Hi people,
I am quite new here, but still having something to contribute:
I just managed to compile silk-core from scratch (on arch linux), after having some troubles (?due to a too recent c++ version?).
In any case, I managed to modify the 'src/chainparams.cpp ' similar to this fix:
https://github.com/ShapeShifter499/clams/commit/833dbdabb9fdc6befc608e9ee49a7327d48e5ff0and it compiled.
Now I have the client running, and after properly adding the nodes to my silk.conf it seems to be running.
However, I have no SLK and do not even know how to get some before bittrex starts listing them, of someone has some change so I can play around, my receiving address is:

In any case, following this closely

Cheers,
B
@beralt, Thank you for the input. We will try to convert our base58 prefixes to use a std::vector instead of list_of(). If you have time, please add it to our issues list:
