Am I understanding it correctly. There'll be 45m pre-mined for swapping and then a further 45m as PoW rewards?

No.

In the code currently it is set to a 45,000,000 DRKSLK instamine on block 1. This is set currently to a 1:1 ratio (roughly) with the current Silkcoin supply in circulation (subject to change).

There will be 420,000 where mining PoW blocks is possible as the code states (again subject to change). However PoS happens after you have 42 confirmations so not every one of those 420,000 blocks will be mined as PoW but as PoS.

If every block of the 420,000 was mined at 42 coins per block then the total coins mined would be 17,640,000 DRKSLK.

So to calculate an exact total mined is not really possible as it is down to people staking on the network and also the amount of miners on the network.

I'm not sure how I feel about a second PoW round for SILK, what's the motivation behind it? I don't hold a massive amount, but enough to wish I'd been a part of any discussion about measures that'd lead to the dilution of holders' shares. I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions on it. Is this being discussed somewhere else?

  In case there is a misunderstanding... There will be two coins developed together.. So darksilk will be mined.  Silk will not be for now.. Or possibly if we were to raise the supply.. But also possible that a good chunk of silk will be burned darksilk.. The weaver is not finalised.. So there's also the clams style option, block chain scanner option, standard swap option (,if it was one coin.. But its two) or my preference a burn style option.  What the original premine is intended for.  Any silk user can burn their silk dark.

Ok. I didn't realize they were separate projects and that silk will be continuing, I'll wait for more details. Thanks for clarifying. Also I enjoy your poetry.

 And iI guess motivation is to have the most fairly launched coin family while rising up from sheer destruction and suffering.  Folks staking and holding the silk they have have mostly paid dearly for it.. Lol we clutch our silk like our wee babes.. It's and affliction an addiction and one i vowed to never quit until it succeeded.  This is the whispers of that beginning.

  Welcome to the thread man.. I'm either swearing, hleping folks or writing poetry. .. Ha-ha point is is that this coin is a story, an enigma, a catalyst for global recognition to surpass the previous bullshit shitty code that was the initial burst.  It was revived by the community as a whole and now growing like a tree with potential branches into all things honorable.as a currency should be..
 
  420 peace and welcome. (-;

And yes, they have toes, camel toes. Multiples.

You can submit pull requests via GitHub or suggest code changes/additions here if you wish to.

I really would like to hear people's comments and ideas.

 Right. Camel toes.  Mods actually deleted a bunch of camel toes from here.. Wonder why

getting excited now, cant wait to test the new wallet!

So how are people?

Any thoughts on the code as this is the time to talk and converse about it so that any changes you want, actually happen.

Bonjour and welcome SCDev, so can you explain whats going on with silk/darksilk/weaver?

I dont code so i have no opinion on whats on github, but i would like to know what the concepts are and how you see silk/darksilks future.

ps ive been here since the original dev fucked everyone over so its pretty cool to see silk rising from the ashes <3

First of all, thank you SCDeveloper for the work you've done. There are many people like me who have been here from the beginning and will be here until the end (large bags weigh us down). It will take time to round up troops again. We have been quietly and patiently waiting. Now that things are in motion we should become more active, but it will take time for everybody to know that we are alive again. Just keep moving forward and people will follow.

I wish I could read code but I can't. Hopefully some skilled community members will chime in. This is about all that I understand from the github:

What is DarkSilk?

Scrypt PoW/PoS PoS Interest - 5% Annually 420,000 Blocks for PoW Phase 1 Minute Target Spacing Difficulty Retargets Every Block 42 Coins Per Block 42 Blocks for DarkSilk to be Minted/Mature 90,000,000 Total Coins

50MB Maximum Block Size (50X Bitcoin Core)

DarkSilk includes an Address Index feature, based on the address index API (searchrawtransactions RPC command) implemented in Bitcoin Core but modified implementation to work with the DarkSilk codebase (PoS coins maintain a txindex by default for instance). Initialize the Address Index by running the -reindexaddr command line argument, it may take 10-15 minutes to build the initial index.

DarkSilk only broadcasts transactions once unlike Bitcoin Core which rebroadcasts transactions which can be used to unmask and link IP addresses and transactions. However if your transaction does not successfully broadcast you can use the -resendtx console command to broadcast the transaction again.

DarkSilk implements Gavin Andresens signature cache optimisation from Bitcoin for significantly faster transaction validation.

Sandstorm Network Information Ported Masternodes from Darkcoin and rebranded as Stormnodes and modified to use stealth addresses. Darksend ported and rebranded as Sandstorm. Utilisation of InstantX for instant transaction confirmation. Multiple Stormnodes can be ran from the same IP address.

[yell4george]

OK I am happy with the DarkSilk code and about to generate the genesis etc.

However now it is logo decision time.

I threw a mock up together in a few minutes as an idea:



Time for the community to come up with something.

Since you will be seeing the logo a lot, I reckon it's a good thing for the community to get involved with.

I will donate 4,242 SILK to the next 5 people who submit an original logo

[yell4george]

I think the SILK to DRKSLK burn ratio should be equal to the percentage increase in drkslk over silk. In other words, if the total supply of drkslk is going to be 42% more then silk, then the burn ratio should be 1:1.42
