Dear KMD stake holders who haven't voted yet: There has been a lot of active and repetitive campaigning by a few notary node candidates, with many of those offering a shared payout to attract voters. In contrast, there are also candidates who got little attention so far but are of extreme value for the Komodo Platform. Komodo pays out only about 1.5% per year of its market cap to notary nodes, but gives 5% to each hodler in KMD. That is totally different from some other projects like Lisk, Ark etc., where node operation accounts to 1x% per year. Thereby, getting a tiny share of a Komodo notary node revenue adds close to nothing for a KMD investment. What makes a difference with a view to a KMD stake is supporting those candidates who make an outstanding contribution to the success of Komodo in order that they can dedicate themselves full time and stay highly motivated and loyal. There are excellent worker proposals by programmers, some of those are new since last year, but also many who are with Komodo for some time. As a voter please take the time and actually read the proposals rather than just going for the highest payout. Many from the Komodo community have endorsed candidates. I would like to bring attention to Libscott, https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/NotaryNodes/tree/master/proposals/libscott . What he is doing is spectacular. It brings smart contract and application development capabilities to Komodo, and it has to do with the recent Komodo 2.0 announcement for advanced notarization features. Komodo is rapidly progressing in that area thanks to Scott. While many candidates were campaigning he was busy with programming and world class system development. As the elections come to an end some candidates need more votes than others to secure a spot. There is also Shossain who was continuously active for Komodo and contributed to a lot of things, he deserves as well more votes.

As a candidate myself (please check https://DragonRiders.Team), I totally agree with this view.

First and foremost we need more developers, good developers, ninjas.

I'd like to see these two working for Komodo Platform for the next two years at least, and well paid.

And again, revenue shares are worthless to me. Reasons perfectly explained by Fullmoon.

Non technical people will have too much responsibility on a notary node. Notarization is not the goose of the golden eggs, as they treat it. It is a highly technical, mission critical, task.

Please vote for us, the tech nerds. Including, of course, Libscott and SHossain, specially them, fantastic developers.
