yesterday, there was a request to create a new coin. So I took an hour out to make WIRELESS coin as an assetchain. I found a few undocumented steps in the new asssetchain creation process, so I fixed that.

just made KV assetchain, will be added to list of coins
it will have the smart function of Key Value storage
took 15 minutes from concept to notaries funded with KV coin so they can dPoW

but it has no smart functionality yet, that will be added as I can, in order to solve some DEX and PAX issues, I need a KV storage, so I figured might as well make a decentralized KV to help out.

KV storage is a low level way a lot of things that need a database do things
KV chain will be a decentralized KV storage that can be used by anything that uses the KV API
 
decentralized data storage is relatively important as it allows for long term state to be securely created and modified, it will mimic an append only database, so changing data will be supported.

There are 1 million KV coins and its value will reflect the value of decentralized KV storage. Of course, KV is dPoW'ed and supports zcash shielded transactions. Record size will be limited to 8192 bytes, but multiple records can be combined to create larger sized storage. txfee is standard bitcoin txfee model, and if the capacity becomes an issue, a fee market will develop.

In order to reward the long time SuperNET investors, I will be sharedropping 20% of KV coin to SuperNET coin holders. We will need to create a migration path from the SuperNET NXT asset to the SUPERNET assetchain first,but that is already in the works for the migration of the various NXT assets. Once that is done, then we can do a KV sharedrop. You must hold the SUPERNET coin (not NXT asset) to get the sharedrop as there is no way to directly sharedrop a KMD assetchain coin in NXT.

If you are interested to be a part of KV coin team, please contact me, I certainly wont have time to do much with KV coin (other than technical) and I think it has a relatively large possibility for usage due to the popularity of KV storage. KV coin bounties and even some KMD will be made available

KV coin is an example of how I see the komodo ecosystem developing. As coins such as KV get established and succeed, KMD will gain value as the underlying coin.

I have 1/2 my SN in Nxt exchange and 1/2 in Unity. How do I get it into the SN Coin??
As I wrote above "We will need to create a migration path from the SuperNET NXT asset to the SUPERNET assetchain first,but that is already in the works for the migration of the various NXT assets. Once that is done, then we can do a KV sharedrop. "

this is work in progress

regarding Gui Wallets, how can you say its production ready without support for the most popular OS or give a rough ETA for the Windows Release?

GUI Wallet Progress Update!

Quote from: grewalsatinder
Updated EasyDEX-GUI with bit more performance and fixing some GUI issues.
- The Add coin dialog box now let's you start Komodo in Native mode, and is conditionaly set to select Native mode ONLY if user selects a Supported Native coin from the dropdown coins list.
- The Basilisk Mode, in which user doesn't need Full blockchain to download on their local machines, is updated with new DEX* APIs in EasyDEX-GUI at some places. James already made Basilisk APIs to be compatible with DEX* where needed, but I adapted the code to be bit flexible to conditonally use the DEX* APIs at some places instead of Basilisk for better performance.
- Native Komodo Wallet earlier wasn't showing any progress of wallet sync with network. With latest updates it shows the sync progress percentage, blocks synced, longest known block number, and number of connected peers with wallet.
- Also fixed some bugs in EasyDEX-GUI Dashboard. Coins listed with Native mode status now goes to their Native Wallet screens unlike before just showing Wallet screen under Dashboard which are only for Full Mode or Basilisk Mode.

From EasyDEX-GUI part I'm feeling better as it's more better than before and release version.

There are few things being worked on which are last issues to be solved for Iguana Wallet.
- There's "pm2" module related bug which doesn't let iguana  daemon start with Production version of Iguana Wallet. In Developement Environment, it works without any issue. And this issue is Only specific to OS X and Windows. This issue doesn't seems to be specific to our code, but seems like an issue specific to "Electron" and "pm2". @ca333  had a word with devs, and possibly it will be not just fixed for our project, but will be a fix for anyone using these technologies in their projects.
- Iguana Wallet comes with iguana daemon and komodod  daemon bundled with it. The bundled binaries needs to be static and should not look for any dependency libraries on system. In case a user is having a fresh install of OS, the binaries should work without issues.
We have iguana and komododdaemons working in static mode on platforms as follows:

OS X = iguana - Static | komodod - Static
Linux = iguana - Static | komodod - Dynamic
Windows = iguana - Static | komodod - NOT SUPPORTED YET

Once we have have the static binaries for OS X and Linux done, it'll be production ready and I'll make installers for team and users for easy install on their machines.

The KV functionality didnt take long to add to komodod. It works for all the blockchains, komodod and all its assetchains. This allows each chain to have its own KV storage.

Initially, it does no protections for keys, so anybody can update any key at any time. Still thinking about the best way to give update rights to the creator and not to others. I am leaning toward having a signature in the value portion. That way we can use an external signature system to manage this. Using utxo sigs just seems a bit too messy.

The API is as simple as can be:

kvupdate key value
kvsearch key

For now, everything is a string, didnt want to complicate things to deal with binary key/values. It does waste about 12% of space, I can always add encoding modes later. The following is a simple test sequence. I first assign the value of "bar" to the key "foo". Then I overwrite it with the value of "spam"

To make the behavior identical on all nodes, until the block with the KV entry is processed, it wont take effect.

Code:

./komodo-cli kvupdate foo bar
6a0f4b03000300c77c0200666f6f626172 opretbuf
6a0f4b03000300c77c0200666f6f626172 opretbuf[17]

Looking for something great!
My waiting stage is coming to an end . In about almost two week . I can have KMD . The wallet looks pretty neat .

so within this month KMD wallet will be ready ? that is good.

KV coin is an example of how I see the komodo ecosystem developing. As coins such as KV get established and succeed, KMD will gain value as the underlying coin.

Somehow I have the feeling that the underlying coins can suffer from ICOs. For example NXT had a steady decline, since it was massively used as ICO relay.

I also can somehow understand why. People, that had a lot of NXT, became rich.
Some cached out already, but the people, who still held were investing a high percentage of their NXT in assets.
But those asset distributors were of course caching out a lot, because they need the money... so it can only lead to decline...
Each assetchain is totally its own coin. When they use dPoW they create demand for KMD. The assetchain coins are denominated in themselves and they control their own destiny.

Also, I am not proposing any ICO for KV coin. It is not out of the question, but it would be up to the KV team, which is in the process of spontaneously forming. Whatever they do can only be incremental extra activity within the komodo ecosystem. There is no sell pressure on KMD as it is not denominated in KMD.

I think it is best to analyze the komodo ecosystem with a fresh look, rather than assuming it suffers from the same ills as older systems

Yes, but unlike Nxt we don't have colored coins. We have coins with independent blockchains.

You don't need KMD to buy those coins, you can buy them with BTC. Thus the project gets BTC as its capital instead of KMD, and it won't create a constant sell pressure for KMD - like it did for NXT.

BTCD just hit a new 26 month high in USD terms.. $4.40.  It seems to be creeping higher and higher in anticipation of KMD distribution on Jan 31st.   Here are the details why:

Current BTCD Price (Poloniex):  .004885 BTCD/BTC

Current BTC/BTCD rate:
204.71: 1 (amount of BTCD that you get for 1 BTC)

KMD/BTCD swap rate
: 50.3375: 1 (amount of KMD you will get for 1 BTCD that you swap on ICO site)

KMD/BTC current rate: 10304.511 (amount of KMD you get for 1 BTC worth of BTCD at current price on Poloniex)

KMD/BTC ICO rate: 7746.522 : 1 (amount of KMD you got for 1 BTC at the end of ICO with no bonus)

Current extra KMD via BTCD: +2557.989 KMD or +33.02% extra (relative to ICO KMD/BTC rate at the end of ICO with no bonus)

So at current prices, you get much more KMD that you would have gotten at the end of the ICO.

The price could rise sharply from here to .006512 BTCD/BTC and you would still get the same amount of KMD. per BTC spent, as during the final phase of the ICO.
To swap BTCD for KMD:   https://ico.komodoplatform.com/

Request that KMD be added to Poloniex here:   https://poloniex.com/coinRequest

Iguana Multiwallet Update #20

0.2  released
We double checked if we had closed all the issues related t the release code and finally I published it. Anyone can find a detailed description of Iguana 0.2 release notes.

0.3 started
Another version tasks are in production. We have already done the first EasyDEX integration steps.  The backlog may be extended with a couple of some technical tasks discovered during development, but at the moment it is foreseen to be done within two weeks. I'm breaking tasks into small pieces to cover more tasks within a shorter period and to release as often as possible. We have failed to release often before, and now we are trying to find the right pace and stick to that.

Security
Iguana applications are about using, sending,  holding and trading valuables. Thus fund safety and easy access for a user at the same time must be treated as the most important tasks in technical and user-experience spectrums. Accordingly to my shallow analysis and overall usage of some crypto services, most of them do not take this aspect as serious as they must which causes user's bad experience, loss of reputation, additional cost for support and issues solving. That's why I'm going to study possible risks deeper and allocate related tasks for the further releases.

Testing

As  I wrote earlier, we have already applied unit tests and agreed to perform them on a weekly basis for new and old features. Now the guys are busy with automated tests and Nightwatch for UAT (user acceptance tests).

Marketing & Management
New SuperNET site is in development, where you can find an exclusive presentation about Iguana and all stable applications very soon. The roadmap will be published there too. And I think these updates will be posted on the site as well.

I see here and there, the community is discussing new features for Iguana platform, but we are still in the very begging of a big way and to come to our goals fast, we need a better strategic vision and more forces. We, gladly, reviewed and agreed on the product strategy regarding Iguana, Komodo and other SuperNET's technologies. Soon the team will welcome new members too.

Stay tuned.
