As long as you send first

Do you except carrier pigeon as a form of communication? 

I am happy to talk with ANYONE on Skype, Wire, Telegram, Facebook, Twitter, email, PM or whatever other form of communicae they wish to choose.

There is no set date, but I am aiming and the team is aiming to have DarkSilk and Silk ready codewise within 2-4 weeks. Silk will launch on once DarkSilk is also ready for launch.

We do not want anything holding back the release of DarkSilk or Silk or the timing we have planned.

Which is, release Silk, open Weaver, start crowdsale for DarkSilk, complete swap/closure of Silkcoin to Silk and finally launch DarkSilk.

I have no doubt that you are a honest person. Iv seen your other work and that have been good. My concerns have been the silk coin and ppl buying into it. My posts have not been removed from this thread. That you have a company in the backend is something that I think you maked to show that you take silk development serious. I cant see any other problem here than the value of the silk coin and after the info given here it is up to everyone to consider if they want to buy or not. I will read this thread and are interested in the darksilk coin.

Great answers, just a curious question and I know you said no ETA etc but about the new ANN, when can that be expected, are we talking 1-2 weeks or more?

Comply to who? When we do not need to pay corporation taxes or any taxes for that matter. We do not require regulation and ID's WILL NOT BE NEEDED.

Silkcoin is not being forced off the Poloniex exchange. Silkcoin is swapping to Silk and the market will remain on Poloniex.

Weaver is not an exchange.

You seriously need to stop posting and START READING.

Also in terms of costs so far to us Silk Network, $16000 and climbing.

Have we launched, no.
Have we held an ICO, not yet.
Have I simply asked for donations, yes.
Have investors approached me, yes.
Have I sought investment, no.

Even when investors have approached me or approach me, I think it is quite obvious that I am not out seeking money or a quick dime (to coin (good pun) an American phrase).

I've chosen to answer each post individually. You took the effort to post and I will take the effort to answer back to your questions.

We are fighting for freedom, more than you might imagine, we are not what you think, we are the people. I have 0 background of holding a lot of money, I hold 0 BTC and I hold 16 Silkcoin (no exaggeration). I am truly not in this for the money, I am in this to liberate people from the clutches of corporations, banks and government. However, I also realise we live in THIS world and sometimes the game has to be played.

No the Silk Network isn't joining/working with/teaming up with Microsoft, we are implementing a tiny piece of code which allows users of the Azure cloud to have a one press setup of a node for Silk or DarkSilk, that is so bloody easy to do it is quite frankly funny at how misinterpreted this has been.

We formed a Ltd (not a corporation) for Silk Network to enable us to hold trade accounts to purchase GPU's and various other hardware at trade prices to benefit you the user and enable you to purchase and mine at very reasonable prices, also as we have investment I (Spencer Lievens) thought it best to have a legal entity for Silk Network. However we do not hold a bank account and do not process FIAT. So this means NO ID cards.

One question back....are you a Monero investor?

^^^Can auth this is Gregory Betz of the Silk Network development team^^^

I am one of the Silk Network Developers and a partner in Silk Network Ltd. I live in the USA and so do other partners and team members. We plan to abide by all laws and regulations internationally, nationally, and locally. Do you live in the UK or the EU? If so, then you have some of the more robust privacy laws. See this page: https://www.loc.gov/law/help/online-privacy-law/uk.php. Also, having a crowdsale for a cryptocoin or any other type of cryptographic token is not considered to be any type of security and is not regulated as such (in the US, as far as I know). The IRS defines cryptocoins as property and they are taxed as such, but only if the coin or token is widely and easily traded for US Dollars directly, in fact. We are working very hard to do this right as law abiding citizens and as a law abiding company. I have personally lost a very, very large sum of money in one of the many scams that have occurred in the past few years, and it pretty much destroyed most of 2015 for me. I learned a very important (and expensive!) lesson. Because of that experience I know how important it is to have honesty in crypto. The world of crypto is a total minefield and we, the Silk Network, are the minesweepers creating one of the most important paths to crypto success for decades to come. You will be very happy in the near future if you got SLK and DRKSLK in 2016. Mark my words. We are the real deal.

Firstly it doesn't say its a corporation at all. It is incorporated as a PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY.

An Ltd is the same as an LLC in America or a BV in The Netherlands.

We do not handle FIAT through the Weaver, so NO ID cards are required whatsoever.

Silk Network will support the Azure cloud, yes, but that just means you can press a button and a node gets built and set up for you. All these people thinking cryptocurrencies are "joining" Microsoft or "teaming" up with Microsoft are very much mistaken.

My objective from the start is to protect the user, the network and to hold privacy and decentralisation as the continual goal for all aspects of Silk Network.

I just consider the last few posts as uneducated, un-researched and quite frankly as FUD, whether the poster intended it as FUD or not.

Why would you need ID to change ur money between SLK/DRKSLK/BTC? Makes no sense to even ask this imo. And adding "I think monero is better now.. why why why" I would just ignore ur post lol, impossible take it serious.

And having a company with real persons behind it makes it look better and more serious. Im just wondering where the scam would be? SILKCOIN is there to buy, there haven't been any ICO or such yet so I dont know why you even bother.

It is more than most people would ever show working on a project like this. GJ and keeping doing ur good work! 

Well, Silk Network is not just a name, it is a registered UK Ltd company with shareholders and staff.

Okay, you may have a great background. Just for some investors, they would prefer an established entity. Such is Bittrex.. I'm not trying to be a prick.. Just trying to do some due diligence and look out for others.

I would like to think after working in the cryptographic currency world now for 3 years, being public, working on DarkSilk and Silk for a year publicly, not releasing and fully testing/developing prior to launch would instil a certain level of trust with myself and the development team behind the Silk Network.

Is Weaver up and running? I.e. established If so you have a URL. Otherwise, it puts a lot of trust in the folks behind the coin.

As of now we have 25BTC buy support.

People  are starting to see the potential of this coin

Significant amount of BTC jumped in play...  Looks like others want in now...   

Nice bit of price movement on Poloniex.
