Nice idea, it comes at the right time!

Believe me or not, I felt something was coming.
Yes,
these are the features we need and the rebranding is ok, IMO. So will the blockchain have a new start with Komodo? Slim chain?
Tensely awaiting more good news.
Glad to hear that!
We have an article coming that explain little bit more about dPoW! We hope it makes the concept more clear.
You don't have to wait long!
Interesting insight!
I'm happy not only me understands the situation/logic/numbers.
BTW if this decision was done for good of BTCD holders, why it was not consulted with them?
I'm also hoping ICO will get as little as needed, and all other coins will go to BTCD. But this is somhow contradictionary to what was said about fixed price for KMD...
Indeed ICO investors should be confused seeing the jump and 5x gain lost in BTCD and see sth is not good here (assuming ICO will max 30k BTC)
Komodo continues the path BTCD was on: anonymity. The price of BTCD was determinated by the average price in August, so no info were spread. Otherwise the price could have been artificially rised to make them worth more.
The new features of Komodo required capital. There is no way to have these features without having a new ICO.
We had to think a way to make the new ICO fair to both new investors as well as the BTCD holders. Of course we cannot please everyone, but we hope that everyone will begin to see what we are trying to achieve.
