I went through the Komodo white paper, the concept looks good, and notory concept is ok as per dPoS, however the central question is really how BTC will allow you to send your transaction to their blockchain? Certainly they can't allow this, otherwise X coin, Y coin all can do the same, which will mess up BTC chain. Without it, the Komodo will be nothing new, it will be a plain PoW or PoS coin.
Maybe dev can provide some more details how you can get to Bitcoin's blockchain?
I have spent a lot of time to use totally standard transactions:

Thanks for the reply. While you can make transactions conforming BTC's protocol, if they keep accepting these, the already huge BTC blockchain will become even bigger, I can't imagine how they could allow that (remember Komodo will not be the only one). It's a great concept to use it, but at some point they will have to stop it, unless you will convince them to make it like Ethereum, with sidechains etc trying to cover the whole world. In that case, maybe yes, but they'll have to change big their structure.
Hi!
Actually very likely Komodo will be the only one to do notarizations to Bitcoin blockchain! Other blockchains will send the transactions to Komodo's blockchain, and through the linkage they will get Bitcoin level security.
On our roadmap we are also looking to solve the scalability issues. We mention that in our latest Steemit article:
Bitcoin Will Ride With LizardsI can understand that's the wish of Komodo and I do wish it become true. However, if Komodo has early success on it, there will be people cloning the idea and also hook up on the bitcoin blockchain, which will certain disturb the normal function of BTC, and BTC community won't be agreeing on it I am sure...
I see some flaws in your logic...
First off, if others can use KMD chain and get similar benefits, then it seems much more economical to use the KMD chain instead of BTC. It is rather expensive to write to BTC chain.
Most important mistake you are making is thinking that the BTC community needs to agree to accept transactions. Remember bitcoin is permissionless, nobody needs anybody else's permission to send a transaction to the blockchain.
Granted, they could break bitcoin so it is unable to accept transactions at all, then certainly the KMD transactions wont get to the BTC chain as BTC wont exist anymore.
You logic is basically concluding that KMD will force BTC to kill itself.
I disagree
