Couple questions:
What keeps regulators from simply watching the transfer outputs from Komodo chain like they do laundering sites?
... exchanges like poloniex are KYC compliant and keep a record of all trades.
and
What do you mean by "recycles Bitcoin’s hashrate"?
using iguana's native DEX that uses atomic cross chain swaps, there is no KYC, and you can trade against BTC and compatibles. Granted the blockchains do keep a record of all transactions, the zcash tech makes it a rather meaningless thing as the anon set is the entire number of transactions in the 2^28th tree

and there is no KYC

blockhashes of KMD is securely written to the bitcoin blockchain and further that data is used by the consensus logic. Basically the KMD blockchain data is extended to include small amount of the bitcoin blockchain

once the bitcoin blockchain confirms the tx with the KMD blockhash, then it becomes as secure as a bitcoin block as the bitcoin blockchain would need to be reorged for the KMD chain to be reorged.
That sounds very interesting...
So it will NOT be on Poloniex then?
The KYC I speak of is done at the exchanges, they look at the actual trades between pairs. What can be done about that? You will have your own exchange platform?

I would assume KMD will trade at most of the major exchanges. If you do not want to deal with their KYC, then dont use those exchanges, just use the DEX directly.

I wrote about the iguana DEX previously and submitted a draft whitepaper on it the other day

I'll try and get elected for the last one if it's still available.

I have for rent:

3 x BadAss Notary Node incl. colo in a bulletproof location in the Netherlands

2 x Intel Xeon L5520 (8 cores/16 threads) you can use 12-14 threads for Komodod and 2-4 others for administrative tasks.
72GB memory
2 x 500GB Samsung Enterprise SSD (no consumer version) one will be used and second is spare in case the first one dies.
HP Smart Array B110i (RAID-modi; 0, 1 en 10)
Lights-Out 100 for remote access
Installed with preferrable Linux distro

220USD per month in BTC (3 months up front)
1 per person

I can fully secure the server and install everything for you for a fee.

Perfect as a Komodo Notary node. Now anyone can control one of the 64 nodes which are needed. Can be swapped for same notary node in Asia, Canada, America, Iceland
My DC has an uptime of 99.9% (in reality it is 100%). JL777 can confirm this. All servers are directly connected to the AMS-IX backbones.

Keep in mind, you'll get 500usd per month in KMD & BTC (if KMD are not 500usd worth at that time). So a profit of 280USD. 220USD you pay me in BTC.

A contract will be made for one year with option to extend it.

SOLD OUT!!

1 server left. Please note that you have to be elected to run this node.

Now anyone can control one of the 64 nodes which are needed for the Komodo Notary Network.

I have for rent:

6 (or 8, when i'm not getting elected) BadAss Notary Node incl. colo in a bulletproof location in the Netherlands.
A node can also be swapped with one of the servers in another geographic region!

1 x Intel Xeon L5520 (4 cores/8 threads) you can use 2 threads for Komodod and 2 for Bitcoind and others for administrative tasks.
64GB memory
1 x 500GB Samsung Enterprise SSD (no consumer version)
15TB bandwidth
1 x IPv4 addresses
KVM access and control panel
Installed with preferrable Linux distro

200USD per month in BTC (3 months up front)

I can fully secure the server and install everything for you for a fee if you don't know how to do that (one time 100usd). It is also possible that i manage the server for a fee (25usd per month)

My DC has an uptime of 99.9% (in reality it is 100%). jl777, BTCDdev and others can confirm this. All servers are directly connected to the AMS-IX backbones.

Keep in mind, you'll get 500usd per month in KMD & BTC (if KMD are not 500usd worth at that time). So a profit of 300USD. 200USD you pay me in BTC.

3 months up front, after that payment per month or annually (with discount 1 month FREE).

You rent the server ANONYMOUS. But please, don't think you can abuse the server. Phishing, spam mailruns, kiddyporn and terrorism is strictly forbidden!!

When payment is not received at the first week of a new month, the power goes down and you lose the right to be the owner of the node. A new owner will get elected and the pubkey will be changed on the notary node list.

ELECTION (READ THIS!)

Only elected people can get a spot. Server admins will get elected by the shareholders. This means that you can still be on the list for a spot, even when i already have 6 clients. If they won't get elected their spot comes available again. So I am looking for 14 possible clients.

You only pay when you get elected! So, basically this offer is a no brainer. Get elected and earn 300usd per month!

CURRENT LIST:

- yassinnxt
- pondsea
- stenkross
- proto
- Killakem
- Durerus
- Frl4web
- bitcoinuserx (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)

Only 1 spot per client

Q&A

- What do i need to do when i get elected?
Setup the server as a Komodo Notary Node, sit back and relax. Of course you have to secure the server so do your maintenance and updates.

- How do I get elected?
I don't know. Do a trump campaign, act crazy like Clinton or hug the shareholders? It's all up to you. Or read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.msg16450895#msg16450895

- Is it really free money?
Well..uhm yeah. Get elected, run the node, receive Komodo's and there it is. Free money.

- What if the Komodo's are not worth the 500usd?
jl777 will give the rest in BTC from the ICO funds.

- Ok, i'm in, what to do?
Write a message in this topic why you want the node. And if you trust me up front, write me a trust review on BCT.

- What is BadAss Security Services?

BadAss (me) is a privacy and security consultant and specialised in being paranoia. BadAss does not like Tor services and so called anonymous VPN providers. BadAss provides co-location servers for all kinds of blockchain projects.

BadAss stands for an open and free internet and provides different services to support that noble thought. Like for instance:

Bulletproof VPS https://www.badass.sx
Bulletproof VPN https://www.rootvpn.eu
Encrypted Email Service https://www.safe-mail.eu
Bulletproof Blockchain Nodes
Anonymous domain registration
Anonymous DNS servers
SSL certificates
Installations of all kinds of services

BadAss cares about your privacy. For all of our services we only need your name and BTC payment.

We will make the internet GREAT again!!!

Another Bounty!

We are creating a couple of a few minutes long Komodo videos. For them we need to find a voice-over!

Do you have a beautiful voice and a good microphone? Send a PM and the job could be yours!

We will pay 0.1 BTC bounty for this, paid in KMD after the ICO.



Still searching

We are still looking for a native Spanish speaker who could post and maintain a Spanish Komodo thread! The bounty is 0.05 BTC.

The most important is to run a testnet notary node

join #notarynode in the SuperNET slack, auto invite at slackinvite.supernet.org

there will be a simple website to provide information about candidate's qualification and ip location and hardware specs.

For now, announce candidacy here. Be active in #notarynode and mine testnet blocks with your notary pubkey. This prove's technical competency and when voting time arrives, a lot of voters will choose to pick a random candidate, so just by being technically qualified gives a good chance of being elected

What the electorate wants to avoid is a large number of notary nodes all controlled by a single entity. So by having a set of qualified nodes to randomly select from is one way to achieve this.

If you have no contacts with "insiders", that is an advantage. You dont have to know anybody, just have to know how to run command line unix. By design, the control of Komodo is being spread as far and wide as possible. It is to everybody's advantage to have no large concentration of control

Also I want to make clear that there are no "insiders" as everything is open. The source is open while I am debugging, bugs and all. The process is open in realtime via SuperNET slack and this thread. So anybody and everybody is welcome to participate. There is no large company that has any large position, even SuperNET which probably has the largest BTCD position is likely to end up with less than 5% and it is a decentralized project that is also open to anybody and can usually be purchased at about the NAV of its holdings.

Q&A

- What do i need to do when i get elected?
Setup the server as a Komodo Notary Node, sit back and relax. Of course you have to secure the server so do your maintenance and updates.

- How do I get elected?
I don't know. Do a trump campaign, act crazy like Clinton or hug the shareholders? It's all up to you. Or read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605144.msg16450895#msg16450895

- Is it really free money?
Well..uhm yeah. Get elected, run the node, receive Komodo's and there it is. Free money.

- What if the Komodo's are not worth the 500usd?
jl777 will give the rest in BTC from the ICO funds.

- Ok, i'm in, what to do?
Write a message in this topic why you want the node. And if you trust me up front, write me a trust review on BCT.
