Yes correct, everyone should swap their BTCD's to KMD. There is no exact plan about what to do with the BTCD we receive in the swap.

So a BTCD holder has no reason not to swap within a year after the ICO, otherwise they will be holding a coin that is no longer maintained ... Can you please explain what would be done with the swapped BTCD once the year is over?

I mean what will be more profitable? Btc or btcd on ico on the first day.

 Do you need ico current price possible advantage?

BTCD holders swap their BTCD for KMD, that means they lose their BTCD coins. We don't expect the BTCD to have much value without any devs or plans. However, it should be linked to the KMD price for one full year, as it can still be swapped for KMD. All the BTCD that is swapped will just sit in a BTCD address and not go get sold or go to circulation. So there is no reason to expect the BTCD price to dump during the next year. Every BTCD holder will have plenty of time to do the swap.

The following was calculated based on the BTC bonus:

    Oct. 15 - 25% bonus = 0.00425 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 16-22 - 20% bonus = 0.00443 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 23-29 - 15% bonus = 0.00462 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 30-Nov 5 - 10% bonus = 0.00483 BTC/BTCD
    Nov 6-12 - 5% bonus = 0.00506 BTC/BTCD
    Nov 13-20 - 0% bonus = 0.00532 BTC/BTCD

Now anyone can control one of the 64 nodes which are needed for the Komodo Notary Network.

I have for rent:

6 (or 8, when i'm not getting elected) BadAss Notary Node incl. colo in a bulletproof location in the Netherlands.
A node can also be swapped with one of the servers in another geographic region!

1 x Intel Xeon L5520 (4 cores/8 threads) you can use 2 threads for Komodod and 2 for Bitcoind and others for administrative tasks.
64GB memory
1 x 500GB Samsung Enterprise SSD (no consumer version)
15TB bandwidth
1 x IPv4 addresses
KVM access and control panel
Installed with preferrable Linux distro

200USD per month in BTC (3 months up front)

I can fully secure the server and install everything for you for a fee if you don't know how to do that (one time 100usd). It is also possible that i manage the server for a fee (25usd per month)

My DC has an uptime of 99.9% (in reality it is 100%). jl777, BTCDdev and others can confirm this. All servers are directly connected to the AMS-IX backbones.

Keep in mind, you'll get 500usd per month in KMD & BTC (if KMD are not 500usd worth at that time). So a profit of 300USD. 200USD you pay me in BTC.

3 months up front, after that payment per month or annually (with discount 1 month FREE).

You rent the server ANONYMOUS. But please, don't think you can abuse the server. Phishing, spam mailruns, kiddyporn and terrorism is strictly forbidden!!

When payment is not received at the first week of a new month, the power goes down and you lose the right to be the owner of the node. A new owner will get elected and the pubkey will be changed on the notary node list.

ELECTION (READ THIS!)

Only elected people can get a spot. Server admins will get elected by the shareholders. This means that you can still be on the list for a spot, even when i already have 6 clients. If they won't get elected their spot comes available again. So I am looking for 14 possible clients.

You only pay when you get elected! So, basically this offer is a no brainer. Get elected and earn 300usd per month!

CURRENT LIST:

- yassinnxt
- pondsea
- stenkross
- proto
- Killakem
- Durerus
- Frl4web
- bitcoinuserx (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)

Only 1 spot per client

Q&A

- What do i need to do when i get elected?
Setup the server as a Komodo Notary Node, sit back and relax. Of course you have to secure the server so do your maintenance and updates.

- How do I get elected?
I don't know. Do a trump campaign, act crazy like Clinton or hug the shareholders? It's all up to you. Or read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16450895

- Is it really free money?
Well..uhm yeah. Get elected, run the node, receive Komodo's and there it is. Free money.

- What if the Komodo's are not worth the 500usd?
jl777 will give the rest in BTC from the ICO funds.

- Ok, i'm in, what to do?
Write a message in this topic why you want the node. And if you trust me up front, write me a trust review on BCT.

- What is BadAss Security Services?

BadAss (me) is a privacy and security consultant and specialised in being paranoia. BadAss does not like Tor services and so called anonymous VPN providers. BadAss provides co-location servers for all kinds of blockchain projects.

BadAss stands for an open and free internet and provides different services to support that noble thought. Like for instance:

Bulletproof VPS https://www.badass.sx
Bulletproof VPN https://www.rootvpn.eu
Encrypted Email Service https://www.safe-mail.eu
Bulletproof Blockchain Nodes
Anonymous domain registration
Anonymous DNS servers
SSL certificates
Installations of all kinds of services

BadAss cares about your privacy. For all of our services we only need your name and BTC payment.

We will make the internet GREAT again!!!

Are you talking about the ICO?

People can invest with BTC during the ICO, but we will also swap all the BTCD for KMD after the ICO.

Sorry if I missed something but where can we register to participate in ICO or how?
Do we require to participate with BTCD in order to avail bonus?

Or does the BTCD on the main chain still Trade? Do BTCD holders get both the asset and their original coin? This would dump the price of BTCD and not pay for the Nodes as there is no selling of the BTCD to sustain the ICO. I am probably confused here

We now have a couple of blockexplorers:

http://www.zpool.ca/explorer/1720 is by crackers

and http://148.251.57.148:3001/ was ported by oxarbitrage. hashes are endian reversed, but it has richlist and address balances and is quite useful for testing

or to ico payment will only BTC converted into btcd? Is it possible to directly btcd pay? How then will be converted? 

you need to join #notarynode in the supernet slack. autoinvite via slackinvite.supernet.org

The way to get added to the list is to get a testnet notary node running and get me your pubkey that you are mining with.

Max of 64 official notary node operators

Do we need to have the dedicated server already in place for the vote? Or it´s enough to describe the server which will be ordered after a successful candidacy?  

BTW: I entered the slack channel (username @rnr) for participate with an VPS in the testnet.

Komodo testnet has sustained 1 minute blocks for over a day now! With the 2MB block limit, that means KMD can handle 20x the number of transparent tx that bitcoin can. The zcash tx are quite a bit bigger so the number would be about 5x smaller if measured in zcash tx.

Thanks to all that are running testnet nodes. If you have any decent type of server, it will be enough for testnet purposes and you can get a head start on being elected as an official notary node for the $500/mo payment

Being up to speed on the technical side is the most important part of running a notary node. There appear to be plenty of vendors that offer cost effective hardware and bandwidth with the needed requirements of 64GB RAM and 500GB SSD, 100mbit/sec+ bandwidth
