Some node please?

The future is not set, what is important is that there will be a swap period.
The outset is that there will be two mature coins.

For now it is best that core development proceeds.

Thanks!

Also is the swap period forever, or is it a limited time frame type of thing?

Happy to report that I have gotten the sandstorm.cpp/h sandstorm-relay.cpp/h activestormnodes.cpp/h stormnode.cpp/h instantx.cpp/h stormnode-pos.cpp/h stormnodeconfig.cpp/h stormnodeman.cpp/h rpcsandstorm.cpp/h up to date with Dash version 12.0.55

However the core of the code has a way to go still

Thank you

I wouldn't worry about the price so much. Yes big chunks are hard to come by...I had to resort to cryptsy to pick up a couple hundred thousand additional silk.

The way I see it is the price is so cheap I don't mind buying up to 145sats if I can get a large enough chunk.

Sweet logo CryptoJohn!  Oh, and i'm buying silk! but it's hard to buy a good amount without jacking up the price

I'm going to be as gentle as I can as all the answers to your questions are in the last 10 pages or so and if you are going to invest/speculate you owe it to your self to read a bit before you drop $.

1) Dev has stated there will be a swap period.
2) Release date has not been announced
3) IMHO you should be buying up silk just dont under bid my buys. This is a win win as swapped silk will be burned thus reducing silk supply.

Hey guys I've been lurking through here the past couple days. First and foremost I would like to say I am extremely happy and grateful for the time and energy the devs have put in this. Your hard work shall not go unnoticed.

So my question is how do I trade my silk for drk? When will it be released exactly? Also should I buy more silk off the exchanges or should I wait until darksilk is released? Thanks so much, and continue the spectacular work!

P.S. The crypto exchange you guys made inside the wallet is amazing. Real game changer.

market.cpp/h etc. are still within the code, I was hoping you would finish up the marketplace code prior to launch.

I have been looking at CTransaction and CMutable and it involves changing a lot elsewhere in the code

Did I review the wrong code or do you have another repo? 

I'm glad you included theses and other fixes.  I only named a few.  I know you have been working really hard on DarkSilk.

Are you including Sling's market in the first version or did you remove it?

I am

I am bringing the codebase up to 12.1

Currently I am between 11.2 and 12.1 of Dash.

There are still a lot of differences such as CCoins too

DarkSilk will launch with these changes you mention in place

Some suggestions for DarkSilk (I reviewed https://github.com/SCDeveloper/DarkSilk-Release-Candidate):

• Move CTransaction into src/primitives/transaction.cpp/h and add/utilize CMutableTransaction struct
• Split CBlock with CBlockHeader in main.cpp/h and move into src/primitives/block.cpp/h. Utilize CBlockHeader
• Implement else if (strCommand == "headers") in ProcessMessage (main.cpp).
• Add functions to main.cpp to better handle block downloading problems and orphan blocks memory usage like MarkBlockAsReceived, AddBlockToQueue, MarkBlockAsInFlight.

For CMutableTransaction, CBlockHeader, ProcessMessage and MarkBlockAsReceived.., see Bitcoin's latest version.

Some of these can be delayed to later versions but why not re-base with the latest before you start your new coin/chain?  I'm not sure all this can be done to a POS coin but I'm in the process of trying with BTX and Sling.

You have been doing alot of hard work and really deserve a well earned break after launch, i can wait for as long as it takes, do it right first time! 

Well it was my birthday yesterday and it passed without a hitch.

Sadly (not really ) I was working on DarkSilk all morning, day and night and had actually not slept Halloween night as I stayed working from the 31st till about 6pm on the 1st, passed out and just woke now.

You guessed it, I'm working on the code again lol

The reality is this, I work all the f'ing time on DarkSilk and crypto, but I love it, I am not one of these developers that doesn't enjoy what I do. I am as hyped for the launch as you guys and was only tonight talking to my friend about how I am looking forward to doing the HTML5 wallet design and progressing the Weaver services it offers after launch. Even my friends who come over and see me at my computer all the time ask me "When will I be finished?" and "When are you launching it?" to which I reply "When I am done and happy". They all say the same thing, "That's fair enough"

I know you guys just want the wallet now and want to launch ASAP and want want want, but let's be honest, wouldn't you rather I take my time, test, fix, secure and overall ensure a smooth and successful zero hour alongside limiting the reason to fork for any reason? I am sure the answer is a resounding "Yes!".

Here is what I would like to to do.I want to hold a meeting, on Skype or Google Hangouts (either/or) and I want input on peoples thoughts of the current specifications of DarkSilk, what they expect/like to see and don't like to see from a launch of an altcoin, what people would like to see at launch or in particular the future (we already have a lot for launch, lol), if people would want to be a part of a foundation or even to be a part of the marketing/promotion of DarkSilk.

Here is how it will work. No set time, yet, just PM me your email address you most frequently check, I will then formulate a list of everyone and mail out a choice of times, select the time that is best for you, I will then correlate the results and select the best time for the meeting. It will then be publicly posted here in the thread for all to join in case they didn't see this message originally.

Talk soon

I second that.

So far the amount of "holes" that I have sealed are all the known exploits. If you know something we don't (which is possible) then let us know

Just wondering what "exploits" you have in mind. Things like this can be avoided with heavy testing. And if users are made aware of the exploit. If you dont feel comfortable posting this send me a pm

best post for a long time:

"waiting for exploits..."

edit:
looked at new git, looks way better

OK so I can confirm that Crave, 8Bit and various other coins that are using the same codebase that DarkSilk started on i.e. Blackcoin + Masternodes + Darksend + InstantX only had/have their Masternodes working and not Darksend nor InstantX.

However I can confirm that DarkSilk's Stormnodes (Masternodes), Sandstorm (Darksend), InstantX, PoSv3, Split Stake are all working. This is not to say that I do not need to do more work in refining the Stormnode payments system (just a couple of days work for that).



As you can see the Sandstorm has a balance, completion amount and message stating "mixing in progress".

At the moment you can mix over a maximum of 8 rounds with a maximum of 2000DRKSLK. The largest amount that can be sent via Sandstorm is 9,999,999DRKSLK with the largest denomination being 100,000DRKSLK going down to 0.001DRKSLK.

So I have some work to do still. Weaver is still being built.

No launch date is set. No ninja launch will happen.

Please bear in mind I have been working on DarkSilk since around April.

imo, the 45mil premine is necessary. It allows silk holders to swap silk for drkslk, if they so choose. And its not a traditional sketchy "premine" like we see in crypto. What we are doing is completely transparent and gives everybody the same chance to get their part of the "premine" via silk swap.
