Those dancing things are creeping me out... I am so creeped out I had to go vote for SC so they wouldn't kill me in my sleep!

but their 51% premine is bad.

btw, we just hit 25th spot on mintpal, zooming to the top.

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?

Seems we got more copycats 
It is indeed flattering

About to overtake mintcoin:

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.

no its not, it will be out within a month or 2.

Pretty sure you need lastest Mac version. It has been discussed before if I remember well but mac version is not very optimized yet better go for linux or win.

For me it works. This coin seems interesting

Hello!

My mac wallet is not working. Is there any problem with it?
