Thanks very much for your help. I found my .conf file but I have no idea how to change it? when I click it, it comes up with windows cant read this file. I also dont know how to create a text file. Any help would be appreciated.
Updated the Silkcoin folder up to block 1758147 for easy sync
Also added separately silkcoin.conf download just that if you're synced and put it in your Silkcoin folder it contains staking=0 line as well cause it's no point in staking the old coin anyway
