making good progress and adding pressure could well just create delay.
Please understand that there is a relatively large team working on komodo and I am doing just the deep core portions. And that by its nature the parts I work on has to be completed before the other parts can be completed, or even started on in some cases.
If it makes you feel better, I do fix any issues with komodod and iguana that are serious bugs at the highest priority, like the overflow crash today. Also, out of the work I am doing on the marketmaker, we were able to get basilisk mode for BTC to work without importaddress and without requiring the notary nodes to run the DEX explorer. This directly relates to the upcoming GUI release, but it only happened as I was creating a new required functionality for the DEX.
Alternatively, I could just not post any details about anything I am working on that is beyond the scope of the current release. However, that would seem to give the "insiders" (people active in slack) a distinct advantage as I do have to communicate what I am doing as it relates to others and that happens in slack.
