Do you know "where" the 5% are taken from ? The more I stack the more i should return interest right ?
They are new coins, generated not taken from anywhere. The more you stack the more coins you will receive though the rate remains the same. To get slightly more than the 5% redeem your interest often to take advantage of cumulative compounding.
Is this the process of "staking" or "minting"? does Komodo use PoS?
It's a innovation of Komodo. You gain these rewards all the time, and it doesn't create blockchain bloat.
Komodo is PoW (equihash), and it has dPoW consensus built on top of it.
Thanks for info...does it mean these rewards come from the same pool of 200M KMD? Is it a percent of amount of KMD we keep in the wallet?
Yes, the reward will last until we reach the 200M supply cap (in about 14 years).
I have been waiting for over a month now to be able to swap my BTCD coins for KMD... the swap instructions seemed to have vanished from the site
I'm getting nervous that I won't be able to swap. Does anyone know if the devs abandoned this or if I can do this now?
As I see it, nothing has been abandoned. As previously stated by JL777, you will be able to swap until January 2018. Relax and give em time...
Yes, the ICO site will be back online as soon as we are able to fix the underlying problems.
In addition to the initial problem we found some security issues that we need to fix.
We are dealing with people's money here, and thus we decided to go the secure route and the process is very slow as a few people have to check all the changes.
