What do you think is holding KMD back from having as big of a market cap as other similar projects like NEO and EOS? 

IMHO all this wallet BS is the main thing.......this project launched on 01/09/2016......461 days and virtually every page on this thread has people struggling with wallets.

Agreed that the wallet issues have been a major problem, and it is bewildering why it was considered so low priority and has taken so long to fix.
It doesn't matter how hard the dev team works or how great the tech is, if the wallet is literally unusable this is a major and frustrating stumbling point that will turn many people away.
Having said that, once the wallet all the other teething issues have been sorted out hopefully the project will really take off and all the fantastic work jl777 and the rest of the team have done on a daily basis will be better recognized and appreciated.


On short term the wallet issues are not good for new users. They could get frustrated indeed. But this is new tech and it takes time to develop properly. In the mid-long term this period will be forgotten and you will be happy to joined Komodo!  Smiley
What wallet issues are actually still left?

The Agama wallet on debian stretch doesn't work in lite mode. It says:
Connection error!
DASHBOARD.SPV_CONN_ERROR_SPV1 <--
DASHBOARD.SPV.CONN_ERROR_SPV2 <--

In native mode it works fine. The blockchain is downloaded within one or two hours.
