Notary Nodes

• Our focus is on creating a scalable, stable platform so we are using a combination of Cloud and Datacenter based Servers
• Two proficient die-hard automation fans looking after the servers means better stable service.

What Meshbits Offer
At Meshbits, we mainly think from a developer's point of view and understand where Komodo Platform has room for improvement. Having the capability to do development and create tools and applications to improve the Komodo Platform allows Meshbits team to use it's skillset and funds in the most efficient way possible.

Meshbits will use all the earnings made from Komodo Platform Notary Nodes mining for the following:

• Scripts and toolset for Developers which will help creating independent projects from scratch using Komodo Platform technologies.
• Creating Decentralised Applications based on Komodo Platform technologies.
• Contributing to improve Komodo Platform Infrastructure experience wherever possible. The recent example is the addition of SPV servers which are being voluntarily provided to the Komodo community.
• Creating & maintenance of Developer oriented documentation for Komodo Platform technologies.
• Instead of offering percentage of our Notary Nodes to our voters, we use these funds to increase the value of Komodo tokens by dedicating our skillset to improve Komodo Platform. That itself increases the underlying value of all KMD cryptocurrency.

It's the developer made applications and services which put a cryptocurrency in demand, due to their use cases. And Meshbits team has the capability to deliver what we promise.

We hope the Komodo Platform users will chose Meshbits and give us the opportunity to not just give the value to our voters only but to the entire Komodo community.

Question about redeeming interest...

What is the best system I should follow to maximize my interest?
Everyday, week , month etc...

Thanks in advance.

https://financialmentor.com/calculator/compound-interest-calculator
(scroll down the page a bit)

so, is it best to redeem interest daily

remember that you should have at least 10kmd in one UTXO and there is a 1 hour locktime before the interest will start accruing. So if you do it everyday, there is 365 hours in locktime in one year.  The best i think so far is monthly.
https://www.atomicexplorer.com/#/interest

I assume you wanted to refer to this link https://www.atomicexplorer.com/#/interest-calc instead? You can simulate different strategies. Indeed if you take into account the number of hours when no interest is accrued; among the frequencies suggested by the site, monthly seems to give the highest returns.

[Decker]

Decker's 2018 Notary Proposal: https://deckersu.github.io/

Who am i?

I am an IT expert and systems engineer. I’ve formed part of the Komodo team since 2017. During which time I contributed to Komodo in the form of development towards the KomodoQT (KomodoOcean) wallet - the world's first GUI wallet for a zero knowledge fork that supports KMD and all its parallel chains. Additionally I assist the team in testing and development of new dapps.

Why Vote for Decker?

In addition to the wallet development I took part in the creation of the first CHIPS wallet, building BarterDEX core for Windows. Active member of the community with plans to support the platform in the long term. Notary node funds will increase my resources to improve Komodo dapps.

Proven Skills

• I can handle a wide spectrum of the Komodo infrastructure.
• Deployment and support fail-safe work of KMD and parallel chain explorers, hosted on my own VDS servers.
• Software testing, software programming.
• Making blockchain snapshots, writing and translate documentations for users.

I’ve decided to become a candidate for the European / Asia and Russia regions and I count on your support!

If you haven't voted yet, please consider my proposal: https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/NotaryNodes/tree/master/proposals/cipi

I am with KMD from the very beginning (since the swap from BTCD), currently running 2 marketmaker nodes for BarterDEX and 6 electrum servers on AWS. I integrated most of the coins now tradable on BarterDEX. If i am elected i will reinvest part of the income into upgrading the electrum servers. I plan to upgrade to larger instances and also to set up more of them. Since I've configured them so that you get connected to the one with the least latency, this will help make it a bit faster for the user.

Some additional words about me: I am a UNIX sysadmin with more than 20 years of experience and i worked for 3 employers:
- a server hoster (the usual data center operations)
- a company providing software and hardware for air traffic control. There i cared for the servers of some national ATCs (eg. DFS) and also some airports (eg. Singapur and Abu Dhabi)
- the last job i had was taking care of the servers of a german public TV station

I recently quit my last job in order to concentrate 100% on Komodo, BarterDEX and the Notary nodes.

Thank you all for being so helpful. It is nice to see a community that actually cares and doesn't insult a post from a newbie.

Keep in mind that in the US this is considered MINING income for tax purposes, so it must be tracked for record keeping purposes. Capital gain/loss taxes are also based on the amount claimed and the price of KMD at the time. This is why I usually just claim once a week. However, if the market seems high, I might hold off until it goes a bit lower. Remember when you cash out to fiat, the US gov. will want to know the asset trail. Just trying to point out that since you control when you claim you can use it to your advantage to reduce taxes.

Hi Komodo users!

If you're looking for a Notary Node operator to spend your precious VOTE's on, look no further than me.

I am an experienced operator who has already been running a Notary Node on the mainnet for over a year!

All of my info can be found here:

http://vote.xrobesx.co



Feel free to reach out to me. I want to be there for my voters anyway possible.

xRobeSx

The voting is coming down to the wire and I see my boy xrobesx is in a tight race to retain his role as a North American node operator.  Being that xrobesx has successfully and reliably operated a node since testnet, this vote really is a no-brainer imo.

I've been close friends with xrobesx for over three years now and I can attest to his unparalleled dedication and exuberance for this job. Not to mention, his overall passion for the Komodo and SuperNet projects as a whole. This guy lives, eats and sleeps all things KMD and SN and has been that way since 2014

For more proof, look no further than CHIPS first mining pool, which xrobesx is solely responsible for.  In fact, he took the initiative and created that pool specifically for this community.

I never feel like I'm behind on my KMD/SN knowledge because this guy makes an effort to ensure I'm always up to speed. He doesn't have to do things like this, but he does. And not for any other reason than the fact that he loves his role as a KMD/SN evangelist.

I could continue, but I think it's pretty clear this guy deserves a position as a North American node operator.

VOTE FOR XROBESX!!!!

http://vote.xrobesx.co/

If anyone is late to the voting party and doesn't have ample time to do the research, look no further than Mr. XrobesX! It's guaranteed that your precious KMD votes will go to a good cause if you vote for XrobesX.

Experience, dedication, determination and reliability will be on your side if you place your trust in XrobesX. Make the easy choice and cast your votes now!!

!!! If you want to help us, please send all votes to our SH node. Thanks !!!

ladies and gentlemen,

we are pleased to announce the candidacy of TEAM CHAiNSTRiKE for nodes in NA/AR/SH. our members have a long history in the crypto scene.

you want details? sure lets jump right in…
/home/jeezy

    long time investor of james projects
    EU node operator since the beginning in 2016
    nearly 15 years of IT-experience (win/nix)

/home/dukeleto

    core dev of KMD, helping implement 2.0 vision
    core dev of HUSH, bringing secure coms to people
    started mining BTC and read Satoshis WP in 2011

/home/rz1911

    backup operator for all nodes
    will mainly manage the social media accounts
    over 15 years experience in it-security

here are some details about our node in EU that has been running since october 2016, and what we want for our new nodes

    industrial servers on a gbps backbone
    hosted in first class dc around the globe
    near perfect mining results every month
    one of the best performing nodes overall
    top notarization results, day by day
    uptime of 99%

so whats planned for 2018/2019 you ask?

pretty simple, keep the above mentioned performance level and add three more nodes since we have all the experience and can put in the workhours it should be an easy task, but most importantly we help KMD keep pumping a healthy stream of notarizations.
but wait, there is even more!

every 4 months we will drop back 10% KMD of the mined value to our voters. (only valid for public votes) in addition we will payout 10% KMD of the mined value to help projects chosen by the team at our discretion.

this, in addition to our powerful team and the fact that we bring the experience and willigness to provide a stable notarization environment to the table, should be enough to convince you that voting for TEAM CHAiNSTRiKE is the only logical conclusion.

https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/BarterDEX/releases/tag/V1.0.0-rc

Really great news for KOMODO community! We have one more achievements, new milestones with BarteDEX.
In my point of view, BarteDEX should have strict listing rules in order to keep it out of shitty coins. It's good approach to build up trust for BarteDEX and keep it on track to become one of the largest, best exchange in the crypto world.

[BitcoinArsenal]

Is it possible to create several Bitcoin addresses in the Agama Wallet? One for every application? The same applies, of course, to addresses of other coins in the wallet.

Also, I would like to know how it goes with the non-reproducibility of transactions by using zero-knowledge (sorry I am not a techie)? If I send coins, then sender and recipient are clearly visible in the block explorer including all transactions they sent / received. Maybe someone can explain it in some simple words.
