Just found this post and edit the conf file with just this node
addnode=82.8.176.59

it seems to be syncing again
I'll let you know

Anyway why is that it started working only when I added SLievensDRKSLK node?
Does it have anything to do with Darksilk?

I've also upgraded to Silkcoin v1.1.0.21-g32a928e

Much better background anyway but slow as well

and how do I do that?

Just purchased 515,410 Silkcoin. I also have 230,000 in buy orders. Thinking of breaking a million  

Should I do it?

No - sell your coins and jump on the next train

It was a rhetorical question.

I will get some more if someone decides to sell 500k on the exchanges.

Keep up the great work guys I'm looking forward to Drkslk 

I'm still waiting for someone to upload the synced blockchain
Please it only takes few minutes and saves us all of days of syncing

If someone wants to start on Silkcoin he would definitely quit this coin if the wallet syncs at this rate, not good for business 

Your first two sentences were legitimate and respectful. Your last spoke of a true noob. Business is just fine considering the infancy of alts.

I see you have been interested in silk for quite  awhile but cmon. Maybe review a few pages or even a couple posts before yours and realize the dev is extremely busy testing a new release.

The wallet syncs just fine and you don't even need a conf file. Open the wallet and walk away or continue working or gaming or surfing...whatever it is you do that makes waiting for the silk wallet to sync such a horror.

Sorry for being blunt but take a breath before typing disrespectful comments towards a dev who is not on your payroll but still works to improve your future.

Sorry guys if I was disrespectful
I was hoping someone else had the same problem and could give me a solution, this used to be a friendly and helpful community for me
I wasn't asking help from SLievensDRKSLK, but I have to say that he was very kind, him alone would make me go for Darksilk
I'll guess the last resort is to reinstall OS and everything else and start from scratch
Sorry again

I would suggest backing up your wallet then wiping roaming/silkcoin folder and start from scratch w/o a conf file.
