Network seems fine, multiple transactions confirmed sent and recieved to escrow, wallet staking - the bug may not be real.  Some have rolled back to wallet version 1.0.9 and have had no problems since. 

I also never noticed a bug in the confirmation process. I think it is bullshit made by original dev.

How is the wallet fix progressing? Perhaps a confirmation that no bug exists at all is all that is needed for exchanges to re-enable it?

Yes, that would be the best news

Some good news. Looks like Bittrex has re-enabled deposits and withdrawals for SC 
It's great that we can get the coins flowing again.
Can't wait for bholzer's client update though 
Happy trading!!

I sold my coins at a loss just so I could get them off Bittrex literally yesterday haha... Oh well. Good luck everyone.

I don't find any bug. Tested all last night. Has anyone been able to reproduce it? Never had any problems with the wallet. I am out.

Hey Guys,

This is great stuff to see, Bittrex enabled Silkcoin. I don't know; but I never had problems with my SC wallet SYNC and I do mine SC everyday for 12 hours and been earning good amount.

SC will push volume and price accelerator hard once "bholzar" comes back with flying colors.

Patience man, bholzer is our only hope without him or another temporary dev we are dead. We have nothing to loose so let him work at his own pace.

  I dont think it would be in any interest of bholzer to post such lengthy heartfelt promises to the community and then just vanish completely.
    For now the rolled back client works fine, coins stake correctly, 0 confirm bug turned out to be just another layer of bs involving the scam we just experienced, development fund is growing everyday, there is a full development support team ready for action, bittrex just unfroze withdrawls and im sure polo and mintpal will be following suit.. things are looking good. 
  If bholzer decides he is not doing what he said he would, then im sure a post will come soon, otherwise the assumption should be made that he is still working on the client.
     At this point the poll shows overwhingly that silkcoin should keep its original name and move forward as planned with a possible simple ticker change.
   All is well and progress is being made.

 Relax and buy silk while it is still cheap.

I just started looking at the wallet code since there is talk of the 0 confirmations not being an actual bug...and here is what I found.

TransactionRecord::updateStatus(const CWalletTx &wtx) is used to determine a transaction's status (../src/qt/transactionrecord.cpp line 156) by looking for the block the transaction belongs to.  Next it determines maturity by calling CMerkleTx::GetBlocksToMaturity() (../src/main.cpp line 811), which in turn determines if the coins are already in your wallet (base or being staked) and as long as they are not, the next call to CMerkleTx::GetDepthInMainChain(CBlockIndex* &pindexRet) (../src/main.cpp line 802) determines chain depth.  First it calls CMerkleTx::GetDepthInMainChainINTERNAL(CBlockIndex* &pindexRet) (../src/main.cpp line 777) to check the block we think the transaction is in and then we make sure the merkle branch connects to this block, and if it does not it returns '0', which results in a chain depth of '-1' which causes the updateStatus method to flag the transaction as 'Conflicted' (if (status.depth < 0) { status.status = TransactionStatus::Conflicted; }). 

I'll check some other coins to compare methods, but at first glance this does not seem to be a real issue.  Again, I just started looking at this a little while ago and maybe bholzer has some more insight to share since he is more familiar with the code base than I am.
