i made in 3 years .....double the money you will ever see in your entire life lol 

To make an adoptions list may help to get more investors. Exchanges adoption just lead to price drop. At least until Komodo will be useful for itself and then adopted.
If new features in cryptocurrencies world will be tied with Iguana wallet, we have to wait for its completion.
So this is a long term 'project supporters' investment.
Bitcoin adoption is growing rapidly and no many of these new people are interested in knowing about what a cryptocurrency is. They just use them because of their needs, because of the market trend, because of others adoption.
Bitcoin already has everything to make spread its adoption. And this normally obfuscate others cryptocurrency in their large concurrency.

To support a project like this, if not in the development, means to produce and realize marketing ideas, that of course will rely on new Komodo's features. Any adoption is for itself a new marketing idea.
And anyway a degree of technical skills is needed, or at least someone with these skill must be hired.

What many of us considers like a guarantee of profit in this investment, is the will of development team to include many innovative marketing ideas in the project itself, and we and developers know these are so relevant that will lead to a large adoption at completion. So, at least, must be as long as completion time investment.

A get rich quick scheme will be a great marketing idea 
And maybe Komodo is a solid base for it.
 

komodod.exe has been released into internal testing.

there is a windows branch for komodo, but it requires debian 8 to cross compile properly.

git clone https://github.com/jl777/komodo
git checkout windows

For osx there is a darwin branch:
git checkout darwin

It defaults to building for unix. The beta branch is what the notary nodes use, dev branch is where I am actively developing

Running a native komodod is the most secure and reliable way to run komodo and it also offers full functionality of protected/shielded transactions. Once we have native komodod for the three major OS, that allows anybody to run a full native node.

These native komodod are of course headed into the desktop app where the GUI can utilize it, in addition to the existing iguana and basilisk modes.

On the marketmaker front, even in a dramatically changing market price and after hundreds of trades, it is close to breakeven. A bit of a loss due to the low spread setting not quite covering the commissions. But to properly assess a market maker you need to wait until the market price gets back to where you started from. I estimate it will be close to breakeven in spite of low margin and trade commissions.

This was a pretty extreme market condition to test an early iteration of the marketmaker, but it didnt meltdown and seems a steady performer. Now I have bitcoin basilisk mode supported for LP nodes, the next step is to activate the DEX client. I have the LP side automatically adjusting the bid/ask on the DEX side in realtime. It is also tracking all changes to balances so it can rebalance if the balancing trade for the client side gets an error.

I still have to finish up the error handling and especially the retry for the DEX state machine for both the client and LP side, but just getting a fully functioning system is the required first step

I remember when GOlem price was below 900sat per token, you need to see beyong the present value to realise what KMD tokens offer.

still very few payout requests, so will be Friday as I previously posted

We will be waiting for this coin to get listed at Poloniex. And of course that time bitcoin bulls are done. 

I agree to all of this except maybe on Chronobank where they seemed too rich and I can see them everywhere. I read some of it and they have great support from registered companies in their place. I don't even know if they truthfully call their ICO successful with regards to expectations.

Oh, I know about those. They are all 4+ months old. I was talking about something more recent.

I am sure the marketing people have plans.

We don't need to be paying google ads promoted news articles as they do very little.

The best way to get KMD out there is if everyone lets everyone they know about it. Send some coins to some people and get them to test it out.

Best thing the dev team can do is make it more stable/better UX experience for its users. I see also a alpha/beta windows build. Once that is stable we would have all 3 OS native builds and can do Z sends/receives on all operating systems.

Just remember this is 2+ years in the making. Some more time is needed to perfect the product, then promotion can be done.
