I think I may have broken my daemon to the point that I may need to reboot the vm after I shutdown the daemon, so it may appear to be offline for a bit, hopefully not more than 15 minutes.  What happened is this;

I went back to the original ann for Silkcoin to get the specs;

Specifications
Block time: 1 minute
Maximum POW supply: ~45 million
Difficulty retarget: every block
Stake interest: 2% annually
Min transaction fee: 0.0001 SC
Fees are paid to miners
Confirmations: 10, maturity: 350
Minimum stake age: 12 hours - No max age
P2P port: 16666, RPC port: 16667

I should have looked at the original thread when we first started this.
Because a transaction takes 10 confirmations and then 350 confirmations before mature for staking

Based on that, I created 25 addresses in the daemon wallet and started sending 2 Silkcoins to each address
The first round of 25 worked pretty well, but I got carried away and ran it 2, 3, or 4 more times so I have 75 to 125 transactions processing through the daemon.
Needless to say after finally going to bed and now waking up, the vm is and has been at 100% CPU, more than likely all night long since around 3am

I just stopped the daemon and am waiting for the process to end, then I'll reboot.
I'll post when it's back online
