Rebranded to Duality Blockchain Solutions

The problem with Silk is that it doesnt have good marketing. You guys need to start speaking at events or make atleast youtube-lectures.

SLK total supply = 44 million coins
DSLK total supply = 4 million coins

To achieve the parity in market cap (which is one of the underlying principle of Silk network) shouldn't the swap be at 11 SLK : 1 DSLK?
or am i missing something here?

Is it actually possible to buy into DRKSLK ICO with SLK?

I can only see its possible with BTC.

Week 2.

OK, i should have left my silk in the weaver,  its still in queue to withdraw to my wallet, i guess i will have to send some back to do the swap.

Matthew is really ill with a stomach flu (caught from the kids) and is a little slower at processing the transactions than the said hour, for obvious reasons (he is only human).

Do rest assured, like said before, if on the blockchain explorer you see your TX at your Weaver address, then it is there and safe.

I have been forwarding all emails from users asking about their TX's directly to him and they will be updated ASAP.

Thank you for all for your understanding with this matter and sorry.

(Before anyone asks, no, Weaver TX's are not being handled manually forever)

Thats all good, i did a test transaction of 1 SILK a couple of days ago, went through all good

Im only OCD about this because in the past ive lost coins when withdrawing from or sending to an exchange because ive been on a fork and never realised.

I agree, You guys should make YouTube videos, and speak at conferences, so we can be more known in the crypto world. Right now there is little to no marketing, and quite honestly you guys should've marketed it ahead of time before the ICO.

P.S. I've been following for quite some time. I don't post often due to my schedule, but I am an avid follower, and will continue to invest more during the dips. Let's keep on marching!

Team Interview with CoinInterview | 30th September 2016


The questions that will be covered:

Code:

What is Silk Network? 

What is the connection with Silk Road/Camel icon? 

Why did you choose that over another icon?

Is this project/network in anyway connected with the DNM's like Alpha Bay?

What is the nature of the company you have setup in the UK?

What kind of clients work with you?

How is this business planning on surviving and making revenue?

What encryption methods do you use on the network?

What is Weaver?

What is the difference between Silk and DarkSilk?

What are the Stormnodes?

Is this network over the ClearNet or does it use Tor?

How are you compared to other privacy centred coins like Monero, Dash or ShadowCash?

Do you have any questions? Let us know on slack

HowTo

Preparations

- For fresh Raspbian Installations
(I'm using here the newest minimal Image)

.. Flash it on your SD Card
.. Start your Raspberry Pi
.. run

Code:

sudo raspi-config

and configure all what u need
.. restart your Raspberry Pi

.. Update your installation list

Code:

sudo apt-get update

.. Update your Raspbian

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

- ROOT user

If you never used root on your raspberry pi

Code:

sudo passwd root

(enter the wanted password for root user)

Code:

su root

(enter the password for root user)

- BerkeleyDB
(MUST be done as root, SUDO dont work)

Code:

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install git
apt-get install libssl-dev
apt-get install autoconf
apt-get install libtool
apt-get install libboost-all-dev
apt-get install libdb5.3-dev
apt-get install libdb5.3++-dev

(If you get any errors, feel free to contact me)

Code:

mkdir /Berkeley
cd /Berkeley

(I'm building in that folder the needed BerkeleyDB, should not be changed)

Code:

wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic
make && make install

(Downloading , extracting, configure and compiling of the BerkeleyDB 4.

Code:

exit

or

Code:

su your-SLK-user

- SLK download and compiling

Code:

cd ~

(or jump to the folder where u want the SLK source , SLK folder is created from git)

Code:

git clone https://github.com/SilkNetwork/Silk-Core SLK
cd SLK
./autogen.sh 
./configure --disable-tests LDFLAGS="-L/Berkeley/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix" CPPFLAGS="-I/Berkeley/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix"
make

(now the SLK client is almost ready)

Code:

cd src
cp silkd ~
cp silk-cli ~
cp silk-tx ~
cd ~
strip silkd
strip silk-cli
strip silk-tx

(Replace the ~ with the folder where u want your SLK client)

- Starting SLK Client

Code:

./slikd --daemon

(Currently u get an error of RPC User/Pass)

Before u start it again , edit the silk.conf file in the .silk folder
listen=1 ---> listen=0
(Possibly it will be fixed in upcoming releases)

- Stop the Daemon

Code:

./silk-cli stop

If this HowTo is helpfull then it would be nice if u help me with some SLK
SYZU8arw9LSxDtM7shm2S23WrD5WSbGbB9

Finaly i performd all tests and its working like on an normal PC
Speed it very nice , very stabel , low RAM/CPU usage

When DSLK is released i will make an HowTo for it too

This is awesome. I played around with a raspberry pi in high school. I think it's time I buy one to make a SLK staker. 

[Karartma1]

I've just placed an order for a pi! Thanks prometheusx! In a way it's like having a bitcoin miner even though it's completely different, I mean same feeling 

Got to hear about the interview! Good news.

Oh the feels. Nostalgia is strong with this one, the smell of new hardware, and the rush to make it work

Great work Prometheusx
I think that will benefit this community a lot
having a 24/7 wallet staking at low costs
1k sent on your way
Let's just sent a bit of our stakes to his address
He deserve this

[muhcoins]

hey guys, how much connections your wallet generally have? i'm only getting 3~4 connections.... and i already add all the nodes i've found around this thread.

[Johnny00]

Is there a manual about setting up a Stormnode? Can't find it on the website? Are people investing in Silk and darksilk?

[Shovelcoin]

Ok. I think, but not sure that the old silkcoin is still available for withdrawal on Poloniex.(even tho delisted it they allow withdrawal)

My question is

1. should I withdraw to my own old silk wallet then to weaver.

or 2. Withdraw directly to weaver.

Is the swap even still available for me?

Yes you can still swap and you can send it to Weaver straight away. It could be that the amount gets pushed to the screen later today but if the block explorer acknowledges the deposit then we have received it.

I withdrew from polo to my silkcoin wallet adress on the silknetwork 2 days ago but it still doesn't show up
And it's not found on the silkexplorer
the adress i used; B9hpLgPtu7oyYEAX9SLg1RNqtPK1YscGMr

some help please

There cant be an manual because DarkSilk isnt released yet.
The release will be when the ICO is over

And yes, a lot of people are interested in Sild and DarkSilk, you only have to take a look at the ICO page of DSLK or at Bittrex market of SLK

Write a PM or eMail to the Silknetwork Staff , its possible that they need to confirm your coins to be sure that they are not from a backstabbing action at poloniex

[yo-yow]

Which exchange can this coin be traded on?
