If there is anyway of closing the other threads that would be best.  But no response from mods.

Sorry.  I was being lazy.  haha

1st thread.  Original Dev
2nd thread .  Rebuilding
3rd thread.  ANN

This is the most updated thread and currently the ONLY relevant one.

Howcome there are 2 or 3 threads on this? WHat the fuck is going on?

I know, I was there. I'm not sure how some things that I saw were allowed to happen - were mods not around? Posts should have been deleted and people getting banned left and right as the chaos unfolded. Some unbelievably hurtful content, doxxing and death threats are still sitting there for all to see. Nobody has done anything to clean it up, do mods even do things like that? Cause I was under the sensible impression that they should. Report to moderator button is there for a reason, right?

Anyway, we know why it all started and there is just no chance anything like that could happen again with the kind of devs and management we have now, so I wouldn't worry about that.


Also, guys, could you try not to nest that many quotes with every reply as that clogs the view?

SilkCoin pump happening anytime soon?

Well after i know these facts it would maybe be fine to change the name but people would still be confused thinking it's some other coin even if it did not get outside of bitcointalk but yep it seems necessary so good luck.

Subbed

This is a good point. Not everyone frequents bitcointalk forums as much as some of us and is not always kept in the loop. For all they know, the current existing social media outlets owned by the original SC devs are still the "official" ones. Ultimately it is up to the new management to decide if they want to change the name or not. If acquiring the old domains and social media accounts is not doable, then creating new ones and promoting it accordingly is recommended since the old ones owned by old dev are likely inactive anyway.

Well, domains for "Silk" won't be much easier to get, I guess. But without a name change it would also lack a clear indication to people who who lost money with Silkcoin that this project is not run by the same scumbags as before and that a lot of changes have happened - name change could be the first indication that things they are a-changin'

I do believe you mean what you say about criticism - but not everybody does! People have seen countless coins abuse the self-moderating feature to advance their agenda, which more often than not ends with the dumping of their coins and disappearing. This happens all the time and people are tired of it.

I think the best solution would be to simply start the unmoderated official thread now already and let people start using that one if they wish to do so, while we continue to discuss things in a more civil manner right here, as before. However, Dev team presence should be felt on both threads (as well as IRC and social media) every single day - it is the root of all confidence people feel about a coin. If a dev can't post for a day, someone should do it in their place so nobody panics.

Let's get that thread going better late than never! And then link both of them together with VERY visible links in the first posts so people can participate in or follow both and it shouldn't be an issue. The old threads surely can be forgotten now?

The issue of threats and doxing that was going on should be dealt with by forum moderators who should immediately upon notification delete said posts and ban the culprit, right? It should NOT be the responsibility of the person who started the thread. They can't prevent it from repeating anyway and such posts will sit around visible to all until they are noticed by them. So, I think it's forum moderators who should be put to good use in such extreme cases.

Considering all this, why would it be 'impossible' at 'this point'? What is this point? It's still the stage of baby steps for the new generation Silkcoin and a lot of community management needs to be done - this being one of them and arguably the most important! Read around the forums to see what people's reactions are when they see self-moderated threads - that should tell you everything you need to know to make the right decision.

Oh, so that's the problem. I didn't know this coin was forked i thought you are suddenly for name change just for fun.

Well maybe i should apologize as i didn't notice that my opinion is that SilkCoin is fine and better than just Silk. And changing name of something in use for quite some time will make people confused in my opinion.

this is a great point.

We had a poll on easy poll and silkcoin was the winner.  Ticker would either be silk or slk.  Folks were worried that easy poll wasnt fair (proxies and cookie clearing) so will likely do another.  Silkcoin #1 vote.  Silk #2 to date.
  At a wedding today so wont have much time to post.

As the dev didn't  say anything about changing the name or voting for change? If so quote it please and i'll apologize.
There are enought good arguments to why not change it just look throught the topic.

ok, I ma running on old wallet do I need to update? Are we mining again for the POW?

Good! The blockchain is the same!

my old coins are good or worthless?
