That's actually a ridiculously cool splash screen.

Silk Splashscreen:



I have one more change I can make with the graphic designer before it's final.

Ignore the styling as the old Silkcoin blockchain isn't going to be of use for much longer.

But for those who require an explorer prior to the swap - http://silkexplorer.silknetwork.org/

The purpose is to provide a network that encapsulates two cryptographic currencies sharing a safe platform that is trusted and are trusted. Silk will be developed further, with Stormnodes, Smart Contracts and more. Weaver is a centralised site that utilises decentralised services. Transactions and messaging are decentralised and handled by either the Bitcoin, DarkSilk or Silk networks. If the fees are for transactions from a DarkSilk wallet to another DarkSilk wallet (same for BTC and SLK) the fees are that of the networks which goes to the nodes, plus a withdrawal fee which goes towards the funding of Weaver.
Are stormnodes necessary? DRKSLK will have them...

Smart Contracts sounds cool because its the hype of the moment but why not load all the tech on DRKSLK and do away with SLK? Now you are creating 2 coins which essentially could be loaded into one. This would make DRKSLK more attractive for investors. Now they will have to split their money, which with all the coins out there, has already been diluted several times over. Why choose SLK over Ethereum or Factom?

Our aim is to decentralise the entire Weaver platform into both DarkSilk and Silk directly and onto the blockchain. We do not like centralisation in any form as much as the next user.
That is awesome. This was the only concern I had with the weaver!

I would say that SLK is an easy gateway for users to start using and being a part of the Silk Network and DRKSLK is for the advanced user and as you put it, "an in-depth service layer", as such.
 
SLK sounds like it is kept above average to appease the public, while DRKSLK is where its at.
It is my believe that concessions get you killed, the public is a horrible mistress...

SLK is the backbone of the Silk Network acting as a monolithic cryptographic currency. Technological advancement for SLK is not necessary, unlike DRKSLK, however, smart contracts and a marketplace for SLK in the future are an option that could be of use to users.

Why choose SLK over Ethereum or Factom?

I wouldn't choose SLK over Ethereum or Factom but would in fact decide upon using DRKSLK as an alternative to those.

So is the chain starting from zero with SLK?  There will in theory be a large amount of SILK lost during the transition(stuff in cryptsy, unclaimed polo addresses etc), so will the projected amount of SLK available at launch be much less than SILK that exists now?

Also what is the purpose of SLK if DRKSLK is basically a better coin in all ways?  It seems like you more or less built a coin from scratch with the amount of work youve put into it, and then attached it to the SILK network/name because of its community/name/price, and as an entry point into weaver, which is essentially a centralized platform, yes?  Do weaver fees go to nodes processing the transactions/performing services or do they go to the dev crew to maintain the weaver platform?

Also I was originally under the impression that SLK would also have masternodes that ran services on top, but since that isnt the case, what purpose does it actually serve besides being one of a myriad of functional coin networks?  Is there anything planned that will actually use both networks(besides weaver, which sort of depends on SLK/DRKSLK, not the other way around)

Should I look at SLK as a quick and easy-to-use payment method, and DRKSLK as more of an in-depth service layer?

So is the chain starting from zero with SLK?

Yes, well, block 1, we lost block 0 (Genesis) that had no coins in it. Wink

There will in theory be a large amount of SILK lost during the transition(stuff in cryptsy, unclaimed polo addresses etc), so will the projected amount of SLK available at launch be much less than SILK that exists now?

We will snapshot the amount of Silkcoin (SILK) in circulation just prior to the launch of Silk (SLK), addresses attaining Silkcoin (SILK) after the will not be eligible for the swap. The swap is indefinite to start with as we know there are a lot of holders of Silkcoin (SILK) that will come out of the woodwork down the road, some of which could be large investors and we do not want to see anyone losing any investment or time.

Short answer, the same as the amount of Silkcoin in circulation as at the point of launch of Silk.

So another question which might have already been answered is how exactly will the swap be performed? I know that might sound kind of stupid but I've never done a swap for a coin before.

Nice and easily.

1. Deposit your Silkcoin (SILK) to your Weaver online wallet.
2. Enter the Swap section of Weaver.
3. Select the amount of Silkcoin (SILK) to swap 1:1 with Silk (SLK) and submit.
4. Your Weaver wallet will be credited with Silk (SLK).

I saw quite a lot of volume on Poloniex lately, more than 2 BTC. Someone sold and someone bought a good stash.
This coin is really moving along.

Yeah that last price sold is below the price its been at by about 100 satoshi, good time to buy.

If I have SilkCoin now, what will be the process to exchange old coin for the new one? or it will be the same and the new coin will have the same blockchain?

SilkCoin (SILK) will be renamed Silk (SLK) with a new blockchain and with an improved wallet and source code. You will be able to exchange your SilkCoin for Silk via Weaver on silknetwork.org at a 1:1 ratio. The launch date of Silk is TBD.

Okey, much appreciated. I will keep accumulating SILK.

If I have got it on Poloniex, I will need to with manually too?
AFAIK Polo's addresses will be snapshotted so that we will know the exact amount that need to be swapped. I know it's a third-party exchange but it seems the best place to keep your SILK before they will be able to be swapped for SLK.
Am I right?

We will be ironing out the best way for users to get their funds in order in preparation for the swap. We are looking to launch Weaver for registrations before the Silk launch and allow users to send their Silkcoin to their online wallet and then swap to Silk once the swap becomes available.

If something happens to you Spencer you should open a thread in the Scam Accusations thread so that mods and everyone here will be aware of it.
But that seems a very stupid scam attempt IMO.
Don't worry.

0.01BTC, laughable.

His address http://blockr.io/address/info/1HpKWsnU9oov7BDimWLpXfvEphE3iCjCcw

No transactions.

Not a very successful blackmailer.

With not much investigation, simply searched the email address on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/manojit.mukherjee.16?fref=ts

Hello Blackmailer  Grin



I cannot believe he used his real name and email address, utter stupidity.
