Howdy! Since everyone is posting their pitch for the elections here, we (TheGaltMines) will do so as well.

(Same post with mixed media embded http://www.thegaltmines.io/index.php/why-vote-for-us/ turns out you need accounts with more maturity to embed content )

The first thing to know about us, is that we are not new to this, we've ran a Notary node in the NA sector for a full year now while being one of the top 10 nodes in Notarization ranking. We know how to do this.

We are also public about who we are to show we are not a fly by night team, and are willing and ready to make Komodo our top priority. Here's our team.

https://imgur.com/UOmRgDW

I've personally been involved in Komodo, and Supernet before that since about 2014 and had a significant role educating people about the early vision of this project which is now taking serious shape. This includes writing multiple articles about the Supernet ecosystem and atomic swaps as a journalist, and later on writing various pages of the old Wikipedia for Supernet.

Since last year, every video I make has a Komodo ad on it which you can see at the end of videos like this one, It is usually at the beginning of my content, but this one is all about Komodo so it made since to end with it.

You can find my work on facebook.com/juansgalt (gets a lot move views then youtube these days) or youtube at juansgalt.com/youtube


https://www.facebook.com/juansgalt/videos/1922442438066652/


Here's some of the brand awareness I've gotten for Komodo over the past year, as well as total views since I could calculate for my content as a public speaker and content creator, since 2017.

https://i.imgur.com/wQFcFPI.jpg

One of the things we want to do for Komodo this year is creating a private fund for Komodo projects and services we like to call Shenlong's Den.

The idea is simple. You have a project, you propose it to us and make an ask for funding, we analyze it and decide whether or not and how to deliver capital to your project.

The 3 of us at The Galt Mines make final decisions on funding, which I believe will help bring more accountability to blockchain funding of community services then has been seen in other projects like DASH or Pivx.



This year we want to take responsibility three new Notary nodes, looking to bring our experience and time to this ecosystem full time if the community wants us to do so.

Here's the locations we have in mind and the hardware specs we are currently working with.



Last but not least we take very seriously the disruptive potential of Komodo, both as a way to bring zcash grade anonymity to other coins thru barterdex, but also as a way to have them benefit from Bitcoin's security while making their own core development decisions, as blockchains in their own right. This is the great innovation behind the notary system which from my 4+ years of experience in this market is very unique.

And of course atomic swap non-custodial exchange. What else needs to be said? Komodo has serious potential.

With that in mind we are looking to create a space to discuss legal defense strategies starting with the way North American institutions might look at Komodo, but also, ideally exploring how we stand in legal terms worldwide.

We believe it will be important to pay attention to this side of things in the coming years and starting this conversation now with the right people will allow us to be prepared and not surprised if legal attacks do come.

I'll leave you with our mission statement as well as our website, where we can find all us, contact us and keep up to date with what we are up to.

Also you might want to check out this Q&A I did with Audo, Komodo community manager and marketing strategist.

Next video will be a visual guide on how to vote on this elections, start installing your agama client now if you havn't already. : )

Hey! You know, I don't think that presentation has been uploaded yet. There is video, but the audio was not recorded from the microphone. That was during the first Anarchapulco.

So I can try and I would actually love to have it. But not sure it is still around and I don't think it ever made it online.

What you are thinking about is my DASH presentation on Anarchapulco 2016 which was the second one,

That one is on my youtube channel here. Smiley

Hey everyone.

I'm Juan S. Galt and I want to run to be a Komodo Notary host. Here's why I think my team  and I can do a great job at this.

As a crypto currency journalist and researcher, I am early adopter of Supernet and Bitcoindark's tokens and ambitions. I immersed my self in the vision of Supernet and its  plan of action and explained it to thousands of people through a series of articles and a video interview on the matter.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/supernets-decentralized-exchange-aims-to-put-an-end-to-bitcoin-bank-heists

https://cointelegraph.com/news/fibrecoin-leaves-blocknet-joins-supernet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JT7P9P7kig

I also represented Supernet during the first in Anarchapulco 2016.

Long story short I have a good grasp of Supernet's big picture plan and have been and remain a strong advocate of it's goals. Most important of all in my mind, a decentralized, anonymous and professional crypto currency exchange.

Komodo being the infrastructure ontop of which much if Supernet's vision will be built, means that I am very interested in supporting it.

I believe I can be an active and engaged ambassador to Komodo and Supernet.

I also have a team of two very experienced engineers, one taking care of hosting, securing the hardware and online up time,  and the other putting together the server and maintaining the software, security and updates.

Here are their credentials among other specs:

Ryan Herbison - Network Technician/System Administrator

- Owned computer store from 2000-2006 familiar with x86 Hardware

- System Administrator for ISP in Northern British Columbia for the last ten years 2006-2016.

- Maintained dozen linux servers including mail, mysql, websites, accounting systems, management systems, network monitoring, nagios etc.

- Managed Fiber network, Microwave Radio Systems, ADSL Hardware, and Dialup Service.

- Basic programming skills can troubleshoot most problems

- Familiarity with most network protocols, bind, ospf, bgp etc

- Escaped the long winters and now lives in Acapulco, Mexico where he continues to build ISP infrastructure



Travis Boyd - Hardware and Software Guy

- Owns and operates Wireless ISP in Oregon

- Starting ISP Venture in Chile

- Maintains linux servers, network adminstrator.

- Builds wireless communication links

- Maintains business and residential customer infrastructure

- In operation for the past 10 years.

Hey James,  
maybe you can give us a statement to thefollowing.

There are dozends of projects and icos from you. jl777, nxtventure, supernet, etc etc

Almost none of your projects is anywhere near finished. The recent project Iguana is not finished.

Now you start the next project and the next ico.

Looks like there is some systematic behind this.

So maybe you can tell us, if you will ever finish a project?
While I have done many projects, I think "dozens" is an exaggeration. Similarily your statement about no projects finished is a bit harsh.

jl777hodl is a holding fund for various crypto projects. As such it has been finished for years. It was the first asset that started trading and made history, this was something like 2 years ago. I would consider this finished.

MGW is multigateway.com and that also has been finished and in service for over a year. Since it is working and being used for over a year, I would consider that finished.

NXTventure is another one that has been finished for over a year. It has paid out in dividends more than I think any other NXT asset by value of dividends at the time it was sent out. Again, the future of NXTventure is hampered by all the changes with NXT that is out of my control, however I would consider NXTventure was completed.

SuperNET is a hybrid holding vehicle and technology incubator. At least that is one way to look at it. http://www.supernet.org/nav.php shows its current holdings and despite being hit by a 75% reduction in its NAV the first year (mostly due to NXT price decline and my not actively trading), the NAV has more than doubled to within striking distance of the original. This is achieved while paying for all the costs to run SuperNET out of the investment gains. Now what other project self-funds from investment gains that it makes?

I have issued more than a dozen proxy assets, such as mgwBTC and superBTC. These asset's function is to represent 1:1 the BTC to allow using the NXT AE to trade them via blockchain. I did this 2 years ago and I am pretty sure it was the first tokenDEX that allowed trading of crypto against crypto. This is 2 years ago, when just now we finally see other solutions of this kind appearing. I would consider these assets completed.

Iguana is a bitcoin daemon and wallet that can sync the entire BTC blockchain from scratch in 2 hours. It also can sync over a dozen other coins, all from a self-contained codebase that I wrote from scratch. Its codesize is about 3MB and it has been ported from unix to osx, win32, win64, android and chrome app. docs.supernet.org documents its API bindings and it is now in the final stages of debug and will be used as a component within komodo. I have seen some GUI that is looking pretty good and for basic wallet function and parallel sync it appears to be working, though I do the core level code and not the GUI so I cant speak for it in detail.

Is iguana completed? Not quite, but it is very close and I suggest you take a look at it. The source code has been open and available during the development process at https://github.com/jl777/SuperNET and you can see that I have been quite busy over the years. docs.supernet.org documents the API

crypto777: this is an ongoing technology revenue asset and as soon as project start generating revenues, it will too. It basically represents revenues from the technology that I do that doesnt already have an asset to encapsulate its revenues. In some sense it is done, just that the revenue streams are flowing yet. Maybe this is in an in-between state, but there was no ICO per se for this, so not sure if you have an issue with it.

Now to the real unfinished projects list, however please note that there was NO ICO for these and it was funded by small number of private investors, so I dont think it is fair for you to criticize them as an incomplete ICO, as they were not even ICO:

InstantDEX: easyDEX is in last stages of coding/debugging and is part of the overall solution of loosely coupled blockchains using atomic swaps. The full InstantDEX was mostly working last year(!) however due to disappearance of GUI dev combine with NXT increasing txfees dramatically while reducing the available space to store data, made an InstantDEX built on NXT uneconomic. Should InstantDEX have been finished by now? Yes. I made a mistake of building the InstantDEX on top of NXT, which is a platform that I had no voice in and when everything was changed and made it so a few of my projects became unviable, my protests were met with a "you should have known better". OK, so lesson learned and now I know better, I wrote iguana from scratch so its entirety I am in control. Never again will I be at the mercy of arbitrary changes that break backward compatibility and the fundamental economic model of a service I built on top of it.

Pangea: this is a decentralized poker service that is in a holding pattern now due to the retooling required to switch from a NXT based service to iguana based.

Tradebots/NXTcoinsco: part of this is in the process of being completed within the easyDEX framework, but again the shift from NXT based to iguana based was a delay factor.

NXTprivacy: this is mostly a deprecated asset due to my shift from NXT to iguana, but I do have a plan to infuse some life to it after the dust settles from the other projects. In any case it never did any ICO and didnt even do much of secondary trading on NXT AE, so its priority has been low.

Do you want me to list the projects that I didnt even raise funds from private investors and are just various technology projects that I have percolating? Not sure why you would have any complaints if I have a lot of projects in the research phase that I have not raised funds for.

I proposed an Asset Passport system, which is a way to protect asset issuer and holders by allowing them to migrate from chain to chain. This was actually the genesis of dPoW which evolved from the need to secure weak PoS chains. I never raised any funds for this.

I have proposed Teleport, Telepathy and PAX within the BTCD context, but I did not do any ICO to raise funds to develop this. Teleport at a high level is similar to zcash, in that there is a blackbox of bits representing the transaction, but the math behind the zero knowledge proofs is a step above anything else and I always want to use the best tech solution for my systems, even if it means replacing something I made. Telepathy is a network level privacy "mixer" and this will work on top of the komodo, of course it needs for komodo to be finalized and also its urgency is much less due to the strength of zcash tech. PAX has been coded to alpha level, but as an unfunded project has been back burnered and also waits for the full transition to iguana. Is it is disappointing that these things have not been completed yet? Sure, but I am just one guy coding away most days and many have advised me to get more help at the core level. The issue is I cant find any other C coders at my level who will work for anything less than a lot of money.

I am also providing free consulting for many projects, they just have to ask and I try to help as I can, which is usually with some technical ideas. I am not the one actually doing these projects though, so I hope you do not hold me responsible for any delivery status of all the projects I have helped with my advice.

I understand if you see all these projects and there isnt the level of success you want to see. After all if it was all finished and a big success I wouldnt have to be working these 14 hour days 28 days a month, continuously.

However, the perception that I never finish everything is not correct. The perception that I do dozens of ICOs and just spend all the money and ask for more, is not correct.

I have done exactly one ICO outside of the NXT assets, and that is SuperNET. Its charter for use of funds is primarily to make investments and I have been funding operations from the profits, while growing the NAV from a low of .002 to its current .006 level.

If you can name any other ICO I conducted where funds were raised and I havent delivered anything, I am curious to know what it is. As you can see I am not limited in the number of ideas, nor do I feel their quality is low. What I need is more resources. I had hoped to get at least half a dozen volunteers to work on the core C projects, but alas, there were none.

With komodo there is the possibility of creating not only the first dPoW implementation, but also to fund all of the pending projects that are in slow motion due to my only having 16 hours per day to work and I am slacking off this year by working only 14 hours per day.

James



What about Waves? Seems you raised 30k btc there. I havnt followed it at all, but it seems strange that it was not mentioned at all here, given that they are so closely tied to the vision of Supernet.

How is Waves doing?
