the zcash zkp is second to none in privacy. with ringsigs the anon set is 3 to 10, usually at the lower end. So it does provide plausible deniability and if that is all you need, then maybe its ok. with

exactly. never enough liquidity. 0.01% of BTCD decided to sell after komodo announcement. That is 99.99% NOT selling, yet that small amount of sell pressure move the price down 10%. this is not good for

do not view this as the end of btcd! komodo is btcd 2.0 and post ICO it will have a variable price in the market again

it builds on a zcash fork, adds dPoW and iguana, so it will inherit all the non-mining aspects of zcash. I am pretty sure the zkp creation times will be optimized. Also doing a private multisig is close

I submitted the draft for review and editing, not sure when it comes back with all the revisions. I can say part of dPoW design was inspired by steemit

btcd 1.0 will continue to exist as a deprecated but functional network I will be continuing with komodo, iguana, basilisk and gecko development as before btcd just gets a massive upgrade

komodo is btcd 2.0 but the 1.0 chain will live on

think of komodo as BTCD 2.0, rebranded technically there will be 2 networks the 1.0 and 2.0, both coexisting

dont understand any of it, but if you wrote it, it must be good stuff

the surprising thing is that it isnt

i analyzed whale voting patterns and there was no significant bias to vote for other whales, the percentages were pretty close to the global average. I have seen whales gang up on posters who exhibited

i develop on mac laptop running osx, but the tests are on unix boxes, ubuntu and i think debian, doesnt matter as i am not using any external libs other than pthread for the core. i only use curl for getting

A couple points, first is that SBD "peg" to 1 USD is not really backed by anything other than the one week average price of STEEM. So if the price of steem is volatile, then prudence suggest

Where is the 5 year plan? Always need a 5 year plan!

until we reach the equilibrium of 90% SP and 10% liquid steem, there is incentive to power down. without demand exceeding supply, the price will fall until the equilibrium is reached. well, everybody was

segwit is so complicated, it is essentially an entirely new blockchain in parallel. what could possibly go wrong? old nodes that dont update become SPV level security, but there wont be any hacks against

I warned you not to spam me via chat. You ignored it, hence the downvote. each time you spam me one of your posts, I will downvote it, maybe you will listen

VIA support added except it seems they changed the blockchain format around block 420000.... so iguana cant parse beyond that

It does seem that a lot of tx are being sent using lowest priority with very low fees, which i guess for non-urgent things might be ok. What confuses me is that tx with .0001 txfee (about 40 sats per byte)

overabundance of space??? currently the majority of blocks are totally full. We are not talking about making giant blocksizes, just about fixing having always full blocks. Clearly keeping things at 1MB
