Don't forget, the total circulation of DRKSLK will be very small in comparison with actual total supply.  Same goes for SLK... The total supplies will take generations and generations to hit!  Aka, you'll be long dead before the supply even hits 1/4 of maximum...

All you have to do is read a little bit to find the answers.

Everything is in final development and details are subject to change based on community input, etc

THANK you for the previous information.  BUT this still remains not clear.  The swap is infinite.  But also they said the swap is for 30 days.  There is no talking about poloniex here. Only talking about the weaver.  So is this infinite swap or 30 day swap and will current holders be informed when this takes place?
  Is there not a website to explain this informations? I do like reading but there is conflict of the definition here.

 I am not concerned with the Dark silkcoin.  Only the silkcoin i have purchased on poloniex.  How am i to ensure my fund validity? When will poloniex make this announcement that the coins they are selling must be moved to another exchange in order to use them?

If you buy Silkcoin now, you will be able to swap to Silk.

Once the swap begins the Silkcoin market on Poloniex will be closed and only Silkcoin generated before the start of the swap will be eligible to be swapped.

The Silk market will launch when Silk is released and the swap begins.

The reason for the confusion with the length of the swap period is simply because we do not want the swap to last forever, we would ideally like to see everyone swapped over in a timely fashion to then leave the old blockchain and technology behind us.

I originally stated 30 days as I thought if there was some pressure to get swapped then it would be handled and completed faster.

People need to bear in mind that once Silk launches, the incentive to run a Silkcoin node to process transactions for the swap process is gone, leaving only the developers at Silk Network to ensure nodes are running for the swap to function.

But we will be remembered as the Founding Fathers of the Silk Network

I'm pretty sure they won't use current currencies by then
maybe on Earth but the rest of the galaxy will use the Silk Network for sure

[ttoroie]

It's only in our imagination right now


but with patience and care will get to that



and maybe to that

last one I guess is for our great great ....nephews

New Silkcoin folder updated for quick sync  including nodes
For Newcomers
download and install the silkcoin wallet first
start the wallet for a minute or so then exit
Get the updated files: Download the silkcoin.zip file, it's around 950megs..
Files here On Google Drive

 
Then use the search feature for windows, and search for %APPDATA%
Once you're there click "Roaming" then goto the Silkcoin dir.
This is the folder where silkcoin wallet keeps the data

Then extract everything over, everything from silkcoin.zip file, into the silkcoin folder you found in the %APPDATA% search. Overwrite all.

Don't delete or play with your wallet.dat file.

PS: You only need to do this in case of trouble, loss of data, no sync wallet, or new to the silkcoin

Good Syncing and Welcome to the Camel World

How will the 'crowdsale' work, and when will it occur?

Will it all happen via weaver?

Will DRKSLK be priced arbitrarily(for crowdsale) or will it depend on SLKs market price at the time(or something else)?

Will SLK holders still get a better rate(initially) over BTC buys?  If so how will that work, as a timed thing or a volume thing or a weaver account id/wallet address thing?

There will be a lot going for SLK don't be worried. Rather use DRKSLK to swap to SLK if anything else

Someone else can answer this question as I am starting to feel (and probably look) like a record that keeps playing almost to the end of the track and hits a scratch and jumps all the way back to the beginning again.

[Delita Heiral]

Actually to myself and many other holders it seems that youre glossing over these specific details, unless the answer is simply, "we'll talk about it later"

ps there are many questions, not one.

[SLievensDRKSLK]

How will the 'crowdsale' work, and when will it occur?

The details for the crowdsale will be released closer to the time. When it occurs, as stated before, a number of times, when Silk launches.

Will it all happen via weaver?

Yes, as stated before.

Will DRKSLK be priced arbitrarily(for crowdsale) or will it depend on SLKs market price at the time(or something else)?

Details will be in the crowdsale documentation once released.

Will SLK holders still get a better rate(initially) over BTC buys?  If so how will that work, as a timed thing or a volume thing or a weaver account id/wallet address thing?

Details will be in the crowdsale documentation once released.

You get a lot of repeating questions because you have 2 coins and one thread. The first page should be corrected to show both coins spec or you should have two seperated threads. All the questions about Darksilk shows a lot of interest for it so you have to live with it. I think closer to the release there are going to be even much more questions and interest about it. I will keep comming in here and have a look.


I cant find any reasons to buy Silk coin. If you are a holder of the old silk coin then its good news to get a working chain. If I can get dark silk with BTC then I dont need to have any silkcoin. If you can buy Dark silk with Silk coin then I think silk coin can drop much in value so it will not be a good investment before the release of dark silk coin. If you have any plans that will give silk coin a high value then I cant see it with the information you have provided to us for now.


Both coins have good known devs and that is something that gives also values.

Yeah thats the question, why would anyone invest into Silkcoin atm? If we dont know if its any benefit at all to keep/buy them. I understood that the dev didnt want to spoil because other people could copy but if you are not that far from release it wouldnt make a difference to tell what it is since people will know what it is eventually anyway and then try to copy.

You need to think outside the box... DRKSLK will be a very limited circulation compared to SLK and most likely fetch a much higher price.  Not everyone is going to want to pay a premium when SLK will be available at a most likely lower price.  Consider the analogy of gold and silver.  Not everyone can afford gold so they buy silver.  Yes it has a lower price but that doesn't make it "useless".  On top of that you will have more liquidity and also be able to swap in and out of both down the road if you want to...

You need to look at a much broader picture and think of thousands of users using the network eventually, not just a handful...  The users that catch on later in the process might not be able to afford to buy DRKSLK, so what would they turn to?  SLK...  All I am trying to point out is 2 coins makes this system perfect and gives people options...  I don't know about you, but I like it when there are options.  It will also keep the currencies in a good ratio...  Think a forex exchange as well.  Of course both currencies will fluctuate, but then you also can exchange the 2 and make a profit from that fluctuation.

When you look at actual circulation of both coins together, it really is not a lot in play here.  Prices of both coins will go to nice levels as demand catches on.  You might be surprised where SLK ends up going...  DRKSLK of course will be a no brainer..,

Everything sounds nice and so on and Im ready to invest but I want to know what it would benefit me doing so. And people not being to afford DRKSLK, then why would they be able to afford SLK? I dont see how thats going to make people buy SLK just because DRKSLK will cost more. People will take the money they got and buy less coins of DRKSLK instead of SLK if SLK doesn't have a good use/benefit to it.

Just use the analogies of gold and silver, Bitcoin and litecoin... People still use litecoin right?  Ask yourself why?  Same reasons people will use DRKSLK and SLK...  Difference is, both DRKSLK and SLK are tied into a market... Bitcoin and litecoin aren't even attached to anything, yet people still use litecoin... Why??  Same reasons people use gold and silver.  It's all relative but in this case a market ties them together.  I'm sure the dev has other plans tied into SLK as well.  But still you can potentially use SLK in many ways, using it to trade, using it for the market, using it to hedge against DRKSLK if you hold a position... Some of the many ways it could be used.  Again think outside the box.

What you are saying dont make sense. BTC have a high value but ppl still buy it. You have x.xxxxxxxx numbers to work with so high value will not be a problem. My question still valid. Why silk coin when you can get a much more developed coin like dark silk?

I think the differientiating between btc and ltc is a step in the right direction. Come to think of it the blockchain size of btc might not ever be changed and im in favor for this decision. The multitude of transactions will go to coins like litecoin while the large transactions go to btc, BTC just isnt something the consumer should use. Given a predicted price increase of btc the transaction do not need to go up, only the fiat equivalent analogue to gold and silver. Again btc is not suitable for consumer use, its an investment asset hijacked by a low income populous.

How does this play into DRKSLK/SLK i have no clue  

[Vagnavs]

Perhaps you guys can create an infographic. To try and explain why there's two coins.. For the sake of simplicity

[Jocuserious]

I think silk is Gold. DARKSILKcoins dont even exist.  A lot of blinding trust here  I ask poloniex when the swap
They don't know what I'm talking /-:

Polobox mods wouldn't have any way of knowing.  Just so you know...

You need to look at a much broader picture and think of thousands of users using the network eventually, not just a handful...  The users that catch on later in the process might not be able to afford to buy DRKSLK, so what would they turn to?  SLK...  All I am trying to point out is 2 coins makes this system perfect and gives people options...  I don't know about you, but I like it when there are options.  It will also keep the currencies in a good ratio...  Think a forex exchange as well.  Of course both currencies will fluctuate, but then you also can exchange the 2 and make a profit from that fluctuation.

When you look at actual circulation of both coins together, it really is not a lot in play here.  Prices of both coins will go to nice levels as demand catches on.  You might be surprised where SLK ends up going...  DRKSLK of course will be a no brainer..,

What you are saying dont make sense. BTC have a high value but ppl still buy it. You have x.xxxxxxxx numbers to work with so high value will not be a problem. My question still valid. Why silk coin when you can get a much more developed coin like dark silk?

So I'll answer your question with a question.  Then why do people buy alt coins other than BTC?  It doesn't make sense why they would when you can just buy BTC.

And there are coins with less features than BTC and people still buy them, so a "feature" reason, still can't refute the question.
