Populous signs exclusive partnership with Komodo.

Just wondering what's in the exclusive character of this partnership for Komodo? Komodo being a leader in atomic swaps, no direct competition seems to really exist so why the restricting to only one invoice financing platform? I'd be grateful if anyone who sees what I don't could share it. Thank you.

I think this is just a "play on words". Komodo Platform is an open source project and is not restricting its use. There should be a more detailed marketing announcement from both marketing teams coming soon.

Looking forward to those details. Thank you.

The only issue I have are the notary nodes - I always have an issue whenever voting is involved in any platform. You are signifying trust at that point (which is the completely opposite of what the basis of bitcoin was meant to serve, a trust-less service), and if there were to be a group large enough it would essentially become somewhat centralized.

Adding to this by asking if limiting the number of notary nodes to 64 is a necessity? I remember this was driven by the fact that the Komodo team had to guarantee $500 (monthly?) of revenue to the nodes. We can probably say that this is no longer an issue as mining revenues are far higher than that (unless KMD's price goes down deeply). Were there other reasons to limiting the number?

bandwidth

the notaries create a N*N matrix network between themselves, so the traffic goes by the number of notarized chains * N * N, where N is the number of notary nodes.

Even with 64, that is much less centralization than the top 64 mining pools. Also, notaries only notarize, they have no centralized control over block creation. I think any concerns about notary centralization should be diluted by the lesser power of notary nodes than for LISK delegates which are the ones that actually create the blocks if I am not mistaken
