The first 420001 blocks of the DarkSilk blockchain will be able to be mined however after block 43 coins will mature and people will stake (or maybe not) and this will produce mined PoS blocks which also go towards the total 420001.
With this information your welcome to sit and do the math but currently I am busy sitting testing the wallet.
well.. just noticing our difference in plans here lol 42k blocks or 420 k blocks pow.. should swapping start at the beginning? should we have swap/burn phases perhaps? start the weaver at a certain block? I believe this is something to be discussed.
So about 120 days or over 3 years. The latter seems to make more sense, but I still don't get why you're having a PoW phase and not doing a straight swap to be honest. I know, I know sand and scorpians and 42 etc. but it'd be a reward to the people who've held tight to have the value increased by people buying Silk/DarkSilk. Instead that money, instead of coming direcly into the Silk economy, goes to electricity companies and the number of coins is increased dramatically.
