I have been reading about Komodo and I'm curious to hear anyone's answer to this
If you were explaining Komodo to a new user, who has a basic understanding of crypto but knows nothing of Komodo
How would you explain it to them?
And
Why should they choose Komodo over say BTC, ETH, or ZEC
We explained Komodo it in the updated bitcointalk thread. Check it out and let us know if it is clear and how it could be improved.
We are in the process of building everything up, so from the user's perspective bitcoins have more usability than KMD (or any other cryptocurrency). But, already excellent privacy can be achieved through Jumblr, so there's a usecase already. No GUI yet though.
can you give us a short update about the GUI status/process? Many thanks
We are actively looking for talented devs and other solutions that would boost up the development process. Here's what we are doing:
1. We are in contact with a third party company would do a code review and might help us afterwards too. They can help us to make better decisions.
2. We have a new strategy to find quality devs through face to face meetings and networking. Few of our team members will be spending time in Barcelona.
3. Our platform's potential is so wide that we cannot make all the GUI's in-house. We are going to get into contact with certain established companies or young teams that we would encourage to build a certain DAPP or APP. It's all open source, and anyone could develop a GUI for something.
4. Documentation: our team members have been doing documentation so that new GUI devs can get up to speed quickly. Of course also third party developers need quality documentation to use our platform.
5. Quality Design - our marketing team is getting involved with the GUI design aspects. They will be further designing the Agama Wallet Brand.
I asked the same question on the BTCD forum so wanted to double check - If I buy BTCD today, can this be swapped for Komodo going forward when the website is back up and running?
Yes, you can swap it right away when the ICO site is up.
