Well, That's Crypto :-\
Wow, we are kind of late into the ICO to be announcing changes. That said, a name change is probably a good idea.

Lets get on with it, I'm ready to launch many stormnodes  Grin

Go on then, change the name. Darkcoin did it, others did it already. The Market has short memory so this will not even be remembered one day. That's a pity though: I personally started to like the camel.

Yes the market has short memory people will forget about silkroaddrugs.

However, as the world evolves we have to Adapt and Evolve too, and this is one of the many things that we have to Change in order to continue the Journey and not Drown standing, if it'll be something else instead of camels, then so be it!

IMPORTANT NEWS - 15th Oct 2016

After the work completed on Silk, DarkSilk and Weaver over the course of the last two years, it has become apparent that no matter the quality of our codebase, technology or team, the bad connotations tied to the name Silk and the image of the Camel are hugely detrimental and are simply holding any progression from happening in the business world or with other projects.

Many businesses and investors have shown a real interest in the vision and aims of the team and the possibilities we have presented them with the two independent blockchains and platform, however, when the word Silk is mentioned the deal is off and they no longer wish to invest or show further interest due to the fear of having their reputation or company associated with the name.

To advance this project and complete business deals, partnerships and attain contracts to provide blockchain solutions, it is required there is a rebrand to match the professional and focused direction the team wishes to take this project.

We as a team believe the community would want to see this two-coin system succeed and have invested into this project not just for the name it holds, but the team behind the project itself.

The original technology promised will remain with just one change to the decentralised marketplace, it is not being removed but being adapted to function within the focused direction we are heading, Stormnodes will be available and the ICO will also payout as promised.


This is a joke right? You guys should fix your mobile site before rebranding..  baby steps kids.

guys.. i had just come to notice that Darksilk is going to be a stable coin...
so in this term "Stable": is it stable as it wont be volatile? or stable as it will be fix in certain price?

And also... if i send darksilk without the weaver application.. will it still in "stealth mode" because.. i read : in other to get the stealth function, we need to pay for monthly subscription.

Indeed, non-volatile and stabilised, but not fixed/capped.

The standalone DarkSilk wallet will have the ability to utilise "Stealth Addresses".

thx for the quick reply...
i had another question...

there will be 90 million darksilk in total supply...
while only 4million darksilk is instamined where 1.528.000 came from the ICO...

soo.. where rest 86million darksilk came from?
ty

Your confusing total supply ever to be produced with available supply in circulation.

oh i see i get what u mean.. so 90darksilk is the total supply ever to be produced..

If i am not mistaken as i had just register: to participated in the ICO.. we can either deposit in Bitcoin or Silk right?
so what is the different if i deposit in Bitcoin or Silk (which i could buy using Bitcoin)?

and the 71BTC collected so far which is display on the ICO page, is the total amount of people invested in Bitcoin alone or both (Btc+Silk) somehow? IF not...  how to know how much total Silk, people had invested?

whoa, that IS a big one.

tho it's totally understandable the reasoning, silk is what it is, if it were family feud the top answer would be "road", it's what people associate right away :/

in that regards, will you offer those who maybe RESPECTFULLY choose NOT to pursue their investments due to this rather large change a full refund b4 ICO end?

Best Wishes, as far as i'm concerned a camel moving forward by any other name....

We believe that people who have invested into the ICO have invested into the team and overall vision and not the name itself. The ICO investment and what it delivers, will be delivered upon.

DarkSilk will launch on November 5th, Stormnodes will be available, markets will open and everything will go ahead as normal.

The rebrand is planned out thoroughly and with a lot of control and professional management. Marketing for the new project will begin and information released well before the wallets, platform and websites undergo any namechange.

I agree with you 100%.  

The ability to attract investors and business contracts supersedes loyalty to the name or the Camel (but I like the Camel too).  
I have no plans to change my investment in Silk/DSilk going through the rebrand.  Once I had transferred my coins from Poloniex to Weaver and they were swapped to the new Silk, I could have sold at breakeven or a profit the whole time.  I have 100% of the swapped Silk sitting here staking.  My original plan when I found out about the swap was to swap the coins and then sell them.

After reading all the information available, I decided to hold, and I continue to hold because of the technology and the team behind it.  I did not hold and I am not buying what I am buying because of the name of the coin.  That would pretty much be ridiculous.  You buy (or you should be buying), or better yet invest in the technology and features that are behind the coin.  As far as I’m concerned the coin and coin name is merely a transfer medium.  On a consumer level it may be nice to have a cool name, on a business level where integrity and reputation matters,  you cannot bring any baggage with you and you have to face it; Silk / DarkSilk had baggage in the public eye from a legitimacy point of view.

Look at the Chime project for example… millions of patient id’s…. you’re a director or CTO for a medical facility; are you going to even entertain the thought of using technology related to a cytpro-currency  even remotely associated, if only name similarity to secure patient Id’s?  I wouldn’t.

Again, I agree with the rebranding.  It will only add to the value and legitimacy of the technology and a much wider acceptance.

Hi
On 13/10 I withdraw my silks from Poloniex to silknetwork.org wallet.
The withdraw status on Poloniex is complete.
But I don't know why my balance is 0 yet.
Someone can help me?
Thks.

Have you checked your address in the explorer?  There is a link a few pages back.  If the transaction is in the explorer, you should be good.  It take a bit but has gotten a lot faster.


Yeah, I can see the transaction in explorer...the hash...
Maybe it's only a little slow...

You should be good then.  Give it a little more time.  They do verify the original coins and that takes a little time, but for us, it's worth it.

Wow!!! Big one
Pity
I used to love the camel, but in our world trust is everything
If the "Silk" name draws back the whole project then we should move on
Any thoughts on the rebrand thing?

The entire project has been already constructed with the rebranding and appropriate names.

The new branding is public and approachable and most importantly, it's about the project as a whole, as a complete package.

This will not require a base58 address change nor hardfork and both coins will still have names that begin with the letters S and D.

The vision that we have and the solutions we want to solve using blockchain technologies cannot be done with the name we currently have.

Investors are interested in our algo, methodology, incentivised nodes, DAO platform, Weaver, stability and privacy/anon functions.

But there are bigger plans and solutions we have which simply will not be invested into with the current name. This will be the main focus of the rebranded project name, to pursue these said solutions.

Remember that these are but names...  If the future of SLK/DSLK is determined by changing to other names, so be it!

The vision of the team for the future of this project is what separates this from any other crypto ever created, regardless of whatever the project is to be called going forward.
