Topic: What do you all think of Komodo? (Read 3557 times)

Haha, 3 shitcoins guaranteed to dump on you!
Nice link, yeah I better run to get in on that shit.

Komodo is ranked #1 Coin to watch for the upcoming week!

never heard of such a project. but I always listen to what people discuss on BTT and I will definitely study this project. maybe even add to the portfolio if I will like it

I dont heared about Komodo a long time. Last what i heared - Komodo has own blockchain and not bad price. I heared that they have very professional team and a lot time I heared that komodo team a good and professional developers.

Do share what makes Paragon great?

Komodo looks fine, i have been looking at it since days. What seems finer is Paragon, it's gonna leave others behind very soon.

IMO the Komodo Discord is quite active and they're very responsive to enquiries

10  Hype new jl777 ICO
20  Launch ICO
20  Pump
30  Dump
40  Buy jl777 Ritalin
50  Watch jl777 code
60  Watch jl777 run out of Ritalin
70  GOTO 10

certainly right - just couldn't resist. did'nt want to put too much time into it- a bit of a pity coz icebreaker is kind of cute ploughing through the altcoin threads, and mostly he is not that far off- which aint that difficult because there are lots of scams going on indeed.

of course he doesnt always get it right-
I have personally done several hundred builds of the Supernet code, beginning in September 2014 with the first commits jl777 made, until recently the Komodo (BTCD2.0) notary node with Iguana (which is still at core the first SuperNET commit from 2+ years ago)

I also wrote a unit testing suite in python about 15 months back that tested about 60 or 70 of the API calls

Of course, this forum being a toxic bilge where all sorts of gigeresque critters lurk, I don't take these drive-by hysterics too seriously
    

Don't feed the trolls! 

poor morons - ran out of Ritalin again?

THIS x 1,000,000.

jl777 has abandoned between 30-40 projects (mostly NXT assets)...
And has never delivered anything that works... he could not even keep a retarded dice site working.

But this Scammer Group is expert at market manipulation...
So they manage to keep coins trading until the next Scam Rollout.

Anybody investing in KMD needs a brain transplant.

This 100%
do not touch!

Kodomo is yet another jl777 scam.

He's started and abandoned dozens of them already.

Kodomo is an attempt to wring more money out of the gullible BitcoinDark and SuperNET buying types.

 I do agreed with you pal, aside from that they are more prepared to hype people for them to earn so fast. Though at least the price is that bad actually. But still let see what's next to be going to happen.

You and I both have chronic health issues that sometimes render us semi-conscious. Don't worry I have much intimate experience with the effect. Frustrating for us both.

W0w epic reading comprehension fail on my part! I have my step mom on the phone for the last 45 minutes and completely mis-read your post! Lol, she's still blabbering away.

Where did I write that I verified anything w.r.t. to Komodo?

I only said that I discussed with @jl777 the concept of how to design checkpoints in the Bitcoin blockchain for security.

How can you possibly verify an implementation without verifying the code???

Did you mean verifying the integrity of the concept?

Zcash is potentially attackable by botnets and rented hashrate attacks. Presumably Komodo is not!

I am not vouching for @jl777's implementation of the concept. Haven't had time to check his code.

Peter Sztorc published before I had those discussions with @jl777.

Yes, BTCD can be swapped for Komodo after the ICO has closed.

Aren't they collecting BTC and swapping coins from another crypto? I think I'll wait until launch to see the price is close to ICO.

And so this is a nice joke. He can be on the CMC if the ico are already finished and the distribution of comodo coin already does by the dev. but the ICO are in some last time for getting more funding(2410 BTC RAISED!!!!).

Some of the developers are not anonymous!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxZswQWGLVg

Btw, the Delayed Proof-of-Work feature I conceptually designed in collaboration with @jl777:


I was the one who suggested and explained how to use the Bitcoin proof-of-work to record checkpoints.

I can't remember with 100% certainty if it was James' idea and then I was the one to explain how to do it correctly, or if it was my idea entirely. But it seems like he was going to do proof-of-stake, then I think I tried to convince him to put checkpoints in the Bitcoin blockchain, and then the discussion proceeded into what dPoW (Delayed PoW) became.

I know originally he was going to go with Proof-of-stake and I talked him out of it.

So more or less, it is my idea and conceptual design (but his design on all the details), but I can't vouch for the details of what he did, because I haven't been following it. He worked out the  implementation details of what we discussed, as I was only involved in the conceptual discussion. I did this because I felt I owed him my help and we enjoyed discussing design concepts. I also benefited from this.

Btw, I have a highly trusted witness who can verify this claim if ever need be. But I don't think that is necessary.

That's funny how people are venerating Monero while it is not that appealing. Price would be higher if all your promises were true ...

How can they already be on CMC if the ICO is still ongoing? 

Well other than signature campaign about it nothing much per say. It does not even feature in top 100 currency market cap wise.

Certainly ask them do they see themselves in top 100 in coming time or will the value reaches near zero before reaching top 100?

https://coinmarketcap.com/

Hes  definitely trolling  for sure. Why does he need  to compare  it to bitcoin  or  on  xmr? Komodo  is its  name  and   for sure there are  some feature that are not  present to those  two but  generalizng all cryptos  they are   just the same.  Komodo  would have  a good  potential though.

Why take my word for it when you can ask this guy.

You guys are arguing about James' technological accomplishments. He has a Github. Go there and see for yourself. Frankly, I have never looked at his code much.

Note marketing communication is also critically important:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16717137

Please providing link to a working and useful Supernet to download, the decentralized exchange. If you don't have one please shut your butthole, but if you do have one I can test it out and let you know.
I still stand, all his works are useless and not working at this point included bitcoindark. The simple logic, there is no point to create and promise another crap like Komoto beside scam and make himself more richer. End of my reply about this serial scammer.

The thing is. You have zero links to zero evidence. I have watched his projects for a few years now and asked hard questions. I am perfectly satisfied with his track record and working software. And if you weren't actually trolling and making shit up I'd provide you with some links.

Props.  That's exactly it, except I would delete the above statement about XMR. 

If it's not bitcoin, it's a shitcoin.  Pretty much.  There are about two other altcoins that I think are going to make it (who knows, Monero might be one), but Komodo?  Who the fuck knows?  I see it's being hyped with the signature campaigners, but shitcoins have turned out to be scams that way before.  Remember Candlecoin and some of those ultra-shitty ones?  Total BS coins. 

Don't know anything about Komodo, but I wouldn't touch it with your ten-foot pole.

Do you know this jl77777 guy is working on 20+ projects right now and none is useful or working? This one is no different. He have made millions from moron like you. Chance those 2,000BTC wall at Komoto ICO right now is just his free BTC throwing arounds.

I am not entirely closing the door on working with James on his project, but to be frank my passion is on my project to foster an entire crypto ecostem, not just anonymity.

Note I suspect James will probably end up talking about more than just anonymity for Komodo. I think (based on knowing him through many discussions) he will probably tie in what he was attempting to do with SuperNet at some point in the near future. And I know he was enamored with Steemit, so you can probably expect him to throw his hat in that arena as well. Nevertheless, I am nearly certain he can't compete with me on making a better Steemit. Who knows maybe we end up making two projects work together, but that is usually technically difficult (we've discussed such in the past).

I don't think James is a scammer in the sense that I don't think he thinks he is. I think he thinks he is very sincere about accumulating capital to do important work in crypto. He comes from finance apparently and thus apparently believes in raising a lot of funds. I think he shocked everyone when he raised 1500 BTC for the SuperNet back when BTC was closer to $1000 before ETH did their $18 million raise.

Yet I must agree that the anonymous developer aspect, the lack of a visual team doing promotional videos and a conferences (a la Ethereum) to nourish fanboys, doesn't seem congruent with raising $20 million and driving a $billion market cap.

If I ended up working with James on this project, it would mean putting my public reputation on the line and not even being a major party to the BTC raised. I think that would be unfair to myself, but then again money talks in some respect, so it is possible I could be lured with sufficient compensation.

But honestly, I rather go complete my project. And I can say I would not attempt to raise $20 million and I will be a public speaker on my project. And I do believe my project which will attempt to do what Steem attempted but do it correctly. @smooth and I both seem to think a social network market cap wouldn't necessarily be limited to $10 billion or even $100 billion. Even a $trillion is plausible. But getting there is about ecosystem network effects and Metcalf's Law. Review my latest comments in the "Steem is a pyramid scheme" thread. Nobody can say for sure what the outcome will be. I will just say if I get healthy enough, I am going to try to be the first to create a very serious altcoin ecosystem.

So I know which one I will be investing in. But if Komodo would commit to capping the raise at 5,000 or 10,000 BTC and does something about the anonymity of the developers and entire company, then I'd probably suggest buying some morsels of it. At 30,000 BTC, sorry no! I think someone should feedback to them.

My problem right now is I must go first to Singapore to get diagnosed and treated for a 4 year chronic health problem in my intestine which screws up my energy level for cognition, which has greatly retarded my productivity. I had been waiting for that shit to abate but it never did. As for today, I am fully funded for the Singapore medical trip. Also I attained a 30 hour work day yesterday without health problem yesterday (maybe due to the recent change I made in diet and adding deep squats barbell to my exercise regimen), but my history has been always to relapse so I don't count that as a cure. If it sounds weird that I can do squats yet am too sick to think clearly much of the time, that is just name of the intestinal illness. I really struggle for energy to even do the barbell workout but I am fighter, so I fight wearily. Any way, yesterday felt totally normal. My production yesterday is here:

I did make one video on Ethereum when I was feeling not so energetic, so you can sort of get a feel for myself as a public speaker but note I was suffering from my illness when I made this:

Amazing quote of myself in dealer_hedging @ 7min, "all insurance is a way of converting risk of gain, into a guaranteed loss!". Wow. Good job Shelby. You were smart before.

(Uggh my brain was so much more energetic in 2007! Oh it is sad to listen to myself before I got ill, huhuhu)

So you can sort of visualize the value of having a non-anonymous public speaker on a project. You can contrast my style and appearance to Vitalik:

Some little girls actually color better than little boys, did you know that?

Hmm, for someone who has the word writer in title of name, you sure are shit at it.

Most of your posts are a bunch of one liners no substance and zero research, which makes you look more like a basement kiddie. Hell you can't even get jl777's name right.

And fuck your service. No one wants to use services from trolls.

Yes, no name developer.
jl777777 is a well known serial scammer.
Logo look like it created by an 8 year old little girl.

I'm not saying this is a good coin, it's most likely shit buuut..
You clearly have no idea what your talking about..

You are totally correct dude! Actually, in my assessment there will be no difference for what happen to psb in komodo. Perhaps Komodo will also do the same thing for what psb did after the ICO.

Yeah, sometimes if we give a lot of information that we know about something it can be considered as their spokesman. So it became one of those things that can give something a bad effect for us or as a sign that the information we provide is not useful. Indeed better response to them in order to be able to find it on google

I am going to stop responding after this, because I am not the spokesman for their project.

There is a huge (financial only?) report on the SuperNet, but I don't have a link handy. Hopefully you can find it with Google or someone else can provide the link.

Is it Bitcoin?
Is its symbol XMR?

If you answered no to the above questions, then it's a shitcoin. You can use this template to determine the legitimacy of any other altcoin on the market, too.

Is there a single, central report for all of Jl777's previous projects ? Would really like to read it and then make a judgement

I really don't know this is a real non-starter for me in so many ways it's not even funny.

Somewhat but not exactly. I can vouch that James has learned a lot, because I used to not even be able to understand him when we would have technical discussions. And then after much arduous discussion, he began to make technical sense and our discussions were very smooth and technically interesting. But does he have the ability to pull off a major marketcap coin? Who are in his team?

Surely you need to go ask questions on their ANN thread.

As I remember, the backend blockchain and crypto is all in C. He is compiling C to JavaScript, so you get the reliability and nearly the speed of C.

The GUI might be coded in JavaScript, but that shouldn't be an issue.


Good point. Don't they have a thread in ANN to ask questions about the secure setup?

Agreed.

 For me komodo will be just the same as waves before they are running a campaign but i think it will not be the same as other altcoin in top 20 coins.. this is just what i think because the adoption we are needed is more stores that can accept altcoin  or any sites that can accept altcoin..

https://komodoplatform.com/ Requires JS, big red flag for me.

So who do we have to trust in this Komodo setup? 6 anon guys in a room for genesis creation? Sounds appealing where do I send all my money?

smooth is not doing any ICOs, so comparing is irrelevant.
Most if not all big ICOs have main guy or whole team identified. At the end of day, they will get a salary from ICO, so crowdfunding participants should know who they will pay.

From what I've understood, Komodo is the mix of all its previous projects, and that's what makes it a good thing to my eyes.

What about all his other projects? are they all tied into this?

Nobody knows @smooth's identity either, yet he has a very high reputation and is obviously technically skilled. I would estimate @smooth is more technically skilled overall than James, but James is always coding methodically (for example @smooth is a polyglot of programming languages as am I).

I know James is passionate about anonymity and he really latched onto Zcash when we discussed all the various ways of doing anonymity and I think I convinced him that Zcash was the most anonymous technology because the mix set is every coin.

I think he is committed to it. What you have to ask yourself is if he has the necessary resources and can he manage it. And does he have the marketing people to pull it all together.

If the marketcap is small enough in terms of the ICO then one would think it should have very good upside if those other factors are handled well.

It looks to me that we are heading into another ATHs scenario for Bitcoin by first half of next year, so it appears to me that $100 million market cap altcoins are going to become the norm. Monero is almost there. The Chinese speculators are also coming.

If they do raise all 30,000 BTC that would be sort of high at $20+ million marketcap, given Monero is only at $80 million. Also remember marketcap is always much greater than actual money invested (or extracted) due to the wealth effect, so $20 million seems high to me, but Waves and Lisk apparently raised half that much combined.

I was thinking more of a cap at 10,000 BTC, which I think I mentioned to him. I do think 30,000 BTC raise is too high for my risk/reward preferences.

Then again maybe we are about to blow doors off with crypto and Bitcoin to new ATHs, so maybe we move into a new realm of $billion market caps for top 10 altcoins. I think that actually may happen, because we are heading into the thick of the Sovereign Debt Crisis 2017 to 2020. Yet still I wouldn't buy into a $20 million market cap with anonymous developers. At least Ethereum with its $18 million raise had Vitalik speaking publicly as driver of its marketing. Yet $18 million nearly three years ago is not the same as $18 million now.

See my blog today for more details on likely Bitcoin breakout and general macroeconomic environment:

Actually @jl777 offered the GUI development role to me and I didn't take it back in I guess June. I will think about it. I am juggling several things right now and trying to choose best priorities. It wasn't because I don't believe in his project, but just because I am very excited about what I am working on (combined with a health issue priority).

I would say that if anyone is a good, non-anonymous developer that can be relied on, they should consider contacting @jl777. But @jl777 has been scammed in the past by devs who didn't do what they said they were going to do, so please don't contact him if you aren't professional.

@jl777 is not a no name. I am @anonymint and I personally communicate with him and was aware this project was coming. I am not anonymous. Go to my Steemit account for my photos and LinkedIn.

You can see he was having technical interactions with the Zcash team on their Github.

James is exclusively a C programmer. He is good enough C programmer, productive, and sincere about the work he does.

That doesn't necessarily mean he completes every project on time, or that he has good judgement about features or marketing. He had accomplished some major projects in the Nxt ecosystem, and some of those remained half-baked (and still being worked on) such as Bitcoin Dark (which is apparently transitioning to Komodo so he can fulfill his obligation to BTCD investors).

My understanding is there are others helping him on the marketing this time. And I would presume also others advising him on feature set.

James is not a good GUI programmer, so make sure he has someone on his team who is good at that.

I can't vouch for the quality of this project, because I have not been tracking it. But I can vouch that @jl777 is a legit programmer. He is serious and coding every day without fail (know this because I was chatting with him daily about programming during some periods in the past, not lately). I have had numerous technical discussions with him in private chat.

Apparently nobody knows his identity. And @DecentralizedEconomics is incorrect to claim he once ran for mayor of San Diego. James comes from financial background where he was a programmer. That is all I know about him.

I was aware months ago he was going with the name Komodo.


The speculators I know have gained wealth in BTC by buying ICOs and holding for the 10X gain. You've got to select the quality projects that will have follow through, have experienced marketing, and have some whales who are accumulating. @jl777 knows some of these people. Again I can't vouch for the future success of this speculation.


I am not currently vested in Komodo, except if you can consider my relationship with @jl777 as a conflict of interest or form of vestment. I have no funds to make a highly speculative long-term (i.e. > 3 months) payoff investment at this time.

Note I would prefer if @jl777 had another quality developer on his team. (Edit: I see some other anonymous devs are listed, but afaics we don't know who they are or what work they have done in the past)

I just wanna say if this project will having the future like PSB coins. well just watching for later and I think it's will happened big pumping on the first day.... Looks similarly like PSB...

Besides great tech, my advice is to follow the money. Already 1.5m$ invested, if the project leader put that money to good use, it can be a great success. Don't invest in shitcoins, this is the real thing!

FYI: http://bitcoinist.net/komodo-first-day-ico/

Looks alright to me aside from the sketchy no name developers?
