For those unaware, the first Silkcoin vote has expired. We were voting on the voting platform url and i believe the winner was vote.silkcoin.io , maybe the dev team will make a formal announcement
The new vote is up in the wallet and we are now voting on what the POS% should be.
"Description: We would like to increase the rewards (stake) for the upcoming crowd funding platform as outlined for development purposes at first nature."
Options are to keep it at 2%, increase to 5% or increase to 10%.
I assume the goal is to increase the amount earned while staking to help fund projects and development.
What is everybody's thoughts on increasing the stake percentage? If more silk is rewarded doesn't this increase the supply of silk and decrease the price? Does increasing the stake % create higher inflation or am I thinking about this wrong? Let's talk this out, maybe make a list of pros and cons

New Client works great!!
The voting feature is awesome. Great things ahead for SILK as this evolves.
Will we be able to vote on more than one thing at a time? It would be cool to see all the issues/agendas being voted on

And also in saying that, the voting assets will be decided by silk council, which is currently in formation to provide full public transparency of all funds paid for development.
The assets will be chosen by council based on public opinion.
There is much work to do still. (-;
I understand you but basically we're just recreating what we see not to work in the real world. By giving vote per silkcoin capacity we're giving the minority the right to lead the vote. I don't know. I think this is a really important point. Maybe I'm too idealistic because I believe in the disruptive power of BTC and cryptocurrencies. We have something valuable in our hand and continuing the old order will not help us in my opinion. I repeat that's really hard to find a suitable and innovative solution given these conditions. Example: One's an anarchyst: there will be election. He has choices (X party, B party, F party and so on) but he doesn't feel represented because he believes in anarchy. What is he going to do? He will not vote beacuse he sees that no matter of his choice he's gonna lose anyway. Silkcoin related example: Please don't misunderstand me, now we're voting on a website name. But one day we might vote for something more relevant. And yes of course now we're testing the platform. If we take the previous example I made and I know that there's a quite long rich list I might not going to vote since my voting "power" is so little compared to that minority. Then it seems to me we're gonna have an aristocracy here. Which can be fine since I could trust the devs supposedly they have the biggest bags. But of that I can't be certain, we might have everything or everyone behind these addresses. I don't know if you can see what I mean but, for the last time, recreating a lobbying system in here is not gonna work. I do believe that cryptocurrency must evolve in a complete different way from things like banking system, democracy and so forth. But, maybe, as I said I'm really too idealistic. My 2 silk  The way I have always hoped that voting would work is where the process of voting actually raises the funds for the development that is being voted on and people invested in the idea get to pick which one gets funded in the end. The reason for voting in this ecosystem is to direct development. The funds raised goes towards the winning idea. The people who are most invested gets to make the decision about which one wins. We have to build this ecosystem in a way that it builds and protects itself. Here is one explanation of the idea: Say I have 10 000 SC. Now I can choose to set a goal. For the example, my set goal is "Reward developer to create an alternative wallet interface that has a pink background." I choose how much I want to invest in the goal. I decide it is important to me to have a pink background so I pick 100%. You decide a timeframe, in this case I expect the development will take 6 months so that is what I choose. Now I have a "staking goal". In essence the idea itself is staking. The goal now appears in a different "goal" tab similar to NxtAE. For the next 6 months all the SC I earn from staking(100%) goes into an account linked to this goal. Other people look at the "goal" I posted and some think that it is a great idea. Bob for example wants to support it and get a vote on the result and who gets to program it, but he is also interested in other things so he just sets his participation at 50%, now 50% of all SC he earns from staking for the next 6 months goes to this "goal" account. In the mean time 3 developers see that people are invested in this and quite a few SC is rolling in. All SC raised is coming from staking, but if quite a few people do this, it can accumulate quite quickly. In the mean time a developer/coder looks at this idea and thinks "Hell this will be simple to do." The developer starts coding and sends 1 SC to the account and logs as a potential winner of the project. Now in the tab you can see: 1. the goal description 2. how many people have invested and how much % 3. how much SC is invested and how much is projected to accumulate at 6m 4. which devs have signed up to try reach this goal At the end of the 6 months there might be 1000 SC in the account. About 20 of those SC is interest that I diverted from my staking (100%). Now close to the end of the period I look at the products developed by the different devs. I like option A by Dev named pinkismyfavorite, the most and vote for her. Everyone casts their different votes and it gets weighed by the % of their staking weight and contribution that they chose at the start. The aim is to create a feedback system that will direct the energies of developers and stimulate continuous growth. Anyone can volunteer an idea. Anyone can code a solution and the ecosystem keeps growing in the direction decided by the community. Open source, community directed, decentralized development.The cream rises to the top. I agree, I don't like the idea of lobbies and "silk council" leaders. Let the system grow and govern itself. Jacqul has a grand idea. We should take time to think about how to implement something like this. A council maybe needed to make decisions in the interim, but "open source, community directed, decentralized development" should be the goal. Jacqul, can you list the steps of your proposed process? We need a flow chart! haha I've interpreted it as follows: 1) Bob has an idea to better the community/ecosystem 2) Bob lists his idea and donates money to make it happen 3) Other people see his idea and like it so they donate some money 4) All of these donations are staking in a wallet 5) Someone completes the requested task 6) The person or group of people that deliver the best product wins the bounty This is kind of like the system that exists. Silkcoin has over 100K silk offered in bounties but not even half of it has been claimed. Will a system like the one you propose get people more involved? I hope so. Maybe it will bring everything to life. People could see the votes/donations/silk coming in. They could see new ideas rise to the top, develop, and pay out. That's what people move to. The money. Can you clarify this, "Everyone casts their different votes and it gets weighed by the % of their staking weight and contribution that they chose at the start." |

If you were the person who just sent me some Silkcoins, just a little bit ago.. Thank you!
Such are great community here. Silkcoin truly has one of the most honest, humble, and dedicated communities in crypto. Mike comes in here and we throw a couple thousand silk at him. Pull up a chair, brother, stay awhile! CryptoJohn, welcome back friend. Would some one take time out and explain me, what new development is coming on Silkcoins path? I see few people commenting, but nothing pinpoint what development.
Sorry Jaipagare, sometimes we forget that not everybody is in the silkcoin google hangout. Email hanzlambrecht@gmail.com and ask him to add you to the conversation. There are hundreds of more pages there where you can see the development in progress. There is no Silkcoin "dev". Members of the community donate their time and expertise working together for the greater good. We've been there man. We've been from the bottom, to the top and back down. The truth stayed behind and did what it took to survive. Some of us rewrote the code, some built the new website, others did graphic design, organization, donations, multipool, voting systems, wrote articles, whatever we could do. We have all built a new foundation that grows stronger everyday. In development: dedicated multipool, updated wallet, in-wallet voting system and encrypted messaging. The new wallet being released has a voting system that will allow the community to vote on direction. A voting system will allow us to move forward with intent. Kind of like a brain, like consciousness. It gives us, the community, the economy, the ecosystem (what ever you want to call it) a meaning, a structure. We can now have vision, grow and evolve rapidly from here. The encrypted messaging system is in final testing. This will allow the community to have conversation and discourse inside the wallet, inside the ecosystem. I'm telling you friends, this is about to get exciting! For me the natural extension of blockchain technology is towards online identity and voting.
Spending money is after all a form of voting and impetus for evolution in a capitalistic economy.
My reasons for ongoing interest in Silkcoin summarized for myself and others:
1. community take over
2. proof of stake
3. voting
If Silkcoin has a feedback mechanism in the form of project voting and a mechanism for designation of funds to projects based on staking weight and decided by voting, then it turns into something else completely.
At that point it turns into a system that creates itself.
What I hope it creates itself into is this:
A system for immediate, frictionless and secure payments peer to peer.
A system for persistent vendor identity, feedback and communication, none of it requiring trust.
A system for collating and consolidating community ideas and so direct incentive driven projects with built-in rewards on delivery.
What I hope the result will be:
A new way to communicate and transact, less wasted time and resources, more space for community and creativity.

also beyond that.. any fiat corporate takeover should not be embraced by the crypto community anyways. congrats though to mintpal devs selling their unsecure platform. hopefully they got a good piece of moolahs fiat
There are rumors about Silkhalo and NightTrader. Any updates on that? What about the updated wallet and voting platform? |
