ICO Update

Week 3/4 | 13 days remain

5% Bonus for BTC Investors | Silk 25:1 DarkSilk

Current Total - ~69 Bitcoin(BTC) | ~1,800,000 Silk(SLK)

[Karartma1]

1800000 SLK cap for another 27 BTC so it would 69 plus 27: so current funding is more or less equal to 100 BTC which is not bad at all.

Chime, which is a major private healthcare consortium is holding a $1,000,000 contest to find a solution that can be scalable and match Patient ID's across varied healthcare systems in the USA.

Amir Abrams of Silk Network alongside Mark Schroeder and Hans Michel, have designed a solution using healthcare industry standards, the blockchain and the decentralised DNS of Silk(SLK) to solve this issue and provide a solution.

The solution proposed uses the blockchain of Silk(SLK) for trust relationships, whilst the decentralised DNS is used to match the registry of the patient ID record with the 'clearnet' domain names equivalent record. Using different nodes carrying out different functions on the network, the system matches these hashes/patient ID's across the different healthcare systems on the 'clearnet' domains, which in-turn, drastically reduces failure rates of 20% or higher, reduces administrative waste and the loss of billions of dollars.

This solution won the initial round and is now in the final round. Upon winning this contest it will be utilised by multiple healthcare providers such as hospitals and clinics, with the state of Louisiana acting as the first testbed before branching out nationally and then internationally.

Other entries in the competition are centralised systems, unlike the system proposed by Amir Abrams.

For investors in Silk(SLK), bear in mind that every DNS entry has a cost dependent on the length of time it is registered for. With ~330,000,000 people in the USA alone, this would generate a lot of DNS entries. The possibilities of this are obvious once a step back is taken.

Can you please add the SLK funding alongside the BTC one in the DARK SILK ICO page? I'm asking because if it was not for you pointing that out we would have had no clue of how much SLK you are getting.
Please update the ICO page

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.

The entire project has been already constructed with the rebranding and appropriate names.

The new branding is public and approachable and most importantly, it's about the project as a whole, as a complete package.

This will not require a base58 address change nor hardfork and both coins will still have names that begin with the letters S and D.

The vision that we have and the solutions we want to solve using blockchain technologies cannot be done with the name we currently have.

Investors are interested in our algo, methodology, incentivised nodes, DAO platform, Weaver, stability and privacy/anon functions.

But there are bigger plans and solutions we have which simply will not be invested into with the current name. This will be the main focus of the rebranded project name, to pursue these said solutions.

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.
