Can you do local harvesting with Nanowallet?

Is there any bounty I can contribute to for hardware wallet support? Preferably TREZOR.

Has there been any word on plans in the future to decrease the required vested balance to run a supernode?

No, I meant sending Silkcoin to my Silkcoin wallet at Silknetwork.org. Transaction shows up in blockchain explorer but not in the online wallet balance.

Hi,

Is old Silkcoin transferred to Silknetwork supposed to be showing up in the online wallet yet?
Is this something I should be doing now or waiting to a later date?
Sorry if this was addressed recently, I scrolled through a few pages but couldn't find anything.

Hello,

regading the website:
is it possible to change "A DECENTRALISED, ANONYMOUS AND
SECURE ALTERNATIVE TO FINANCE"

to "A DECENTRALISED, ANONYMOUS AND
SECURE ALTERNATIVE IN FINANCE"

or "A DECENTRALISED, ANONYMOUS AND
SECURE FINANCIAL ALTERNATIVE"

Despite this they managed to move XCR from their cold wallet and invest in LISK ICO themselves?

Just to let you know, this happened to me as well.

Can confirm, I tried to withdraw XCR from BTER to divert to LISK ICO.
Initially transaction was on hold for 4 days.
When it went through it went through with fake TxID, does not show up on blockchain explorer, does not show up in wallet.
Now that ICO is finished, support is contacting me asking me to send them my "blockchain.db" file.
As far as I am concerned BTER stole from me and it seems that they have invested my funds in the ICO.

Awesome, thank you very much.
I have a BTER withdrawal that is stuck and trying everything I can think of to try facilitate things.

Thanks again.

Hi, can anyone please send me one XCR to 1693795196483532683C, it seems my wallet does not work with 0 balance.

Will be much appreciated and will pass it forward.

Somewhat off-topic but this made me think of what it would be like if bitcoin becomes as wide spread as cellphones and internet.
In my mind it is still a binary outcome: succeed or fail.

If all bitcoins in existence at the moment gets divided and distributed equally to the world population then everyone would get:
13 410 950 / 7 125 000 000
= 0.00188224 BTC
= 1 882.24 bits per person


Global "wealth" apparently: $263 000 000 000 000
population 7.125 billion
263 000 000 000 000 / 7 125 000 000
= 36 912.28 $ per person

 
Some news headlines recently:
Woman working 4 jobs to make ends meet dies while napping in car between shifts
Richest 1% own 50% of world wealth- Credit Suisse report

From same report:
Prediction for 2019 is global "wealth" of $369 trillion.

369 trillion/ 14 million
= 26 357 142.85 $/bitcoin if all $ replaced by bitcoin in 2019
= 26.36 $ per bit

Did I do the math right?
It doesn't seem right but I can't find my mistake.


Edit for clarity:
I am not suggesting for a moment bitcoin will replace anything. This exercise was purely for fun playing with numbers that are too big for me to comprehend easily.

With the weaver I hope for future projects:

1. Super simple silk staking wallet interface
-basically a tiny window with just my balance and one button to unlock for staking

2. Bitcoin headers-first protocol applied to Silkcoin

Thistleblower I hope one or both of these would solve your (and other users) issues.

Lol
yeah.

Hi,

The topic you posted about is quite interesting to me.

Unfortunately it is a very hard one to discuss and the reason why I considered to directly message you rather than posting on the board: there are too many people in the world with very strong emotions and not enough vocabulary to discuss the topic of religion and existentialism.

I would like to offer my opinion on you uncle's dilemma.

I think he is both right and wrong.
In a way any endevour that tries to enhance humanity could be seen as Satanism. Or at least Luciferianism.
Lucifer was after all the light and knowledge bringer. The first sin in the bible was where humans wanted to have knowledge and become more like God.
When they all banded together to build a tower, God punished them and broke them up by confusing them and their language to stop them "from becoming like us."

Your uncle works as a doctor. This could be interpreted more as working in the realm of Lucifer than of old testament God.
Reason I say this is because in this interpretation anything that goes against the natural order of things is working against God and using science to fight disease is one of those things. If he uses the internet this is the same as taking a bite from the fruit of wisdom. (In fact if he uses an Apple product it even has a symbol of a fruit with a bite taken from it.) If he has published any medical literature, it is the same as helping build the tower of Babel.

That is why the Amish live the way they live. It explains a lot of why some groups of people do what they do.
Unfortunately most people don't actually think about it deep enough and accept all the implications of their chosen ideology.

A true follower of the Abrahamic old testament god would be entitled to live like an animal in the way that they perceive that god created them. It is the epitome of survival of the fittest and in that world the vulnerable die of disease and the weak suffer at the hands of the strong. This is the natural order.
In a transhumanist idealogy we aim to become more than animals and we see the potential. This comes with its own dangers and we risk (and in fact aim for) losing our humanity. As you can see from bible stories, we are warned against trying to do this again and again. Floods, calamities etc.

Jesus was quite different and reinterpreted the old testament for us. In Jesus philosophy we look after the weak and care for the sick. This is contrary to the old testament god. Loving each other and forgiving enemies is not what the old testament was about. You could see Jesus as the messiah who gave us the ideology to transcend our previous animal instincts, him being a transhumanist himself then. This might be one of the reasons he was killed by the ancient Jews who lived in the old system.
On the basis of Christianity, the western world was built which includes airplanes, ipads and wifi.
This is a spirit of cooperativeness and better communication and caring. It goes against our baser human instincts. It seeks to end war.
Bitcoin is a part of that and so I see it as in line with Christian teachings.
But as I said earlier, it is also against the old testament god and in line with actions that our ancestors warn us about.

With everything comes risk.
With international travel and airplanes we run the risk of pandemics. Like Ebola.

How I personally reconcile these two points of view:
I see Bitcoin as a positive force in the world. It is not evil. It is unifying and empowers the weak and poor. It is in line with the philosophy of a doctor.
I realize that humanity is a system that we don't understand. Reality is something we don't understand. We make mistakes and civilization have been wiped out before. This might happen again and if it does it is meant to happen and the will of God. With this uncertainty we carry on.

Edit for clarity:
Please when commenting on this post don't assume it completely describes my belief system. I believe God does not exist.
My aim was not to discuss my beliefs but to discuss the conflict his uncle is experiencing and show how within his belief system I think it is warranted but still reconcilable.

I have just made the easiest quickest and cheapest BTC purchase ever.
I am very impressed with Circle.

My BTC purchase history:

1. Mined early: Quickly perceived to become a poor return thanks to the fact that I prefer Nvidia gfx cards. (Irony is that at today prices I should've kept mining!) Spent most of that mining on stupid purchases purely for the novelty of using magic internet money.

2. Buy local: 10%-20% markup from local sellers and they keep coming in and out of existence, generally fear that I will get ripped off. Bought some of my most expensive BTC like this.

3. Decide to use an exchange. Decide poorly. Decide... ((shudder)) on mtgox. Costs me to transfer money to Japan but cheaper than buying second hand local. My bank now has a file on me I am sure. Time delays but manage to get BTC into local wallet. Get confused and dilute BTC into numerous alts and other exchanges. Too much fun to stop. Need more BTC. Send more money to Japan. Things go horribly wrong. BTC now sadly stuck in limbo.

4. Thinks to try OKPAY. Another bad decision. Verification, rip offs etc. Experiment costs me a small amount but fingers burnt.

5. Considers mining but can't trust hardware companies and now too sceptical of everyone and everything. Calculates that it is cheaper and safer to just buy BTC.

6. Back to buying local. Finds a great vendor. Sees the light and realizes this is the way it is supposed to be. Puts up with 10% markup for vendor.

7. Decides to try Circle. 18h00: make account. 18h10: link credit card. 18h12: deposit $500. 18h13: withdraw 1.3BTC to wallet.
So far I am impressed! Someone please stop me and tell me if you think I am heading for another (3) or (4).

The human that feels he is wasting his time can always code a bot to do the mining for him.
The bot didn't just magically appear in the bot owners hands.
If you can't code bots then you mine with your eyes, brain and hands. You get to play a fun game at the same time!

Hey everyone,

Very exciting to see the voting function in the new wallet!
These are still the first steps along a very exciting journey.
The ecosystem we have been discussing and dreaming, hoping, planning, is beginning to form.

All we need to do is get the first few moves right and the system protects and grows itself.
Bitcoin is so beautiful in its simplicity and design and thanks to that, made all of this possible.
Like mentioned before, the cryptocurrency system as a whole is busy evolving every second and all of it predicted on the Bitcoin foundation.
It reminds me a bit of Conway's Life or a complicated game of dominoes: beginning conditions are everything.

The only problem is that the natural selection and evolution happening in crypto world is very haphazard with so much reiteration and replication that a lot of energy goes to waste. In that wasted space is where my dreams grow for an "intelligent" cryptocurrency (doesn't really matter which one but Silkcoin by far the closest by virtue that the community and hence the coin itself has already hijacked its own further development.)

I imagine it a bit like a colony of ants trying to build a sand castle.
Bitcoin is the template of what this small creature, the unit of worker (an ant in my scenario) should look like.
It has all the features needed to pick up sand and move it from one spot to another. Fully self sufficient.
The only problem is that with all the other ants it has a hard time coordinating the actual structure of what it is building.
Of course there are mechanisms in place, a form of communication based on smells, pheromones and other clues, that help the ants communicate and some form of building to take shape.

With Silkcoin I hope for a metamorphosis. If we have the basic template for an organism to move sand from one place to another (the work performed in our scenario), why not expand on this idea until we don't need a hundred other clones? Why not take those elements but make our worker grow in size, give it a new nervous system, a better brain? Now instead of a colony of ants building a sandcastle it will more resemble a human building a sand castle. A single entity with many parts that all make up a unit and work in concert to build something that the individual ants could not even dream of.

The feedback system, the nervous system starts with the wallet and communication and voting as an integral part of it.

Our developers are not just programmers, they are genetic engineers, creating a new life form.


At the moment we have one topic we are voting on:
You're voting for: Voting platform URL
1. vote.silkcoin.io (52%)
2. soapbox.silkcoin.io (17%)
3. poll.silkcoin.io (30%)

It costs 10 SILK to vote. I voted for option 1.
I personally feel that my SILK gained from staking is fair game to be used in voting and enhancement. It did not cost me anything, I keep my wallet open to support the infrastructure.
I would be happy to send all my SILK gained from staking to causes I care about.

The SILK used in voting ends up being sent to a specific address that accumulates this fund.
The website to host the voting ideas is being created (hence us voting on it).
I have not spoken to the dev team about the future implementation so everything from here on is conjecture:

All the basic elements already exist to make this possible:

Bob wants SILK to incorporate a marketplace idea.
He wants a tab on the left that says "Bazaar" and if you click on it, it shows you a list of items/services that are linked to a Silkcoin address and is priced in $/BTC/SILK. Vendors can list items as per any other online marketplace, except he envisions a semi-decentralized version that pulls data from multiple sources (a bit like the "Market Data" tab). Bob has an idea for increased security by having the data supplied encrypted and then decrypted by the wallet based on a vendor supplied key. He also has an idea for having some vendors blocked or delisted for objectional sales/material based on community feedback and vote. (Examples of objectional sales would be nuclear weapons or your mother.) 

So Bob wants to raise funds for this as well as get community feedback on the merits of the idea.
He is well known in the community and trusted so people are happy to use him as the escrow for the "idea/vote fund".
If he wasn't, he would have to find someone trusted or take the slim chance that people will find him trustworthy.

Now he submits his idea to vote.silkcoin.io.
In the wallet there now appears under "Polls" tab: Bob's bazaar idea.
There is a link to a forum or other site with more information.
There is a drop down menu with options as discussed and contained in the extra information.

Space is limited on the "Polls" tab, so Bob has to put up a certain amount of SILK to have his idea listed.
He thinks this will really help the whole of Silkcoin and cryptocurrency so he sells his electric guitar which he never plays for $1000 and buys SILK. This SILK he submits to the vote fund and can be traced on blockchain explorer.
Since this vote now has a significant fund backing it, it rises to the top 20 of votes running and appears in the "Polls" tab.

Now Mary opens her wallet.
She has 50 000 SILK because she was a clever early adopter.
She really likes Bob's idea and an implementation described as option 2 makes the most sense to her and looks like the one most likely to be feasible. (Alternatively Bob has perhaps already found a developer who said it would be possible to do this and will take on the job if he could raise $20 000 and option 2 is in fact this developer who Mary has heard of before and trusts.)

So now Mary funnels her SILK gained from staking into option 2 of this specific idea.
Mary is not unique in thinking this is a good idea and another 50 people join her in the same way.
Bob set the time to 6 months to gain enough exposure and raise enough funds.
At the end of 6 months it is obvious which option won and how much SILK was raised and the SILK is now available to make the idea chosen by the community a reality.

While it is being implemented, the SILK in the vote wallet is silently staking and becoming more valuable.
A brilliant developer unleashes the new wallet with Bazaar implemented.
Bob pays the developer from the vote fund, conditions of payment or refund all described as per a contract on the initial idea-submission-page on vote.silkcoin.io.


End of story of Bob.

Jack came along later with an idea of how to make the whole system function without requiring reputation or trust but that is another story for another time.
 

Arteleis, I have had a tiring day at work and have to say that your posts made me smile.
Thanks for your passion in all of this.

Regarding my voting idea discussed a few posts previously and what we discussed on google docs, I firmly believe we will get there some day and that this is all part of the evolution.
You and our current development team are doing a great job and it is enormously appreciated.

It is a shame Satoshi disappeared... we need developers.
Satoshi, if you are reading this please come work on Silkcoin.
We have only scraped the top layer of what is possible with decentralized peer to peer technology!

All in first post is axiomatic truth.

In simplicity lies the beauty of perfection.
Simplicity even with imperfection is beautiful.
Wabi-sabi I suppose.
