Great job everybody. Thank you for all your effort.
We should implement as much blockchain technology as possible into the new community, economy, and eco-system like multi-sig and voting capabilities.
The intrinsic value of silkcoin will be its community and working eco-system. If we build this transparent and decentralized economy people will follow, copy and learn. I really like the idea of
...setting up escrows and voting on projects is amazing. This could be a new standard in coin development....maybe each step can have its own escrow accounts. like one for 2FA and one for the bot and one for the Marketing campaign. One for the multipool. When someone completes a certain task they get the coins kinda like a bounty...
My votes:
Keep the name Silkcoin. Negative connotations dissipate over time. It already has name recognition and the history of its beginning (now) will make the story that much sweeter.
Change ticker from SC to SILK. People will automatically start calling it Silk instead of Silkcoin without having to change the name. SLK makes me say "slick".
Doesnt the "Grand Bazaar" already exist in Istanbul? I don't think the proposed eco-system needs a name. It's simply the silkcoin economy.
The trello idea works great. Keep up the good work.
@BrianJaye awesome work man please put this energy towards rebranding SILK
Yep the Grand Bazaar does already exist. Why I chose it for the trello board. Just trying to continue the story of the camel I've been watching staking coins for so long.. Had to be heading somewhere. haha
Possibly a name for the p2p exchange platform, instead of calling it ambiguous names like eco-system or p2p exchange. Grand Bazaar may not be the name but i think that maybe one should be chosen for terminology sake. For instance nxt - has AE - mastercoin - master protocol - counterparty - distributed exchange etc. Might help with branding, marketing, and general discussion for that matter. But if it exists solely inside the qt you may be correct that it doesn't need a name.
As far as tickers, there are quite a few coins that have more then 3 letters. Perhaps SILK would work?
Totally agree with as much blockchain technology integration as possible. Between that and the p2p exchanges, these will be the forefront of crypto evolution in technology.
There seems to be a good amount of division on keeping the name and not keeping the name.
For reason of what just took place, and of course, also worry about links with silk road.. these aren't personally my concerns but have been voiced consistently, and more so by senior members on BTT.
Just throwing it out there as another possible rebrand idea:
FairSilk. FairSilk Trade. FairSilk Community. FairSilk Economy. FairSilk Foundation.
Brandable on many levels, and literally states what is happening here. After all, This is the beginning of a Digital Fair Silk Trade era.
Raze me if you will.
My thought are this:
If you are going to keep silk in the name, its no different than silkcoin.
I dont have an issue with SilkCoin, but Silk
Crypto could be an improvement.
If we rebrand to a totally different name, we still have to explain to the newcomers that we
were Silkcoin, and now have changed our name, etc, it just makes things more complicated.
Ive seen rebranding fails with big corporations before and its happening here in New Zealand with Telecom changing its name to Spark, there was a huge backlash on their facebook page.
My idea is this, we could call the units of currency
Silk or "silkcoins" but Call the ecosystem something different perhaps?
I feel Silk Crypto would be the name for the eco system including the coins, trading platform etc.
Secondly if we add extra "coloured" coins to the mix we could name those as other commodities, we could add amber, cowries and pearls to the list as other assets on the platform down the track.
IDK, just a thought anyway.
