[OLD THREAD] Silk Network: Silk, DarkSilk and Weaver

[OrsonJ]

Hello everyone!  Been reading closely, bought myself a sizeable chunk of silk and am happily staking away.  
I used the download files from the forum and was actually a quick and snappy install.  Just have a little glitch with the tiny camels when I stake - their heads are cutoff.

Will the new release fix the slight graphics details?  And can anybody teach me how to use the messenger feature on the wallet?  I cant seem to figure it out.
Or will the upgrade make messaging you guys from the wallet easier?  24 hours to release?  Did I read that correct?

Hello! Silkcoin will be swapped to Silk at some point in the near future, see the infographic in the op for the feature-list. The new release will have a new UI. If you've seen the blackcoin wallet it's basically that with a revamped colour scheme and a new logo. The old one may look snazzy with the starry backdrop and camels and whatnot, but run it for a while and you'll find it's a monster of a resource hog. I can't leave it open for too long as I don't like to see my laptop suffer. Running a wallet shouldn't max out cpu cores. Doubly so for a PoS coin. This won't be an issue with the new wallet and chain. The new version won't have instant messaging, but no one uses it after the novelty wares of so I wouldn't worry about it.

Silk will form a symbiotic relationship with DarkSilk and Weaver by way of mechanisms that at the moment are known only to the devs and Orestes, but presumably will be revealed to us at least in part in tomorrow's announcement.

You should really have done enough research to know most of this already before buying a sizeable chunk. Keep investing that way in projects on this forum and you'll quickly find yourself relieved of your satoshis hombre. Happily this time you're ok as the team seem dedicated and have been very diligent. I still don't know exactly what they're up to but I'm looking forward to at least some of the remaining blanks being filled in tomorrow.

Hello everyone!  Been reading closely, bought myself a sizeable chunk of silk and am happily staking away. 

Welcome, and keep staking!

I used the download files from the forum and was actually a quick and snappy install.  Just have a little glitch with the tiny camels when I stake - their heads are cutoff.
Will the new release fix the slight graphics details?  And can anybody teach me how to use the messenger feature on the wallet?  I cant seem to figure it out.
Or will the upgrade make messaging you guys from the wallet easier?  24 hours to release?  Did I read that correct?

We will move from the old wallet to a new wallet soon. Issues related to graphics and messaging do not apply on the new wallet. Tomorrow new information will be released about the direction that Silkcoin will take within the Silk network. This is exciting because up until this point DarkSilk claimed the limelight, after tomorrow Silk will stand toe to toe.

Price is creeping up nicely, anyone care to make a prediction for this time next week?

I'm gonna go for 5000 Sat.

5000 is too low for a crypto of this magnitude. We can can hit some historic highs on this one when all is said, and done.

EDIT: oh, you said by next week. Well, that's a pretty bold statement, but anything can happen in the crypto world the word gets out.

5K isn't bold if the software is good. We'll have to test it first, I have a feeling it will be good.

But I hadn't bought up my share of really cheap coins yet... my money was tied up in WSOP gambles.... now now i have to buy on rising edge....

It'll be interesting to see what happens once it gets some real volume!

Yup, this is only the beginning. I can easily see 10k very soon when people realize the potential of SILK. We have a lot of features, and an amazing community to back it up. Once ICO has been announced i can see it stabilizing around 15k. Exciting times for SILK. We are still in the baby stages.

Keep them on your wallet, it will be replaced by a new wallet in the near future.
Old Silkcoins will be swapped for new Silk [SLK], accompanied by a new wallet. The supply remains the same, we will increase your value.

Sit back and relax for today, the announcement later today might be earth-shattering in context of the Silk Network.

[Delita Heiral]

Well isnt this interesting

[Cryptotrader26]

Hi all,

I just bought some silk, did my back reading in the forum. I'm curious and excited about your announcement later today.

Cheers, and let's get this rocket started up 🚀🚀
