I "know" James now since August 2014 and all he is doing, day in day out, is coding, coding and bugfixing. On his own! He started the SuperNET project and within that project he started a lot of other little to normal projects, but all related to SuperNET. At one point even i thought that he wouldn't make it. Too many things here and there.

But i've been busy for almost a week now with building notary nodes and i must say, it is pretty damn impressive what he has achieved already. Everything is still related to SuperNET/BTCD only now i see finally the connection between all of his work of the past years. Yeah, BTCD got a new name and some things have changed, but that was mainly because NXT is following another path and James had to do something. And the outcome is very impressive.

So, about your question if he can keep up his word. I'm very sure about that one, right now. Check his Github and see there his work. Do you really think he would abandon his work now after 2 years of coding without even being on an holiday (as far as i know)? No, if there was a decentralised bet about if he would make it or not, i would place ALL my BTC's on YES.

There is NO doubt, for me, that he wouldn't finish this product. Or something bad would happen to him. That would be the only reason why this project wouldn't end, because it is too big for someone to pick it up and finish it.

Do not forget one thing. He codes this all alone! And for that he is for me one of the biggest coders of the world. Also a very n00b friendly one.

I'm in for Komodo and if you want my advice (you don't have to take it) then you should do it also.

I suspect substation profit taking for the first 2-3 weeks KMD is listed. Can someone from the team confirm the exact BTCD to KMD redeem price formula to be:

 0.00532074(+bonus)*[[1 - [((My Swap Day) - (1st Day of Swap))*0.05]/365]]

link to picture of gui posted today with working syscoin transaction.   Exact time of release is not known,  but if you hang around our slack you can see the team working feverishly and make estimate based on your own conclusions

Again, missing the point.  Everybody knows he doesn't do GUI, so no need to repeat.  Not trying to rush anything or be impatient.  Just curious how well he can keep his word, that's all.  It gives us an idea of how likely things that he say will happen, will actually happen.

Mainnet will be launched approximately 2 weeks after the end of the ICO.    Deposits for the ICO will be done on KomodoPlatform.com  when the ICO becomes live.

so when will the wallet come out and what address do i send the btc to for my komodo coins?

JL777 is not doing GUI development,   Iguana GUI is being worked on by Boogieman and EasyDex GUI is being worked on by grewalsatinder.    He completed his part of the work, now the other developers are working to bring it to the finish line.   Coding takes time,  and its better to have a project with no/little bugs than to have to issue constant updates to fix bugs in a rushed release.  Be patient.

I think you're kind of missing the point, jl777.  The point is to prove that you can keep your word and in return, develop more trust and a better reputation which will help the ICO.  You did say iguana GUI will be done before ICO.  Yes, it's not a big deal whether or not this happens from a tech point of view.  But if you say something is going to happen, then it's important to make sure it will.

Relax, Boogieman is attempting to raise 20 million USD. What could go wrong?

OK 1 developer is annonymous, why is all the other fake names behind this project need to stay annonymous ?? if they even exist.

the project aims for annonymousity, they want to raise money, in a normal world the minimum is to know who gets the investors money.

I don't know who jl777 is but he said from the beginning that he will not reveal his real name and he wishes to remain anonymous. Afterall, you are asking for names in a project whose aim is to enhance anonymity - can't you see the irony in this?  It is your choice to invest or not

I agree with this suggestion.All the people associated with this project should come in public to give this project more authenticity

hi,

Why don't you put real names and faces for the team of the project??
I cannot think of another reason other than that this project is a SCAM.

You have answered this question but your answer doesn't make sence.

It's very easy to put real names and pictures, you must have a good reason not to.

Please count me in!  

This is a cool ico, I am ready for launch.

The KMD supply is fixed, but the amount of capital we receive is not. Thus there is no way to set an exchange rate for BTC/KMD until the ICO has ended.

We made a "KMD calculator" so everyone can speculate how much KMD they would receive under different scenarios.


The calculator can be downloaded from our website.

Last time I checked we had received 300 BTC and about to receive another 300 BTC. Sorry I don't know if the situation has changed since then.

We can give an update about this tomorrow/before ICO starts. That's not a problem


Hello!

Keep an eye on the countdown on komodoplatform.com, after it runs out you can enter the ICO site where you can send your BTC.

For the BTCD swap you will have to wait until the ICO is over. We highly encourage you to send your BTCD's to a local wallet, so you can participate to the snapshot and get a REV asset. The snapshot is taken after the ICO, right before the swapping begins. Fore more info visit bitcoindark.com and read the guide linked there!

KMD testnet keeps chugging along and we now have almost a dozen active testnet notary nodes. We are doing daily deployments.

Today, we got 3 and 4 node group tx to work:
https://blockchain.info/tx/7b5a864df608ee39208efa9bebc2d62896fdbaf4d83e1bf7d0ae99e37b433aa4

and latest version is testing a 5 way notarized transaction. We wont have to increment it one at a time to 33, soon I should be able to just set it to N/2 + 1. There have been many bugs I fixed over the last days and now it appears to be working fairly smoothly.

I added notary packet versioning so non-updated notaries dont mess up the protocol. Dramatically reduced redundant packet transmissions and the notary network is pubkey based, so there is a layer privacy as far as the IP address goes.

However it is not anything that can be relied on as it is at the mixin level, but it is better than nothing. Along the way, the notary tx to KMD chain seems to have stopped being consistent, so I need to fix that next.

So steady progress. Not quite stable enough, but considering it just came online in its initial form a few days ago, things are coming together timely. I will now split time between improving the notarization process and the remaining loose ends.
