I am stuck at ...701 for a long time now. I have received all the coins sent, but since the chain isn't moving they are not confirmed (zero confirmations).....therefore I cannot stake them yet. We will get there, it is just a matter of time now.

Also yes, the silknetwork team will honor all old silkcoin exchanges to SLK via the weaver. They have mentioned this numerous times so don't worry you will be able to swap them out once we get the old chain moving along a good pace again. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Good job all!
