Go on then, change the name. Darkcoin did it, others did it already. The Market has short memory so this will not even be remembered one day. That's a pity though: I personally started to like the camel.

Yes the market has short memory people will forget about silkroaddrugs.

silkroad was also involved in selling murder for hire and human trafficking, not just illegal drugs. I like the camel and silk/desert theme but, with a movie being made, it will take some time to forget. Who want to live with that stain for years? It was difficult for me to argue to keep the name when I constantly need to explain that this project has nothing to do with the darknet and/or illegal markets. It is bad for business.

I couldn't agree with you more. I think the majority of the community is behind the rebranding 100% based on the responses from community members who have been around these forums for a while. I've gotten burned by a number of altcoins in the past 3+ years and to be honest, I haven't had this level of comfort with a coin before. When I look back at the effort that Spencer, you, and the rest of the team expended on what was a tainted coin for 2+ years, and that the team was investing in the future of the technology, it only adds to my comfort level. Couple that with the transparency the project has offered both here and on SilkNetwork.org, the effort the team has made to ensure no one is left out of the swap from the old Silkcoin to Silk, and the teams availability to quickly answer concerns, the comfort level I have with this project is through the roof. So much so that I have been buying up like a mad man since the news of the rebranding came out.

I really believe re branding is the best option. Many people outside crypto space know SILK as "selling murder for hire and human trafficking, not just illegal drugs"
