When will be Komodo activated on Bittrex again? Waiting since three days to withdraw my coins from there.
The latest beta branch is looking pretty good. Much faster syncing, much improved and cleaned up code for the recent issues.
Now, KMD ecosystem is not the ordinary bitcoin clone where there is just the bitcoind equivalent and QT wallet. So it necessarily takes longer to update. Once there is a stable komodod:
1. All notaries must update and with the 24 timezones most having a notary node in them, this is not an instant process.
2. After the komodod is updated to all the notaries and GPU pools, the notaries need to make sure the basilisk data is up to date. Otherwise the basilisk mode will be missing some data. You wont lose any coins, but you might not be able to see them via basilisk.
3. The updated komodod needs to be built for osx and windows
4. The updated komodod needs to go into an Agama release
5. installers need to be updated with the updated Agama with the updated komodod.
6. At this point, is about where exchanges would reenable deposits and withdraws.
Additionally, for this weekend there is a scheduled activation of a few minor consensus rule changes. I dont expect any issues but better to be safe and cross the 250000 height with a relatively smaller set of nodes.
So please be patient. Most coins have never been attacked even once. Let alone four times. Let alone in just over a week. And yet, komodo is updated, and stronger due to these attacks. We were blindsided by the first one, but since then we have developed attack response procedures and will also utilize zero-day mitigation processes in the future.
It really sucks that having found a vulnerability, fixed it, partially deployed it, yet it was still attacked since KMD is open source and given a fix, working backwards to an attack is not so hard.
Will there be more attacks? I am assuming that there will be and continue to improve the security whereever vulnerabilities are found. This has necessarily delayed some of the core features I was hoping to have this month, but nothing is more important than the security of funds. In any case, komodo and iguana are still a bit ahead of agama (notice there was no confusion as to what I mean!), so maybe overall we did not lose much time.
What doesnt kill you makes you stronger and komodo is certainly alive!
