No, it uses the key you generated that's stored in ~/ufo_config.yml .

PMed you my new nick and pubkey via reddit.

Will that generate new Key?

The UFO server is ready!

You'll need to do a "git pull && npm install" to update it and dependencies and then run it with "node . ~/ufo_config.yml" (or nodejs if you have it installed that way).

 

Definitely put a support ticket in unless you are ok waiting a couple weeks.

I think they periodically do audits to catch things like this (like every few weeks or so).

That happens with cryptsy. You have to open a Support Ticket with them and include the TXID details. I have 2 open now for 2 different coins.

@Gnosis- , Its great to see you active on the forum. 

If @meeh, can set up a wiki in subdomain like wiki.anoncoin.net. I can move all the articles there and we can have a nice ads free wiki section. 
also, the forum at forum.anoncoin.net is very slow for some reason..

Probably. I actually don't know what MeehChaosIdea is, but Meeh could answer that if he's around.



The first of these four to be added will be Zerocoin. After that, it may be possible to add something like Cryptonote, but research will be required.

To add DarkSend, it will have to be all of these:

• decentralized
• secure (meaning it doesn't allow forgery or de-anonymization)
• incentive-compatible

...and I have doubts about all three of these. To be honest, though, I haven't researched all of it, and it would be hard to do without either having the source or reverse engineering the binaries (which would be very time consuming).

Is it possible to implement Cryptonote, DarkSend (if sources ever will opened), ZeroCoin and MeehChaosIdea (could someone explain what it is?) in one coin? Can be added native i2p routing through the tor? Will it be in AnonCoin?
P.S. Sorry for bad English.

Okay, troll, I'll bite just this one time.


As I said before, I've spent far too much time on this to abandon it. Most of my activity has been spent on the server for distributed RSA UFO generation (the "UFO server"). This is currently closed-source (to prevent gaming it), but will be opened up after generation is complete. Once generation starts, this aspect of the project will require minimal time, so I can return to Zerocoin development itself.


I recently had some time to look at Monero (Cryptonote variant) and it appears that it is actually less anonymous. Transaction size is proportional to the number of outputs you mix with, while this is not the case for zerocoin.  This is aside from the fact that a lot of these "anonymous" currencies don't run over Tor/I2P (last time I checked, Darkcoin was "planning it" but was still running on clearnet).  This means all of their fancy crypto and algorithms do nothing against an attacker that can monitor people's Internet connections.

Zerocoin was abandoned by the JHU team that created it because they saw efficiency advantages to zk-SNARKs. The problem with those is that there is no known way they can be made fully trustless. Adding this is not a quick fix, but instead would require the kind of cryptographic breakthrough that only comes after years/decades.

Curious, who wrote most of the zerocoin code?  I would imagine only a handful of programmers in this world have the right knowledge and skills to implement the zerocoin algorithm.

Lol, too bad it's never gonna happen. There hasn't even been 1 commit on Github. The "devs" arent going to implement zerocoin, it was all talk.

Not to mention, Cryptonote is more anonymous than zerocoin "would" be. Im 100% sure that zerocoin will never be made, why you may ask? Because it was abandoned by it's own devs.

When zerocoin is successfully implemented on Anoncoin, all the developers will be immortalized forever in bitcoin history -- the first to implement a truly anonymous coin.

I withdrew some anc ,processed  immediately.

It's been four days after being processed for me....and the last two emails I sent to support I haven't had any response at all.

everyone has this problem with craptsy. pls use other exchanges.

Been like that for a few days now, many who's had the same experience. I got my ANC after 4 days.

tried to withdraw some anc from cryptsy 24 hrs ago, still pending. they are aware of the issue and trying to fix it. anyone else in the same situation?

You can start by checking out the "zerocoin" branch of https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin and looking in src/libzerocoin . Try reading Tutorial.cpp to get an overall feel for how zerocoin works, then move on to understanding the rest of it. Most of that code was not written by me, by the way.

We will need to integrate libzerocoin with Anoncoin:

• loading and saving zerocoins
• pushing zerocoins into another wallet file (creating a new one if doesn't exist), and pulling them from another wallet file
• updating the protocol
• updating the blockchain format (both network and on disk)
• the Qt GUI

Also join #anoncoin on either Freenode or Irc2P (preferred). I'm there more frequently than here.
