[ANN] [SC] SilkCoin - Takeover and Rebuilding Discussion/Proposal

[Mr.Joker]

In case of the new coin what will happen to our holding. We are going through harsh time man. But still holding the coin, the trust.

We can just Rebrand the coin. Hardfork the current blockchain, so the coins will still be valid.

[BadAss.Sx]

I also have a plan for that. That's why i said...a coin with the spirit of the camel. You know, like he's dead, but as an angel she's our quardian angel and creator of the new coin. Hahaha...

Damn, although i really have an idea, above sounds ridiculous, don't you think? That is why i have to think again how i can complete this idea, before i say something stupid. It is a good idea, but also a lot of work and i don't know if i have the time for that.

It would be ridiculous to abandon this coin and start a whole new one. There are a lot of positive things that we can build on with this coin.

I do think that a rename to Silk will be better, but future will tell if the community agrees in the polls. Also change the ticker to SLK.

I think as soon as we gathered some devs to start a new ANN for a relaunch and also for a rebrand. I really hopes this will happen this weekend.

EDIT: My wallet isn't staking.

Coins are mature enough.
Wallet unlocked.
No reserve balance
Lightning bolt is saying that it is staking, but I don't receive anything, for 12 hours now?

Anyone?

Ben's Bounties

Here are the bounties I'm happy to offer, and more will come as we make progress.

5,000 - for 10 positive news and promo Tweets from a crypto-related account with more than 1000 followers.
5,000 - for securing www.silkcoin.co and transferring control to the webmaster our community nominates. Invoice and whois confirm required for payout.
25,000 - for designing and publishing a new website at www.silkcoin.co ... our new public face!
25,000 - for coding and publishing a new wallet using Bitcoin Core 0.9.2.1 ... Windows to start.
(Basically this bounty is about somebody doing what bholzer said he would do. See OP for details. As I'm not a coder myself, I will pay this particular bounty after the work is confirmed valid and functional by other, more experienced members of the community.)

The funds have been transferred to the following wallet:
B8NN3ANBqfu7Sde8GbvWBNcdBuiqLLmnEB
As they're coins entirely from my holdings, I will pay them out as each task is completed. PM me on here if you're entitled to one.

From my comparative analysis I firmly believe that SilkCoin has a current intrinsic value around 800 SAT, but is depressed below that because of recent news/trauma.
Getting us up to a liquid trading range of 1200-1800 SAT is really not going to be too difficult, with some hard work and applied collective brainpower.
So these bounties are worth more than you think

Will contribute with putting 20% on top of Ben's bounties! (So 25000 will be 30000)

During testing I have uncovered a few more bugs with the market data APIs, but I have made great progress and have fixed all of the ones I have found so far.  Next round of testing starts...now()!

Awesome Good work man!

Try restarting the client. Mine is staking right now.

Awesome man.  I will match your bounties.

As I have previously stated I have silkcoin.us ready for the community to use. I have also disclosed my full Id and email. Just to reiterate I am Marc Fortenberry.  Look me up on facebook, linkedin, or btcjam. I have no problem revealing who I am for this community.  I am pretty much a noob in this but I do have about two hours a day I can devote to this. I am open to suggestions as to what my role can be. Please read previous posts as I have stated this before. I love silk and want this coin to succeed.  As this is a holiday weekend in USA let's wait till the weekend is over to hear from bholzer. If no communication then let's take control and finalize a plan no later than Wednesday.  Give a shit now about stepping on toes, let's get this done. There are plenty of devs that can do what we need. Thank you.

[Transidium]

Hi Marc, thank you for reminding me about the URL you've secured. I'm just hesitant about voting for it as the new site because it may turn off some of our non-American members... crypto is a global endeavour.

Do you have web design skills? Assuming I found the correct LinkedIn profile, it looks like you're basically a biochemical mad scientist

我们需要新线程  重新发布

We need a new thread  ,Re released.

[mafort1469]

Yes you found me and you are right, I am a mad scientist, however, my skills in crytoworld are minimal at best. As for the website I didn't see it as an .us domain,  I saw it as silkcoin.us meaning US as a community.  Anyway I would like to help. I do have my MBA so maybe I could help in that way or just coordinate items, etc. I learn fast so maybe give me items to do and I can do them??

  Yessir, your name will be on Ann thread with c++ skills added to it as an active contributor.  stoked to see the work you're conquering.

Wednesday eh? it is like 35 days in crypto time..

[mafort1469]

Yes you are correct,  Wednesday is crazy. Saturday latest? I will do what I can to see about a new dev with C++. I know one guy so let's see if he'll commit.

 As you mentioned about learning... we need qt guy..  well everyone does really.  Mad scientist take that on?

 Was going to release tonite.  But think saturday is a fair equilibrium.  Think people dont realize that 1.0.9.3 is actually a much better client then when silkcoin was at its height.  A lot of sloppy coding in it has been fixed.

[yell4george]

Pure speculation on my part, but i think Ben is bholzer. They communicate in very similar ways.

Its ok, sometimes you need an identity change

And the camel marches . .
