Wasn't me who pointed that out, it was Dragon.
I have had no problem with my bitcoin wallet at all, it synced almost immediately.

The Idea of it I like. However I think most, if not 90% of people I know that might be interested in this kind of anonymity, would be put off by the difficulty of the whole setup process involved.
Especially when the wallet says its ready but it isn't and you need to go do a whole lot more work/syncing to get it even functioning.

The time isn't really the problem, its the whole process. I know this might be the price of anonymity, but I think it could be streamlined a LOT more if that's what the creators wanted.

I guess that's the way it is intended at this stage however, otherwise I am sure it would have been addressed by now!

I wanted to compare the speed of synchronizing anc/btc from the beginning ..
But the daily synching is also faster at least x5
I use the wallet over clearnet, so I do not know how is with Tor/I2P

And for all who use Clearnet,

with Zercoin it will make transactions anonymous even with clearnet use, which is why it is important to complete it. That way everyone that know how to use bitcoin/litecoin today will be able to use anoncoin to stay anonymous.

This is wrong.
There are certain attacks to check if a given *coin{d,-qt} has an address in its wallet or not. So it is still a good idea to use it over I2P, otherwise you can map the location to an anddress.

A lot of effort to get Anoncoins up and running. Just got the I2P network running and the Anoncoin wallet has been syncing for half an hour with probably another 45 mins to go!!!

I wonder if this puts people off joining this currency and if it hurts/helps it?

I'm using without I2P , syncing was half hour , without any problems with wallet for about 6 months since I have ANC.
People will join sooner or later.
For me personaly , high price is not the target, I just want to send my money/BTC/ANC without tracking.
I have need for that because I want and like my privacy.

So I'm waiting Zero in ANC, and I'm all in this coin. Untill now I'm invest 35% planed.

** Do you have BTC wallet, or if you don't, try sync that wallet, you can go on vacation and left computer ON..

I think the sync time is really just fine, especially, as srAGon925 [edit] points out, in comparison with Bitcoin. If ANC offers unique and solid anonymity, no one will mind the start-up/set-up issues. Think of the relative slowness of Tor, for example.

I see that China wakes up smarter this morning,
they can feel in the air that Zero is coming in ANC

VERY high volume Wink

Dude,the price increases because the biggest bank of China(ICBC) issued a notice banning BTC finally,Government`s intervention will come to an end in the short term. Grin

I was just copying text from anoncoin.net and shortening it.
Anyway, the meaning of the text is not the point here Wink

Just putting my logo in a context to make it more "real".

Draft.

Perhaps you should remove the sentence "darkets, exchanges, and coin mixers..."

I don't think that there any "ANC coin mixers", and even if there were, these would always be less secure than using zerocoins.

On a side note, I was wondering if anyone has had difficulties withdrawing from Cryptsy? I made a withdrawal, it still hasn't shown up, confirmed via the email they sent and they have said the, "check's in the mail..." Great... However when I check the transaction ID it doesn't show up on the blockchain at all. I've rescanned my wallet a few times to no avail. Just wanted to see if anyone else has recently been having issues. [edit.- FYI, It seems like Cryptsy's ANC wallet is down right now or having some issues which they hope to resolve shortly. Hence my transactions haven't posted. Ahh Cryptsy how I love and hate thee lol.]

If you open a ticket, they will resolve this in about 24h. I've had this happen several times, and it worries me alot: Either they are running a fractional reserve racket, or their software really sucks. In either case, I will not trust them until they get an external audit done.

I understand the need to differentiate from the current logo imagery to something different. The question mark design is a bit too intense for me. I prefer the simple "A" logo that has been thrown around a bit more. On a side note, I was wondering if anyone has had difficulties withdrawing from Cryptsy?

I have to be honest - the question mark just reminds me of an information booth. And it may connote luck, chance, or confusion to some viewers.

I thought about some signal-to-noise image, but that's too abstract to capture, I think.

Hello,

I have tried many designs and here's the only one I'm really satisfied with.
I prefer the question mark as ANC symbol rather than the A as the question mark directly suggests anonymity.
By adding a square to the question mark, it draws a locker and a A. So you can find in the logo concepts of anonymity (the question mark), security (the locker), anoncoin (the A), and coin (the circle).
Here's a few variations in black, white and gray:

And for those who like colors, I've made a little jsfiddle you can play with (just click the image to pop the color picker) Wink

I hope you like it as it will probably be my last try Wink

I like this!!
And not just locker, you can see A , all in one!

The last one is my favorite.

5 Bitcoin Projects That Could Make Payments Far More Anonymous
http://www.wired.com/2014/05/bitcoin-anonymous-projects/#comment-1370374329

“Mixing up transactions makes tracing cryptocurrency payments difficult. One team of cryptography researchers at Johns Hopkins wants to make it mathematically impossible. Later this year, they plan to release Zerocoin, another alternative to bitcoin that uses a technique to anonymize its coins that’s much stronger than Dark Wallet’s or DarkCoin’s, and that’s impossible with bitcoin as it currently functions. Zerocoin uses what cryptographers call “zero knowledge proofs,” a seemingly magical but decades-old trick that can prove a mathematical statement is true without revealing the contents of what’s being computed.”
