Can we still run the full note to earn KMD if we are not elected as the notary node?

We did it! Top 10 here we come. Congratulations everyone!

I think after or same day for KMD (mainnet launch) distribution which is it will be on January 31, 2017
I don't think where it will list but I hope it will trade one of these exchanges site, bittrex or poloniex.

Recently a few GPU miners have started mining KMD.

approx 10% of the KMD block rewards are up for grabs, possibly a bit more. The design of the KMD mining allows for seamless transition between a pure PoW coin and a dPoW coin. The more PoW hashrate behind KMD, the more secure it is for blocks prior to them being notarized, so we welcome any and all miners.

So we will earn interest by holding our KMD? it is like PoS. Awesome.

is that on top of the 5% REV from original BTCD holder snapshot?

It says "starting wallet. Please wait" for 1 hour and it does not open.

OS: Win 10

Wait for a new beta release, which is soon, or just install this library manually for your OS:

Install BOTH x64 and x86.

Done!

And by the way. I don't have the hard wallet yet. No problem with the "request Payout"?
