Judge I understand your point of view, as I said this is to expose the theory to the community, the paper will be polished.
I think it was time the community knew what we planned for the future, could not wait another week with all that FUD going on.

Also yes, we are not used to academic publishing, and we tried to explain our vision the best way we could with the little time we had available. Development of the system is already quite advanced, this paper was mainly to explain to the community what we were doing since beta phase will come soon.

Next revision on friday will be way more polished as we are already getting inputs from the community.

We're still interested, just didn't get the time yet .
Thanks for your blog post, will send you a bounty.

Regarding the white paper this is a pre-release so everyone may have a look at the theory and concept it's not at ALL the final version, that's why it may appear incomplete or not well presented in some of its parts. Next revision will be released friday.
Also it's a.doc because we handed it over to some of the team members for proof-reading (don't want to have grammatical mistakes in the paper  )

Missing parts and details will be edited on the run, next revision will be released friday.
Enjoy !

Update for the white paper :

The white paper is almost ready and will be released at 2 PM GMT, so in about 12 hours.

If you need any information on the explorer you may contact Dasource on this forum, we gave him a bounty to create the explorer + the rich list, and he is also hosting them. The explorer is not even on our servers.

He can confirm any time.

Freelancer link was created the 3RD JUNE 2014, your scam is over.

I post the link once again to prove what I say :
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:FApT75sW9bkJ:https://www.freelancer.pk/jobs/SEO_7/3/+&cd=4&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=fr&client=firefox-a
(press Escape when it loads to prevent Freelancer from hiding the cached content)

This guy is the guy who wants to extort me of 20 BTC.

Okay so how to disprove this in 2 minutes :

- Silk-coin website was registered on "Creation Date: 15-Apr-2014" so how the hell would I by able to link to a non-existant website since the freelance states " Published at 06/03/2014 ", and even worse to a non existant blockchain.
- Blockchain and richlist were created by Dasource on BTCtalk he can confirm this.
- And since I'm pretty sure he made up all this scam, I made a little research and found this on google :
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:FApT75sW9bkJ:https://www.freelancer.pk/jobs/SEO_7/3/+&cd=4&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=fr&client=firefox-a

So he created the project on the 3rd june and made it appear to look it was earlier so he could extort us.

Edit : Sorry about the confusion since I know nothing of this freelancer ad, just noticed he just played with the date, it was the 3rd June 2014 that the offer was created and since it's shown as 06/03 he's trying to make us believe it was in march.

Okay, second blackmail attempt, I'm posting this so you guys know what's going on if some FUD comes our way again...

Maybe it's megaman since these are the two only extortion attempts we ever received and this is sent from a fresh new account and there's this 12 hours deadline again...


Extortion is a serious issue what's wrong with you guys?

And once again, the white paper is coming tomorrow !

It's the staking mechanism, the stake you won (the small amount) goes to another address, just like when you mine from the wallet. But it's available in your balance and if you want to choose you can choose inputs in coin control dialog to choose from which address to send.

That's part of what we are fixing for the next compile, but yea you're the only one who sent me a message with this issue Mintpal data seems to be working for most people. Once again if anyone got the same issue as WhiteNotWright please send me a PM.

And the white paper is coming tomorrow .

Oh and generated and not accepted may happen from time to time when you validate a block at the same time as someone else. Once it reaches 350 confirms, you will get your coins back and the coin age of those coins will not be reset, but you won't win the stake.

As I said earlier, the mac compile is coming in no time , we're fixing a few issues before compiling it so that most people use this version.
It will be compiled for sure before the end of the weekend with the fixes.

Here's the screenshot of the real message : http://oi57.tinypic.com/2v1qged.jpg . By the way we can even see your cheap photoshop since the spacing is different.

Told him we would not bribe him, he then answered he would FUD even more and bring in 4 of his friends to help him until Silkcoin is down.

Here is the screenshot of the blackmail : http://oi60.tinypic.com/zwyzwh.jpg

Even if lot's of things are legal down here, blackmail and extorsion are still illegal.

Hello to all,

Just a quick update about the white paper.

For those telling they got access to the paper, no one has read a line of it, not even the marketing team .

We will try our best to have it ready for tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will only be ready for tomorrow. (remember I said friday-saturday   )

Last thing, if the white paper is not good enough people will see it and price will drop. So there's absolutely no logic in all FUD talking here, the most logical move if we wanted to sell the premine was selling it when the price was at 8000 when we got on MintPal, or even better sell it before distributing half of it.

Anyway, you'll all be able to judge by yourself the facts when you'll be reading the white paper .

Ps : Just for the info, these FUDers asked to be bribed for their silence. Megaman is asking me 0.5btc to stop fudding and deleting his messages.

The mac compile is coming in 2-3 days with a small new version, we want most people to be on this compile that's why mac users will have to wait until then.
We're fixing a few present issues in the market tab to be sure it's 100% ready for trading integration of the next release, so the more users we have using this compile, the better.

Sorry about the delay. By the way, last version works perfectly you can still use it in the meantime.

Coming soon , the dev who owns the Mac didn't came in yesterday night so the compile will be done as soon as he comes to work today !

By the way those who are still having problems to pull mintpal data with the version in OP please send me a PM we want to make sure no one is having any problem.

Found a fix for the users with the overview page bugged and mintpal data not loading it's an openSSL dependency issue that's why it touched only a few people since most of us have it installed on our computers already. Just download the following files and put them in the same folder as the exe.

I have included the ssl dependency in the windows compile.

Last windows compile fully working is updated in all links and available here :
https://www.mediafire.com/?77ycqelhpaxc590
https://github.com/shnurf/silkcoin/releases/tag/v1.0.9.2


Okay now really time to sleep !

If you're having problems loading MintPal data download the fixed version http://www.mediafire.com/download/c1zil6kufvackie/silkcoin-qt-1.0.9.2-fix.zip it's not mandatory but it fixes a few glitches. I've updated the links with it. I took the time to compile it before going to bed so you may all fully enjoy the new features .

Ah! I forgot to talk about the phones apps... Well let's keep a bit of surprises at least. I'll talk about that later .

In the meantime => Cryptonator for iphone and price ticker app for android.
