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.
Wow!!! Big one
Pity
I used to love the camel, but in our world trust is everything
If the "Silk" name draws back the whole project then we should move on
Any thoughts on the rebrand thing?
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.
