how does this work are u able to say 100% that bitcoin you sent cant be traced back to you ?

Please read the post that james wrote on why the ICO fundraiser is neccessary. If it was that easy it would have been done.

lol everyone in crypto is greedy, don't be silly.

I for one welcome pre ICO whales, the bigger the investors the better the potential rollercoaster will be

I am sitting this one out. I am sure the ICO will go just fine. It would have been ideal if there were just a swap of BTCD and allow Notary Nodes to start mining blocks with dPoW. Then the Notary Nodes get paid by selling their coins or they keep them and speculate. Now would be the time to rethink using an ICO. The swap of BTCD would make the value the same to start or cause buying in the market right now raising the price, and at that point if you want 200M coins you raise the Block reward. I just don't see why KMD needs so many coins. Since the devs need payment, instead of an ICO just have a premine for the 10%.  Then miners have incentive to mine the rest and support the network and the original BTCD holders don't get diluted initially 1.2M to 100M-200M even with the 25% it makes them a fraction of the new network. Transactions would have tx's fees to pay the BTC fees etc.

The following was automatically generated by a pair of test notary nodes:

notice the OP_RETURN data has the KMD blockhash and height (byte reversed) and it is in the BTC blockchain

In the corresponding KMD confirmation of the BTC notarization, the OP_RETURN has the same data as the BTC tx and also has the BTC txid and name of source coin.

Both the notary transactions use inputs originating from the pubkey of the notary node and since it is a SIGHASH_ALL transaction, it means all signers have validated the data, which in this case is the OP_RETURN data.

The next step is to verify that the dPoW notary tx creation works with more than 2 notary nodes at a time. I coded it in a way that uses "numnotaries" and numnotaries/2+1 as the key thresholds. Over the weekend, the testnet notary operators have been busy getting their rigs up to speed and we have over half a dozen ready to go.

Once we can get a steady stream BTC notarized KMD blocks, then it is the home stretch to use this data to modify the consensus algorithm to avoid/prevent overwriting any block at or before the highest notarized height.

tl:dr dPoW notarized data is automatically being written to BTC blockchain
https://blockchain.info/address/1P3rU1Nk1pmc2BiWC8dEy9bZa1ZbMp5jfg can be used to track these notarized tx

 

There is no dilution of rev share for BTCD holders. So whatever % of BTCD you hold vs the total, that is how many % of assets in the new asset chain.

There is no official asset, but maybe 3rd parties will setup KMD asset on NXT.

Most of the team is not anonymous, only the main developer is famously anonymous!

For the small investors, BTCD is advantageous even now.

What will the ratio of profit distribution assets distributed between BTCD holder be?

At first do you distribute it for NXT assets?

Look interesting but why anonymous?

Multigateway

It is an asset based automated multisig gateway that I pioneered in the NXT Asset Exchange 2 years ago.

MofN (2of3) independently controlled servers accept deposits in native crypto and issue matching amount of assets. Also, assets can be redeemed as native crypto to any native address.

Combined with the built in asset exchange allows for crypto <-> crypto trading. We are now seeing other implementations of this idea. Waves is building this type of functionality into their asset system.

What does MGW stand for? I am a newbie sorry for this simple question.

Thank you for your greed and good luck with your project.

p.s. All the best to your friends - the whales.

I am technical advisor to waves, especially regarding MGW

Isn't jl777 with the Waves platform team?

technically it is minable, but unless an elected notary node, odds are going to be really skewed against you.

There have been no insider deals and several large investors approached us for getting a bigger discount with a pre-ICO investment. This is not anything we planned, we are just responding to demand.

Now, it is important that everybody get the same opportunity as everybody else. The only requirement is the amount of the BTC. Considering the size and the timing, the extra percentage bonus is appropriate. This is open to everybody, nobody is forced to do this.

We are not talking about a 3x or 5x advantage to the large investors. It is 5% to 10%. If anybody really thinks this is unfair, well, we have to agree to disagree. Whales always get a better deal than the rest, I hope people will analyze this objectively and not with emotions.

I like all the features this coin offers, is it minable? I guess only if we host a node right?

Unless these investors actually know the team. But in this case you wouldn't need to advertise this bonus!

This is exactly what we have taken a stand against. Greed.

what relationship  betweenthis coin and the zcash ? it's worth investing from now?
