[ANN][SILKCOIN][DARKSILK PREANN][TESTING STORMNODES/DarkSIlk MARKET/I2P]

[Orestes]

Ok guys, I'm not good in terms of dev speaking but I kind of see what are we talking about here.

The project looks really good but still we need to find a new thing, let's call it a killer app that will distinguish us from the rest.

Even though, the weaver might be it...

In my eyes the weaver will be it. It will make something possible that has never been done before in crypto, not even BTC; store value 
Next to that it is up to the community to find ways to spend/use a coin of value.

Masternodes perform incentivized services on a 2nd network layer, they mix coins, vote on proposals, run multisig and run services like exchanges/instant transactions.  That is of course if theyre being used for function and not perceptual price propping.  Weaver and the slush fund can probably be effectively handled by masternodes(although i still have little to no idea what weaver actually is).

And this system you're talking about above sounds more akin to the way shadowtokens work;  shadowcash is the main layer, shadowtokens are exponentially created by swapping shadowcash for shadowtokens.  They can be swapped back at any time, but i dont think shadowtokens are destroyed ever, havent checked out the project in a few months.

Thats the way i understand it anyway, i may have gotten things slanted.  And i agree that full staking should be default.

Thats cool, then they are on the right track. The most important thing is the inductor, or slush fund. Without it price will still go perpetually downwards, with the exception of hyped pumps.

Next to that is the weaver, from what I know of it, it will give Silk the competitive advantage.

Gitian Descriptors nearly done - https://github.com/SCDeveloper/DarkSilk-Release-Candidate/commit/12c4bd735923d3bf123b38ed1616fb78d6795b5f

Just OSX to go and then build instructions to be added to the main readme and a readme added to the contrib folder.

Yes it will be the first binary coin system.
And we should try and get a coin telegraph article written after we launch!

That would be most impressive.

DeepDotWeb are already going to print an article.

I can contact Coin Telegraph (I have a link).

DarkSilk is still in the works but the code is in release candidate form.

http://github.com/scdeveloper/darksilk-release-candidate

Until EVERYTHING can be done with the code that can be done is done we will then and only then start the pre-launch ANN thread.

Spread the word, DarkSilk cometh.....

Great job!  It is difficult keeping up with you.  Can't wait until DarkSilk is released.
