dude they all do this, sure this works in one regard for what they need it to (and as a tradeable coin for pnd market maker action), but that's about it. kmd will not become anything major just like all other shitcoins.

what's the point of lightning if Komodo blockchain can process 20,000 transactions per second?

Aye Arrrgh!
'Tis a weary soul indeed that should tarry 'gainst a Pirates lot.
Lest it be fur  a cavalierin' way, even supercilious, tham thar treasonous blaggards must shorely be payin' a hefty price fur counterfit'n the Pirate'n way or be damn'd
Fur those bein' partial te parlay, Bahhhh! I say we damn thar souls ta hell and let scurvy dogs eat from 'em flesh ta the bones be dry'n withered.

Nee i remind ye all of our own Pirata Codex, yea an act of war can be declared only by the Pirate King, who would shorely parley with shared adversaries on account a' find'n a treasure ta be squared wit 'ees fine men.
Thus, me proud scrapes o' the Captain's charge, jest ye hold staedy 'pon yer feet 'til ye be given leave of yer sences.
Arr ship be the mightiest 'pon this 'ere ocean and ye damn'd well better push farward, 'till ye be gi'en the call ta release the hounds o' hell hahahaharrr!
What ye arrr lookin' at ye foul stenched sea maggots - GET BACK TA WERK!

I propose to call my project "Pirate Cash" but the coin will be called PIRATE. These are really two different projects. When I was looking for the name PIRATE was not on CoinMarketCap.

^^^^ This, compulsory z-tx makes zk snark tech fully anon as it should be, but ffs launch it properly, not this pirate ninja circle jerk, build a community with a fair launch, don't say one thing (this is a test only) and do another (buy buy buy), why fuck this opportunity up??

Here comes the juggernaut of snark bullshit again. This lorry should be taken off road and busted in a safe place under the palm trees in a salty desert. Im looking to get a confirmation from the Hudson based institute of cryptography as to whether the technology employed in zero coin has a chance for a living. For now all u can do is wait and scatter ur little hopes across the ground.

@smellycouch All good questions.

How fast is hyperdex compared to barterdex?
The HyperDEX GUI and BarterDEX GUI are purely GUI implementations over the marketmaker daemon. They both use the same underlying library to interface with the BarterDEX network. So actual real performance should be the same. However HyperDEX communicates in a much more optimised way which should result in updates from marketmaker being rendered much quicker (almost realtime) compared to BarterDEX GUI.

How long does it take to complete a trade with btc?
Currently, while we're in alpha it's hardcoded to require 1 conf for each tx on each chain. There are 5 steps to the atomic swap protocol from Alices perspective so it's roughly (alicecoin blocktime * 2) + (bobcoin blocktime * 3). So if Alice coin is BTC (10 min blocktime) and Bob coin is KMD (1 min block time) you should expect the entire trade to take around 23 minutes.

Obviously 1 conf for all coins regardless fo hashrate is not very secure, it just makes testing easier while we're in alpha. We will change these to more sensible values and allow users to override them with their own in the future.

We are also looking into implementing secure 0-conf swaps which will allow you to make any trade regardless of blocktime in a matter of seconds. 0-conf is secured by requiring both parties lock up collateral which will be confiscated in the event anything goes wrong.

There is no active PR team who raise awareness about this innovation and that lack of marketing and communication is killing the spirit of this platform. I also agreed with you this platform is more secure but it is not easy for a common man to launch its dapps. Dev team have to do more hard work to make it flexible network and attract big projects to start their business on this platform.

Notarization fees goto CRYPTO asset holders.  Which gets paid out in KMD.  Each chain that wants to use it needs 100ish KMD a year.  Notaries do not make anything off the service except the transaction fees for the notarization.   This is a "demand" generator ,  Komodo itself does not generate revenue,  it services pay out to their respective asset holders.

In 2018,  10000 chains being secured by DPoW may seem ridiculous,  but if the rate of growth of blockchain usage continues the way it has ,10000 may only even be 1% of the chains in existence in the not too distant future.  ( Figuring a million coin market demand is "reasonable" )

The ability to protect a PoW operated crypto currency via notarization by Komodo has blown me away. Gamecredit took the bold step to incorporate Komodo's notarization to protect its network from double spend attacks that is rampant on PoW .
