Topic: [ANN] [SC] SilkCoin - Takeover and Rebuilding Discussion/Proposal - page 18. (Read 60586 times)

heh, i was just about to post that the grand bazaar name was chosen by arteleis , but i was being blocked form posting and he came here to admit to it himself .. so thank you arteleis, for telling the other monkey that it was you who came up with such a horrendous idea.



nzminer i just realized discussion with you is pointless, you are probably 12 and dont understand "crypto" at all.


yes please leave all the "ideas" to the devs.
the reason it "hasn't been done before" is because it makes no sense whatsoever,
and..
silkcrypto is a horrible name,

...we can not have a different blockchain for each commodity, that meant everytime you wanted a new item in a new "commodity" section you would create a whole new coin, new blockchain = new coin. so it's not even silkcoin anymore...

altho there is already a potcoin and cryptometh, so maybe you are on to something

and of course ...
the implied myth behind silkcoin was there would be a silkroad type marketplace with anon features that would accept silkcoin...
of course this could probably never be built into the block chain as they described... it was a nice dream, and someone could still pull off a decentralized market of some kind that indeed does use silkcoin as the currency .., anything is possible.

but if i was you, and i am sure as hell glad i am not, i would look into CLOAKcoin's proposed p2p decentralized marketplace that will accept CLOAKcoin .. called CLOAKmarket.....  https://twitter.com/CryptoPioneer/status/483297316976078848

maybe it will be a scam too. but it looks promising so far, whitepaper to come out soon..

i will keep holding my silk, i hope something happens with it, besides a bunch of 12 year olds renamaking it silky the camel-my first internet monies.


arteleis, the original silk road was a magical place where dreams came true, of course the implied reference with silkcoin was to this original marketplace, complete with a camel as it's symbol.
... not that it matters as it turned out to be a scam.

i hope the dream still comes alive.. or at least silkcon gets some value again.


so yea, nzminer, it seems you are the one that missed the point... as all i was saying is, all these ideas are pointless for a broken coin. why bother changing the name, go home.

you and arteleis are making this thread into an embarrassment, no one is going to want to save this coin if you two have anything to do with it.

I dunno I never seen Grand Bazaar anywhere before I made the trello.  Possible but not as far as I know. 
 Only problem with silk market of course, it sounds very directly linked to silk road.  Which of course silk coin has nothing to do with. Personally do not want to go that direction at all.

I think youve missed the point, read again.
From Memory the term "Grand Bazaar" was going around on here when the original developers were here.

i think those are all terrible ideas .. cubits ?? wtf.


cmon, just all it silkcoin.

i kinda like the proposal to call it "silky" .. kinda .. but now all this shit is blown oout, it's stupid.

Grand Bazaar? wtfowts....

Yea, it will be cool to have a decentralized p2p marketplace, just call it SilkCoin DarkMarket SilkMarket, where it accepts SILKCOINS, not silkcrypto, not silk cubits, but silkcoin, SC. that's what it is.


edit: ... Phenocoin .. ?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pheno

Pheno. A Secluded Dublin 15 location where a select group hang out and partake in illegal activity on a disgustingly frequent basis.

Headin' down pheno?

For anyone interested, please pm me your skype id and relevant experience, or offer and I will add you to the skype chat group, The Grand Bazaar.

Here is my vision for branding:

We will break it down into 3 parts.

1: Drop "coin" - we will refer the currency as "Silk"
2: Ecosystem - Refer the whole platform as "Silk Crypto"
3: Marketplace - The Grand Bazaar

This is a similar strategy to the NXT and NEM platforms.

NXT has always been referred to as NXT, even though some would inadvertently call it "NXT coin", thats never been an official name.
One of their domains is nxtcrypto.org, and i dont think there would be anything wrong with referring our platform as "silk crypto" but "silk would be the commonly used name for the currency itself.

We should also be creative for the units of currency, BTC uses Satoshi for example, perhaps we could use the ancient unit of "Cubits" (measure of length) for our "Silk"?

I propose registering silkcrypto.org or silk-crypto.org

But multiple domains are not an issue, NXT has several domains, and so do alot of other coins.

I dont think the above strategy suggests that we are engaged in illicit activity, and look at Darkcoin, i reckon their name is one of the shadiest names in crypto, and they are up there on CMC.

Awesome!  please join the grand bazaar and post your trello id.

one of us will add ya!

oh, don't worry about then. No reason to start the poll all over for a minor change. Thanks for checking into it mate.

Will see the outcome of this poll, and when bholzer gets back on the forum maybe we can do a btt poll, and maybe another easypoll with the same choices.. Sorry about that Brian.  Please note everyone, that Phenocoin - Is Pheno in the easypoll.

 The aim of the easy poll was to find out a rough estimate of what everyone wants, but I do not think it shall be the end all of end all polls.  (-;

Unfortunately I just found out that to edit the names or add to a poll, the poll needs to be restarted. 

@Arteleis - Sorry to be a pain mate as it is overwhelmingly not being voted for - but can you change "Phenocoin" to "Pheno" - never wanted the "Coin" part to be in the name. If you can't get to it, no big worries as its a rather moot point.

I'd volunteer for community manager. I've a BS in Public Relations and I minored in marketing. I have a fair amount of experience being an operations director for a local fandom convention. I can manage teams, get work done, follow deadlines, and that sort of thing. I'm passionate about crypto for a while. I like Silk, and if the community will allow me to help then I will do so.

Compassion and Empathy is a good thing. Think it has a lot to do with the reasoning behind everyones volunteer efforts.  No need to cry! Silk is getting rebuilt! With Love!


edit: Camel Love.  lol

Because the Developer(s) made a mess of a great project and the price plummeted. Two very valid reasons, and I see some poeople who lost on a investment. That makes me sad. It is a little thing called compassion.

Why so sad and scared?

But in relative contrast to saying that.. What about a straight forward pay to vote system?  1 silk = 1 vote.  Would show exactly how much silk has been spent to vote, and would contribute to development directly.

I am staking, have backup of wallet.dat   

You should be able to stake the coins without any issues, obviously you are still using the older version without the bug in it.
of course, you should keep a backup of your wallet

good. I keep wallet running or turn of until new release?

This is really hard to watch... Good luck everyone.
