Uh - there is one person idling there, while there are 28 in #silkcoin. I think it makes more sense to get ownership of #silkcoin and #silk cause that's what people would naturally join when looking for our room and like I said - we don't need to contact the owners of those rooms, just prove to a freenode admin that we represent Silkcoin project on github - and ownership will be given to us.

psychocoin, current IRC room is #grandbazaar on frenode

Nope not new, I'll just quote what was said on the first page again and then try to explain my point better.

Just wanna say - it doesn't bother me personally, but your answer did not provide any arguments for why self-moderating is more beneficial to the project than the default setting where if someone seriously disturbs the thread the a forum moderator would take care of it - why is anything more than that needed at the cost of losing many people's trust?

Take a look at this thread to see that people do consider Self-moderating as a sign of a scam. Plain and simple. To many of them it looks like this:

"Self-moderating? Dev can and probably will delete all criticism even if it's valid, which is NOT something a strong coin would need to resort to. Or the Dev is preparing for the day they abandon ship and run with coins, while silencing all those who voice suspicions."

This was a paraphrased quote of what I read on IRC after telling people about the new Silk. So yeah, guess what people think about a coin that needs to feel the safety of a censor button? That it's WEAK and can't let people criticize it! It doesn't mean that is true, but that is what people logically assume because they have been burned by trusting someone before already and they have no reason to trust you! If we want to change that - start a new normal ANN thread for the interest of the general public where all concerns are free to be voiced. Then, change the title and the first post of this one so it becomes the self-moderated "Serious" community thread which won't have any of the garbage you think would befall the ANN thread.

We have a responsive community now and people being around to prove critics or fudders wrong will improve the coin's credibility! I repeat, I only want what's best for the coin as a stakeholder myself, which is why I want people not to run away with doubts because of a small matter such as this. It's good to stand up for our coin, but the way people do it on this forum is by using proof and arguments, not just deleting whatever they don't like!

Few more things - do we have an IRC presence? We should! We could take over both #silkcoin and #silk if someone with the access to github goes to #help on irc.freenode.net and PM's one the voiced (+ in front of name) people there and tell that you represent SilkCoin - the brand with its name in #silkcoin and #silk chat rooms that you would like to get ownership of, as the rightful representative of the project) and , then prove it with github and you will be passed ownership of those channels. Alternatively - /message Wavey (the owner of #Silk) or silkcoin (owner of #silkcoin) but they both appear offline so just ask the admins at #help #silkcoin is being spammed by a shitty bot owned by the previous operator of the room, I think, so as new owner you should also ban that. I think with help of admins it could also be possible to seize "silkcoin" nickname, as that is our brand too.

As many people as possible from the dev and management team should be hanging in the room - it increases user confidence A LOT if a dev is sometimes there to chat, answer to questions, tell some ETAs... And then a lot more people would join the chatroom because it would be a source of possible exclusive info.

Also - I think it would be nice to see much more details in the first post, I would personally like to see a list with all forum names of people involved in Silk and their main roles if any. The public doesn't see what happens on Trello so they have no idea how many people have actually volunteered to work hard as a team and deliver the true potential of the coin.

Made some edits

LOL, well I guess that's been decided then, guys, might as well pack up and go home -- SirChiko will take over from here.

Website http://silkcoin.moniq.sk/ belongs to bitcointalk user moniq https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/moniq-352179.
She created the design and will communicate here as soon as the user account is online long enough to create comments. The donation SC address for design is still valid.
She may decide to publish new donation address for future work

There is no voting and it won't be changed.

Tried both. with a clean blockchain and with the zip blockchain.

If i download the wallet and delete everything in the folder except wallet.dat it syncs till 60000, from that amount it's going very slowly. it went from 60000 to 60147 in 12 hours. (Enough nodes and 120mbit/s)

Joker, did you download the blockchain zip? If so, try doing a clean install of the wallet WITHOUT it, and just leave your machine on for a few hours to sync from scratch. That worked perfectly for me. Also, if you're on Windows, make sure you're not running a 3rd-party firewall that might be blocking the sync.

Everywhere is SC, why do you change it? It's the only good thing from past.

Name change would have the opposite effect, it would be suspicious. "Hey Silk are those of SilkCoin, they only change name"

Don't be afraid about past.

Proud to be NEW SilkCoin! o/

Btw in case:

I too would like a new ticker - SILK or SLK

And call the currency Silk instead of SilkCoin! We need a distinction as clear as possible!

Please add a poll.

I would prefer Silk with the SLK ticker

EDIT: Wallet still not syncing. (10.9.3)

tried almost everything...

Lol  Sorry to explain that... are you new to the Silk threads?

Obviously most brandable.

Nice! Got my 19K coins back! Thanks DEV's

I would not have "coin" in the name..

Silk or Silk camel if you want to keep the SC ticker

If it gets coin in the name I also go with Silkcoin

Team, we immediately need to decide once and for all exactly what the name of our coin is.

Silkcoin
SilkCoin
Silk Coin
Silk

Brand new websites, merchant graphics, social media pages and articles are going live... consistency is critical to successful branding.

Arteleis, if a vote is necessary, let's get one up at the top of this thread ASAP.
Personally, I think Silkcoin is the most elegant.

Ben

Wallet for it looks so nice ! I will start mining it and maybe even buy some.

now i won't be a bagholder
