Which big partnerships are at risk?

Polo cut them loose with no warning despite having a whole bunch of active devs working on the coin.
Off the top of my head could name a dozen inactive scam coins still listed on polo, raised support tickets asking why those coins weren't removed too. Was fruitless, but made me feel better.
In retrospect, it's not hard to understand really, they are terrified of the name.

Polo just looking after themselves, and rightly so. I'm not blaming them, they a huge US registered company, you think they want any association with Silkroad and Dread Pirate Roberts? That guy is a convicted criminal and will be in jail for life. Even when it's a ridiculous false association, still matters.

It's a proper move to rebranding, I strongly support. Reckon the tech is unique in crypto and you guys would have done well regardless, superficial as it is, simply changing name means a lot to outsiders.

I loved the camel personally, but shit changes, and you gotta deal with that, does anyone name their kid Adolf anymore? Fuck no.

Well reading back it appears polo gave them two years warning to release any update which didn't happen so the coin was removed.

Doesn't appear the name had anything to do with it. I am interested to know what partnership would cause a rebranding in the middle of an ico and shortly after a coin launch.

We are not the developers of Silkcoin. So WE were not given 2 years by anyone to do anything.

If you read the thread it quite plainly states that we are in a competition currently and that the focus of the project will be changed.

I am sure that it isn't hard to read between the lines, but, if your unable to read between the lines, then you will have to wait for the paper.

This doesn't mean that the project is directed AT the project, but the problems and solutions involved.
