[OLD THREAD] Silk Network: Silk, DarkSilk and Weaver

[xnyz]

Awesome.  The mods deleted all my posts in regards to arteleis getting fucked by this team.. hows your release going you slaves? Make it on bittrex yet? Sell your coins before its too late.  War is coming.

i'm not surprised dude it's you!

[Delita Heiral]

Rawx recently launched, it seems pretty nice so far (if polo's etherlust is an actual issue)

I would like to mine... when mining starts!?

Once DarkSilk is released, read the OP it covers all.

Yes, I'm curious as to why they are hesitant to reply. Their support service is rather slow imo.

So where are we at?
We are in the final stages of communication with Bittrex to make sure we have an exchange at Silk launch.
TraK4Ubitl if you still want to have that conversation, this week would be the right time. We are also here for you, remember.

ICO over?

Not happening.  Silk takeover is dead.

Far from it, the devs are still working hard to make it happen.

[PS1987]

Sry to ask but I dont really get it.
I bought Silkcoin 1 month ago on poloniex. As far as I understood I have to convert them into SLK to get the possibility to buy DARKSILK. This is only possible on Weaver which is not released yet?
In other words, my stacked Silkcoin on Polo are basically useless yet? If yes what can I do with them except trading?
Thanks for clarification.

Greetings Phil

You can transfer them to a local wallet and stake them until the swap, or you can buy something from someone thatll accept it.  If youre in the market for nootropics, i'll accept it.

They just launched im sure theyre busy with real issues, if their coinlist stays short longterm id def like to see silk on it

Maybe he meant polo's support. They're leagues ahead of most other exchanges, I think it's worth waiting a little longer to hear back from them.

[Delita Heiral]

Polo has huge volume but are very opaque in practice.  The way they handled the etc drop showed absolute disregard for users over fee intake.

Said this a while back.  Polo is busy with ETC/ETH money makers.  Nothing else matters to them at this point.  Maybe a couple months down the road from now.  But if it is imperative to get on an exchange with the release, honestly I wouldn't hold my breath for Polo.  Unfortunately Polo is now in a world where money talks.  Didn't use to be that way, but hey whatever, to each his own.

I don't know what makes you think this wasn't always the case though. They're running a business and whether you agree with it or not listing ETC didn't suddenly change that in some way. They've always been primarily money-oriented. Still, there's a prestige associated with being listed on Poloniex that the team here fully deserves plus it means SLK reaching a wider audience (and higher volume). We've all been waiting for more than a year now, I don't think waiting another week or two to arrange being listed on the biggest exchange in the world is too great a sacrifice. Then if there's still been no reply they can look at alternatives.

The Silk code is ready.

The team is waiting for a response from Poloniex and we have already messaged Bittrex.

We are a professional team and the last thing we are going to do is pre-ejaculate and ruin everything because we got overexcited or pressured into releasing early.

We have a lot of documentation to release to the community, two very in-depth sites which are packed with information, press-releases to be released and a lot of other stuff going on behind the scenes in preparation for launch.

I don't work for near 2 years to ruin everything in 2 days.

Everyone will wait until Silk Network is ready to release. Which will be made clear and very public.

You will need to convert Silkcoin to SLK yes. DarkSilk however is a seperate coin, which can be bought/sold on any market that will carry it. SLK will be of vital importance to the Silk Network, you've invested into the backbone of Silk Network's success.

Of course SLK, like any other coin, could be used as a medium of exchange.

Listing ETC without any notice and stripping it out of ETH lending orders on launch is an opportunistic and borderline illegal 'business' practice.  We have to be there because thats where the volume is, period, not because its magical and prestigious-  we're already listed there ffs.

Ok so the best is to wait and be patient for further updates

All I am doing is calling a spade a spade.  It may be hitting nerves, but when I say something, it isn't for shits and giggles.  When I say good luck in Polo getting back to you, that means exactly that...  This is not meant to push the team to release, it's giving everyone a god damn insight.  See the forest for the trees, then talk to me later about it when you realize I was right.

EDIT:  The Polo delay will give the team lots of time to complete everything else...

What do you mean by stripping it out of ETH lending orders?

[Delita Heiral]

I mean that polo and associates bought up eth lends, then listed etc, then kept the etc all the lended eth would have yielded to users, then shorted all the eth as it crashed.

It's going to catch up to them.  Basing the company in the US and then doing shady shit!  That's a ton of money!

Remember all of you, the Feds can shut that shit the fuck down anytime they want!  Period, end of story...

But yea, can't leave out the fact that it's the number one exchange.

We set aside some time for Poloniex to make a response, but not beyond reason. And we are communicating with Bittrex to make sure we have entrance to a market asap.

Go with Bittrex. I have had no issue with them in the years I have used them. Any issues I've had have been resolved within hours...longest a day. Polo on the other hand is shady shit site for sure. I'm sure everyone has had different experiences, but I will take bittrex over poloniex any day. They have never fucked me.
