Topic: [ANN] [SC] SilkCoin - Takeover and Rebuilding Discussion/Proposal - page 34. (Read 60586 times)

Would now be a good time to work on a multipool? I'd really love to get paid in SC for my X11 or X13 work.

Sorry for my relative silence here this evening guys; busy day (every once in a while the real-world gets in the way, you know?) I'm sorting through the comments and working on getting your thoughts organized so they can be more easily processed and grouped. For now, before getting too deep into things, my thinking is this: give me another day to work on this client while you continue brainstorming. If we can get the latest client rocking and rolling and get the exchanges updated it will certainly reduce the pressure chamber we are all currently in. There have been some great proposals and if we want to tweak things or create a hardfork we can certainly discuss that. If the fact that I manage another coin is a concern to people, I acknowledge your concern but struggle to follow the logic there; if that proves to be an issue, I don't need to be involved beyond the creation of the new clients if that is what you guys would prefer.

Obviously there are a lot of emotions involved here; people have coins stuck unconfirmed in exchanges, people have coins stuck in exchanges, people have clients that are crashing and coins that are missing locally, and you guys are still dealing with the reality of the situation that unfolded and blindsided you - I completely understand. I'm fine with everybody taking a step back and making a calculated, informed decision whether I'm involved or not. At this point, I'm assuming you all want me to continue pushing forward on the new client, correct? My intention was to proceed as planned if that is still the case. I realize I came out of nowhere but felt like it made the most sense for an outsider with a good reputation, both here and beyond, to take this project over; I truly hate seeing people get ripped off and I'm disgusted by what the cryptocurrency world is becoming - I want to be part of the change for the better. It's clear this arrangement remains open for debate; fair enough. Please not I'm not offended in any way and I'm not looking to step on toes or create addition friction... I'm just looking to get you guys back up and running and we'll go from there. I'm not asking for anything in return until I deliver each step of the way.

Keep the conversation going.

I will continue with the promoting

I'm popping in out of nowhere but I've been wanting to get involved with a coin project for quite sometime.

I'm not a Dev by any means but have a strong graphic design and marketing background. 10+ years.

If the bholzer and the community is open to it, I'm willing to commit sometime and BTC to working in the project.

This could be a great story and breath some life back into the Altcoin market if done correctly and with a purpose.

Frankly, I'm a noob when it comes to the tech side of crypto-currencies but love the good side of what it should be about. I'd be willing to write up a timeline"d" marketing plan that's coordinated alongside bholzers dev support.

If the community was really interested in getting this coin to do some good and committing to a few good causes then I'll put my money and time where my mouth is before others have to do the same.

I see the basic idea working something like gaining a clear understanding of bholzers' action plan is, get it calendared and more clear to the public. Then I can write out clear marketing initiative in this post. As part of that initiative we would work towards a few community voted upon causes. If we can get it at least to that point and there is enough trust then I can commit some staff hours and a bit of BTC.

If there is clarity and this is more than a pump action then I think we could turn SC into something really amazing. In the least enough to bring some cred back to the altcoin community and get everyone to break even.

If this community is up for it then perhaps bholzer and I can set up a time to conference?

Regardless, Its great to see that the SC community is working together to rectify this wrong.

I know it's not much but I'll also donate 1k SC as soon as development fund opens.

Just wanted to summarize all the positive support and potential team members for this project!  All the following were quoted from this thread:

mbishop75 - I've been a C/C++/C# developer for over 10 years and would be willing to help with rebuilding.

nzminer - Im all in to help in whatever way possible.  I have a client of mine who does web hosting if the devs dont hand over the domains etc.

vcoinminer0938 - I can help on web develop, promote if need.

FredDag - I am happy to contribute what I can to make this rebuild a success.

Yoshinori - If anything i 'm in, i have quite the marketing and funding proposals for this coin to start scaling.

ethereal73 - Good to see this, if you need help PM, for now its your turn.

h0lybyte - I am down to help with any programming. I can help with any code maintaining as well as setting up things like multiple nodes, faucets, dicing and other similar matters.

remistevens - When things are getting closer, I can create a promo video for the re-launch/branding.

BrianJaye - I'm willing to commit sometime and BTC to working in the project.

Rav3n85 - I will continue with the promoting @ https://twitter.com/NetworkSilk

boestin - I am more then happy to join the team by the way as a CEO/Spokesman.

mafort1469 - I just purchased the domain silkcoin.us for this community to use.

starsandskies - I can help out with advising on the legal front.

judgecrypto - I will help advise.  I just sent you .5 BTC.  You stepped up big time for a community I care about.  Even if it doesn't work out please keep it as a token of universal rightness.

Grifftech2k4 - Thank you so much, I am completely behind this and will help fund as much as possible!

Dimitry - I'm willing to send 1000sc for reviving the coin.

ifxist - I am definitely willing to donate 1 BTC to bholzer and this project.

WhiteNotWright - I will be gathering additional support for investment.

hamzatu - I am in on the crowd funding initiative.

Bitcoinasourus - I will be more than happy to offer some funding for this. When do we get a donation address?

Kaliber1 - I already have all the investors.

hiddensphinx - i will pledge BTC myself!!!

Crypt0Keeper - I'm in for 1% of what I have (as long as it's not staking, haha).

flipboxx - I'm absolutely ready to spare some SC to support the dev.

psychocoin - I'll also donate 1k SC as soon as development fund opens.

tequillaquagga - I will give 2k of Silks for rebuild.

Mr.Joker - Will contribute with 10K Silk

jaipagare - I am ready to donate 1000 Silkcoin for project development.

lonely@thetop - I'll personally send 30k to the dev.

FesterBlack - I will contribute 1K SC. Thanks.

7000years - I will also contribute 1k SC (3% of my total) regardless of price

bluepixie - 1000 Silk sent to  the Escrow

socal - for the record I will pledge 2k SC to see this through

bholzer please setup a escrow at a location we can donate to.  If you wait too long, alot of these volunteers and donations will dry up and people moved to another coin.

I have uploaded the OLD 1.0.7 version of the wallet: http://www.judgecrypto.com/featured-coins.html

I have tested it and it syncs with the network no problem. 

I have PMd MsCollec to remove the negative trust rating for Megaman...

Hi MsCollec,

While Megaman was very annoying in the forum he was ultimately correct about the users silkcoin and wulfcastle.  When silkcoin accused Megaman of extortion it seemed that was what happened.  The dev silkcoin covertly changed his website reg, removed facebook likes, covertly transferred the premine to Mintpal, all the while saying a new wallet was coming out while covertly selling the premine and keeping the proceeds.

As such it is obvious that the real non credible party here is the dev silkcoin as he is a proven liar and Megaman has proven to be just annoying.

Please remove your negative trust rating for Megaman.  

Thanks much,

Judge Crypto

hope the best for silkcoin

 
The trader app functionality would be relatively easy in java actually (I'm a full time java lead) the XChange api already provides api's to the majority of the major exchanges. https://github.com/timmolter/XChange

Does anybody out there know if there is a similar project for c++?

I agree.  These new wallet features really do lift the standard. Once combined with the new core code update we will have an amazing foundation.


Agree again... while the eco-system sounds great, my understanding is that it came as a package.
My thinking is that perhaps we should be looking at implementing smaller, stand-alone upgrades.
This could include functionality as proposed above, for processing purchases originally intended for payment in BTC (which sounds like a great idea).
Plus, the  'Register An Alias' & associated  'Reputation'  functionality could, I believe, also be implemented as stand-alone features.


Edit to add:


I don't think the internal trader functionality (trading on supported exchanges direct from the wallet) needs to be years away.
The Exchange APIs make it possible, although there is likely a bit of work involved to be sure it works correctly and gracefully handles any changes to the API.

That is the same response I got from another scam coin I hold. Well maybe someday they recover, but who knows. On to the next one!

Good luck and seriously, thanks again for trying to help get the investments back for the people. Should only need to lift it to about 3K sats to get most out clean.

What time can new wallet?

The wallet is ok but i still have 0 connections and 0 coins.

We really need to find prominent devs who have got a good reputation in the crypto scene, im sure we will find some kicking about here who have worked on other coins.

If vericoin is doing the built in exchange with BTC, then thats something we really need to look at, from what i understand, this was supposedly planned for SC.

Does anyone feel that we should increase the staking percentage for a brief period as an incentive? Maybe bring it up to 5- 10% for a week or two?

I agree, White. I don't have the skills myself and hopefully we can find those willing.

No insult intended, but why don't we just get that team together now. Listen, I do know what your folks are doing is admirable and I can respect what you are trying to do. Unfortunately I cannot bring anything additional to the table without a solid infrastructure in both management of the coin and it's technical road-map and people committed to the business. This is just simply how investments are conducted. I will just hang out in the wings for a while and trust you folks know what you are doing and either way, you did something for the crypto society that is honorable. I may chime in from time to time, as a cheerleader here and there, but honestly may need to move a few funds to some other coins to continue to earn profit to make up for some loses. I hope you will consider my idea of splicing the fork and not let a technical or logical reason sway you from that concept, might just shake up the whole ALT market :}
