Notary Node Election Details
...
With the current exchange rate of 0.00012909 BTC/KMD the notary node would get 0.26 BTC/month = $190/month.
-> thus we would pay the node $310 in BTC, so that their total income is $500/month.
When KMD price goes over $0.25 dollars we don't have to pay any subsidy.
What is it about? Where you can see a KMD exchange?
It's the price the ICO investors paid to get KMD with 0% bonus.
Of course we don't know the actual market price until there is a market.
