At the end of the countdown an image was presented, it's up to you what to think of it. Up until that point in time we would let nothing loose about the future of Silk. Although we have been toying with it for some time. Why now? Because we are closer to release, although we can not give firm dates on developer's request. But we do need to take the public into consideration. It is important to let it be known to everyone what the deal is with the Silk Network platform, before release.

It will take time to let everything sink in, I know this. To share information at launch would not give the community the proper time to digest. Even now we are withholding the exact workings of it for several reasons. One being that we do not want others to go the same route, more importantly we do not want to overload the community with imagery and abstract models. That comes later when we all know what to expect.

For now it is important to know that Silk is more than an essential component it's our trump card.

About release dates given by devs, if it didnt come from me, discard it and let them do the dev'ing
