and who is in charge for the website?

Good idea!

I do not own BTC myself neither, this is why I shall buy new ones before sending to yobit, hence the delay of a few days to get money.

Here is the Zec address yobit generated for my account: t1Zh5RmUrsW1HMTyf7bnkRNuEw6WcSpjpyG

Otherwise the btc address is still valid 1PkKCC6ogaSJGig27hapf9kD3XtgXy4LYE

Thanks to all miners and donators!

As said, we never owned anoncoin twitter account, they were from community members, now they do not follow anoncoin anymore it seems. I have the @cryptoslave twitter account but not a lot of followers and I do not know how many are interested in Anoncoin or in my random tweets

Can people interested in helping say so here.

http://zcash.flypool.org is pretty good and pays when one reaches 0.01 ZEC (0.00106789 BTC)

I think I have a solution to help you CS. Why don't you provide your yobit ZEC address here and we can join together and do some mining directly to your account until you get to 0.1BTC. I have no BTC. All my coins are in other currencies. 

This coin was one of my first scrypt coins i mined . and i always loved it! like every coin it has seen its ups and downs but by god it is still here and doing pretty damn GOOD, The Devs job is not a easy one so a big" ANC BRAVO" to the Devs

P.S.  i was actively mining it already for a while before ANC  actually sponsored the mining pool Cryptotroll... for the nostalgia of things .... lol great memories!!!!

well isn't it possible to use the twitter account of anoncoin to ask for donations?
i mean its not much money. Maybe the crowdfunding time is too short?,
i reminded the main thread once a gain i hope there will be some more donators, i mean to donate 0,01btc should be possible for a lot of people here

i have a funny idea, if Yobit adds ANC i would inform BTC38 they should hurry up because there is a new competionion Market.
Maybe that speeds up their actions.

Just to clarify, there was not a premine of 10% or anything on Anoncoin. At launch Meeh mined 1000 block (0.14% of a total of 3100000) before sharing the chain in public, for testing purpose, and he gave them back to the community via donation thread and faucet. I know it has a fact because he gave to me my first 150 ANC this way (100 on forum and 50 in I2P chat).

Premine: 1000 blocks (4200 ANC) that were returned to the community by community donations and a public faucet.  

Other than that there was absolutely no premine you can check the ANC source code on github.

Thank you X68N, you are the only one interested in yobit fund it seems... as you were the only donator! I will complete the form in a couple of days and we will get listed on yobit

CS

Meeh has done some amazing work on i2p recently and the encrypted Internet traffic is having negligible impact on performance. A year ago, the extra load was definitely noticeable. Now I'm continually checking to see if i2p is active because it's so fast. There is more interest in i2p cryptocurrency now as it is performing better. There are worldwide political and economic reasons why coins such as Anoncoin are becoming more saught after.

After all the Windows based issues in the news regarding hacking. A more secure Linux wallet would be ideal. I've created this tutorial in making a portable, wallet, with a flash drive bootable Linux OS. I've tested it thoroughly and see no issues with it. Please give me feedback http://www.docomputing.co.uk/running-the-anoncoin-wallet-on-a-flash-drive-usb/index.html

It's a super fast wallet, i2p and Operating system and the great thing is you can set it up as cold storage. Exposing your wallet to limited Internet time reduces the possibility of hacking. Going to ask the development team if they want to include my version on the Wiki.

Next job is to get zerocoin configured. Going to check over the existing zerocoin code in the next few weeks and see what can be done. If there's any developers not on irc2p that want to contribute, please get on irc2p and let the team know if you're available to contribute.

Machico, could you please give me your thoughts on crowd funding. I will ask the developers what they think a fair price for creating a zerocoin solution would be. I was thinking if the crowd funding  price was high enough, it would gain more interest, and possibly lead to greater PR, an attractive solution  for new developers etc. If we propose a complete zerocoin solution rather than broken down deliverables it may incourage a team of developers to get involved, work together and they can then divide the proceeds between themselves once a zerocoin solution has been established. What do you and X68N think?

my opinion is i did  like the altcoins from the start on more than BTC.
Today i dislike BTC even more than in the past because
- its slow af (i have 40 min transfertime)
- transfers can get stuck when you send with the wrong "fee/byte"-rate which is fucked up because the fee is flexible as i understand
  and if the fee is rising slowly your transaction will stuck, For me one needed ~20 hours! But it can get much worse see
  https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
- Bitcoin was propagated as alternative to the Banks with their high fees but now bitcoin fees become expensive themselves!
- Bitcoin as liberation from the Central Bank authority but these days bitcoin it self is not decentral but instead controled by a handful of  
   people  with the private keys to change the code.
- The Client needs 6-10 days to download and ~125GB Harddisk (Litecoin needs only 8GB even with a much faster Blocktime)
- only 4 connections on average (ANCi2p has 18 lol)

Overall its bulky and there are better coins aviable.
The only thing positive for me about BTC is the high price

Also 1 currency only  is unnatural, competition in the free market brings evoloution.

Very interesting article. Bitcoin is now only 47% of the altcoin market.

CS - Does anoncoin own the anonexchange.com domain?

I have used exchanged.i2p and thought it was pretty good. There are some improvements that could be made, but considering it's up and running already it would be great to continue using it. Personally I don't think it's a good idea to single out competitive currency as it removes portability for those interested in crossing over from inferior privacy tech like zcash.

Cryptoslave : I don't know if this has already been considered but could we possibly fork the zcoin project and bolt on the i2p infrastructure afterwards,  saving time trying to integrate zcoin code into existing Anoncoin code?

The fact that Meeh is still working on i2p integrations for other coins means he would be the man for this job. I tried to contact Meeh last night, but he wasn't around.

What do you think Cryptoslave?

Good research. I think Digibyte does but CS is probably the best person to confirm that.

i think at the start there should only 3 coins added:
BTC (most known, but slow as fk) ,
LTC (second oldest succsessful way faster)
ETH newcomer but already traded on many Exchanges.

Coinmarketcap is not a very unbiased indicator* so i made a research on how many exchanges the coins are traded and how the moneyflow
is distributed on all exchanges where the coin is traded. *some coins in the Top10 have only 1-3 exchanges with massive volume,
but imaginge if that exchange vanishes (hack,fraud,gov regulation fail,DDOS) like MtGox.Cryptsy and so on. The The coin will drop instant out
of the Top ten. So here is my research:



i think monero should not be added at the start since it will give them a feature "for free".
Give me some counter arguments to that statement pls

does anyone know if Digibyte of bytecoin have some "anon" features?

X68N - I think we will get into yobit at some point. They have loads of crappy coins there compared to ANC.

In relation to ANC in general, we need a complete re-organisation for ANC to survive. We need a clear plan for the next 5 years including revenue streams for continuous development. Furthermore, your idea for an exchange initially to trade ANC vs BTC, LTC, Zcash, Monero, ETH, ETC, Dash, etc, is a great idea. That could be the revenue stream ANC needs. We could create a second crowdfunding proposal for a Cryptocurrency exchange whereby we could give some equity to the donors and use it to support ANC. Ysell & CS, what do you think about this idea?

i think from my pov as trader/investor that exchanges are cruicial for any coin.

ANC is the underdog in terms of the coinmakretcap but hasthe advantage that its more popular in Asia (BTC38) than the other crypto coins.
Since BTC38 is paused. The Tor exchange is dead too.(in the past we had 4-5 exchanges.The only exchanges left now are Nova for clearnet and the i2pexchangeD which is impossible to acces for me since my router is NAT (and many other non-tech users too). (curios fact: anoncoin-i2p works fine with NAT)

So we are 1 exchange away from mainstream extinction. Thats why i suggested to crowdfund for YoBit.

Anothe idea would be this @ CryptoSlave: Is it possible to add a inhouse exchange into the anoncoin client?
(this could be implemented with some sort of anon chat protocol i think. if yes how difficult would it be?)

I can add nothing here. I have no coding knowledge.

CS - What do you think?

Can someone with some developer brains compare https://zcoin.io/get-zcoin/ implementation of zerocoin with ANC Anoncoin zerocoin work. It looks like the zerocoin content could be downloaded from github.com and added to the ANC to create a hardfork https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin.

ANC has the added benefit of having and integrated i2p tunnel. With my limited coding knowledge I've just gone through a bit of code and it looks very similar to ANC. I can't be the only one to have seen this?  I'll get on irc2p and talk over the code. If this is the case, there is no need to crowdfund the zerocoin elements, but rather fund the integration of this existing zerocoin code into the ANC system. I'm struggling to see how it's much different than a cut and paste. Okay that's a bit exaggerated, but surely there must be a developer able to do this?
