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

[SLievensDRKSLK]

OK I am awake again.

Today I will be adding Proof-of-Service to DarkSilk.

I would like to ask people to basically clear their chains, delete their current test wallets and all data relating to it.

I will be rebuilding Windows, Mac and Linux wallets soon, then we can continue testing with the changes I have been implementing this last week or so.

Does anyone have any feedback about the wallet so far?

[nzminer]

I still cant sync my wallet, im on v1.1.1.1-g32a928eBETA

any other ideas?

any other ideas?

I performed a fresh install with this version a few days ago, after leaving the wallet open for a relatively short period of time it found peers and starting syncing on its own. 

But the block chain is still downloading... 80.99% completed 48+ hrs later.

OK so the good news is that I have brought DarkSilk up to date in terms of its codebase.

Currently we are in line with Dash 0.11.2.20

I am now rebuilding the wallet for Windows and Mac and will update the links shortly with the new builds.

This will be a fresh chain so please everyone delete all DarkSilk related data including the old release candidate.

I will update on this thread the second the wallets are available.

Here is a comparison between Crave and DarkSilk - https://github.com/SCDeveloper/Crave-Darksilk-Comparison/commit/3ef7d46094e988af58e7344cb47f75e7507e8354

(Just in case anyone wants to say I just forked Crave )

You appear to be using an older wallet version. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

[SLievensDRKSLK]

This is the version I was informed to use a while ago by Palm - https://github.com/silkcointemple/silkcoin/releases/tag/v1.1.0.21

Clear your entire chain, download the above version.

Then put this file in your hidden data directory - https://github.com/SCDeveloper/Silkcoin-Blockchain-Bootstrap/archive/master.zip

The file above is a split archive and can be put back together using WinRAR or 7zip or Unzip (Linux) into its original bootstrap.dat form.

Once that's in place, start the wallet. It will import blocks from the bootstrap.dat and then you can sync the rest from the network.

OK, ill give that a go, i hope im still on the right chain, as i fear i might loose all my balance.

I am sure you'll be fine. This is the same chain as Cryptsy.

This is the latest build. This is potentially the final release candidate prior to launch.

We need to test this thoroughly i.e. Stormnodes, Sandstorm, InstantX and all the other features

Windows 7/8/8.1/10

Source
https://github.com/SCDeveloper/DarkSilk-Release-Candidate/archive/master.zip

Our default port for Stormnodes is 31000. Not 9999 like previously.

Example Conf:

rpcuser=CHANGETOSOMETHING
rpcpassword=CHANGETOSOMETHING
rpcport=31500
rpcallowip=*
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
testnet=0
stormnode=0
addnode=45.63.13.128

Remove stormnode=0 from conf file if client is Stormnode

WE REQUIRE 15 STORMNODES TO MEET THE MINIMUM SIGNATURES REQUIRED FOR INSTANTX TO FUNCTION.

PLEASE ONLY CPU MINE TO KEEP DIFF LOW AND GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE AT HITTING BLOCKS.

420 BLOCKS FOR MATURITY AND 4 HOUR MINIMUM STAKE TIME.

4 MINUTES POW BLOCKS AND 64 SECOND POS BLOCKS.

That's right people, seperate timing for PoW and PoS blocks

[arteleis]

was able to update the gif on android in ann.. but not the links for new test client.  lol this this phone too fuckin small..
ill see if i can get tonite in ann and confirm else will be tomorrow.

Havnt done it yet, its still downloading.
But at least the funds have shown in poloniex, so it should be all good i guess?

[AltcoinScamfinder]

Ok, giving this one a whirl. Seems at least to have some innovation and a plan.
