Is this coin legit? I figure silkroad is dead..
We have no link or affiliation with silkroad
. Read OP, read a few pages all you will see our value in no where near silkroad.
Other subject : We're currently in the process of writing the white paper of the eco-sytem. And by the way, reading all your messages about the marketplace : current point of view of the dev team is that this is just too risky. Imagine a decentalized maketplace, I would not say it is worse or better than silkroad, but one thing is for sure : it will we targeted and shutdown, look at Coinye and this is only kanye west... It may be reconsidered in the future, but for now we'll release the social network & exchange first and we're currently focused on that.
The main point is we found a way to decentralize almost everything and this is major; The registration I told you about earlier is the basis of everything. Data is shared via p2p each node will have to stock a part of that data, with our current estimations of upload,messages,ect../user used space per node will be very small. But security measures have been integrated so that eavesdropping is almost impossible. That is also why, as I said earlier in another post there is a limitation in place which alows you to share profile/trades & co only with people you're "friends" with. And of course you've already guessed everything works with pub/priv keys, public key being associated with a username.
The white paper we're writing is exclusively about the "eco-sytem" because with this system as I told earlier, almost anything can be decentralized, once again Satoshi's greastest invention was the blockchain not the currency.
Last thing : as you saw earlier we always listen to the community so just imagine in what we could evolve with this system..
More infos soon....
We'll release an update of the wallet very soon to fix the few glitches present in the wallet we had to rush this release because of the hard fork.
Tomorrow we'll be 1 month old
