The only thing I want to know is how you did not know a month ago (at the beginning of ICO) that something which takes 6 months to code was not going to be ready in a month.

Focus was shifted from having a fully implemented Argon2d GPU miner to a workable GPU solution that is fair to all parties. It was a simple error in judgement, when you are very close to your goals you want to go for it. During coding it became apparent that certain elemenst regarding fast verify were missing. As MCDev pointed out, to prevent a too narrowed vision some triggers should've been implemented to initiate alternative scenario's. What has happened will be discussed once we are in a more calmer stage of development.

Right now we are testing as mentioned earlier. So far so good. I guess there will be an update after a good night's rest.

I also can confirm that tests are currently running
And what i have seen is very nice

Argon2d CPU mining has begun on the test network.

dDNS has an issue to rectify and Stormnode payments need a change and test.

The development team are working around the clock and are ensuring the software works and that peoples investments are protected.

The same as Silk(SLK) and its launch, DarkSilk will have 10000 blocks at the beginning of the chain that give no block reward (0DSLK).

This gives Silk Network the time to setup dnsseeders, full nodes, add checkpoints, forward the code to bittrex and have a secured network.

At the point the above is done, the codebase will be released publicly.

nice!
Any exchange to list it after launch? Roll Eyes i will make my node, but i need to pay my bills too  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Exchange will be at Bittrex

I also notified the team to notify the community of all the issues and information to post, but yet it hasn't happened (~12 hours ago).

Myself and the developers have hit upon issues which all should be conveyed by an official post which has not happened.

Apologies for the ineptness of the teams ability to communicate, this looks completely unprofessional.

Is this a joke ?
I asked you yesterday at slack and also got no answer!

And dont say its an failure of the team ,  or are you not an member of the team ?

If you want to sync from scratch by yourself then u can have an bootstrap file to speed it up

http://download.coin-info.net/bootstrap.dat

or a zip of the full Windows AppData folder

Hello !

i have a little erorr or bug

getinfo from console

"errors" : "EXCEPTION: St9bad_alloc \nstd::bad_alloc \nC:\\wallets\\Sling\\sling-qt-v2-0-0-1-win32.exe in ProcessMessages() \n"

What this ? and my wallet at 492671 block ^ yobit wallet status: Online (496007 blocks)

wtf ?

St9bad_alloc is an local chain error
There are only 2 ways to get it back working
1. delete everything in your %AppData%\Sling folder, and only keep your wallet.dat / peers.dat / sling.conf
   and perform a full sync from scratch

2. and much easyer way to test for an broken chain is, rename your wallet.dat to anything else , like wallet-test.dat
   start your client and if the error is still there then u can close the client / error and make a backup of your wallet-test.dat, rename it back to wallet.dat and start with #1

Ok. I think, but not sure that the old silkcoin is still available for withdrawal on Poloniex.(even tho delisted it they allow withdrawal)

My question is

1. should I withdraw to my own old silk wallet then to weaver.

or 2. Withdraw directly to weaver.

Is the swap even still available for me?

Yes you can still swap and you can send it to Weaver straight away. It could be that the amount gets pushed to the screen later today but if the block explorer acknowledges the deposit then we have received it.


I withdrew from polo to my silkcoin wallet adress on the silknetwork 2 days ago but it still doesn't show up
And it's not found on the silkexplorer
the adress i used; B9hpLgPtu7oyYEAX9SLg1RNqtPK1YscGMr

some help please


Write a PM or eMail to the Silknetwork Staff , its possible that they need to confirm your coins to be sure that they are not from a backstabbing action at poloniex

Is there a manual about setting up a Stormnode? Can't find it on the website? Are people investing in Silk and darksilk?

There cant be an manual because DarkSilk isnt released yet.
The release will be when the ICO is over

And yes, a lot of people are interested in Sild and DarkSilk, you only have to take a look at the ICO page of DSLK or at Bittrex market of SLK

HowTo

Preparations

- For fresh Raspbian Installations
(I'm using here the newest minimal Image)

.. Flash it on your SD Card
.. Start your Raspberry Pi
.. run
Code:
sudo raspi-config
and configure all what u need
.. restart your Raspberry Pi

.. Update your installation list
Code:
sudo apt-get update

.. Update your Raspbian
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade


- ROOT user

If you never used root on your raspberry pi

Code:
sudo passwd root
(enter the wanted password for root user)

Code:
su root
(enter the password for root user)

- BerkeleyDB
(MUST be done as root, SUDO dont work)

Code:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install git
apt-get install libssl-dev
apt-get install autoconf
apt-get install libtool
apt-get install libboost-all-dev
apt-get install libdb5.3-dev
apt-get install libdb5.3++-dev
(If you get any errors, feel free to contact me)

Code:
mkdir /Berkeley
cd /Berkeley
(I'm building in that folder the needed BerkeleyDB, should not be changed)

Code:
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic
make && make install
(Downloading , extracting, configure and compiling of the BerkeleyDB 4.Cool

Code:
exit
or
Code:
su your-SLK-user

- SLK download and compiling

Code:
cd ~
(or jump to the folder where u want the SLK source , SLK folder is created from git)

Code:
git clone https://github.com/SilkNetwork/Silk-Core SLK
cd SLK
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-tests LDFLAGS="-L/Berkeley/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix" CPPFLAGS="-I/Berkeley/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix"
make
(now the SLK client is almost ready)

Code:
cd src
cp silkd ~
cp silk-cli ~
cp silk-tx ~
cd ~
strip silkd
strip silk-cli
strip silk-tx
(Replace the ~ with the folder where u want your SLK client)

- Starting SLK Client

Code:
./slikd --daemon
(Currently u get an error of RPC User/Pass)

Before u start it again , edit the silk.conf file in the .silk folder
listen=1 ---> listen=0
(Possibly it will be fixed in upcoming releases)

- Stop the Daemon
Code:
./silk-cli stop

If this HowTo is helpfull then it would be nice if u help me with some SLK
SYZU8arw9LSxDtM7shm2S23WrD5WSbGbB9

Finaly i performd all tests and its working like on an normal PC
Speed it very nice , very stabel , low RAM/CPU usage

When DSLK is released i will make an HowTo for it too

did anyone already instaled the silk wallet in windows server 2008? and another doubt is the size of the wallet after the sync... is it really 20GB?

It's running on every Windows since XP
And the size of the current datafolder is 33MB

you mean 33GB right?   Shocked Shocked
im talking about the wallet after full sync and at the start of the instalation it says 20GB, i'll put it in a VPS so i need to know how much storage i will need.

Just a question , do u think that a 33GB data folder would fit on an 8GB SD-Card in an Raspberry Pi ?
The Datafolder is always the same and also the same size



We are currently at the beginning of the Chain, so the Datafolder will also get bigger
But when u install a Windows Server 2008 then u can easy add 5GB more HDD and u will not have any problems in the future

Unlike you I had no more stake rewards since then. They stopped as soon as I got that message: I was getting at least one stake reward per hour.
That's strange.


That's my silk.conf file, maybe that will help


Thanks ttoroie but I does not help. Still getting no connections when updating the silk.conf file and even by adding nodes manually the situation does not change.
It seems I have to wait for the wallet update.

if u have added addnodes in your conf then try do delete the peers.dat file
replace it could work too, but when u have addnodes then its build by the client itself

im currently compiling SLK on one of my raspberry pi's , but dont have SLK to test it, so i only can post an howto

just found this coin. looks good. alot of information on the op.

can someone break it down into key points and up and coming features?

i.e.

why should i buy this coin?

This would be a good place to start - https://silknetwork.org/files/brochure.pdf

Have a good read through that and then if you have questions, feel free to ask.

trying get me head around how slk is used when the actual currency is darkslk? can you explain in basic terms please. when drkslk is purchased using weaver you buy slk at market value to keep in reserves???

When a client buys DSLK at Weaver, Silk Network will match its value in SLK to buy back the released DSLK.

The accepted BTC that has been acquired for DSLK will then be used to buy back the SLK collateral that has been set out at purchase.

Over time both orders get filled.


And over the time the team get rich with the 5% lesser BTC price at Weaver compared to c-cex

I've noticed Silk wallet for Win64 has a fixed CPU usage: always 25%
It's good it does not consume too much RAM (less than 60MB), but CPU usage is a bit high.

Anybody can help? Anybody has a different experience?

Try deleting your peers.dat and restarting your wallet.

i have with the x64 client 2-9% with an i5 , u can set the network graph slider from 30min to 1day, this also will reduce CPU usage

Thank you guys, now CPU usage is at a normal level.
My last doubt is about having to add nodes manually every time I restart the wallet. It does not find them on its own.
I added silk.conf file but it did not help.

Everytime you restart? Where's the love? You should be on and never turn off and support the network with PoS Cheesy

BTW - https://github.com/SilkNetwork/Silk-Core/issues/20

u only need to add the addnodes 1 time and when u have connections then u can remove them because they are stored in the peers.dat and will apply at the next start

Cheers for the feedback guys. This is what I've got in top in a Lubuntu vm:

PID     USER      PR  NI    VIRT        RES      SHR    S %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND  
17833 user      20   0 1656724 116332  59736 S   99.7     4.7       8:55.76 silk-qt    


I checked in a second Lubuntu vm on a different machine and was getting the same thing, and it was hovering at around that level for most of the time the wallet was open (fully synced). It is a weird one. I guess if it isn't happening to anyone else it must be something on my end. Only wish I knew what.

What does your silk.conf look like?  If gen=1, you might have your CPU miner on.

mine is gen=0


settings on Deb 8.5 running the Qt

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
staking=0
testnet=0
txindex=1
generate=0



win10 with x64 client
with peaks up to 2.1 % when new block arrives
and with an empty conf

If you wish to add some nodes to your silk.conf you can use these:

addnode=162.243.163.103
addnode=62.30.13.24
addnode=slkexplorer.silknetwork.org
addnode=82.73.172.120
addnode=91.220.151.240

For windows users you will need to put these lines in a file named Silk.conf and copy this file in the:
C:\Users\...Your Account...\AppData\Roaming\Silk\

After you start the wallet you can also go to the Menu->Tools->Peers List
and if you see new ones post them here

Or u simply open your client , look for the tools menu , open the debug console and type there

addnode 162.243.163.103 add
addnode 62.30.13.24 add
addnode slkexplorer.silknetwork.org add
addnode 82.73.172.120 add
addnode 91.220.151.240 add

normaly 1 line should be enough if that host is up
but if u wanna be sure then u can use all 5 lines or if here where posted more then u can also add them
its much easier with the debuig console then by adding an conf file

when the DNS seeder will work properly then the adding of nodes isnt needed anymore
its just for the beginning of the new network until enough nodes are there

Styling of Silk(SLK) was checked on Ubuntu and OSX.

The developers are aware of the small styling changes that are required for Windows and will complete these within the next 48 hours.

If you are running any other Linux distros, please notify us of any styling that needs amending that we may of missed.

We will update the community once the updated binaries are available for download.

If i see this in the source



then your devs havent tested it much

Debian is looking like Windows , Black in Black = nothing to see until u have luck to click on the right spot to open atleast 1 menu item, then u also can see the others
