What is special about the above block is that the mining target hash is: 0f0f0f0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
which is the minimum diff, even though the actual diff at the time was around 4, with nBits of 2003fe27

this prevents mining wars between notaries. a lot of infrastructure needed to be in place for this to work, most especially height specific list of notaries. We still need to verify ratification of a new list of notaries, which is one of the last remaining items now that round robin difficulty is verified.

This also means all of James his work is coming into place. People think this man is only a ico scammer, but they are really gonna cry the hell out of it when everything clicks together and comes online. Quotes like:

"I missed the goddamn ICO"

"Never thought he would make it"

"I take my words back, he is no scammer"

will cross this topic.

There remains the risk that James will disappear and everyone investing will be crying. Is there even anyone who could take over if JL gets hit by a bus? I seriously doubt it. There is enormous risk having a solo anon dev.

The code is public. Btc did not stop after sotoshi left so even if james get hit by a bus someone could continue with the project.

If as the trolls say, that I am nothing special, then it seems anybody could take over the codebase. Maybe in a day or so.

Of course, if it is true that I have some special talents, then it is a good thing that funds are being raised for to cover such an unlikely scenario. ALL of the source is open source as I develop it. To my mind this is far less of a risk than any project which isnt open source regardless of how many devs they have.

Also, I am sure that competent C coders like tromp could pick up my codebase without much trouble. I am writing code to existing bitcoin protocol specification for the most part.

I have no plans of disappearing and am VERY careful whenever there are any buses. Believe it or not, I actually dont get out much.

"Believe it or not, I actually dont get out much." More proof of superior coding ability would also include the lack of a suntan...

Do you know any VPS / root server hosts that have sufficient specs to host a komodo notary within the desired areas?

- Asia
- North America
- Southern Hemisphere

I am researching providers, but they need to be English speaking. And obviously must still allow a profit. I found some, but much to expensive.

[kaicrypzen]

I came across this post in the Byteball thread:

Regarding ICO wallets, I reached out to James (jl777) who is currently running Komodo ICO.  He replied that keeping the received bytes for himself he considers unethical, and he will use the bytes as additional funding for Komodo.

I'm quite happy with this decision and hope other ICO founders will also use their funds responsibly.

I was wondering if the byteballs would add up to one's BTC investment, meaning if an investor invests n BTC, and the n BTC get q BB, then the investor would be considered as having invested n+p BTC where p is the BTC equivalent of the q BB.

That would just complicate things. Should be used as free capital to further komodo.

In Asia specs can be 32gb ram 500gb ssd 8 threads or 4 if really needed. Please let me know the location before you proceed as you need approval for the smaller spec.

Sh i have nodes for 300usd if anyone needs one.

So this might be a little early, but any whispers of what exchanges may list this after ICO finishes?

We ẃill inform the biggest exchanges about Komodo, but no deals will be made and we cannot promise any date when and if we get listed.

Yep, I was also thinking that this would be complicated to set up ... I just wanted to know how the BBs will be used exactly (getting an official statement about it).

Assuming BB price is ~0.001 this represents about 2.2 BTC of value. I think it is good to put this in perspective. Doing any distribution would likely cost more than its value and not be economical.

With 2.2 BTC estimated value, it would be used for normal expenses. However, I like to hodl promising crypto, so likely would not sell at such a price and then maybe over time it becomes worth 10x more.

Can someone explain in some short sentences why Komodo is special and worth an ico?

[Forrest01]

Not sure if this has been discussed before - There is no option to setup 2FA on the ICO website which makes me feel its less secure.

Is there any plan to add 2FA option before end of ICO?
