[ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - An Open, Composable Smart Chain Platform, Secured by B

[BadAss.Sx]

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.

BTCD holders swap their BTCD for KMD, that means they lose their BTCD coins. We don't expect the BTCD to have much value without any devs or plans. However, it should be linked to the KMD price for one full year, as it can still be swapped for KMD. All the BTCD that is swapped will just sit in a BTCD address and not go get sold or go to circulation. So there is no reason to expect the BTCD price to dump during the next year. Every BTCD holder will have plenty of time to do the swap.

So a BTCD holder has no reason not to swap within a year after the ICO, otherwise they will be holding a coin that is no longer maintained ... Can you please explain what would be done with the swapped BTCD once the year is over?

I mean what will be more profitable? Btc or btcd on ico on the first day.

Do you need ico current price possible advantage?

According to https://steemit.com/komodo/@komodoplatform/komodo-ico-questions-and-answers:

The following was calculated based on the BTC bonus:

    Oct. 15 - 25% bonus = 0.00425 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 16-22 - 20% bonus = 0.00443 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 23-29 - 15% bonus = 0.00462 BTC/BTCD
    Oct. 30-Nov 5 - 10% bonus = 0.00483 BTC/BTCD
    Nov 6-12 - 5% bonus = 0.00506 BTC/BTCD
    Nov 13-20 - 0% bonus = 0.00532 BTC/BTCD

This means that as long as you acquire BTCD for less than 0.00425 BTC each, then once swapped, KMDs you'll get will cost cheaper than what they would have cost you if you were a first-day BTC investor.

[KomodoPlatform]

or to ico payment will only BTC converted into btcd? Is it possible to directly btcd pay? How then will be converted? 

Are you talking about the ICO?

People can invest with BTC during the ICO, but we will also swap all the BTCD for KMD after the ICO.

I mean what will be more profitable? Btc or btcd on ico on the first day.

 Do you need ico current price possible advantage?

What is more profitable depends on the BTCD's price. For a long time it traded below the promised swap rate. When calculating the price you will have to factor in the BTC and BTCD ICO bonuses (see 2# comment of this thread) and the revenue asset which BTCD holders will receive (a subjective value). More helpful information may be found from our Steemit post: Komodo ICO: Questions and Answers

[KomodoPlatform]

So a BTCD holder has no reason not to swap within a year after the ICO, otherwise they will be holding a coin that is no longer maintained ... Can you please explain what would be done with the swapped BTCD once the year is over?

Yes correct, everyone should swap their BTCD's to KMD. There is no exact plan about what to do with the BTCD we receive in the swap.

The BTCD blockchain is used today in various SuperNET projects and thus it will continue to have a function in the near future. However, ultimately all the technology will move over to Komodo blockchain and BTCD will have no role left. How long will that take? No one knows at this point.

Yes but we will have to keep the BTCD blockchain secure as we are still using it. There's no reason to burn them.

What is the ‘revenue asset’?

For BitcoinDark a certain revenue share was promised from the various projects that compose the overall SuperNET ecosystem. Those revenue shares won’t migrate to Komodo. Instead, the BTCD holders will get an extra asset that will inherit those revenue streams.

The asset is entitled to these revenue streams:

5% of InstantDEX profits
5% of SuperNET profits
5% of crypto777 profits
After the ICO is over, a snapshot of the BTCD blockchain will be taken. Then after the Komodo blockchain supports assetchains that information will be used to create a new asset. A BTCD private key will be required to prove that you had BTCD during the snapshot.

the above was on the website FAQ. private keys are private, how can you prove i have BTCD in my wallet?

[bitkokos2]

I am completely lost with all this.
I don't know if I want to exchange all or part of BTCD into KMD, I don't know if I should exchange all BTCD into KMD, I don't know if I want to exchange BTCD to BTC wait a few months and see how things will go and later buy KMD, I don't know if I want to sell all BTCD into BTC and wish everyone good luck and never look back. LOL

Everybody in exchanges say, buy BTCD now and sell after ICO. So I expect a huge dump.

with  a signature you can prove you control the privkey that generates a specific pubkey, without divulging the privkey. this is the entire basis for current day crypto

If you have BTCD, it is simple.

Hold it until after the snapshot and then you have up to one year to convert to KMD.
Whoever says the BTCD price will drop a lot after conversion is active seems to miss the fact that the conversion is possible.

Anyway, we have made the recommendation on the best path for BTCD holders many times. Not sure why people are still confused

KMD-BTC price is expected drop not BTCD-BTC. If anyone is buying BTCD now for 0.0042 then converts into KMD and dreams to sell at 0.0053 then the price will drop.
Also, what you have recommended is not what others plan to do. And that's where problems arise.

post ICO trading is hard to predict. All I can do is continue to complete the dPoW and release the mainnet. Then get the easyDEX deployed. Then continue with the tech roadmap of assetchains, pangea, pax, smartchains. The market will do what it does.

dPoW release is just the start. The current codebase is designed to solve a lot of the practical problems crypto has. With dPoW providing the bitcoin security, it enables all the other solutions which otherwise would either be too slow or not secure enough

[Blue777]

looks it's a nice plan,watching it

[kaicrypzen]

Also, what you have recommended is not what others plan to do. And that's where problems arise.

Buying-wise, there are three ways to get KMD:
- Invest BTC during the ICO.
- Buy BTCD and swap it.
- Buy it after the ICO.

If one thinks that the price of KMD will be lower than its ICO price then it is better to wait. Otherwise, I don't see any reason for BTCD not to reach prices >= 0.00425 unless all the BTC investors invest on day 1. As long as the price of BTCD is less than its equivalent in BTC for the different phases of the ICO (counting bonuses), it seems preferable to buy BTCD and swap it later. This will make the BTCD price rise (at least for the duration of the ICO).

AFAIK the answer is 0...... we were getting regular div's from MMBTCD but that has ended......... but one day soon

So basically those 5% dividends dont add anything at all if there is no dividends to be paid as you are mentioning?!

I believe that they will happen in the future......I have been running a BTCD wallet constantly for well over a year (apart from the odd reboot and blackout) and have never seen any div's apart from MMBTCD.

Somebody may well know more than me. It appears that James has finished the code for everything but is constantly let down by the GUI guys.
