yes.. but of course.. who owns all the silk? id like to guess that this thread owns 50% or more.. so why would you want to drop the price? why would not silkcoin be the superior coin??the only thing that makes sense here is for the corporation to make money off all of you dumping your coins on the weaver (which who knows when will be launched) to profit the transaction fees on your broken dreams to be early adopters of darksilk (which who knows when will be launched)

I understand what you are saying. And it was hard to see true merit in Silk in favor of just swapping to one new coin and discarding the old (and its community). Confirmation bias being the worst depending which side you were on. On one hand you have all the investors of 2014 which you dont want to let down, on the other hand you have the hopes and ambitions that could be realised by launching a new, single/solitary coin (ratio 1 to x).

In the end we found a solution, without compromise, that brought two coins together in one system both independent from eachother but still influencing eachother. Again I cant get into too much detail, but what I can say is that Silk is treated with the utmost of care. For this very reason it was also decided that a swap from old.silkcoin to new Silk would secure developmental control.

In 2014 i think it was that I spoke with Arteleis and we were brainstorming about logo's for the coins. Ideas that we had then are still here today. To have a phoenix as an emblem for Silk was not by coincidence, it takes some faith but eventually a phoenix will rise from its own ashes...

Also its price impact that should decrease for Silk, not price. Right now 1 BTC would create a price increase of 20%. What if I wanted to transact $ 20,000.- this would be unacceptable. Either the price should be much higher or everyone should put on a sell order. No we need steady growth to allow such volumes to be traded. First we need coins to circulate, then we need higher volumes to have lower price impact. We can then address market cap to come into the same area as DarkSilk which by then would have a head start based on its technological superiority. How we will do this is a trade secret.
