KMD has not been distributed yet,  so it is not on exchange.  Currently  final tests are being done on the ICO site for the BTCD swap.

Komodo is a proof-of-work coin  using Equihash algorithm.    However built into Komodo is a 5% APR mechanism based on unspent tx outputs.  What this means is that from the time the coins enter your wallet they will be accruing interest up to 5% a year.   To claim this interest payment,  you have to send a transaction out.   This transaction can be to YOUR OWN ADDRESS.  
You can claim this interest  multiple times throughout the year and obtain a compounding effect.

To get into KMD now since the ICO is over  you can  buy BTCD to swap for KMD  at a rate of approximately  1BTCD ~ 50.44 KMD.    This is an amazing bargain considering the price of BTCD, however order books are thin, so large purchases of BTCD may drive the price up significantly.

BTCD swap is estimated to happen in a week or so

When everything is ready we will make an announcement here   as well as  on various other channels  like Twitter and FB as well as in our newsletter.

BTCD was originally to be the backbone coin of the SuperNET ecosystem,  however it was decided to create a new coin  by forking Zcash thereby creating Komodo.   In fairness to the BTCD investors who were backing the project for years a swap rate based on an average monthly high was devised and BTCD was pegged to that,    Revshare promised to BTCD holders would passthrough to Komodo  and an additional bonus based on BTC raised was to be added to final swap price.

Who this system favored more was based on the amount raised in the ICO.    If the amount of BTC raised during the ICO was greater than BTCD's market cap,  then BTC would have been the better way to invest.   Since the amount raised though was substantially less than BTCD's market cap ,  BTCD is the better option to invest.


KEEP IN MIND:    There is approximately  1% of the BTCD supply available for sale  under the Komodo swap rate with a value of approximately 60BTC.   Even if someone bought all that was available on the market they still would have less than 1% of the KMD coin supply.   The available BTCD on exchanges is great for smaller investors and also allows people who missed the ICO to participate.    In no way though can the available BTCD on market provide someone who did not already invest during/pre-ICO   a substantial amount of coins.

It will also be interesting to see how much that is listed for sale now gets pulled when the BTCD swap is ready.

Most of the BTCD we expect to be swapped  shortly after the BTCD swap is live,   there will be no problem in keeping the blockchain up and running as no new development will be done on it. basically as long as people are running the qt  it will be live.

You are more than welcome to help test.  We have been posting the github for it all throughout the ICO.   But if you need a granny-version  then you are going to have to wait a bit more. 

Here is a piece I wrote earlier on the subject:

Its been available to use for months.  How do you think people have been running a testnet  ?     

https://github.com/SuperNETorg/komodo/wiki/Setup-Komodo-Notary-Node

Technically Iguana GUI is out already in semi-closed beta fashion still a lot of things to be done, just recently a possible security flaw similar to that was found in another html wallet that potentially could have effected us the same way ( XSS vulnerability) was discovered and patched by our head of security, ca333 and our iguana gui dev, boogieman.   You can build and compile it but it is not production ready.      Iguana and Komodo cli for Linux  have been operational for quite sometime, several months for komodo-cli and even longer for Iguana.


Here is the github if you are interested in using Iguana

When the electron html wallet is  ready and  "granny-proof".   Trust me, you'll hear about it

Exchange listings are up to the exchange, however I can say it will be after wallet release and KMD distribution.

If you would like to get in KMD,  BTCD is the way to go as of this time,   anything under .00651 is a bargain.

BTCD for whatever reason has always been tied more with fiat than bitcoin. In terms of fiat gains,  BTCD has over tripled in less than a year even BTC gains even at this low level are at least 33%.   Currently there is 63 BTC under ICO value on poloniex and  1.82 BTC worth on bittrex the two biggest exchanges for BTCD trade.   This is down from 150 BTC just a couple weeks ago.    At this time as you are probably aware bitcoin is doing quite a nice rise.   It is not unreasonable to think that some traders will choose to take profits,  especially before the end of this tax season.  

I'm hodling,  and buying like you are,   and I suspect there are many who are.  

Some developers have been hired.   Fadeddreamz and Kolo .    But the majority of the ICO funds raised are for long term  group signed message transactions and tx fees.    BTC tx fees which are minimal now   may not be so in the future.   If you look at it in fiat terms  the cost of tx fees has gone up 1000+%    just due to the nature of Bitcoin's value raising.  If bitcoin continues its trajectory, the next 10 years then it could be a dollar or more per tx fee.   BTC stored now eliminates having to get it later on which could be a big drain on the system.  

I understand your paranoia and distrust,   but please join our Slack channel and you can see for yourself the progress that is being made.   The goal is to release a "granny-proof" product.  Meaning that not only is the UX flawless  but intuitive.    One of the major obstacles to get new users into the crypto space is the technical savvy you need to even do basic functions.   Most of this has been circumvented by users who are interested  to use third-parties.   The recent string of hacks/thefts   shows the danger of users taking this approach.   Iguana and EasyDEX aim at being a solution to this problem  by being an easy way people can hold and trade their coins without a third party all with a simple double click install across all OS's.   This is an ambitious endeavor  but the hard part is done.

Usable products are not far off, the culmination of over 2 years of daily coding  that lays the foundation for entrepreneurs, developers and users to have easy access to blockchain technology.

SuperNET  has only begun.   The next couple months will blow your mind.

Yes,  at the current time  BTCD is a better swap,   however  this will not always be case.   

2 reasons

1)  The amount of BTCD available for sale will eventually reach parity with swap price.  People who are wanting to get more Komodo will buy BTCD and swap this will drive the price up to what people are willing to swap it for.   There is only 100 BTC or so available on polo under swap price  which isn't much.

2) End of 2017 you won't be able to swap BTCD anymore.
Due to this, the holders of BTCD on exchanges will want to exchange their coin at some point during the year, consequently  supply dwindles and price reaches parity.

BTCD swap to Komodo will continue throughout 2017.   The snapshot will be approximately one week after ico site acceptance. This is for REVS asset,   an additional asset to compensate for the revshare that was promised to BTCD holders.  This is SEPARATE from swapping BTCD to Komodo.

so no darcrus, if 1000 btc isn't reached?   what will happen to sigwonet and sigfarm then?

We are currently working on a way to accept BTCD on the ICO site,  the snapshot will be soon after that.  You didn't miss it.

you are correct.

Throwing my hat into the ring for the upcoming Komodo Notary Node Election.

About Me:

Hello, I’m polycryptoblog, Administrative Assistant at Komodo and long-time SuperNET supporter.

I believe that I would make a good notary node due to my dedication to the project for several years as well as running a notary node on the testnet for the past month.
In addition, I am working with my service provider to maintain a secure and stable server to add structure to the Komodo network.
You should vote for me in this election due to my position on how notary mining rewards should be spent.  100% of Komodo generated in excess of server maintenance costs will be reinvested into developing initiatives to further aid the growth and expansion of our young network.

Region: North America
Subsidy Requested:  50%
Testnet KMD mined: 5377

[/b]

Approximately  2700 a month if there are 48 notary nodes,  that number doesn't factor in non-notarynode miners, so it will probably be lower than that.

Komodo uses the same zkSNARK parameters as Zcash.  We have not generated them, we are using what the Zcash team has created.   Genesis Block creation  is different than zkSNARK creation.     

As of this time we have no reason to doubt that the Zcash team performed its parameter generation without collusion towards the end of "creating money out of thin air".    What people seem to forget is that the Zcash team is a legitimate company and many who are on their team are well-respected professionals.  If collusion did happen between the participants of the parameter generating ceremony, the company would be in a hell of a lot of legal trouble  not to mention many of the individuals careers would be over.   The consequences of being caught combined with the limited amounts of gains from collusion  ( only profitable if amount of transparent coins is under the amount of coin supply ) makes the likelihood of the toxic waste having been reassembled very minuscule.

In addition the extensive "ceremony" used in parameter generation makes it very unlikely that an outside party would have compromised them.


As to why we do not generate our own parameters and have our own ceremony

1)  We could not accomplish the same degree of security and procedure that the Zcash team had for the ceremony.
2)  Having our own ceremony would do nothing to alleviate the constant FUD surrounding the infintismal likelihood of the "toxic waste" being reassembled, and would in fact just bring in more illegitimate criticisms because we would not have done an extensive ceremony as Zcash did or rumors that the Komodo team was somehow colluding.

By using their parameters we rid ourselves of that headache.

As it stands right now, Komodo will do its best to launch in 2 weeks  and all appears to be on track for that,  if some issue arises that we have to delay  we will  however  we will not delay for no reason.
