Now that the lightweight wallet Electrum has been ported to Litecoin. I feel strongly that we should start a crowdfunding campaign for a bounty for porting Electrum to Anoncoin. And the building of an Electrum plugin for Zerocoin.
You would have to find a person who does this. I dont see Electrum as healthy for the network. Im not talking about the trust/security issue.There's now a lot more sole mobile and lightweight devices users then there is people who have access to their own PC. Plus sooner rather than later Electrum will be officially in the Android Play store.
Just because most ppl use it, dosnt mean we will make things more vulnerable so its accessable on these "devices".
PS: no offense, i dont visit scumbook links.
No offense taken I'm not really a fan of closed garden social networks much either but the FBook does have a lot of content. I2p is being developed for Android so why not potentially an Android wallet via I2p. Instead of an Electrum build blockchain.info code could potentially be ported and exteneded for Zerocoin. I'm a desktop PC nerd with a big HDTV for a monitor user myself, but for a large majority of people now it's either smartphones, tablets, netbooks and nettops only. Although the amount of full PC's in use worldwide is expected to still grow by 25% over the next five years. So it's certainly not the end of the world staying full and paper wallet only. Or at least until I2p on Android is fully developed?
If I2P works @ Android then we would need a decentralized way of supplying the wallet, so no centralized things like electrum/blockchain.info or similiar. We would have to patch bitcoinj (as this is used normaly) with ANC and ZC support which seems infeasible. We could however deploy anoncoind for the devices and create a GUI around it. This we development dosnt have to happen twice and if new features come into ANC, the android wallet will also have it.
Im against targeted software (software which only runs on platform or device X), as its a waste of time/ressources.
PS: it is possible to flash most android phone with a real linux system
tough normal users wont do that.What about an Android client that is not a full Anoncoin node, but instead talks (over I2P) to a server that the user sets up on their own PC, or syncs up with it over LAN when the user is at home? This would still be fully decentralized, since it's one of the user's devices trusting another device owned by that same user, rather than trusting a server run by somebody else.
I'm a bit skeptical that the current generation of smartphones can verify blocks containing a lot of Zerocoin mints and spends, and store the required amount of ZC spend proofs. It might require more cores, more flash, better battery technology, etc.
EDIT: And w.r.t. matthewh3's statistic about the number of smartphone users, we should not consider the general Internet population, but instead the privacy-conscious Internet population as our customers, and much more of them would be reluctant to use smartphones for purposes that require good anonymity (for life-or-death situations, etc.) It's become more or less common knowledge among such types that smartphones are a highly opaque hardware and software stack compared to PCs, and much less certain that there are no backdoors... therefore, we would expect the privacy-conscious demographic to be skewed toward more PCs and fewer smartphones.
I also agree on the look wrt devices, ppl who want ANC+ZC in the future are certainly not the most stupid folks.
Graphics are now working on the wiki (thanks Meeh!). Feel free to upload anything you want. Here is an example

Ugh 
I barely have time to follow updated being made here.
hope all is fine! And think of advertising ... I once did the suggestion to go to https://www.fiverr.com/categories/online-marketing/#layout=auto&page=1
and check out some of these people to get Anoncoin to some PR, maybe even outside the darkweb.

I think it's a little too early for a lot of people to be using non-standard wallet software, especially one that requires trusting server operators. I could be wrong; please try and support your position further
Most people use mobile or lightweight devices for bitcoin and running a full wallet is not an option to the majority of users. It will really hamper Anoncoin adoption not having lightweight wallets like Electrum plus mobile wallets. Maybe someone could fork the blockchain.info GitHub for a suitable bounty instead. We do need lots of people running full nodes though. To try and avoid the sybil attack problem So maybe we should look at the Peercoin model. Where full nodes get paid via staking by running full time nodes 24/7/365. This would of course make the coin inflationary in nature although it could be done a very small rate.

wrt Cryptsy Xactions, @K1773R knows how to fix them ....
One I had stuck had 400 inputs, I think K1773R rebroadcast it ... not sure, maybe that's something a cron script anywhere can do ... just my bit's worth
No, the person with the stuck tx (sent or recieved) has to rebroadcast it, so i recieve it. all i did was changing max tx size and block creation settings. i pointed this out at some other posts already.One I had stuck had 400 inputs, I think K1773R rebroadcast it ... not sure, maybe that's something a cron script anywhere can do ... just my bit's worth
I've only had issues with transactions originating from cryptsy; never between wallets or friends. Just my $0.02. And I thought I saw a post about Darkcoin/ #drk, going open source? Does anyone else find it amusing that, (if it's true and they finally released the code) they took these steps now; with just a few weeks left until fill implementation of ANC/ZC? Just thought the timing was interesting... lols, there can be only one...
Yes. I do find it interesting. My perspective is that of the two holy grails of crypto currency - decentralization and anonymity , we now see a surge in the momentum of the anonymity attribute as being the differentiator in the crypto world. The race to substitute BITCOIN started with the origin of alternate cryptocurrency space. The race is starting to get hot now!!!!
