Rebranded to Duality Blockchain Solutions

[CryptoJohn]

We will not take months like people in the thread are saying, testing is starting with a new version with a lot of fixes today and more fixes are being carried out.

In term of catching up with Dash' work/commits, we are up to July/Sept 2016 of their work,

83 commits to DarkSilk in two days and still working on it, not long now people.

The 83 commits caught up from Aug/Sept 2015 - July/Sept 2016 or in other words we caught up one year in two days.

We are working fast and aim to deliver DarkSilk ASAP.

Keep at it Spencer, much thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Everyone involved in the Silk Network has been busting their butts to get DSLK released.  There is so much work going on behind the scenes.

Hats off to the crew!  As a community we need to hang tight.  The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer!

In the meanwhile SLK's dropping: this could be either the last chance to get cheap coins before the storm or the first sign of a slow and painful death.
The crypto world is getting tough there are many interesting projects around and Duality will need a lot of effort for being recognized.

Once the rebrand is complete, this will be on a whole new level.  I would call it an opportunity at current rates.  If it makes you feel better, I recently put my money where my mouth is...

good move imho. I'm sitting on a nice bag but would like to throw a couple more BTC's at silk myself.

About SLK wallet and difficulty
0.01668664599815857 this is the current difficulty: as far as I remember it has always been the same. Can you explain how the SLK difficulty mechanism works?

This is the Proof-of-Work difficulty, not the Proof-of-Stake difficulty. There are no other PoS coins that use up-to-date Bitcoin source code as their code base. Most are clones of Blackcoin which is based off of ancient code (Bitcoin version 7-8). Emercoin was the first to make progress in this arena with their use of code from Bitcoin v0.10 and some of it close to v0.11, but much of Emercoin's code is incomplete, and/or does not function correctly. Emercoin hit the jackpot and went corporate and their codebase is pretty stale now, but they provided a great base for us to work on improvements. Silk's codebase is almost entirely up to date with Bitcoin v0.12 code. We have taken this even further and we have fixed the PoS functionality that separated the inner workings of the code and our ability to actually see it. In the next release we will not only have fixed the issues with the staking icon and getstakinginfo, but we will have more advanced statistical analysis tools with both graphical and csv formats (as well as RPC commands. Thank you to presstab for providing much of the inspiration and initial code for PoS blockchain analysis.

But, to answer your question, I have replaced the PoW difficulty calculation with the PoS difficulty.

To get a preview of the more advanced analysis tools take a look here: https://github.com/SilkNetwork/Silk-Core/pull/89. We have also added the ability to calculate your staking profits with a simple dropdown window on the Transactions tab. User defined reports and graphs are in the works now for custom blockchain analysis and presentation tools right in your wallet. Lots of improvements on the way or already here! I want Silk to be the most advanced and analytical PoS wallet, but also the most intuitive and user friendly. This next release will be a very big step in that direction.

Pics or it didn't happen

This is actually more than enough for my question. Thanks a lot quantumgravity.
I'm really looking forward to those improvements.
I've always thought SLK a really good asset to have

P.s. I don't know if this is connected but after your reply SLK value went up to its recent high.

Want to help?

We are starting a round of testing and need as many individual test Stormnodes setting up as possible.

Final wallet testing has opened to the public. Join the above skype conversation to test DarkSilk!

How many people are actually testing your Stormnodes? I would like to help but I do not have proper hardware to fulfill the task otherwise I would have helped.

There are 35 people in the Skype group.  Not sure how many are testing nodes right now, but people are looking for bugs as well.

That number includes the devs.  The community is definitely helping out.

Yes as you mentioned one thing is to be included in the Skype conversation another is to test the stormnodes: the latter is what I care about. I'm sure info will come.

A nice backup/alternative block explorer for Silk(SLK).

SILK already existed and it's price will increase once the renamed weaver platform is launched with the renamed drksilk.

thanks,

I have got 5000 out of my about 70000 SILK in the silk network online wallet. This happened a few days after the transfer, problem is i see there is no option to exchange them for SLK.

[Karartma1]

News about stormnodes testing? Any update? Any good news?  

By the way, I had a blue screen of death while using slk wallet (amid other applications of course) yesterday. I clearly don't think it was a silk wallet problem but probably there has been a surge in memory usage which made my computer to crash.
It's a low-range laptop with only 4GB RAM so that does not surprise me.

[rapazev]

i dont know if something changed in silk (difficulty maybe?), but last weeks were awful to me...   way less rewards than i generally get.
i've done the inputs again, maybe that was the problem.
