dPoW progress report.

I added the code inside komodod to use the data that the iguana notary dapp is creating.

Currently, it isnt saving the data to HDD, so it is just to make sure that all the data processing is correct. So far, it appears to be updating properly. Not being familiar with the C++ code, I was pleasantly surprised to find a clean checkpoints test that was perfect to expand to add the dPoW checkpoint. So as the notary dapp writes the checkpoint data, komodod processes it and sets the most recent NOTARIZED_HEIGHT and HASH which the checkpoint test uses.

komodod is also detecting all the special transactions and while it isnt updating the active notary list yet, it now has all the data flowing through it.

I had allocated a full week for this part, but it seems I did most of it already. The following is the remaining todo list:

a) update list of current notaries using processed data
b) HDD storage of processed data
c) add "notarized" fields to getinfo command
d) award 5% APR for utxo older than a week when they are spent
e) round robin mining difficulty

a) and b) are all that is needed to get a full dPoW implementation live and it wont need any GUI. with c) it will provide the explorers the info needed to color code the blocks that are notarized. I dont expect these three items to take much more than a day.

Once those are done, we are left with the 5% APR and the round robin mining to achieve nearly PoS efficiencies even though zcash PoW is being used.

The last two require more C++ code changes, so progress will be slower than my C speeds, but I aim to complete it by start of next week. At that point, the komodod changes will be complete and all that would be left is to rebase to the final zcash release. The last rebase only took a few hours, so it seems we are getting close to finishing the komodod changes.

I have allocated next week to adding dPoW into assetchains, so there will be real live example of how to use dPoW from external chains, and it also solves the method of distributing REVS.

Beyond that, I need to revise iguana a bit to properly deal with the latest komodo changes and see if I can get basilisk functionality to work. That would allow all OS to be able to do at least the transparent komodo transactions. I already added a komodo pass through mode into iguana that allows commands to be sent from GUI to komodod.

So, as the ICO is in progress, the core tech is being completed. For the additional development work, of course, the ICO funding will be needed so it cant be started until after the ICO.

I'll tell you a secret!

Not everyone is anon in our team. For example TwinWinNerD is one of the key holders, and he is the CEO of Bitpanda.

All the members have been a long time in our community, and you would have to wonder how jl777 could manages to do all that coding, and answer the all those questions while pretending to also be another person with another nickname

There's a fair point though, that it shouldn't be called an escrow, but a team multi-signature address.

You raise a good question, it is declouds escrow scam, but jl777 is famous in the cummonity, he should be real into project.

everybody anon. you sure 2 of 3 keyholders isnt same person?

Good information in one place! Thanks for the link, yassin54!

As i have not seen any translation work of anyones in your main first post, so i thought of asking it,

Don't forget the asset tokens also associated with BTCD  

I bought BTCD instead of investing strait into KMD with BTC and I'm glad I did now.  Its a more complicated method to buy into the ICO then using BTC but well worth the little bit of extra effort. TBH im so surprised more people haven't done it.

Hello!

Yes we had translation bounties, but all the languages we selected have been done and posted, so no more translation bounties available.

Thanks for your interest though


Thanks!

Thanks!! 

Looking good komodo team, congrats.

Hey,

Is their any Translation Bounty, As i can do Hindi Translation for Indian Altcoin Board, Please reserve me for Hindi Translation bounty if it is still available.

Iguana is a full featured GUI that also supports Komodo. We will have a light client and a full client. So Komodo will have a GUI.

Whatever there would be an additional Komodo GUI has not been fully decided by the developer team. We will update you guys as soon as we have our design choices locked down.



There is a multisig address that 3 of our team members hold.


Thanks! We sure are working hard.

Keep following us and hopefully we can change your mind!


Yes, below certain market price it is better to buy BTCD. However, it is only a way for small investors to get it, as any larger buy's would drive up the price. Thus at the end BTC is the real way to get into this ICO.

Please correct me if the following thoughts are wrong:

Assuming an average bonus of around 15% for all people investing with BTC, the final swaprate for the bitcoindark conversion will be 0.00532074 BTC/BTCD * 1.15 = 0.006118851 BTC/BTCD.
Because the current BTC bonus is 20% it would be better right now to take part in this ICO via BTCD and not BTC as long as the BTCD price is under 0.00611885 BTC/BTCD / 1.20 = 0.00509904 BTC/BCTD.

For me too risky.

Also i dont like the buyout of of btcdark bagholders with 50% premium.
Dont like the high costs of btc blockchain transactions.

Anyway, good luck. I am sure there is alot of work and sweat inside the project.

where btc go after ico? we trust 1 anon man as sole keyholder?

I leave it's answer to James.

i expect ZCash to do so, but am asking if Komodo will do the same !
or just wait for them and then copy it ?

Web GUI does not count, are we talking about security or not so a QT it has to be !
this coin will be launched in November ? well a QT by then would be 'nice'

I always say and follow "Don't assume, just ask".

The GUI of Komodo is Web GUI, which can work on any OS.
The C code of Komodo which is a fork of Zcash builds a native OS specific binaries.
Why you expect either zcash or Komodo to NOT solve OS X build issues? No matter what funding is raised.

https://forum.z.cash/t/build-zcash-on-os-x/2587/5
mac build - nothing yet - will take time

so komodo is not building their own wallets ? just waiting for others (ZCash) to do it ?
where will all that ICO $$ go then ?
sorry but if you do not get wallets going with a X amount of funding from ICO than ... ??  

u have to remember that jl777 has a terrible reputation in this space
so i suggest to be over transparrent and over deliver as promised !!!
otherwise .....
