And Welcome again! To more new faces! Feel free to comment on how to make Silkcoin better. This is the place to do it!  Welcome to the Comm. 

This one?


But yeh there's more coming. That was yesterday. ^^^
And agreed.  Fuck ETA's.  Everyone works hard as fuck on Silk.  
And more updates will come.    

Lying about release dates without complete products is bullshit marketing.  
But can definitely be talked about, and built together.
and join google hangouts - hanzlambrecht@gmail.com - I'll direct ya to the party.

The whole goal is of course to rise steadily through hard work in technology and value.  
Respect all those building the same thing.
I hear its raining silk.  

Hopefully all devs will work on the same project one day.
If we all worked together someway, we could shatter the 10 billion dollar market cap on crypto as a whole.  

Great work guys. Looking forward to it.

 

If we work together we can achieve much more.


Why Cryptocurrency?

Communication is the key to civilization. With every change in media, every step where our means of communication has improved, civilizations have changed.
We are undergoing a revolution and a paradigm shift when it comes to medium of communication and so also our civilization.
We are still experiencing the birth of the internet and already everything is changing.

Money is a form of communication. It is a form of vote.
Every time you spend money on something or support a service you are voting for the continued existence of that service and against the survival of its competitors.
This is also true for governments, it is also true for war. Money is the fuel of both.

The way we use money and the type of money we use needs to adapt to a digital environment.
The transfer and storage of value should be as simple as sending an email. For a free world, the movement of money needs to be free.
With our vote we should be able to have an impact and shape the world around us.

This is what Bitcoin gave us, the first proper steps along this path.
It is the money of the internet and a new level of civilization.
I believe that there are many people out there that see the possibilities this brings.
The possibility exists for changing the world for good and for better.



Why Silkcoin?

We have an opportunity to build together.

The world is at play with Satoshi’s Bitcoin and blockchain and adjusting and tweaking, numerous alternatives being born by the day.
This is a key characteristic of open source, community contributed development and natural in the evolution of systems but at the moment haphazard and rife with scams.

From Bitcoin, via Peercoin and others, we got to Blackcoin which in turn gave birth to Silkcoin.
The name Silk; chosen for its association with trade and the silk route, is an emblem of commerce and value. The wallet is your Silkworm, always spinning new Silk, reminiscent of a practice that has existed in China for at least 5000 years, a close guarded secret for most of that time.

As with many other alts, the weakness with this coin was in its initial developers who soon left the scene after contributing the bare basics. A community of early adopters decided that instead of moving along to the next developer-led coin, they would try to turn this around and form it into a community-led initiative.

The advantages?
A community, a brand, access to exchanges and wide distribution.
The disadvantages?
Legacy and code from the previous developers needed extensive overhaul and cleaning.

A recurring weakness in many coins is the dependence on the developers. No coin will ever truly exist if it can’t survive the death or departure of its creators. Nothing is decentralized if it depends on only a handful of people.
The dream is to have a coin developed by a multitude of developers. Not just one or two, but instead, opened up to the whole world.

We have been working on ways to make this possible.
We want to build a system that allows a feedback cycle and rewards participation.
In Silkcoin we aim to have an inbuilt mechanism of feedback and direction, like its name, borrowed from biological systems.

It starts with a platform to suggest a project.
The person suggesting the project will be able to sponsor it by diverting a percentage of their interest earned through staking to the project funds held automatically in escrow.
As the best of the suggestions rise to the top, others will join in their support, choosing their level of support and so the percentage of their stake-earned interest devoted to the project.
Developers can sign up, competing to try and deliver on the project and at the end of a pre-determined period, all the supporters can vote (according to their contribution) for the winner and so reward the developer of the successful product.

The aim is to create a feedback system that will direct the energies of developers and stimulate continuous growth. Anyone can volunteer an idea. Anyone can code a solution and the ecosystem keeps growing in the direction decided by the community.

Open source, community directed, decentralized development.
This is the dream for Silkcoin.
Let's build it together.




TLDR:
Go read it, this is important!
If you really won’t, here is the gist of it:
The community is raising the orphan that is Silkcoin.
We want it to grow into an independent coin that will never be reliant on one or two developers again. We have a plan for making this happen.
If you believe cryptocurrencies can change the world, please join us.
If you are a coder and want a coin that will forever be developed by an inclusive community, come work with us and help us build it.

YES. That moment when you tell your grand kids you were amongst the first aboard the SILK TRAIN!!

One more thing. I don't any option in new wallet where it shows SYNC status.

New wallet is beautiful. Great work guys!! It's nice to see the community has came through, picked up the pieces and made something even better than it was! Will be looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the improved SilkCoin.
