Hey guys, so blockchain issues have been ironed out?
If so, put up a sell wall if you want out. I'll buy your coins.
I'm selling 101K of my coins at 394 sat. Be my guest. |

Do you guys have a working block explorer? Or should I get one up and running.
It would be good to see the current distribution.
Go for it. It would be nice to get one up and running. |

He's not coming back. I don't think it's that big a deal if he does have control of social media and britcoin.io, we'll just start our own. I suppose he could start slating us through twitter and Facebook if he wanted to be a dick? Ken can 'fork' off  Now we have the problem of who will take the helm? Ok, well still no email, I may resend later. He could start slating the progress of the fork which will either put people off the coin or just confuse people to who the actual Britcoin team are. lol - Does Ken hold a significant amount of britcoins ? I expect he holds a decent stake. It would be in his interest for someone to take over, his coins might be worth something then. |

So when is the swap going to take place?
No set date as of yet. Once the systems are ready then dates will be announced. Looking forward to it. Is the white paper complete? I’m expecting a good read |

I don't even know why people act so naive.
Its simply a matter of a guy who had an idea and thought it would be easy, so he made a lot of claims and hype, but once he got down to it, realized it would not be quite so easy. Besides , exactly what is the point of torrentz + cryptocoins ? Perhaps torrent + cryptography, but not a coin. For you to actually make this work , you need a way to monetize content in a way that will result people actually opting to buy/upload, maybe in collaboration with a original content provider, you could get somewhere, but not as current.
Just some thoughts.
I disagree with you on the possible uses of crypto and torrents. The fact that torrents could be put onto a blockchain and there's not a god damn thing the MPAA or any other organisation could do, is a billion dollar idea. This is why I have kept my coins, just in case the Dev does pull it off. What is this thing called MPAA? HAHAHAHA billion dollar idea??? Piracy ? Paying for piracy of shit i can get free? You really haven't researched file sharing. Go take a closer look at what file sharing is really like beyond the pages of TPB. There already exist paid torrent services, featuring blistering speeds and blinding methods that make it impossible to tell who downloaded what. What part of this exactly is a billion dollar idea, in fact, convince me this is a million dollar idea. I live in the UK where the government has told ISP's to block torrent sites. It's now increasingly harder for your average Joe to use torrent sites, thanks to organisations like the MPAA and others lobbying governments. Torrents on the blockchain via a search function in the wallet would solve this. Let's also take freedom of speach into consideration also. Let's say I made a video that spoke out about the government or had some whistle blower info I needed to get out, then torrents on the blockchain would be the best amd safest way of me staying private and asking sure that the message could not be taken down. See, the thing is you cant put a real torrent on the block chain. all it takes is one to gum up the chain. If you instead resort to links only, then you have to worry about torrent availability , share speeds and everythng else current torrents do. so....why the additional coin ? The Dev is trying use magnet links on the blockchain. He also plans to give part of the PoS reward to seeders and uploaders, thus fixing the flaw with the torrent network (lack of seeders), hence the coin. Edit: when you think about it. If the Dev can pull it off, crypto and torrents are the perfect marriage. |

I didn't sign anything, just a written agreement that he owns the domains and accounts etc. You're right that no one can can truly "own" Britcoin since it's a open source p2p network, so I guess we could just fork and move forward with it I guess.  No reply off Ken as of yet, so a fork may be best. No-one can truly own a decentralised currency but controlling the main assets (i.e. The exact name domain, social media etc) can cause disruption. He's not coming back. I don't think it's that big a deal if he does have control of social media and britcoin.io, we'll just start our own. I suppose he could start slating us through twitter and Facebook if he wanted to be a dick? Ken can 'fork' off Now we have the problem of who will take the helm? |

~24 hours until 365 days of development has been reached (depending upon your timezone)
365 days of :  |

"development"
Ha good one. This is the worlds longest practical joke. |
|

Does anyone know Ken personally, do they have a contact number for him?
Wish I could help with that but I've only got his email address. Guess we have to wait until he gets back, if he doesn't then maybe start a new coin with a different name? I wish we could use Britcoin, but like bates said it would cause big problems should Ken one day decide to start things up.. But then again there aren't any IP/copyright claims made on "Britcoin" so who knows. Did you actually have a contract saying that you sold Britcoin to Ken? I was under the impression that a P2P payment network isn't owned by anyone. |

PS ltex, those 5000 auros are a small fraction of my holdings bro  You must have big penis  |

What if he does not come back? I can't see it myself.
That is a risk you/we take. Think if we take Britcoin and grow its value by X amount - More possibility he could come back? [/quote Would we want him back? I think he gave up the right to captain this ship. |

We don't have to use his site. I don't see ken coming back any time soon.
Would we would need github or could we start our own?
What we need most is a captain at the helm. Any takers?
No we don't have to use his site but think of it like if this if we plod on with Britcoin development and help it progress and Ken does decide to come back, what if he releases his own development on Britcoin, there will be conflict and this will confuse the market, it has happened many times before hence why some coins change their name or just start their own We can start our own or develop Britcoin further eitherway I hope Ken does reply! What if he does not come back? I can't see it myself. |

[quotKen coming backuthor=batesresearch link=topic=1061026.msg13187206#msg13187206 date=1449603469] The only half decent names I could find were britcoin.co and britcoin.online.
What do you guys think?
Britcoin.co is ok, what worries me is if we don't have control of the 'main domains' should Ken decide to kickstart Britcoin again we will have a huge conflict [/quote] Here's a thought, what exactly does Ken control? Twitter, Facebook. Github and britcoin.io. Would we would need github or could we start our own? I really don't see him coming back, it been months. What we need most is a captain at the helm. Any takers? |

I think it would be much better to build off what we have with Britcoin, like we have a tested network, branding and a decent internet footprint (articles etc). I hope Ken will let us know what's up, whether he's going to take this project further or not. Would be a shame to see this fade in to nothing.
It will be indeed, seems like Britcoin had some great ideas, ideas we could build on! Come on Ken Any update from "Ken"do Nagasaki? Ahhhhhso! Why would anyone "takeover" a coin, then disappear and remove everything from the web? Don't you think it's all a bit bizarre? Hopefully Ken works for HM Treasury and they are going to use Britcoin as the main coin in a UK based digital currency economy, Ahhhhso! No update yet. It is hard when a person takes over a coin as opposed to a community, its also very bizarre as the domain hasn't expired for Britcoin.io and the website was live ( https://web.archive.org/web/20150403215342/http://britcoin.io/) but is now dead I still have the website files, so if worst comes to worse we can get it online on a different domain.. Sadly all the good domains are taken, and I assume no one wants to drop some cash on buying the .com or .co.uk Btw, I will look in to adding Britcoin to CryptoMate.co.uk, replacing NXT perhaps. But I would need to know that there is someone "at the helm" so to speak who's driving this project forwards. I will pay for the domain if we can get someone to take the helm. Nice to see your still around Will7iam. |

Just so people know what will happen in terms of launch: Weaver with the Silkcoin(SILK) to Silk(SLK) swap will launch along with the new Silk. At the same time DarkSilk will enter prelaunch. 30 days later the old Silkcoin(SILK) will be removed from exchanges and replaced with the new Silk(SLK). At the same time, all the features of Weaver will unlock and become available, along with DarkSilk launching. Phase 1 of the DarkSilk/Weaver crowdfunding will then begin, details will be released for this in the prelaunch phase of DarkSilk. Oh and Silkcoin(SILK) addresses will be snapshotted along with their balances just prior to the swap starting. This means any purchases or SILK mined after the snapshot will be worthless, WORTHLESS I tell thee  Does that mean if I leave my Silkcoin on the exchanges it will automatically be converted to the new Silkcoin (SLK)? Thanks! No, because the swap is taking place on Weaver. You will need to withdraw your Silkcoin(SILK) from the exchange, login to Weaver and swap. Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification. This project seems to be shaping into something great. I have to agree, this could in the top 10 on coimarketcap, wish I got here earlier, glad i'm here now though. Are you f*kin kidding me? We'll be in the top 5 Sorry for corase sentence I'm gonna hold you to that. |
