[Krushang]

In Stratis Platform's Q&A seassion the following was asked:

He praised you are very talented, you are happy?    Stratis and Komodo are both terrific projects in this year.

I myself, find Komodo very interesting and will support your project. Good luck.

Must buying btcd to invest in komodo.

I've sold my BTCD

[jl777]

For completeness: https://blockchain.info/tx/cb07398c1b03ef32432220998e18b07dd7fbb4a83d989dc424f43786c5f7d4f2

that is a CLTV spend of a conditional payment, which allows recovering funds in case the other party bails out. And with that, the final transaction type is properly signed and able to be spent, so now onto the more mundane things, like logging, resuming after reconnect, etc.

No you do not need btcd to invest into the komodo ICO but it is better to do so currently.

If you sold your btcd, you have just sold something worth 0.0053 for 0.004 so congrats on that.

[jl777]

And the final transaction, which is alice claiming the deposit. this is not an expected occurance as the protocol both sides run will have spent the deposit before the CLTV tx can be confirmed, but it is possible for the side making the deposit to disconnect and not reclaim the deposit. In this unlikely case, the payment to the 2of2 multisig is in limbo until the deposit side spends it.

Now all the transactions that are required to protect both sides capital have been automatically created and verified to be properly signed and spendable. Getting all this code to work, especially the custom conditional p2sh signature, has been quite a chore, but finally it is done!

The side effect of long term (one week) testing of the notary pubkey messaging means I have a solid base to build the dPoW messaging on top.

That's not entirely true though. It depends on the amount of Bitcoin raised and the time the bitcoin is raised (as bonus % counts into the equation).

@jl777: daring thing to clone zcash. I have a few questions:

First, how proficient are you with zero-knowledge proofs?

Second and most importantly, how do you plan to manage the trusted setup? This will require highly regarded and trusted people with spotless reputation and proven ethics and principles, and these people will have to meet somewhere so that they can authenticate each other an make sure that the trusted setup process is scrupulously respected by everyone. As far as I know, you have chosen to remain anonymous. so unless you decide to reveal your identity, you won't even be qualified to attend yourself the trusted setup
"ceremony". So who will? Who have you lined up? I'm expecting impressive names here, the kind of highly regarded folks with a track record of acting in the common interest and being dedicated to furthering mankind. Have you got Satoshiware lined up just like zcash does? Or are you going to simply fork from zcash **after genesis** so that you can reuse their trusted setup?

komodo will use the same parameters as zcash. The dPoW is independent from all the zcash zero-knowledge proofs and parameters.

What is BTCD ?

[KomodoPlatform]

What is BTCD ?

BTCD is BitcoinDark. Komodo is a product of the BitcoinDark team, essentially with the same vision, thus it really is a BTCD 2.0.

The difference between them is that Komodo will use the best privacy technology (Zcash) and it will also have the dPoW. The old vision to achieve privacy for BTCD was a good one, but Zcash proved to be even better.

The BTCD can be swapped for Komodo coin after the ICO has ended.

I am truly excited at the liquidity provider tech that is being worked on. This just might be the killer app that crypto was missing. ( instantdex being part of this)

If the little guy can make some extra coin by providing this service then I see great things coming down the line.

I encourage the team to make joining the liquidity provider army as easy as possible with as many dumbed down videos, documentation, examples, and other marketing as possible.


And, good job team

I just submitted the rawdraft for the easyDEX whitepaper, not to be confused with the dPoW whitepaper.

Looks like we will have at least two whitepapers, but dont ask me about the timing

The valuation of the btcd swapped to iguana is 0.0053 btc (this is without the additional average btc bonus bonus ). Even if there is 0 btc invested then the price of komodo should go up due to the new tech involved and when the zcash hype gets started.

But i suspect that we may get more than a few btc to justify the valuation.

Like PondSea said, the information in the GUI is just some random characters. No real BTC transaction took place.

So, in real there will be ordinary BTC addresses?
