I bought a lot just before the price went up: I am proud to be here now. And we are still waiting for the actual release! Well done everybody

Oh this coin is ridiculously undervalued for all the shit that they are working on for this coin!!! I'd buy as much as I could right now at these prices

..Solid community, Solid Dev Team - the number of people working on this project behind the scenes is hard to believe. Grows stronger every day

Once this is released, it's going to be a beast.... First off, not many silk in circulation at the moment.  Secondly Darksilk will have a super low circulation and obviously be higher in price, making silk desirable as well since the cost will be lower.  Thinking long term this is going to be a long way from where it's at price wise... Darksilk, Sky could be the limit.

Not many coins have things to show... 2016 is looking like Crypto is back!!!  Great job Dev...!

For those who have yet to invest in Silk be quick last cheap coins are going out fast!

No, I don't think its automatic. I believe that when Silk (SLK) launches we must send our coins to the Weaver to swap 1:1 Silkcoin (SILK) for Silk (SLK). The swap will be indefinite so no one misses out. 

Is this swapping of coins automatic? sorry for my technical ignorance 

Silkcoins will be swapped to the new Silk

DarkSilk is a totally new coin.

The specs:



Blocksize is being worked on.

Also the readme isnt final on GitHub and it needs a final check through to make sure everything is accurate.

So what will happen with old Silkcoins?

Is this DarkSilk a totally new coin? If so, what are the specs?

The fees and memberships of Weaver are actually really fair for the services that each membership tier receives. Even users with a free account will have more than enough functionality from Weaver to benefit from its services. The two top tier accounts are for heavy duty miners, traders and people who require automated tasks etc. This is not to say that fees and account costs wont be reassessed as the platform grows.

I've been here since summer 2014, the trust in this project from talking with Arteleis more than carried over to Spencer. This project is a rockstar!

Indeed there is a business model to it, profit just is important and Spencer understands this. Don't worry about SLK, it will have full backing from the project as a whole. Many might be tempted to swap Silkcoin->SLK->DRKSLK by lack of clearity surrounding SLK, but it will be rather hard to get more new.silk once prices rise. Last night Silkcoin hit 718 sat and fomo on the market has not even started, with a $100k market cap just imagine what will happen. Warning: The bagholder mentality of selling Silk with profit to enter DarkSilk is not necessarily the winning strategy. Buy more of either is lol  

Agreed, at least silk/drksilk will work, and we won't have to wait through dev stages. It is nice to see a dev team that is dedicated to the end product.

I guess where I was going is, the timing might be nice for miners with the drksilk release date looming. And the end point of other PoW stages on the horizon.
Any info on which gpu's hash better?

Also, about the market place. Who decides what can and can not be sold? Are restrictions going to be placed, or is it a un restricted market place?

One more, how does silk work within the network? Is it just going to be used for speculation and trade alone, or is it used as a fee or payment within the network also? This might have been covered already, but i've only gone back 70 odd pages in this thread.

I will also add that i've been with silk since day one. I still kept a working wallet staking the whole time. The community support is here, we just want to see some thing like we all envisioned as early adopters, 2 years ago.
Lost my own money on the livechains collapse, along with the silkpool. If there is a need I have kicked around the idea of opening another pool, or investing further into things. Just needs to be support for it. No sense loosing more money.

Why this relaunch can work is because Silk network as a company is making money from nodes and weaver accounts. It doesn't rely on the sale of donated or pre mine coins to sustain. It's a more sound business model than most coins.

I am sure fee's and memberships can be tweaked as silk matures.

Very bright future for silknet.

Still say this is the most undervalued coin on Poloniex...  Honestly this is going to be an epic couple of months... Awesome response by the way about releasing when the code is ready.  This is why Silk is going to rock...  Solid plan, solid coin...

"Hidden within the unspeakable depths of BTCTalk in the dank darkness of spam filled exclamations of countless meaningless threads, the camel marches on unfettered and stronger by the day."

Couldn't agree more!

just like i said above..
"no empty promises or fancy roadmaps"

New Silkcoin folder updated for quick sync  including nodes
For Newcomers
download and install the silkcoin wallet first
start the wallet for a minute or so then exit
Get the updated files: Download the silkcoin.zip file, it's around 900megs..
Files here On Google Drive

 
Then use the search feature for windows, and search for %APPDATA%
Once you're there click "Roaming" then goto the Silkcoin dir.
This is the folder where silkcoin wallet keeps the data

Then extract everything over, everything from silkcoin.zip file, into the silkcoin folder you found in the %APPDATA% search. Overwrite all.

Don't delete or play with your wallet.dat file.

PS: You only need to do this in case of trouble, loss of data, no sync wallet, or new to the silkcoin

Good syncing

The smart time to release will be once the code is ready and everything is fully tested

Might be smart to time the release with the start of Eth PoS. Lots of gpu's will need a home.
