Topic: [OLD THREAD] Silk Network: Silk, DarkSilk and Weaver - page 33. (Read 77057 times)

FYI, orders are building back up.  The market is not naive and knows exactly what is going on.  Let the dust settle first.

cryptotrader26 - you are bringing back memories...  Hell I remember when DASH was first released aka Darkcoin.  Been a long time.  Best one I ever lost in was Cloak.  One of the best PnD ever....  Got steamrolled by that.  You live and learn and move on.

EDIT: Cloak went from a couple thousand sats to close to 700k sats.  That was a PnD.  What happened to Silk was not a real PnD.

I see a lot of negativity floating around Poloniex chatroom.  Folks you need to stick to the forum and get the facts from here, not from someone in a chatroom...

Very good orestes, keep up with the good work!
and about the ninja releases, i fully agree with the idea.. let these weak hands get out.

At the end of the countdown an image was presented, it's up to you what to think of it. Up until that point in time we would let nothing loose about the future of Silk. Although we have been toying with it for some time. Why now? Because we are closer to release, although we can not give firm dates on developer's request. But we do need to take the public into consideration. It is important to let it be known to everyone what the deal is with the Silk Network platform, before release.

It will take time to let everything sink in, I know this. To share information at launch would not give the community the proper time to digest. Even now we are withholding the exact workings of it for several reasons. One being that we do not want others to go the same route, more importantly we do not want to overload the community with imagery and abstract models. That comes later when we all know what to expect.

For now it is important to know that Silk is more than an essential component it's our trump card.

About release dates given by devs, if it didnt come from me, discard it and let them do the dev'ing

Thanks for taking what I said into account Orestes.

Even if you guys came out and said - everything will be released in the next 6 months, that would not give a time/date target and people would keep this on their radar, no hype would be created.

Again, that's hypothetical, but it's about as vague as ninja launches.

There was no talk of release for mid month July.  They talked about a possible July release.  Nothing was ever confirmed.

Could you just answer the question.. what happened at the end of the countdown? This wasn't just your post the devs said release mid this month.. so what was the countdown for?

Not only that, what about the potential with only 50 BTC look what happened. Sooner or later there will be real traction from genuine investors, not taking Weaver into account. We are good, no worries



Thank you, will take this into account. The good thing is we showed potential! We were seen on poloniex, today the bad guy tomorrow the hero.

My recommendation to the Silk team, don't even bother doing anymore news announcements.  I would highly recommend doing ninja release announcements and ninja releases.

It was clearly stated what news was coming out.  This information was taken and twisted especially in the Poloniex chatroom.  The messages were there in plain sight.  Even when trying to correct the misinformation, the hype continued.

No matter what you do, things will always be hyped, always be pumped.  There will always be disappointments.  It is best to just release stuff and let everyone figure it out for themselves than to even mention anything.

As for the release of the DRKSLK ICO, I would again, recommend not saying or mentioning a specific time or date, just post it when ready.

You had good intentions Orestes, but that isn't how it was interpreted apparently.

With ninja releases, the only ones who can be disappointed are those that are late to the party.

This is a lose lose situation...  You give no info, you're the bad guy, you announce information at a specific time/date and you are still the bad guy because you created the "hype bubble" in peoples eyes.

My personal opinion is it doesn't matter to me.  I was in this a long long time ago and my opinion hasn't changed.  Unfortunately yes, the "new investors" may be feeling it but again it's crypto.  How many hundreds of times has this happened where things were hyped and pumped and the newbies get hosed.  Profit takers don't care.  But long term, people need to realize you can still win.

Here's a few examples of long term that played out: Emercoin, Solarcoin, Gamecredits

Silk Network is a long term hold folks.  Profit takers will always be there.  Don't be worried about counting pennies when in the future you'll be counting benjamins....

It means that there are new owners of Silkcoin, 50 btc doesn't just vanish just because people sell.

"Pwice is back to what is was two days agoooo wahhh wahhhhhh I want my welease wahhhhh!"

Sorry to burst your bubbles but this isn't a get rich quick scheme. Take a minute to mull that over and then stop acting like little babies.

Stability throgh Weaver, once it's here

I can see you driving by:



Keep on driving though, we'll be marching, steadily, increasingly, to the goal  

Its a kind of ironic that they want price stability in the weaver
but dont care about the market as it is now.

Little kids playing around in the playground.

We can agree that, in your understanding, that Silkcoin used to be a simple chain brushed aside to be replaced by DarkSilk right?
Can you answer me what Silk is to you when talking about the Silk Network?

I'll run you through to see if you get the picture.

Yeh poor form indeed.   Sorry guess it only appeared that there would be a release today.. me and others must have been mistaken.   So 50 btc or so worth of investors got kicked in the face.  Thats fantastic.

  And nobody has stilled explained the great announcement of the day you guys were counting down the hours to? I saw the pretty picture but I didn't notice it saying anything new or definitely not worthy of a countdown...

I agree the tactics that are used are not good for the trust and will shake the "good"people out.
seems like the silk team is very naive and careless about how the markets work and the respons of the public and only fill it with nice words.

We will see what happends, but to invest in it for a longer period of time i;m not sure at this point.

You do not need to insult even if you are upset. Btw Silkcoin is full PoS so no Im not a miner, take the advice and learn something from it instead.

It's still more than 2 weeks ago. I sold most above 1400, I've made a lot of profit and am now gonna buy back. Just buy more if you believe it is worth more.

Pumps n dumps always happen in crypto. If you're not aware of pump n dumps you shouldn't invest in crypto.
