Topic: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - An Open, Composable Smart Chain Platform, Secured by B - page 872. (Read 1192373 times)

there is no call for personal insults, please lets try to be civil

The vision Komodo has could not be achieved without new funding. There is no way to have dPoW without this Komodo ICO. Money is required to get this off the ground, i.e. pay bitcoin tx fees.

I encourage you all to see the long term goal. There isn't going to be a big pumb and quick profit.

James has always been developing the long term solutions for crypto, and dPoW is one of them.

Soon other cryptocurrencies can use Komodo to secure their blockchain with bitcoin's hashrate. The new anonymity features are better than they were in BTCD.

The BTCD just got a major upgrade, with the cost of having to rise more money. All long term BTCD investors got in with a great price.

Best regards.

iguana is still on track, independent of komodo
komodo will get the iguana of course

as to price, just think of it as a little pause. The flip side of having a known price is that it wont go down too far from it either. Markets have prices going up and down and the price is at essentially a 1 year all time high price

We have to be a fair and balanced pricing for the ICO investors. the fact that there is all this complaining that it is unfair to BTCD holders, I guess means that ICO investors wont be complaining we gave BTCD holders too good of a deal.

Especially since I am a large holder of BTCD, I hope you can see how I had to err on the side of not overrewarding BTCD holders.

Also, the ICO funds that come in will allow a lot more to be accomplished.

Maybe it is a short term paper loss for some and I apologize for that. If it makes you feel any better, I am suffering the same paper loss and probably a lot larger scale than most anybody.

I have been working on the core nonstop, literally 14+ hrs per day 28 days per month for over 2 years. And in the last year I doubled the SuperNET NAV after having neglected it and letting it drop 75% due to NXT price decline.

I couldnt go public with the plan as that would have contaminated the price average. And if it was pushed up to .01 by BTCD holders who wanted to boost their share of the komodo (admit it you would have thought about doing it), then it would have been sabotaging the ICO investors.

So if you are suffering, I feel your pain directly and to a larger degree. I did what I believe is fair to both sides and just keep in mind that while the price probably wont go up too much, it wont go down too much either

Let us try to focus on the breakthrough that dPoW is and the introduction of zero knowledge proofs.

I was kicked out of slack after telling one of the admins that he is dumb stupid fuck.
He is.

I did ask for you to not be banned, that wasnt my decision. you can be reinstated if you want

Time for BTCDC
(Bitcoindark Classic)

Fuck it

completely agree with this

That's the thing. We have all being waiting for iguana which was so close, I have invested some funds way above 0.004 hoping that when your job is finally done it would be worth much more. So what do I get now? Looks like I should have staid off. Not complaining, your projects always returned me some cash, but to promise something for months and then when almost everything is ready to say we will only buy it at the current price, no more then that,  .....

If you value BTCD at 0.01 you'll get almost the same BTC's and you'll have most of BTCD holders much more happy than they're now.

Myself, I was planning a BTCD at 20-30 M $ valuation in a year with iguana coming, but this changes everything...

Don't know what to say man... broken plans...

Have been kicked out of the slack after holding this coin for 2 years b/c I stated this was a money grab and scammy behaviour. Well done James

but why would anyone invest in btc than?

Just one sincere thing James:

I understand that you cannot value BTCD at X10 of current prices for the ico, but the value of 0.0053 seems to me too low. Lots of people have trust in you all this time, buying lots of BTCD upper that level, and I think they deserve a bigger reward from you.

I'm not telling to value BTCD at X10, but the current valuation is too low.

Always remember the ones who have been loyal and benefit them, that's a key rule in finance man...

Advisor to an ICO is a lot different than conducting one
I have helped on countless projects, mostly behind the scenes

Are you part of the WAVES project?

btcd holders at the end of the ICO

right after ICO closes,likely mid november

This guy gets it.

Both posts were spot on.

Thank you for being the first to notice the significance of dPoW
It combines the best aspects of the currently known consensus methods.

PoS for energy efficiency
elected nodes that represent the stakeholders to ensure timely blocks (and also they will automatically stake for all addresses)
and bitcoin PoW for the strongest security possible

the "d" is for delayed. You dont benefit from the bitcoin protection until the corresponding blockhash is notarized and on the bitcoin blockchain. Plus there is alignment delays between the two chains. And expensive txfees will need to be paid for the bitcoin notary tx, they are like supersized multisig tx

In the meantime, a time tested NXT style PoS algo is used by a set of notaries that were elected using a bitshares style voting.

So you can see that I am open to all the best tech ideas across all of crypto.

All of this to secure the best privacy tech known to mankind: zcash zero knowledge proofs

James

Exactly, with 0.00532074 - 25% bounus = 0.004
Current market price.

Suggestion

The btcd price went to 580k sats so its unfair on anyone who bought between swap Price and highest price.

Instead of average you should take the highest price so you are not technically betraying any btcd investors.
