If it is stuck at block 60000 (what I think) You need to download the new wallet, because there was a hardfork at that block.

You can download the new wallet here  https://github.com/hanzlambrecht/silkcoin/releases/

Delete your old silkcoin client everything in your Appdata folder except wallet.dat

Than open new Silkcoin client and download the new blockchain again.

Why is this transaction not showing up in my wallet?

http://explorer.silk-coin.com/tx/a2129003163bfdb7a0be97bd923eb4e5f87e194b1014d786fe4958e00bae5c22

This shows posting into my wallet: B63cYyt5Byf1WtYVZZ1AcQn2oMVYb1CBgP

But the SC client 1.0.9.3 synced to the current block chain does not display the transaction?

Was there a fork as well?

Already contaced another multipool to suggest SilkCoin as pay out.

Also contacted grtthegreat for adding SilkCoin as a payment option for Microsoft products. (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/microsoft-products-for-altcoins-ltcdogeaerofiresilksyncvoot-680628)

We can consider to implement the new PoW phase at block 105000-110000, that gives us 8000-13000 blocks to implement the new code and hardfork the coin. that is 5 days-9 days

#Just some ideas


Yeah i would be OK with that, it would spark interest back in the coin i think, the key may be in setting the right block reward, to spread this POW phase over a month i reckon, not a week like last time.

Interest only for getting coins in the cheap and dumping them. Care to explain how it sparks other interest in the project?


It just gives a chance for people to get into the coin as a relaunch, but i do agree that a multipool is probably a better option at the current prices, i think there are advantages and disadvantages to both options.
Either way, a multipool is a must.

Don't they have the chance to get in now? What do they want? Ahhh, cheap coins? Well... there is the market to get them. Supply and demand. Generating new coins makes no sense to me. Sorry. Smiley It will lower the value of each coin and it will bring us to the same exact point in about a month. Useless.

The excellent work that is being done should be convincing enough for anyone with long-term thinking to get in.


Agree 100%

Thank you for blockchain info. I will tell cheesy jokes on the hive thread until they add silkcoin.....if for no other reason than to get me to shut up. LOL.

Can someone please tell me what block we are on currently. I have the wallet syncing and want to make sure it is correct before I send any silk to it. Thank you.

I talked with a staff member of Coinking, there is a possibility of adding the coin, but he wants to speak with one of the devs first.

You can connect him on Freenode #Coinking, and private message Jool

Ad Libertas!
I'm not a fan of extra PoW unless it's very low reward.  The fact of the matter is that no miner that is in it to pump and dump would mine a coin that is selling for 493 satoshi on Cryptsy, especially if the block reward is small.  Now, that being said.  If want to do it for the novelty miners or people getting into it, that's fine but would it be worth the time spent by the team?  That's the question we have to answer.

IMO, I think the time is better spent promoting, marketing and coding the new features.

ALL of that being said, I think a multipool that pays out in SC would be an amazing idea.  I would gladly point my 15MH to that pool because that would save me a step.  I'm literally mining x11 startups, dumping and buying SC.  Every day.  Haha Smiley

Yes i saw hive wallet mentioned on trello, i think this is a very good idea if we can get on board with that.

Your right, probably no real advantage in adding another POW stage,  perhaps we can tweak the POS phase to increase the reward slightly for a few blocks as an incentive to get people staking and keeping the network going strong.

Small yearly inflation could do the coin good aswell.

Making another PoW.. I dont think this is good.

What if the coin is on its back again in few months... We take another PoW..?

Like I said yearly inflation to keep the network alive could be a good thing

New PoW stage is only cool for communication/marketing/visibility of Silkcoin, nothing else.

But what amount are you going to make the PoW phase?

How many blocks?

You also need to hardfork the chain again.

If we are planning to add a 3rd PoW phase, I would like to propose a PoW phase of 7 million coins. (that will give us approx 50 million coins total)

Maybe 7000 blocks, that gives us 1000 coins per block.

in 24 hours we are passing 1500 blocks.

We can consider to implement the new PoW phase at block 105000-110000, that gives us 8000-13000 blocks to implement the new code and hardfork the coin. that is 5 days-9 days
