Thanks a lot for your help.Okay so now I have to send that R starting address to claim bounty.Right?
Yes, send the info to komodo.bounty The KMD payment will be made at the same time we distribute the KMD to the ICO investors. |

Aghhh this is so frustrating....Whenever I try to open my BTCD wallet (which I spent several days downloading the blockchain and everything was working) it says it cannot load blkindex.dat
Does anyone have a fix that does not involve redownloading the entire blockchain?
Someone uploaded the BTCD blockchain to dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6xrxbmlk881tasw/AAA0l-p_o6d6L89E0JzrRhmfa?dl=0So Voting is compulsory by default for the first year. what mechanism is in place to make sure there is a large turnout of voters for subsequent years?
The time-frame to vote is 2 weeks, so it will be quite easy not to vote. Even if you don't vote you can get your KMD after the election when everyone gets them. We haven't decided much yet regarding the future elections. I would guess it's kind of impossible to make the voting compulsory. Such a move might also have some negative consequences. Why are GUIs with these related projects so slow and difficult to create? The Iguana wallet is not that simple technically. It has had a full team developing the GUI for some time now, and it takes time to fix all the bugs etc. They have had constant updates throughout the development process. Iguana GUI Updates: https://imgur.com/a/mi6SU Update #13 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.msg16974440#msg16974440 Update #14 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.msg17016577#msg17016577 Update #15 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.msg17118346#msg17118346Satinder developed the Komodo wallet with Z-transactions. That one is working, but requires easy installers. That's why they are now developing/testing the Iguana Desktop app, which will allow the user to one-click install these wallets. It's in internal testing at this moment. |

Please send us your payment information!We still don't have the info of some of you. Follow the instructions in OP to send us your address and payment method. You must send the info to account komodo.bounty. If you have posted your information in this thread or sent to some other account (like KomodoPlatform) you must resend it. Send us your payment infoYou can now let us know how you would like to get paid, and what your payment address is. In case you missed it, we will give you a 25 % bonus if you choose to get paid in Komodo coin KMD! Exchange rate: 1 BTC = 7746,521995 KMD Your exchange rate: 1 BTC = 9683,15249375 KMD So your choice is: - BTC - KMD ( +25 %) What to doSend your info to user ' Komodo.Bounty' - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=926178Subject: your payment method Message: your address Example: Subject: BTC Message: 'Your BTC address'How to get a KMD address- If you haven't already, register a new account in our ICO platform: https://ico.komodoplatform.com/- You will get a seed / passphrase, keep it safe - Then you will see your public KMD address (you may have to relogin) On the ICO site you can verify that your passphrase matches with the public KMD address. As I have opted for kmd payment, I have sent the pm to ' Komodo.Bounty' - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=926178 but didn't get any pm back from him,should i send info again? I was and am bit confused as to which kmd address to be sent?can you please post steb by step screnshots? KMD address starts with an R, see: https://i.imgur.com/KTejhlU.pngMake sure you have saved the passphrase successfully and it matches with the KMD address. See the quote below: How to check you got the right passphrase/seed!-> "check KMD address" -> enter passphrase / seed ---> it returns the public KMD address then it should match with your active KMD address above it Example: In the above picture the KMD addresses don't match, and there's a problem (the seed is incorrect). |

I find it very weird that the ICO gathered so much interest, and now all of a sudden people don't want to buy BTCD at this extreme discount to get KMD? What's going on?
I've spoken to several people who will not buy BTCD specifically because they are unsure about the mechanics of the swap. Wasn't there supposed to have already been a snapshot? If so, BTCD bought now *won't* be swapable. Or is there going to be no snapshot and you'll have to transfer your BTCD somewhere to get KMD? People are uncertain. I'll try to clear out all the uncertainty & misunderstandings We try to swap all BTCD there exist throughout 1 full year. If someone has BTCD it can be swapped, no matter when it is bought. You could buy BTCD 6 months from now and swap it for KMD. BTCD Snapshot to get REVS - The snapshot is not related to BTCD swap. - The snapshot is to get an additional asset called REVS. - The privatekeys are used to redeem the asset. - The snapshot has not happened yet! - to participate the BTCD can be stored either in a BTCD address under your control, or in our ICO site BTCD Swap to get KMD - has nothing to do with the snapshot - is done through the ICO site - lasts 1 full year - swapped BTCD ends up to our account, where it is publicly visible (nothing will happen to the swapped BTCD) - hopefully every single BTCD coin will get swapped during the year Schedule - ICO site accepts BTCD - 7 days after that BTCD snapshot happens & the swapping begins - Elections begin, and last 2 weeks - Elections are over, elected notary nodes will get ratified, KMD will be distributed The conclusionIf you buy BTCD it can be swapped at any time. To also receive the REVS asset you need to have a privatekey that contained BTCD during the snapshot. BTCD swap and snapshot are two separate things. During the year BTCD can be swapped for KMD with the exchange rate we announced: 1 BTCD = 50.448 KMD (However the exchange rate decreases slightly throughout the year because BTCD staking expands the supply) |

Maybe its better to make a spreadsheet with those who not send their info?
How about those that send their details? we will have to wait and theo others to get our payment?
You won't have to wait. We already paid for the first 70 people who submitted the info (and wanted the payment in BTC). We can pay the second batch soon. Ok, i just resend it. i don't see something in my kmd wallet so maybe i remember wrong... oh well, maybe i am too old and my memory playing games.  The KMD payout won't be send out until very close to the actual KMD distribution. |

I'm super jazzed about this project, so please don't take my question as criticism, but genuine curiosity. What you describe is KMD acting as a passthrough coin to secure the privacy of other coins, like BTC. I understand it can also be used directly, but if it does have a big role as a passthrough what gives the coin value in the long term. Will KMD act as fuel or be consumed for doing things in the larger ecosystem?
You will need to buy/hold KMD in many cases, like - BTC private payment - dPoW protection - PAX fiat assets All those create demand for KMD. Of course it can be used as money too. When we offer these services / apps many people will find KMD, and likely they will buy & hold some. We are building a development framework / platform for blockchain applications. Those could / will use KMD to gain certain functionality, like a built in privacy features. For example, we are planning to develop a 'payroll' app that would allow international businesses pay their employees in fiat. Like many things, also this Payroll app would require KMD. The idea is that the business could pay in BTC, and behind the scenes it would be turned into PAX fiat (BTC -> KMD -> PAX fiat). This creates demand for KMD, but it is also possible that at some point the business would start using KMD instead of BTC (to remove one extra hop). At the very least, it is a lot cheaper to send private KMD transactions than it would to send private BTC transactions. While making a private BTC transaction there are many fees to pay & coin conversions to do. These plans are not for the immediate future however. Our first priority is to get the EasyDEX & PAX1 online, then we move to InstantDEX & PAX2, and other things like Pangea, Jumblr, and Payroll app. One of the least understood things however is how PAX works. It could end up being the number one driver for KMD price. Let me explain. If you want to convert your money to any PAX fiat you will have to first buy KMD and then lock that KMD inside PAX. In other words, the more used the PAX fiats are, the more wealth will be locked inside PAX. -> less supply -> more demand However, don't get too excited as the initial PAX1 version will have some limits placed on it. With PAX2 we can remove those limitations as well as allow some advanced features such as shorting. PAX2 will effectively create a decentralized forex market. With PAX1 we will have 40k exposure limit for the first 10 fiats, and 10k limit for the other 22 fiats. That means that, for example, the paxUSD is capped at $40,000 market cap. Here were the main points I could think of right now. If anyone wants to help KMD price, maybe they could join our Slack and start developing some other killer app with the help of our platform  |

this is to confirm that i already receive my payment! thank you very much Komodo! God bless us more and wishing you success in this project  when you paid? I do not get We sent out the first payment batch, it included everyone who had given us their BTC address like instructed in OP The second payment batch will be sent out as soon as I receive the info, maybe today or tomorrow. |

There was a question in the BTCD thread, so I though I should post it here also as there might be new info to some!
Can you tell me more about the new Komodo technology
Sure! I'll explain the privacy side, which should be the most interesting part for BTCD investors. We concluded that Zcash's privacy technology is superior to any other solution, even to our own (teleport/telepathy technology). As we needed the best technology for our platform we decided to fork Zcash. However, making a fork is not really that exciting, but rather the way we use the technology in our own platform. Privacy for other cryptocurrenciesWe can make bitcoin (or any other coin) private transactions a reality. However, doing that requires the other technologies SuperNET has been building, mainly Iguana. In short, Iguana allows blockchains to talk to each other which allowed us to develop an atomic cross-chain protocol (see our whitepaper). We can destroy bitcoin's transaction track record the following way: BTC -> KMD -> KMD Z-Tx -> BTC The whole process will be automaticed: 1. BTC is exchanged to KMD through our decentralized exchange 2. The KMD is sent to a new KMD address through a Z-transaction (the anonymous transaction) 3. KMD is exchanged back to BTC Any user could manually do that, however we can make it automatic through an app called Jumblr. Thus a user could simply use our BTC wallet which could have a "Private payment" button. The end user would only have to insert the BTC address where he wants to send his bitcoins to, and then the the whole process would happen behind the scenes. Anonymous fiat transactionsWe also have a thing called 'assetchains', which basically allow anyone to create new Zcash forks in seconds. Those forks are compatible to our other services, such as DEX. We have already created 32 special coins, which we developed a bit further. These are called PAX fiat assets, and their value is tied to local currencies (USD, EUR,...). Because they are Zcash forks we can actually do the same anonymous transactions with them. We believe our way to tie the coin to fiat value is superior to the other current solutions. The anonymous transactions are really a cherry on the top. Of course these too are compatible to our other services, so you could store them in the same place you store your BTC (our Iguana wallet). More infoI recommend to start with these three articles: Where Hope Lies for Privacy, Anonymity, and Fungibility in CryptocurrencyKomodo’s dPoW Provides Double-Layered Security and Cuts CostsKomodo: the Native Currency of the SuperNET EcosystemThanks for the question! |

What are you guys doing to stay relevant during the times of xmr and zcash? This aint 2014 anymore.
Just wondering.

To be honest I got 0.777 invested in this and Im quite worried right now because there is really no sign on to when I could get this coin or atleast a fixed ETA of the launched. I wonder why people could stay calm though, not trying to FUD and this is really just my 2 cents
We are waiting for the ICO site get finished, so it will support BTCD swap + snapshot. After it is finished we will announce the exact schedule for elections and KMD distribution. The dev is making progress everyday. We cannot promise anything regarding the exchanges. If the situation changes will will make an announcement. |

KomodoPlatform or should already have a kmd bounty balance on platform ico?
My KMD Balance: 0
No, we will send the KMD coins much later (around the time we distribute all the KMD to the investors). Hi OP, since the ICO has ended and the campaign was success. Out of curiosity, when will KMD be listed on exchanges site?
We cannot promise when the exchanges will list us. If the situation changes we will make an announcement. |

honestly. idk what's going on with my post count.
ALL SPREADSHEETS HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT MY POST COUNT.
I started having 61 posts and when campaign ended i had around 99 posts.
I assume you have filled the appeal form. Send your payment info to komodo.bounty. The campaign manager said he prioritizes appeals that have also submitted their address. when komodo bounty balance will be displayed on ico account?
ps. how will mining komogo? cpu? gpu? asics? Roll Eyes
Around the same time we distribute the KMD. Mining is done by notary nodes (they can mine with an easier difficulty), but also normal nodes can mine (however it is probably not economical) Hi I would like to get paid half in btc and half in KMD.
Which means if I am eligible for 0.1 btc payment,can I ask for 0.05 in btc and 0.05 in KMD? will I still get kmd bonus if I go for half-half option?
Let's not make this overly complicated. If you want to also get some KMD you could buy some BTCD from Poloniex and then swap it for KMD; or then you can buy KMD directly after we launch. |

can't find the post from "Komodoplattform"
..what will i have to do if i want my payment in KMD ?
Thanks
The instructions are in the OP. You must send a message to komodo.bounty (see the OP for instructions) |

I wanted to know if there will be an updated spreadsheet showing the updated changes? I see some have gotten their Btc payment I choose kmd just wanting to know will the people that choose kmd will be updated with totals
What do you mean? If you choose KMD we will multiply your final bounty by 1.25 (25%). If the sheet says you get 0.1 BTC, then by choosing KMD as the payment method you will get 0.125 BTC worth of KMD. Ok so maybe I didn't explain that right my total was not actually correct it didn't take into account the avatar bonus which is 25% that's what I was talking about updating spreadsheet I get that if I take kmd you guys will just add the extra 25% which is fine but if my total didn't include avatar bonus then I don't know what my total is The avatar changes should be included. The manager told me he made the changes some days ago, and the third tab has the info (named: 'sheet4'). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nkrQDR8s7AI2AEgamz1bPlGhI_47lIY65LDOc6t5nd0/edit#gid=1594819343The final amount should be correct. |
