i really hope you didn't delete your wallet.dat file if so you may be in some trouble

Good point! Everyone do yourselves a favor... Go buy TWO Usb thumb drives. BACKUP your wallet.dat files for ANY coin you have to each one. Make sure they are encrypted in case they fall into the wrong hands. Store the USB drives in a safe place with one being a different physical location.

Then if your hard drive dies, you delete your directory, your wife shoots the computer, or you have a flood, you can still recover your coins.

Is there a known issue with the new Windows wallet version 1.0.8? It crashes every time I try to run it. The splash screen comes up for about a second, then gone. Over and over. I deleted everything from AppData\Roaming\Silkcoin except the wallet, same deal. If I delete that folder, when I start the wallet that folder gets recreated but no files are. I had the same issue with 1.0.7.

I am running version v1.0.6.0-g32a928e successfully on Windows 7 Pro x64 SP 1. Any ideas? I have run 1.0.8 on the desktop (standalone) and in the folder for 1.0.6.

Thanks ahead.

(Why, yes I voted on mintpal! Have you?)

On the Exchange Front...

The tension is building like two sides going to war. On Poloniex there is a buy order for 246,043 Silk Coin... Someone does not want to take a chance on the price dropping during the 2nd PoW...

To be honest it is quite difficult to buy large amounts of Silk now. If you wait for the second proof of work to get your coins you may miss out. Very small purchases can move the market... Less than 5BTC of Silk purchases on Bittrex would move the price to 2500 satoshi. Wow!

This coin is headed to the moon! Great developers, active marketing, and a great community. Go look around the forums and compare...

Sorry, but I would be very wary of storing any Silk Coin on any online location. Heck it is risky to store large amounts on well established exchanges where the risk of getting Goxxed is real. One day in the BC hype I had accumulated 14 BTC selling BC. Then Mintpal went offline. I thought I got goxxed. I was freaking out until they came back up. NEVER leave a bunch of coins on an online service.

If the devs have reached 70% since launch then we are less than a month away from anon???

This have not been updated for a long time !

As for Zerocoin integration, we stated earlier in this thread that we stopped the dev work on zerocoin because of the masterkey problem, and because we discovered it could not be compatible with the eco-system. We were also working on an another system of our own based on Darksend, but for now on it's on hold until we see how everything goes there's a lot going on right now in anon domain and we'll integrate the fittest option when time comes. And we won't integrate untested blockchain features in a rush just to get a pump, remember we're long term. So we're not really in the anon feature race it's not the n°1 priority at the moment, but be sure it will be integrated in time.

On other news, we're all very busy with the next update, expect a release on Thursday, maximum Friday!

When I'll have a little bit more time I'll try to update this part of the website with more accurate data on current devs, as you may see the social network is not even in the list.

Introducing Operation Shock & Awe

What is Operation Shock & Awe?

Operation Shock & Awe is the internal name for a social initiative spearheaded through a series of giveaways from various outlets. The aim of operation shock and awe is to do a blitz of SilkCoin and get as many people as possible to hear about SilkCoin, download our wallet, learn about our features and in the process get listed on further exchanges.

How will Operation Shock & Awe work?

Operation Shock & Awe is a 2-part initiative.

Part 1, which is currently underway and will continue all the way through to the 2nd PoW phase, will be used to spread the word around about SilkCoin and in turn get listed on MintPal. This will provide us some stability and foundation going through to the 2nd PoW phase.

Part 2, which will collerate with the start of the 2nd Pow phase, will be a full on social media blitz to get as many people as possible to hear about SilkCoin. We already have some big crypto names in social media lined up ready for part 2. The names of these social media accounts will be anounced at the start of part 2.

Who are the current participants on Part 1?

All Crypto All Day
CryptoSandwich

Between the 2 above Twitter accounts, they have a following of over 36 000 people. SilkCoin will be tweeted about daily to each of these 36 000 followers.

CryptoSandwich is in charge of our MintPal voting campaign that can be found here : http://bitcoingarden.tk/forum/index.php?topic=541.0

Each voter will receive 15 SC per vote. There are additional prizes which include a 15 000 SC grand prize to the person who votes the most along with 2 500 SC prizes each for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place voters

What can I do to help?

1. Vote for us on MintPal and post here : http://bitcoingarden.tk/forum/index.php?topic=541.0 to claim your 15 SC rewards
2. Retweet this : https://twitter.com/CryptoSandwich/status/470789069430333443 with the handle #silkcoin
3. Retweet all #silkcoin tweets from All Crypto All Day
4. Tweet what you like most about Silkcoin with the handle #silkcoin

*This is the first of many announcements to come.

Ive just been reading on the Silkcoin website and they are 70% complete on implementing zerocash, so thats great news!

Yeah i saw that, i find it hard to believe though. They must be programming/maths geniuses if they are that close. The guys who invented zerocash aren't even that close haha.

Quote from: Silkcoin on May 20, 2014, 02:09:39 AM

About Anon features, we wanted to integrate zerocoin at first but the masterkey issue is just too big. But now with the upcoming release of darksend and all other devs on anon features we decided to wait to see how all this goes and integrate the fittest option. But be certain we'll integrate it in time, for the above reasons it's not the priority.
Tor integration will be released very soon, you can actually already connect through tor but we'll put a one click button because as always we want our wallet to as user friendly as possible.

Seems like the did not update the website or they have made some new progress....

I thought it would be interesting to discuss which anonymous feature would be the best to implement into silkcoin, there are a few options:

Cryptonote
https://cryptonote.org/
whitepaper: https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf
summary: https://cryptonote.org/inside.php

Personal feelings:
-Only drawback is the extra bloat on the blockchain but i am not 100% sure about this, I am just judging from bytecoin.

Darksend
https://www.darkcoin.io/
whitepaper: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/DarkcoinWhitepaper.pdf
Summary: Mix of conjoin and stealth addresses built into the decentralized network

personal feelings:
-Good but slows down transaction times and not 100% anonymous because it just aims to mix coins. But it may be enough for anonymity.
-This could be the easiest and quickest way to add anonymity into silkcoin

Zerocash
http://zerocash-project.org/
whitepaper: http://zerocash-project.org/media/pdf/zerocash-extended-20140518.pdf
Summary: http://zerocash-project.org/how_zerocash_works

personal feelings:
-This is the most anonymous method, people argue that the masterkey problem is a major concern but you can use multi-sig to make sure no one person is in charge of destroying the key.
-It is also bleeding edge mathamatics and has not been implemented in any coins yet but it could be a good thing for silkcoin. They could be one of the first to be using the zerocash technology.

I would go with zerocash, and i think we should embrace it along with other coins, im not sure if blackcoin will be using zerocash or not, but I think its the only option unless we develop another technology from the ground up.

Darksend has not even been proven to work reliably yet (they have had forking issues), Cryptonote is excellent, but we would have to create a brand new blockchain, and that is not just an option.

Zerocash is soon to be launched for bitcoin, and i expect other currencies very soon.

Oh that rules out cryptonote. Out of the 2 zerocash gets my vote aswell.

I'm pretty sure that zerocash will released on its own altcoin from what i have read. (zerocash is the new project, zerocoin is the previous project meant to be built on bitcoin)

Ive just been reading on the Silkcoin website and they are 70% complete on implementing zerocash, so thats great news!
