Great news about white paper...I am dying to read it too!

That is sad about the extortion.  I heard that was illegal...

Hello to all,

Just a quick update about the white paper.

For those telling they got access to the paper, no one has read a line of it, not even the marketing team .

We will try our best to have it ready for tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will only be ready for tomorrow. (remember I said friday-saturday   )

Last thing, if the white paper is not good enough people will see it and price will drop. So there's absolutely no logic in all FUD talking here, the most logical move if we wanted to sell the premine was selling it when the price was at 8000 when we got on MintPal, or even better sell it before distributing half of it.

Anyway, you'll all be able to judge by yourself the facts when you'll be reading the white paper .

Ps : Just for the info, these FUDers asked to be bribed for their silence. Megaman is asking me 0.5btc to stop fudding and deleting his messages.

Its a great time to buy... price may never be this low again.

I just put in a 5BTC Buy order

OMFG...

You have to see this...

Judge Crypto

It really is special  in here. etc etc etc

I did not realize Camels were so quick

Goodness me, you really do need to brush up on your law. Slander refers to a spoken statement which, as far as I know, hasn't occurred here and Libel requires you to demonstrate that the act was intentionally malicious. Also, if a person can demonstrate that they had a good reason to believe their, claimed libellous, assertion to be true, you'd struggle to find any court in any jurisdiction to swing in your favour.

Anyway, has anyone else noticed how JudgeCrypto keeps posting nothing but massive quotes of things posted some time ago in order to drive the pages away from 'difficult' subjects? Would that not add to your concerns as a holder of SC's?

Let's start by talking about this update.

We listened to all you had to say and tried our best to improve the current wallet and solve all the current bugs and glitches.

*Lot's of UI improvements, fonts more readable, visual glitches solved ui parts finished. Also a few network bugs were solved.
*An unlock button right in your Dashboard, just beside the stacking tutorial for new comers.
*A whole new Market Data tab with MintPal, Bittrex and Cryptsy integrated. You asked for Mintpal and an overview panel, you got it . This is in prevision of the next update built-in exchanger, I'll talk about that later in this post.
*A few IRC bugs solved, as you may have noticed the client was still in construction. No more points instead of spaces and a much better response time.
*And yes we also integrated the "Minimize to taskbar" button on top of the "Minimize to tray" since a lot of you complained about missing it.


Now let's talk about the roadmap.. Most of the time as you have seen in the past we prefer releasing than talking about it for days because announcing great features always bring haters, fudders, impatients and pumpers. But this time I'll let you know a bit more what the current plans are and what the future holds for Silkcoin.

Next Update :

Will be in ~10 days, we will integrate the exchange feature into the market tab and a trading bot is coming but it's not 100% sure it will be included in the next release with trading.
Due to a big community demand games will be integrated in the wallet, at first it will be a simple betting game but we plan to expand this area in the future.
Also a big rework is being done on the IRC tab. After the next update we'll start to have a decent wallet  .

The eco-system :

The release of the white paper is still planned for the end of the week so I will not talk a lot about it this time. If everything goes well we will start the beta phase about 2 weeks after the white paper, the beta should not last for long as the system is already very solid and we're constantly running tests.

For those of you who were criticizing the lack of information, I will still give you the same arguments : we started Silkcoin without talking about the eco-system and did not want to unveil it so soon because we knew without a white paper it would attract fudders & paranoïa. Also a lot of "secrets" are present in this white paper, we want to make sure we're advanced enough on the development side before making it public. But I reassure you, it's not quite finished I'm not making you wait .

Anyway it's been 1 month and 8 days, judge by what you seen. We're at the 5th update and our community is growing stronger everyday, the wallet is now far away from the others and even if you look at our clones they can't even hold the speed of our updates or worse can't even copy our existing features.

Dev Roadmap:

Here is the order of priority and how the most important events of silkcoin are supposed to happen in the next 30 days:

- First the release of the White Paper Friday.
- Followed by a big update including the built-in exchanger and first game
- Private beta for the eco-system will begin
- Then we'll launch the Multi-pool, we're already talking with a few pool managers who are interested in working with us, but we haven't decided yet; We may build it ourself.
- The launch of the Eco-system with social features and decentralized exchanger. For now this is planned in ~1 month, it can be faster but it can also be delayed.
- The launch of the decentralized marketplace, yes we reconsidered it and we will launch the marketplace with a trust system we'll explain later.

The rest of the roadmap is still uncertain regarding timeframes but will include for sure :

- 2FA authentification, our devs have already started the work on double signatures this is not going to be a very long dev so it may come as a surprise feature .
- Blockchain games in the wallet, followed by network games (all betting games, first game will be introduced next release).
- Anon, I would prefer not to talk a lot about it but we've been working for quite a long time now on Zerocoin implementation, it's not finished at all but yet shows promise since we thought it would've been impossible to integrate but we got back on it and found some interesting solutions.. We find most of the other alternatives (the one we can apply like darksend) not interesting.
Once again most of the time I prefer avoiding the subject because it atracts and feeds fudders and also because this is not the main feature, the eco-system is.
- A few other functions for the eco-system we currently looking what we could do without bloating the blockchain. You'll understand soon why we have endless possibilities when you read the white paper .

Well now you know what to expect.

Enjoy the new version, enjoy Silkcoin and good trades to you !

See you Friday for the white paper  

Ps : I'm updating all links with the new wallet

Oh, look, he did it again.^^^^^

Please do quote which law, in which jurisdiction, legislates for shit-talking on the internet?

Until, and if ever, Crypto exchanges are regulated and licensed with the same stringent requirements as fiat markets, it isn't illegal to attempt to manipulate the price, unfortunately, otherwise people like the aforemention, "I haz Whitepaper . . .kidding!" user would be hauled before the authorities to face the consequences.

But, please, by all means, do continue making bold assertions that are baseless but sound authoritative, then you'll fit right in with most other forum users here.

Oh dear, there are some very unstable ppl in crypto... one minute you like Silk the next you are fudding.

Personally I don't think wallet will do much maybe a small influx but the money is in the white paper and then then release of the social network.. Right now we need new ways to spend silkcoin.. Maybe some competitions wouldn't hurt.. Need some buzz.. Anyone got some ideas?? I got a good one but waiting on wulfcastle to find some time to chat..

People don't know what to do because there isn't much to react to right now. I'd say once new wallet comes out along with white paper then things should pick up. If they don't, well, then that's a problem I guess.
