Who won't miss this guy
However, as the world evolves we have to Adapt and Evolve too, and this is one of the many things that we have to Change in order to continue the Journey and not Drown standing, if it'll be something else instead of camels, then so be it!

Go on then, change the name. Darkcoin did it, others did it already. The Market has short memory so this will not even be remembered one day. That's a pity though: I personally started to like the camel.
Yes the market has short memory people will forget about silkroaddrugs. |

Wow, we are kind of late into the ICO to be announcing changes. That said, a name change is probably a good idea. Lets get on with it, I'm ready to launch many stormnodes  |

IMPORTANT NEWS - 15th Oct 2016
After the work completed on Silk, DarkSilk and Weaver over the course of the last two years, it has become apparent that no matter the quality of our codebase, technology or team, the bad connotations tied to the name Silk and the image of the Camel are hugely detrimental and are simply holding any progression from happening in the business world or with other projects.
Many businesses and investors have shown a real interest in the vision and aims of the team and the possibilities we have presented them with the two independent blockchains and platform, however, when the word Silk is mentioned the deal is off and they no longer wish to invest or show further interest due to the fear of having their reputation or company associated with the name.
To advance this project and complete business deals, partnerships and attain contracts to provide blockchain solutions, it is required there is a rebrand to match the professional and focused direction the team wishes to take this project.
We as a team believe the community would want to see this two-coin system succeed and have invested into this project not just for the name it holds, but the team behind the project itself.
The original technology promised will remain with just one change to the decentralised marketplace, it is not being removed but being adapted to function within the focused direction we are heading, Stormnodes will be available and the ICO will also payout as promised.
Nice- Are you taking name suggestions? |

Yes the market has short memory people will forget about silkroaddrugs. silkroad was also involved in selling murder for hire and human trafficking, not just illegal drugs. I like the camel and silk/desert theme but, with a movie being made, it will take some time to forget. Who want to live with that stain for years? It was difficult for me to argue to keep the name when I constantly need to explain that this project has nothing to do with the darknet and/or illegal markets. It is bad for business. |

The direction and focus of the project are held up with the new presentation/appearence of the new branding/names. The final logos are being created currently and paperwork will be released, followed by a new site/domain and the eventual rebranding finishing in 2017. |

Ironic thing is that China is currently reopening the original silk road trade route.
The origins of the silk road were not illegal.
Just because a darknet (that used bitcoin) was called silk road, all of a sudden that term has a bad stigma?
Really sad really, as the whole SILK name was just that, a reference to global trade.
Its not like Monero and DASH are not being attracted to darknets...

Glad to hear the team has already made headway with the rebranding. keep pushing forward |

This. Massive news. Agree with others that people invested in the team not the name. Coins change names all the time. Surprised the feds didn't come knocking on your door at least once really. |

After conversing with CoinMarketCap it has come to light that their figures are in fact correct.
The marketcap displayed for Silk is using the available unlocked (non-staking or unreserved) coins multiplied by the cost per coin.
This shows that 27,634,081 SILK(SLK) are being cradled and protected either in "Reserve" or "Staking" and 16,427,797 SILK(SLK) are not locked or reserved and also not staking.
Excellent to see that a large percentage of holders are in for the long term and happily staking and reserving coin.

It's not because it's entirely premined? Is this 16 million not how much was swapped so far? Where can I find the accounting for the Weaver swaps? Like how many coins have been swapped, address of premine wallet etc? |

Head to the block explorer and locate block 1 and go from there. This is the benefit to a publicly accessible ledger. https://slkexplorer.silknetwork.org |

I finally got a response from CoinMarketCap.  Obviously a large number of coin is held on both Bittrex and Weaver which goes towards the unlocked amounts. We will get reports of what was swapped and what was invested gathered soon after the ICO finishes and DarkSilk is released. |

This is the Weaver wallet?
ST9JQLfesyfuaRKCNJVaatgC9t7BeFixmK
Anyway to get a listing of transactions? Doesn't seem to go past two transactions and says 0 have been sent.
I assume the other big one is bittrex? Or is this in reverse?
How do I find the Weaver transactions?
Don't quote me on this but I believe a reserve and a premine are the same thing. If there is a difference let me know maybe I misunderstand something.

I believe the bigger amount on the 'Top 100' addresses is Weaver and the next biggest is Bittrex. However I am unsure without properly looking. I will ask Matthew for the main wallet address for Weaver to confirm if ST9JQLfesyfuaRKCNJVaatgC9t7BeFixmK is indeed the correct address. Once all the swaps are completed and the ICO finishes we will get together what exactly was invested into the ICO and what exactly was swapped from Silkcoin to Silk. For you to trace all the transactions in Weaver alone would be difficult, not impossible. It would require a lot of time to go through the block explorer and working out what went where. We will release as much information as possible once it is correlated. The available coins are the coins that are not reserved or not staking in peoples wallets, it has nothing to do whatsoever with a premine of coins. You are mistaken, otherwise the available supply would be just 62,196SLK as the instamine (not premine) held 44,000,000SLK in block 1. |
