Might be smart to time the release with the start of Eth PoS. Lots of gpu's will need a home.
The smart time to release will be once the code is ready and everything is fully tested

just like i said above..
"no empty promises or fancy roadmaps"
Couldn't agree more!
Agreed, at least silk/drksilk will work, and we won't have to wait through dev stages. It is nice to see a dev team that is dedicated to the end product.
I guess where I was going is, the timing might be nice for miners with the drksilk release date looming. And the end point of other PoW stages on the horizon.
Any info on which gpu's hash better?
Also, about the market place. Who decides what can and can not be sold? Are restrictions going to be placed, or is it a un restricted market place?
One more, how does silk work within the network? Is it just going to be used for speculation and trade alone, or is it used as a fee or payment within the network also? This might have been covered already, but i've only gone back 70 odd pages in this thread.
I will also add that i've been with silk since day one. I still kept a working wallet staking the whole time. The community support is here, we just want to see some thing like we all envisioned as early adopters, 2 years ago.
Lost my own money on the livechains collapse, along with the silkpool. If there is a need I have kicked around the idea of opening another pool, or investing further into things. Just needs to be support for it. No sense loosing more money.
Why this relaunch can work is because Silk network as a company is making money from nodes and weaver accounts. It doesn't rely on the sale of donated or pre mine coins to sustain. It's a more sound business model than most coins.
I am sure fee's and memberships can be tweaked as silk matures.
Very bright future for silknet.
