And yes.   I just related camels to Spartans. .

  We are... Silkcoin!!!!!

   And yes gives the occasion to buy.  And the occasion to build walls wherever traders trying to devalue a coin for entry want.
     I wonder what ratio of users all use the big 4 cryptsy mintpal polo and bittrex..  like how many traders have accounts at all 4? Likely most.  Again the reason why I don't see it necessary to be on tons of exchanges.   If the volume is there. It doesn't make a difference if it's traded on 1 or 4 price wise.  Except for the fact that it gives traders leverage over communities trying to make their coin succeed.

  As far as the blog post.. I've watched it over and over and over again.   Woooo  new exchange... up up up..  oh  crash crash crash.  On to the next.  Remaining coins get the beats on all fronts.

  Remember the movie 300? You think the Spartans could have won if they were being attacked from all sides? Nope.
 

  Lol sure buy silk on mintpal.  They haven't or do not plan anymore to delist us.

   And Don't get me wrong mintpal has been awesome to us.  It was moolah that said they would delist us along with a bunch of other coins calling them scam coins and dead coins.. was a bold statement.  Congrats on the mintpal guys for selling the exchange to moolah.  Lol
   
   They of course now have changed their minds..  Likely realized their revenue was coming from a bunch of these 'dead' coins. 

   Don't think I'm attacking exchanges. Just saying they'll have to do better then calling down all the coins that got their exchange to where it is and censoring and not responding to a single post or reply to do with the changeover.
 
  Shady business imo.

 You bet.  Just move the backed up .dat file into the silkcoin folder in %appdata%.   You'll find there is two different appdata folders.  One is hidden %appdata% can also been shown by using the 'show hidden folders' option. The other is regular appdata so you won't find anything you need there.  All cryptos run in the hidden folder.  In case you're looking for other wallets.  Or have to move them.

   Just remember when you move the backed up wallet.dat into silkcoin folder to copy it and make sure you have that file still available elsewhere In case of error.
 
   Do note, as a general rule rule it's always safest to backup any of your cryptos using this method rather then from the client.  There has been cases where clients have corrupted the backup.

   So copy your wallet.dat into the hidden silkcoin folder. Make sure the one in there is deleted first or overwrite it  (you don't want two) and restart the client.  You'll see your coins come into the wallet as they were sent on the blockchain.

  Also don't try and stake while  the blockchain is syncing.  Can cause issues.

  One  more thing. Haven't heard recently but the chain was syncing slow before.  If you run into that issue you can download the blockchain.zip from github (main link at top of ann) and overwrite the files that are included with the .zip in the silkcoin folder.  Will skip the entire sync process. 

   Try syncing for now though and let me know how it goes. 

Ok,
I have stopped stressing now, sorry. I am tech retarded if you havent already noticed lol. I locatedmy dat file by going through artelous steps and found the wallet dat in %appdata% search. Saved it to a safe place.
I am running new client that is now syncing up and says balance 0. So I guess now all i need to learn is how to add the wallet dat file to the newly synced wallet so my balance returns.

Do I have this right? I hope so.

I was running 1.1.0.17 and then I downloaded the updated client on the website. I am not sure if the sending receiving address is the same one as the older backup as I removed my coins from mintpal and i think I created a new mintpal address but cannot remember as it was a few weeks back. is there a way to locate the client dat file by running a search on my computer files without the client running? or do you have to backup client  while client is running, I have 402,000 silkcoin and only have 225,000 backed up in a dat file on a stick drive. If the unbacked up coins are sent to another address does this mean i have lost my coins? can I locate them on my computer somehow? surely there is a way to get the dat file from my computer without client running. I wish I had not updated to the new client this is very stressful for a Sunday. This is what really puts me off crypto, problems like this that i have no ability to remedy.

@Arte

Well I see. The point of having a presence in many exhanges is to give people an occasion to buy.  But the downside is ''little market coin'' can't split between echanges without killing volume. I see it for fluttercoin (working for flt).  

But still I would avoid attacking exchanges - nothing good to get out of it imo. Mintpal is doing fine for a so young exchange.

Anyway i guess you guys have a plan - so i guess too i won't buy Silk on mintpal (was the reason of my question). I was thinking of eating a bit of the sell order book - but will find another spot.

If your old backup uses the same sending/receiving addresses, then it doesn't matter if only half the coins were there when you backed it up.  The wallet is basically just your key to the blockchain anyways.  No coins are really there...hope that makes sense.  Anyways, yes your old backup would be fine.

I cannot backup as client is not running to enable me to. I have a previous backup but its only half of the silkcoin.  Can I run an older version to get it running so I can back it all up?

Hey there.  Give this a try.
Note: Full uninstall required when upgrading from 1.0.9.3 or older if experiencing run-time issues.

For notes and direction on uninstall procedures please refer to this thread or email [email protected] if any persisting issues exist.

quick uninstall reference:
1. Ensure wallet.dat is backed up to a safe location.
2. Search %appdata%
3. Double click roaming
4. Double click and enter silkcoin folder
5. Delete everything in silkcoin folder except wallet.dat
6. Run new installer.

Also join the chat if you like and we can share screen shots and talk it out if you're still having issues.

 I'm assuming all your issues were with the old client and devs? Haven't seen your name here before.  Welcome.  We'll get it worked out.

Hi,
I just downloaded the updated client and the client has a fatal error. I then tried opening the old one and still the same. Here is the error. If crypto currency remains this problematic it will not be around for long as this is now the 5fth time i have had problems with the silkcoin client and I have several other coins and have never had any problems.

below is the error.


A fatal error occurred. Silkcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

Also if anyone is interested.   Need all the headers in the Ann updated to be on fire or pure steel. Or both. 

  I'll update Ann later with wordpress and silk chat.   This is really hard to do while I'm driving right now lol

Welcome USA! Lol
  It's good Cuz we'll know where to focus marketing.
 
  Course most yall are probably using us proxies lol nonetheless it's fucking cool.

  Also for anyone interested start a worpress and I'll add you into the multiuser so we can have categorized blogs about silk or anything crypto and now crypto metal related.

This is one thing I like about wordpress.
 (-:

If any designers are interested we need a camel depiction of baphomet. Preferably with an army helmet and breathing smoke through his nose.

YES! Hail the Camel. (-:€

urgh I am into gravity blasts and abnormal speeds on the drumset, willing to travel.

lets do this cameltosis !

  Uh. .. All I said is fuck mintpal if they decide to delist us.
  So I don't think that sufficient pr.. lol

  I think they may have realized that their purchase was stupid as the entire industry is moving decentralized and if exchanges don't evolve they'll be toast.

   Unfortunately after they said they'll be removing the long list of 'scam' or 'dead' coins they offered spots to other coins and then revoked them..
   
  Moolah is fiat not crypto.. and if anyone has noticed fiat corporate entry has had its balls cut off on numerous occasions and will continue to do so as the crypto communities evolve.

  Cryptsys mintsy is a damn fine idea and is the longest standing supporter of alts.  They do a very good job and the only exchange we need in the future Imo. 

    Poloniex has also been very good to us and are innovative.. just be nice if the Ddos attacks would stop lol!

  One thing about exchanges I've noticed.. everyone wants to get more exchanges more exchanges! Which creates a hype and a false inflation of value... then the price of the coin drops.. and the volume is split up between too many places.. rendering it nearly impossible for price to climb again. 

  Imo less exchanges, higher quality of exchanges and guerilla marketing is the way to go.

Hey guys,

Do Silk will be delisted by Mintpal ?  Someone tried to do some PR and market movement to avoid it ?
