Eh , looks like I'm wrong. Old tube type electronics has electrons going from cathode to anode, but in elecroplating material travels from anode to cathode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroplating I still maintain that using both as silver is the most practical however. Chuck A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
