SilkCoin under 2500 SAT you will not get, because is very popular coin and everybody discover it,now it s starting the second stage of POW, but don't forget the blocks are 2500 coins and the ASIC for Scrypt are now available and they rent also big Rigs for mining the coin and the difficulty will be 10 times bigger than the first stage of POW. The coin is reasing on MINTPAL top and this is another reason for it s growing and next Monday is possible to be on Mintpal. If Dev will introduce the 2FA in the wallet, the coin will blow off in a good way

And by the way, reading all your messages about the marketplace : current point of view of the dev team is that this is just too risky. Imagine a decentalized maketplace, I would not say it is worse or better than silkroad, but one thing is for sure : it will we targeted and shutdown, look at Coinye and this is only kanye west... It may be reconsidered in the future, but for now we'll release the social network & exchange first and we're currently focused on that.

wow please stop spamming other coins' threads. where's the honor in that?

Silkcoins are generated via two different ways.
1. Mining: this is when your computer or machine generate "Proof of Work" (POW) blocks similar to Bitcoin.
2. Staking: this is when the coins in your wallet generate "Proof of Stake" (POS) blocks.

Let me explain "Proof Of Stake" in more detail:

Your coins have what we call coin-age.
They start gaining age if they stay in your wallet for 12 hours. Your stake weight is the accumulated age of the coins you have.
Before those 12 hours, coins don't get age so you won't be able to hit a Stake Block.
Your coins always gain coin-age even if your wallet is closed, but to hit a Stake Block you need to have your wallet open.
To see how much time is needed to hit a Stake Block just hover your cursor over the lightning icon in the wallet: it will tell you the expected time.
But beware, like POW blocks, the chance of hitting a POS block is a bit random so expected time may be lower or higher.

This is when your coin-age is important. The more accumulated coin-age you have, the higher the chance of hitting a Stake Block.
Once you hit this block and gain interest, coins that have been used have their coin-age reset: they are moved to "stake" and blocked (you can't use them) for 350 blocks.

Interest is fixed at 2% per year, but since coins start gaining age 12 hours after creation, with compound interest this percentage turns out to be much higher.

Some options available to handle day to day staking:

In settings->options you can set Reserve balance (it's the amount you don't want to stake)
In settings->options->display you can tick coin control, so you can control which coin you send (don't send old coins)
If you encrypted your wallet, you can unlock it in settings. There is an option to unlock only for the purpose of staking.

Lets see, current rate is 2000 satoshi each. 10x would be 20k satoshi each or 0.0002 each. That would put it in a marketcap of 3.5 million. It would rank 17th, just behind quark, vertcoin and XC. This doesn't seem unreasonable. But lets be conservative and say 5x, that would put us at $1.75 million. That would put us at 24th place, just behind Maxcoin, Megacoin and InfiniteCoin. I see Silkcoin to be more innovtive than these coins and a 5x increase seems very resonable. A 10x increase would completely depend on the eco-system and its real world utility which is still a complete unknown.

I am optimistic ofcourse that if the dev's follow through with their roadmap then we are going up in terms of bitcoin by multiples, the amount of multiples is anyones guess.

Now, we would go straight to the top 10 if the devs implement the marketplace which allows the free selling of anything. This alone would create a lot of buzz and media attention. People using blackmarkets in TOR would flock to the silkcoin marketplace. Actually I would love if their would be a community driven voting system where certain types of goods could be voted to be taken off the market. In other words the community decides what is allowed or not allowed to be sold on the marketplace. This would remove the developers responsibility to flag certain goods and put it into the communities hands.

Also think of the implications of just selling everyday goods on the marketplace instead of ebay, no more 10% fees per item and little to no more listing restrictions. A marketplace owned by all of us.

The OpenBazzar project (AKA darkmarket) has seen a lot of media attention and buzz already just imagine if the eco-system beats them too it, silkcoin would become a household name.

So when you say 10x is highly unlikely it should be rephrased to a "complete unknown", as you are just judging from your previous trade experiences. The reality is the market does not know or has decided what the value of silkcoin will be with these never before seen innovations.
