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 any crypto and komodo will change this so BTCD liquidity is much stronger.

In any case dPoW will not be free to implement, we will do our best to be frugal, but it does require BTC and server costs to be funded and the resulting dPoW system can be utilized by all other crypto projects.
