Recently, I'm seriously considering of swapping my BTCD to Komodo.
that's after holding back all the temptations until now. because
I really saw the potential in the name "BitcoinDark".
I need few things cleared for the swap decision so devs please help me.
If I decide to hold my BTCD after Jan 2018,
Will BTCD wallets, staking and transfers function after Jan 2018?
or will devs decide to set a date for closing all the network and servers?
I'm worried that network will shut down and wallets will not function anymore after 2018.
Thus, losing all the function and value of BTCD.
And if there are more than handful number of BTCD holders inquiring small, even 1 developer or
maintenance person for BTCD. is that a possibility?
This is a cryptocurrency, there's no death switch that the dev can activate to kill the coin. It can continue forever as long as there are users. Also there is no plan for what to do after the swap period, Bitcoindark will not have any dev team left but if a new one will form, maybe James can airdrop the coins to Kmd holders and Btcd will continue on his own path.
I strongly suggest to swap, except the name everything has moved on Komodo. If you don't swap you miss the potential gains and instead hold a coin that is 90% dead. Even in the 10% probability that a new dev team forms it will take a long time (if ever) to reach the level of Komodo, and in such case you can still get Btcd with a later airdrop. So swapping is a win-win in both case.
Thanks for the clear answers! I am a bit older person to understand all the details.. so your guidance and answers really helped me alot.
I will take a good amount of time to think about swapping. wish devs all the best.
