Oh bro, i have more tricks in my sleeve 

I agree Great job stepping up and supporting Silk Coin... with the modded forum, your article, and website accepting Silk coin! Awesome

A self modded thread is in fact not really needed, but it brings back the peace in this ANN thread. Also the community learns his lessons now how to deal with fudders. The fudders know we have a new place to jump to of which they do not have any grip on. Which in fact means, total rejection. It brings us back to where we are now...discussing the coin and its features. I think it is a perfect solution.

Well said J..

#1 Start closing this thread and move on to a moderated one, FUD is scaring away new people
#2 To the devs: Post something technical, instead of front-end goodies. That's what I am interested in. Innovations? There are many with Silk. But I would love to see in depth tech talk.
#3 Post some polls about future choices!! 
#4 Last but not least. We all know there are a couple of addresses with silk in them (yes the premine thing again). Post a poll. What do WE want to do with it. Maybe charity? Good cause?  THATS what counts imo.

Well if the developers want to get paid from that SC, then it should be transparant. For instance, like NEM.  Say they had 2 days of work for the exchange module in the new client. Then there should be a credit from the premine address. < that transaction should be transparant, public on the thread.

Staking is ofcourse a possibility, but will the 2 percent of a couple of million be enough?

I don't think the devs are worried about getting paid at the moment.  They are focused with getting the vision implemented.  Anyone on the team I am sure have personally bought their own silk and have that stake in it taking off.

Not sure what the percent would be.  When silk coin takes off a small % could be a good rev stream.  That rev stream could also go to marketing for adoption like payment processors.

Because it isn't just a letter of the alphabet. It is a failure by the very team who launched 'Shock and Awe', a marketing strategy, to address something incredibly basic about the initial structure of this project when they decided to use the Blackcoin source code.

It does not represent a letter, it represents a fundamental failure in the quality standards of the project, from the very first days of its existence.

I am not happy with the answers I am being given but, what is worse, and something that should be of great concern to any other person considering this coin, is not that I am not happy with the answer, but that the official Silkcoin rep isn't happy with the question.

We are being asked to believe they can deliver a bold new 'Ecosystem' for a coin project they evidently handled sloppily at the very start.

I'm not asking for the letter 'B' to be changed, I'm asking for them to appreciate the failings that letter now represents in their coin's wallet address format and to assuage our concerns as to the type of poor workmanship and quality standards that mistake is clearly representative of.

What has changed in their team, their methodology and practice since then?

If their response is to ask me to keep quiet, I'm guessing not a lot has changed. That's what I'm trying to establish, whether the same behaviours that brought us 'Shock and Awe' along with shockingly poor oversight, have been addressed at all.

Moreover, my concern is what happens when the devs run out of premine?  Should they work for free?  I think we need to eventually set up some sort of foundation to fund the dev team.  Another idea I had was for the stake blocks to pay a small percentage to the devs and also to eliminate the transaction fee as to me that is a legacy of PoW systems.

Thoughts?

Any ideas?

Hi Silkcoin,

Could you explain what the built in exchanger will enable us to do?

Thanks
