So you have to ask yourself.  What is Silk coin doing that is creating UTILITY?  What is it doing that other coins are not doing?  


And.... What is Silkcoin NOT doing that other coins are doing?

- BIP 0021 "URI Scheme" to enable payments by clicking on link or scanning QR code
- BIP 0070 "Payment Protocol" for better communication between merchant & customer

As a web developer in the finance industry, I see these 2 BIPs as vital for any crypto currency that wants to have merchant services built upon it.

These are great points Fred and need to be addressed.  

All he needs to do is update to recent Bitcoin source and all of that stuff is built-in. Would definitely be a good start to building a shred of credibility. bholzer's Murraycoin has that stuff - a coin with a fucking Bill Murray theme! We're talking about a guy who can't even change his own mouse batteries  Grin

I don't see fundamental difference between 2% and 4.5%.


Well that seems to be a common theme with people who are holding a big bag of Silkcoins. Do you see a fundamental difference between 2% and 100%? I mean where do you draw the line? 4.5% is massive and nobody is going to take that seriously. It's even worse when it was originally 2%. I don't care who voted for what part of the premine should have been destroyed to keep things the same at least - that's the one thing I've agreed with in this whole thread. It would be like Steve Case wanting to make AOL Free Trial discs are the new world currency - it just doesn't work that way. Distribution on this coin is bad enough when there are like 12 people that hold 90% of the coins. A 4.5% premine is ridiculous - the dev might as well rob you at gunpoint. The longer you hold the more you lose. Remember when I urged you guys to sell at 7000? 6000? 5000? 4000? Everybody who ignored my advice just kept losing. Everybody who continues to ignore my advice will just keep losing. It makes no sense offering good advice to you guys since you all seem happy with the massive premine. I cannot understand why you wouldn't be pushing for the destruction of it when it would certainly help the value. Did you all eat paint chips as kids? Or are you all sockpuppets?

Well 'drawing the line' is subjective isn't it? What you think is a lot can be little to some and what you think is little can be a lot to others? That alone should be sufficient to end this war  Wink

BTW check a few posts above, I asked you a question I'd like an honest answer to. If you'd care to indulge me of course Smiley
