So what I know now There is a different Silkcoin chain: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/silk/TraK4Ubitl has mentioned the danger of a fork many times. Not a fork but a redirect, 'railroading' ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Some websites have opened up that are not affiliated to us: http://silkcoin.us/http://silkcoin.io/![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.badass.sx%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F09%2FBAsmall2.png&t=665&c=ZlrbfFBsFNpKXw) An avatar some might remember BadAss is a long time Silkcoin member who also has access to the old Silkcoin trello board. An important member who did good things in 2014 etc. Interesting to watch this play out. *applause* Well if it is you, then please claim your name with proof so we are all certain who we are dealing with. That would be a good step. Phantom menace, or harmless ghosts...

I get the infinite swapping period. I just can't believe some douche bag would do that. Hopefully the fake one doesn't go anywhere. Just saying that dumbass trick could fool people IF it makes it to an exchange. There are plenty of exchanges that take in shit coins.... Man I hope people stick to this thread!!!
Yes that would be a temporary disturbance. As long as the Old Silkcoin chain is emptied then the coins are either in SLK or Silkcoin.new. In the end Silkcoin.new will die out.

Wow can't believe someone would create another Silkcoin... Perhaps malicious intent to confuse people?
We need to convert to SLK asap...
We have an infinite swapping period. Long time members might not get the message in time or act in misguidance. Let all that read this thread be warned by this. No one should feel pressured and act in haste. We have an infinite swapping period, if you are uncertain wait until this is played out. In the end i'm certain everyone will opt for SLK, its future is just too solid. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Within two weeks I will publish what the direction will be for SLK. Ending speculation about the importance of SLK to the Silk Network and explain why its techological prowess has no bearing at ALL. Buddy. Youre too late. Time is irrelevant. Whatever the Silkcoin copy is, it's a waste of time. All silkcoin needed was a new Chain.. voila! Two weeks, i'll let you know.

So someone has created another coin 25 days ago called Silkcoin.
Also paid for a blockchain explorer on CryptoID.
Seems very pointless.
Not traded and only 14 or 18 addresses in total on the network.
traK do you have any ideas? In any case im not concerned. SLK is not to be a stand alone coin, in other words this 'Silkcoin' chain will not be compatible with our future. It's just a waste of time, energy and resources. If in any case a schism takes place between old and new bagholders, in which bagholders are forced to chose between Silkcoin and SLK. We should be able to do a double swap. It's a hassle but we need to look out for our investors: Silkcoin(old) -> Silkcoin(new) -> SLK(our) Of course the new chain would need to have an individual responsible for it, and he would need to cooperate to prevent double spending.

So.... the only thing this team has launched (a block explorer) is currently down??? And some shadowy guy paid for another explorer with the same logo as the scam coin Silkcoin? Ohh how the plot thickens.. always a good sign to be moving backwards instead of forwards.. CMON! Love you too ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

Can I get some SILK to play with/stake? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

5 btc volume on polo recently. Last time it was almost 30. Silkcoin trading is becoming very strange to me. Does anyone have an idea? I mean there's no reasone why 5btc should appear in the books unless something is moving under the hood.
Someone put up a 2.7 BTC buy at 430 and someone took the opportunity to get out. I don't think there's much else that can be read into it. I mean in a smaller scale it was the same that happened some weeks ago when we saw 30btc volume in single day and it seems to me there was no reason for that as well. Anyway, I missed that buy, thanks for updating. Yeh well there is no work being done on Silkcoin so anyone with a decent mind will take the opportunity to get out. Just depends how long you die hards keep buying into 'dont worry! Our secret plan is coming!' which of course has nothing to do with silkcoin. They gonna swap a broken coin for a substandard coin and use it to prop up Darksilk.. the 'gold' as it's been put. Why everyone keeps buying the broken silver I don't know. If darksilk actually launches I'm in. But farily clear it has nothing to do with silkcoin, the coin being actively traded, which the dev team made very clear there will be absolutely no support for. Whole thing is stupid. It's going to be fun watching you chase the Silk train, thinking it to be broken silver lol. We will reveil in time for you to make a decision and not feel cheated out of Silk thinking we will only be prospecting DarkSilk.

2 BTC until Silk Coin is worthless and needs to be traded in xmr instead of BTC.... is someone purposely driving price down or was it all the bs on this thread that did that....
if it drops, buy more. a low price is temporary. for what we have planned with SLK a higher price is actually necessary. If people are dropping SLK in favor of BTC for the runs or DRKSLK later on... beware in the future SLK will suddenly spike and stay at higher levels.

I suggest no one take what traK4Ubitl says personal. He has no aim so you can't be hit.
About the release, from reading the page it does seem that soft deadlines can not be given. The status is still "when it's done". The drought has been severe, and people want to see something. Expect a ramp up of information to entice the public again. Perhaps our biggest fan will swap his tune as well.
All of us devs have donated 10s or 100s of hours into this project so it is difficult to tolerate his behaviour. I do take it personally when he tells me my commit is worthless. I'm sorry to hear, and I understand it is getting to the lot of you, but the man has no standing. Don't let him be the judgde of your work, he's only out there to frustrate because he lost control over the project. Control that's what it's all about. Politics. The funny thing is back in 2014 I told Arteleis that in order to have a decentralized structure the head needs to be cut off. But now that his head is off and we are decentralising our efforts his puppet comes in screaming faul play. Arteleis should just hang and his followers should accept that. traK4Ubitl, I guess its hard to seperate yourself from your identity/project/child, but it must be done. How else would you achieve decentralisation? The King must truly die and only resurrect in spirit! The underlying theme of this project, for those that can see it, is bloody briliant.

Try and keep our love life out of this thread or you'll upset Spencer.
Yes, so sorry Track and everyone reading this thread. I let jealously get the better of me ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) . I won't drag our personal affairs onto this public forum anymore. Having one troll is enough, having a troll for the troll only plays into his hands. So don't, keep the thread as clean as possible.
Orestes, you got me all wrong I am not part or promoting your silkcoin team. I am for Track. Track can sense slackers and slacking like behavior then lights fires to get movement. Trust me, I have been following since the days of bholzer and mega... hes no joke. listen up and learn or you are a fool. I have a rite to post but I will keep it clean, sorry. Yes you are so dirty sometimes haha I agree! Filthy. Don't worry it will be all over soon enougH and I'll be home. I do sense slackers. But the holy slack isn't available here. True slackers are very intelligent. So far my senses are not tingling with super slack. Only that of slackness. Slackness is not what should be sought after. Slack! Is what is to be beat achieved. So any news in this thread? Or just people bitching about me asking where the hell is a freaking silkcoin update? Has been like 3 years and this coin is functioning on duct tape and rubber bands. More exchanges, more services, a website, an updated client maybe? Where's the basics boys? Where is silkcoin? SubGenius i would say

Wow, so one and the same or two? I'm glad the forum is uncensored and have you guys on board but wouldnt it be better to show yourselves instead of guerilla tactics. Guerilla never conquers, it only destroys. Your claim is that the current development team has usurped the project and turned it into a whorehouse. This could be argued. If you guys are from the days of bholzer and mega then show yourselves and be truthful we will do the same. No reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Is it possible that my wallet isnt syncing?
Absolutely. The silkcoin chain is basically broken and is astounding it hasn't forked yet. I am jealous Track balls, u always writing love letters 2 Spencer about silkcoins and chains. being a bitch to me but, in the end, all said and done, my dick is in your ass! quite Impressive if i can keep you ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Having one troll is enough, having a troll for the troll only plays into his hands. So don't, keep the thread as clean as possible.

"Yes, it does NOT work. Do no merge at this time. Warning, do not merge. Does not work. Just want to review the changes online to see why it is failing. This pull request does not work. It causes a segfault due to Argon2 generating a different genesis block hash each time." Looks great. Why argon2d anyways? It won a competition? It alienates miners except for you guys with all your buddies and cheap GPUs? Sigh goooo Silk! Mooooooon We had a mining algorithm expert (Wolf) select it with specified parameters like number of lanes and memory consumption. I have one crappy GPU in my Linux dev box and the rest SHA and Scypt ASICs humming in the background. How does an Argon2d hash algorithm alienate miners? If successful, there will be ASICs developed. No algorithm is ASIC resistant. You say you want to take over Silk but never offer any meanful input or insight; just coarse critisim. You know what they say about critics? Are you really a great programmer? Where are your commits? As a hardware developer as well, you're almost correct on the algorithm portiion - unfortunately, that only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Tthere's no such thing as ASIC resistance. The CPU you mine on is an implementation of general purpose shit on top of ASIC shit, to put it very simply. Anything a CPU/GPU can do, an ASIC can do better, given enough money. Now, here's where your logic breaks down: The point was never ASIC resistance - it was to make ASIC development and production unprofitable for an extreme amount of time, ideally such that most of the coins have been emitted before this. The cool thing is that everytime traK4Ubitl bashes dev credibility, a credible dev speaks up. In time the chance that the project is not just vaporware becomes 1, even for traK4Ubitl. His grievances, as he mentioned before, are not really with the team. How long until ALL the cards are on the table? Time is not on your side traK4Ubitl!
