The only problem with that is the coin wont come up in Google search results.  The tag "silkcoin" or "silk coin" needs to be established as the main reference to the coin, otherwise the webcrawlers wont place it at the top of search results.  That will discourage new crypto adopters from adopting it. We want it to be distinguished from the metatag "Silk" which already referes to a million other things online.

Definitely SILK for the ticker!

Just to clear this up.  Bholzer is not working on this project currently to anyones knowledge.  

From what i understand, he will be working on it, i just dont know when he has started, i think he said in his last post he hoped to have the new wallet wrapped up by monday.

He was working on it according to all the other threads he made and posted in 2 days ago. Is he no longer part of it???

He said in his post that he is not only working on it, but invested his own money into purchasing some SilkCoin now.  Seems like now that he's got a stake in the financial future of the coin, he would be forthcoming with updates and assistance.

Back in the saddle here - some travel-dependent meetings popped up and swept me away for a few days (damn day jobs). Here is a brief update/status/report/etc:

First order of business is that in about 4 hours, Murraycoin will switch to Scrypt-2048 for POW; I need to ensure a smooth transition and take care of any issues that could arise/etc.

After that is handled and any potential fires are put out, I will shift my focus back to SilkCoin. First order of business is that I will need to go back through all of the pages I missed and get caught up. Still waiting for this.  Once I'm caught up on all of the info, I will post an update and let everybody know where we're at on the clients, what all I've done so far, and start getting everybody on the same page. No post yet. Unfortunately, tomorrow is a holiday and I will have limited time to work. However, we will be sitting good before the weekend is over.

I'd like to close by sincerely apologizing to everybody; I knew you guys would be frustrated with me seemingly falling off the face of the earth for a few days. This week has been insane but, instead of going into detail and explaining the radio silence, I want to focus on moving forward. Between you guys and all of the Murraycoin people I'm sure this week has resulted in a high level of stress (I have 44 unread PMs right now!) but I want to assure you guys we're going to get this thing nailed down together. We have released a stable client and are working on contant improvements. I'm now invested in SilkCoin as well, if you were curious - I purchased 1,000,000 of them no comment.  but probably shouldnt have mentioned buying a million when price was broken by non-communication- obviously, I believe this coin will be a success YES!! and I'm going to do everything I can to help get us there. We are waiting on collaboration to begin. I staked my reputation on this, my wallet on this, and you guys put your trust in me - I'm not about to let anybody down. We are looking forward to this. This will certainly be more involved than what I originally thought (everything the previous dev left behind is essentially useless junk) Agreed.  Code is junk. Lots of work presently being put into fixing this.  and I thought I'd be killing 2 birds with 1 stone by saving SilkCoin and also creating the most advanced POS code. yep.  We are working on the most advanced code in POS history right now.  Doors are open to collaboration when you're ready.

Just a few more hurdles here, guys. Also... I'm not sure I will be able to respond to all of the PMs (limited time and want to spend that time developing) but I will try to address all of the questions/concerns/etc publicly  (in this thread) once I get a chance to read through everything.

Hang in there - we're almost back in business.
We are already back in business.  And look forward to future collaboration if you have the time. I would like to thank you for pulling all the efforts into one place.  Your skills in writing, and initial promise to the community were commendable.  Please let us know if you wish to continue, and we will invite you into the current dev portal.  Thanks for pulling this community together in the midst of chaos and near destruction.

Onward and upward!

Then, how come he...

• Hasn't proven his stake in the coin? Anyone can just claim to have bought x million coins, it's meaningless
• Doesn't communicate with the SILK Team on the collaboration platform Trello or any other way known to me at all? There clearly are 2 developers who actually ARE working on and releasing fixes and he has no interest in acknowledging that?
• Hasn't posted anything whatsoever in the official ANN? No progress updates for the release or any of his other promises. Not so much as a 'hi, I'm still alive'.

all while being online and posting elsewhere at the same time? That is just indecent and disrespectful towards the SILK community.

If any of his last known claims were true, he wouldn't just ignore the above issues for the sake of his (supposed) investment in SILK, his reputation and credibility (which wasn't that incredible to begin with, I don't know why everyone got their panties wet before anything substantial was actually delivered, not just promised).

Naturally, Murraycoin will soon hit the scam coin lists. One sign of that I can point out - a couple days ago I posted on the Murraycoin thread asking him not to ignore his commitment to SILK and you can guess what happened. My post was deleted within minutes (if needed - I can post a screenshot of the automated message I got sent which informed me of the deletion). "I wonder, why?" Try to do the same thing I did and I'm sure you'll get the same result.

At this point, though, do we even give a shit? The only he thing he did manage to do was rounding up the remaining SILK supporters, filling them with much needed hope and inspire many others to form a team and contribute in any way they can. So now, to my knowledge we have two other great devs who don't throw bullshit claims and empty promises around and still deliver the updates that we need.

In the cut-throat cryptocoin world, there is no excuse for blatantly, repeatedly avoiding communication and addressing IMPORTANT ISSUES AND QUESTIONS from people after you convinced them to TRUST and DEPEND on you. If not for the enthusiastic people behind the coin now, people would be left naked with nothing but the bags they hold after your promises enticed them to keep them or invest more.

"Being busy" (supposedly; we cannot verify that) excuses are not helping - if he bit off more than he could chew that is his own fault - who takes on projects they can't deliver? People who enjoy scamming or wasting people's time. Could I be exaggerating, could this all would be a misunderstanding and he will shortly appear and convince everyone that he gives a shit? Snowball's chance in hell.

I bet he is done for and he knows it. It would be a miracle if he ever so much as shows his face around SILK again. He could be a man and admit he fucked up and perhaps Murraycoin community would not take this personally, as he didn't abandon them, to be fair.
