Re: [ANN] SilkCoin | New Wallet | NOW on MintPal / Cryptsy

Silkcoin,

The registration mechanism you're proposing has an interesting application towards preexisting non-p2p systems.

Suppose a website owner who employs a home grown authentication system is able to add a Silk authentication module allowing his system to verify the identity and authenticate visitors against the blockchain. The process could be made seamless for the user via browser plug-in for challenge/response authentication, or token based a la OAuth. The website owner would never need to store the users credentials.

I believe what you're proposing, in particular, decentralized content could coexist and benefit preexisting non-p2p systems.

I'm doing some work in this area, have been hacking on Bitcoin's P2P protocol. Ping me if anyone wants to discuss further, hopefully outside the fray of the ANN thread!

I beg for a moderated thread.
Posts like these are getting lost in this one.

This thread can stay open and run in parallel with the moderated one. The FUD vs hype battle can continue here.
But please give us a moderated thread as well.

Let's just start one. Create it, copy and paste all the OP stuff over and go from there.

I seriously considered it and started typing it up... but it will be better if the person who creates it is called Silkcoin. Or Wulf would be believable as well. My name is not recognized as part of Silkcoin team (because I'm not).

The cons to having a moderated thread: avoidance of criticism and stifling of debate.
The pros: actually being able to have criticism and debate.

This thread has become unpleasant mostly through the efforts of a failed extortionist.
It doesn't matter in the long run but it is a shame for people like me who are interested in the development. If all the interesting discussions move to PM then I won't be able to follow!

I agree that it needs to be someone from the team, but then they have to monitor the thread and that takes them from the real work. Do we have a dedicated Community Manager or a Community team that someone from there can do it?

Big difference between constructive criticism and worthwhile debate and blatant FUD. The blatant crap that we are seeing here is what needs to go. It is in no way furthering intelligent discussion or debate. It is just shit in the punch bowl.

I think it would be obvious as the what is considered FUD if based upon the criteria set forth by previous examples. You would not want to suppress the freedom of thought or expression, rather eliminate narcissistic personality disorder, which could (i suppose) extend itself to bi-polar syndrome and so on and so forth if we are abstracting examples for this thread. In summary, I am sure it would be pretty dam clear who is trying to cause disruption through the thread. I honestly believe most think of this room as a troll box. I know I did, but was sent forth to become one of the conformist within a social structure that is controlled by peers and minions and shoot. Am I in China here?
