Ysell - I will read the Zerocoin info you suggested. If I get my coins back, I have no intention of selling them. I think we (as a community) can still get this project on the road. I was wondering if we should all contact Cryptoslave and offer our help and individual skills to save the project. I understand that the main skills they need at the moment are people that can code? Unfortunately, that is a skills I don't have. However, I can offer other skills like maintaining the twitter/facebook account, research, writing articles, etc.

I think at this early stage anything anyone can do will help. I, like many others on here will offer support if I can. I can juggle the forum when I'm out and about working. I can't login via i2p when I'm out and update the community on latest development chats . I think being able to update the community outside of i2p would be great. It would be incredible if Anoncoin community were to vote on certain jobs, paying with Anoncoin for completion, for example "Zerocoin implementation".

Yes, I agree everybody is welcome to join for contribution! Anoncoin is an open source project and we are very happy to have more people involved!

I'm using the nodes off of https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/ANC/ and have 4 active connections (clearnet) however my blockchain is not catching up. This is on a fresh install. I hear I2P seems to be working better and maybe this is what I need to do to get it to work but is there any reason why clearnet shouldn't be downloading the blockchain even with 4 peers?

Clearnet will work, but you have to install the bootstrap file or you'll be waiting days for the block chain to sync. The bootstrap brings it down to hours to sync. https://wiki.anoncoin.net/How_to_use_a_bootstrap_file_to_speed_up_initial_synchronization#For_Windows_users

Hi,

Just to remember you: Anoncoin 0.9.6.13 is a fork of bitcoin 0.10.99 so there is included lots of improvement in particular header first synchronisation.

Quote from: Cryptoslave on May 22, 2016, 05:52:42 PM

- Many excellent improvements such as for instance header-first synchronisation, leading to much quicker I2P synchronisation and block download

This is much quicker to synchronize, especially over I2P, but this is done by first downloading headers from 2 peers and THEN blocks from all peers 8+

Synching online, the block number bar will not increase before all headers are downloaded, so this is normal behaviour. When synching from bootstrap however, the block number bar will increase because both header and block are synched in parallel from the bootstrap.

AnonCoin blockchain, freshly synced, is available for download at CryptoChainer.com. This snapshot is from the new wallet. This is a very old coin, and takes nearly forever to sync from scratch.

It may have been the case the blockchain was slow to synch on 0.8.5.6, but with this new client 0.9.6.11 featuring Headers-first synchronisation it is much more quick!

Here is a test I did today:

21h50: start a freshly installed Anoncoin 0.9.6.11 64 bit with no blockchain and no bootstrap.dat, on a win7 laptop

21h50-23h30: Synchronisation of the block-headers takes 1h40 (see the first part of the graph, with smallest bandwidth).
It may seems the client is doing nothing as the blocks increment slowly, but the progress can be followed by checking the bandwidth use or by typing 'getchaintips' in the debug console.

23h30: begin block download from 16 peers in parallel (the blocks increment quickly and bandwidth increase alot). Header-first synchronisation as adapted in Anoncoin 0.9.6.11 download the headers from 2 peers in parallel but the blocks from all the peers, here from 16 peers which is the max outbound connections possible.

1h30: Anoncoin 0.9.6.11 was fully synched after 3h40 and 506 MB.

So if you want to know how far your wallet has synched just type in debug 'getchaintips', and after the headers have synched the blocks will increase.

Hi guys,

It's been a long time I visited this thread -- I even managed to loose my login information. Anyway, nice to see some familiar faces in here, hopefully the development of anoncoin will continue, it is a great and rare coin. Great to see some activity - keep up the good work.

Best,
carbonyl

Edit:

ok now it gets more confusing i cant use the coins because the error message says they might already spend in another wallet.
But why are they still in that wallet and dont vanish?

how can i fix that copy wallet to get up to date?
(assuming i dont have the original anymore due hardware crash)

i posted a line which you have to add to see the real balance. if you use a current master build (you arent!) then this wouldnt be a issue aswell.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19140280

after it, you have to run once with -zapwallettxes

Hello,

i have a very confusing situation. i always thought how much coins a wallet hold depend on the key of that wallet
and if you copy the wallet(recieving key) it should be the same amount after the sync.

I made some 5 backups in the past of one wallet but now i have 5 different balances ?
Lets say(wallet backups1-5 all have the same recieving adress)
10 + 20 + 30 +40 + 100 coins.
(10anc was first back up 100anc the last)

it seems that if i move the highest balance then the other coins should vanish(so i would have only 100)?
or do i have 10 + 20 + 30+40 +100 = 200 coins in total? that would be great xD

dont just swap wallets around in the .anoncoin folder. use multiple instance (use -datadir to point to another directory).

also you can use coin control, eliminating the need for multiple wallets.

Thank you it's catching up now!!!!

So it seems the bootstrap helped get me about a 1/4 of the way caught up but now I'm stuck at 2 years and 15 weeks behind. At this point I'm not sure what to do, switch over to I2P??

No need. It will complete on clearnet. I left mine to complete overnight, and by the morning it was complete. Stop screen timeout /saver. Try it again. It should work

i have an open ticket on BTC38 where i asked when ANC will be open for Deposits again,

I tried to use BTC38 and nothing happened when I hit submit to enter a trading password.

When I tried to send a message to support I got the message "Submit fail."

I even tried their Chinese page with similar results.

They don't seem to be doing well.

there was a fork, you should use the newest version:
https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/releases
the first one is the i2p version which has more connections than the clearnet.

This did the trick! Before, I was using the newest version as it had the "This is a HARDFORK build" displayed. I did discover that if I ran it for a long time (over an hour) that I finally got 1 clearnet connection. After a few minutes with your release, I quickly have 13 I2P connections. For whatever reason I wasn't able to get I2P connections with my earlier setup. (I thought it was setup correctly for I2P but the convenient zipped folder at github.com is clearly setup better. A long time ago my setup was able to connect through I2P but that had stopped working.)

I double-checked anoncoin.net and they don't point people to the GitHub URL. Instead they point them to https://anoncoin.net/downloads/0.9.6.11/

"if you have done this, then there are 2 error sources left
1. software firewall / windows firewall
2. you router/nat firewall"

Yeah, I was worried about that but didn't find anything in such firewalls.

I am unable to get any active connections. I used to get them but this stopped working 45 weeks ago.

I have tried https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/ANC/

I have tried using both clearnet and I2P.

Any ideas?

if you already use this veriosn and dont get connections after 6 hours you can download the bootstrap file
