Summary of AMA Monday, 20th August with our General Manager Ben Fairbank

You can read the full AMA here.

An AMA stands for “Ask Me Anything,” which is an internet term used to describe an interview that occurs between the hosts and all the other users who want to ask questions.

Q1: When can we expect the rebrand? (source)

Very soon. I think Komodo has really grown as a project over the last year or so and we have learned that sometimes less is more. So we have taken our time to get the rebranding right and as is the case with every project, we learn and develop a little more each time.

Q2: When Poloniex? (source)

We are always looking to expand our exchange reach. Although we are unable to talk about exactly who we are dealing with, we can assure you it is a focus of ours. We will continue to work to make Komodo more accessible and to really ensure we have a good relationship with exchanges in each region of the world

Q3: What long term goal does Komodo have? And how important is the price of Komodo for you? (source)

Great question. I think the great thing about Komodo is it has always stayed true to its roots. We have updated our roadmap and we are always expanding our platform tech and capabilities. We have a gifted group of coders and developers and are blessed to have a wonderful community of testers and people to continually challenge the way we think and what we produce. Stay tuned for the longer term objectives very soon. As far as price is concerned, I can only speak for myself and base my answer on interactions with the team. I and we rarely speak of price. This shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. We understand the tech we are building is going to have lasting impact and will bring about positive experiences. For me personally I am more concerned with us meeting our goals, getting recognition and acknowledgment when it is due and making sure the wider blockchain audience is familiar with what Komodo is trying to do. We are still in the gold prospector stage of this investment market and unfortunately, the price doesn’t always reflect the work or results some of these projects achieve. But to answer your question relating to a goal, I would be disappointed (again, my view only) if this project didn’t achieve top 10 status at some point. For me this is a visualization I think can be a reality.

Q4: During or after sales pitches, what are some of the most heard drawbacks to choosing komodo from a ‘customer’ standpoint, and how is komodo pivoting to attack these challenges? (source)

We dont do many sales pitches as such. However the main challenges that come up are related mainly to the landscape and the regulations and legislation in the blockchain space. I will say that when I first started some 9 months ago I spent my entire time talking about what Komodo is. However now more time is spent explaining where Komodo is in its journey. I think more of a push into the Asian region is helping and paying dividends from an exposure perspective. Relating to the challenges, I think the biggest one has always been explaining what Komodo is. It is often hard, to find a simple way, to explain a platform that can do so much.

Q5: What can we do to support Komodo in everyday life? How can we (e.g. as an Hodler) make KMD and the Komodo Community help to grow? (source)

Great question. We are always looking for assistance and help in a variety of ways. What we need to remember is that Komodo is a decentralised project, so we need help from many different contributors. So what we really need and this is VERY important, is ‘participative community members’. This is a good project and we can together make it great by downloading new versions of software and testing it. Making note of what works and what doesn't. Then giving this feedback to Komodo. Sometimes we see something that doesn't work and we think it might be happening to everyone, so we ignore it. We should take a more active stance. I would say, make sure you are joining the channels through Discord and ask what you can do to help the cause. If you see something you like, spread the word and the greatest thing about this project is we invite outside people in to help and to contribute. We aren't ring fenced and an exclusive club. We want people to use and develop our offerings and we want contributors on every level.
