In any case you are free to swap or not swap. If you dont swap you will still have the BTCD you have now.
You are so wring here....because of the decision made by you and the Komodo team, we are "forced" to swap and buy into this ICO. Don't you get it???!!! You are ok with market control and dictatorship? Maybe because you are on the inside and will scrape from the 10% premine!
This really irks me how you can laze-faire this whole issue.
No one is forced to swap as there will be plenty of people willing to buy BTCD. BTCD investors can make an exit, cash out with BTC. When the ICO starts there's no reason for anyone to participate with BTC if buying BTCD is cheaper, thus the BTC/BTCD rate will be fixed.
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
Yes Flyer88..I feel punked too. This is another bait and switch by JL and his buy-ins. Komodo is a tech that will not get finished....look into it more. It will turn out in 1-3 years, near the deadline to swap BTCD, that another swap will come...to fund development of a different reptilian coin. Shameful...I am committed to saving others' BTC investments.
The same fallacy about nothing getting finished is repeated over and over again.
There is progress, and this will get finished. This statement is backed by open source code found from Github and the conversations happening in Slack every day. The claim that there is no progress is only backed by a missing GUI and release.
There will be a release with a GUI before the Komodo ICO starts.
