I'm happy to announce that we're well on our way to solving the problem and things are under control. I'll have an info-graphic up later to outline what's going on in the anon website to clear up any confusion on that front.
richlist?
http://chainz.cryptoid.info/pc/#!richIt's worth noting that the big wallets that aren't staking most likely belong to bittrex.
the team should post their identity ...
always good for trust
no irc channel?
hompeage not impressive
FUD / scam accusations
i think its risky :| (first noob impression)
I'm not exactly careful about hiding my identity, so anyone particularly clever and resourceful could probably figure out who I am, but I'm not going to blast my name all over btctalk. All a google search for me would reveal anyway is that I'm an old poet, that I had a beautiful love story with my ex-wife, and that I've got the absolute coolest kid in the world.
I tried the anonymous transaction function. It doesnt't work, all it does is send the coins to a different address, and from there it comes right into your primary address, and it is all viewable at the block explorer.
Scamcoin.
I literally just discovered this as well and have sent a message to the dev about how we can go about fixing it. It's an experimental proof of concept and the dev is new to crypto, but a highly skilled and talented developer nonetheless. We should indeed have looked more closely at the blockchain and done more testing before release to double-check his work and I apologize for that. I will personally work closely with the dev to ensure proper anonymity is achieved and see that it gets fixed today. Please stand by on my word. We had no intentions of misleading anyone.
As soon as I discuss the code with the dev, and we set a course of action in motion I will put together a whitepaper explaining exactly how the anonymous function works for complete transparency.
EDIT: For clarity and transparency, from what I found it looks like the current implementation basically forwards the coins to the destination. It provides a simple mask for the transaction, but it's easy to trace back through the block-chain if you know what to look for. There was supposed to be a mixing that takes place but obviously that's not happening right now.
EDIT 2: After playing with the daemon I'm willing to bet it's a silly configuration mistake that's stopping the mix from taking place in the first place. I can't confirm that with the dev right now as he's asleep (I'm the only one awake right now apparently), and I can't make the change personally, but that's what it looks like to me.
Looks like an honest mistake, and I'm sure there are some other cool features you guys are rolling out too. Looking forward to see how this coin grows with this new team!
Yeah. So much in development actually. But we like to just drop ninja bombs on you. In the future we'll make sure to be more careful on the testing side of things before launching though. We just really, really wanted to get one of our major developments out there asap so people knew we were serious. The anon website is just the tip of the iceberg.
I think we need to get on poloniex first for people to feel a sense of "mainstream" with the coin. Miners and traders will follow suit. Mintpal will come slowly but surely.... tons of features in the works. People are going to facepalm themselves once they realize they're too late for the party
