Topic: Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history) - page 210. (Read 530660 times)
The website is down. Can't download the wallet or access any of the links. What's going on?
I thought the testnet was rolling out this week? Is that still going to happen?
Fusionhash would usually be your support point as that's where the error is. I see fusionhash have the following statement posted for the anoncoin pool "ANC cron locked up preventing payouts as well as stats from updating. Issue has been resolved, all shares are accounted for, and payouts have resumed. We apologize for the delay!"

Thanks for the reply. I have tried contacting them but the contact link fails upon submission. This message has been up a few days when things were working normally so that is part of my confusion. All my searches turn up empty so thought I would ask. I suspect if everyone using them was seeing this there would be some chatter about it.
Thanks again for the reply. I will sit tight and see.
All the best,

There is a announce at fusionhash pool: "ANC cron locked up preventing payouts as well as stats from updating. Issue has been resolved, all shares are accounted for, and payouts have resumed. We apologize for the delay!"
Fair warning noob here -
Hopefully this is the right spot to post this, pre-apologies if not. Using FusionHash to mine anc and as of last night not seeing updates in transactions or "last 20 blocks mined". Bgminer showing connections and acceptances and the dashboard is showing my hash rates and in/valid shares.
Can't tell if this is normal as the pool has not found a block in a while or if I have an issue on my end. The recent issue they had with status updates has me a little perplexed.
Is there a better way to tell if things are working correctly?
Thanks in advance,

Article about ANC and Zerocoin implementation at CryptocoinsNews.com. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/anoncoin-release-zerocoin-implementation-testnet-this-week/2014/04/07
It's a strange article that is more about the relationship of Bitcoin to altcoins, which Torpey, the author, says are merely experiments of features that might eventually make it into Bitcoin.
Would someone more competent than I am like to respond? I think Torpey is wrong about whether Bitcoin will eventually add in the functionality experiments of altcoins, particularly the Zerocoin implementation of ANC. ANC will have its own user base and will be, I think, a necessary alternative to Bitcoin, since the Bitcoin core developers don't seem to be very interested in thinking beyond the single application: a streamlined currency with mass adoption.

Agree. The author don't seem to understand the simple fact that there will be other coins around that can and will differentiate itself from bitcoin and serve purposes that bitcoin can not. Anonymity is one possible and needed extansion among many bitcoin don't want to offer.
Of course, most alts don't have any purpose or reason to exist at all. Just look at the scrypt coins from last summer like feathercoin, digitalcoin, worldcoin which are all trying to be just another litecoin with a few different parameters, developing the same pointless services that already exists for litecoin/bitcoin. And the same is of course true for most of the coins released the last months. Make a few changes, make a big deal out of it and market it as a revolution. One should think there were a limit to how many times the same wheel could be invented.
Lost my train of thought lol. What i meant to say is that we need innovation and anoncoin is among the few who are set to deliver just that. And that innovation don't necessary need to involve bitcoin. There is undoubtly a market for other coins.
how does freedom relate with chains?
In this case it does not.
I don't think Anoncoin is directly about freedom. I think it is about privacy (question mark) and security (chain).
Privacy allows more freedom, yes. But I think all cryptocurrencies are about freedom, and privacy is the only point where ANC differs from them.
However, I understand the chain may look coercitive, but it is one of a few cases where it is not. Because the zerocoin-powered (block)chain allows privacy (freedom).
nice initiative on the logo, I think it can use more refinement and maybe dropping the headless business man completely
I've been thinking about a lot of UI/UX tweaks on this coin's interfaces and logo definitely leads that effort

Looking good. The chains might be misinterpreted by some as restrictive rather than strength.
As for the current designs. How about adding a ? to the top right logo?
Especlially,I like the middle one on the first line.
I believe exposure to the coin will be exponential when ZC is officially implemented. BUT if there are no efforts from the devs and loyals to promote this breakthrough implementation, a "popular" coin will simply copy the implementation and take the glory for its own.
Technical innovation is mandatory for success but with no media coverage it will be copied by som1 else and anc will miss it's chance to glory.
Before getting the implementation and code online for the public, a campaign should be organized to promote this upgrade.

I agree. There should be set up some bounties and a fundraising for marketing. The coin is 10 months old and don't even have a logo.
Most coins is just marketing and hype without any technical innovation or purpose other then make some btc for devs/early adopters. Anoncoin is the exact oposite.
Anyone with some ideas?
I agree, but those interested in the growth and health of the Anoncoin must invest personally.
Everyone is free to start a new project related to Anoncoin. Everyone is free to invest his time, knowledge or money in that currency, you do not need any permission to act!
I think the long-term success of a crypto-currency is its acceptance by merchants and the quantity/quality of services that are created around.
I wholeheartedly agree. Nevertheless, the developers share a small responsibility in getting things started, as not all can be done by third parties. I am sure that they are all very busy in real life, so the first step would be to delegate this authority by naming about three people to work on PR/Web issues. (JackofAll appears to be MIA; in any case more than one person is needed).
A three person PR/Web team could easily oversee a variety of projects, including:
1. Updating the web page to describe the characteristics (and history) of the coin, including a brief description of the I2P and Zerocoin implementations.
2. Moving the official chat forum to anoncoin.net.
3. Setting up a donation fund for the development of a promotional video.
4. Setting up donation funds for completion of the “in planning/development” tasks listed on the web site.
5. Organization of some form of competition (perhaps with a reward) for a new coin logo.
6. Setting up an “Anoncoin monthly update”, similar to the weekly updates that are posted on the PPC forum.
7. Publicizing the faucet, so that more will donate to it, allowing newbies to experiment with zerocoin transactions.
8. Translation of the website into Chinese (and other languages), perhaps by way of a donation fund.
Yes these are great pointers to begin with. Website definitely needs re-branding to look more appealing and to include the progress and explain what ANC is all about. And not just another crypto. Emphasizing on the true anonymity it will have after ZC implementation.
And yes it's a snowball effect. Just get the word out in an appealing way ( Facebook page, rebranded website, tip to bitcoin news websites to publish articles abt ZC implementation... ) and it will be an exponential effect.
I will work on a logo and post it soon.
Great post lunokhod2.

You can send a tip to the website(Mail is at right of the website), as i did with unexcepted result...(Anyway they're reading e-mails most of time).It's a strange article that is more about the relationship of Bitcoin to altcoins, which Torpey, the author, says are merely experiments of features that might eventually make it into Bitcoin.

There is not a problem that no one wants to see anoncoin, the problem is that no one knows about anoncoin, therefore we should spread the information about anonoin.

I can throw in a few hundred $ and a small amount of anc/btc.
I think the community also should be able to make donations. I would gladly give a few anc to some projects with good potential.
I also thought about a Kickstarter clone that would allow everyone to raise Anoncoin funds for all kind of projects. If someone can help, please contact me in pm!
Make something to streamline political donations
anybody that believes in anything will find utility in this, since popular opinion can turn against you in coming years, or a government may become vilified in the future, a bigger risk if you do any international backing
A long long long list of private citizens and companies that became part of a witch hunt after one of those events happened
@gostrol again we appreciate your initiative though so let us know if you are interested in doing more designs with our input
Do you think different marketing quality is the only reason for the significant difference in coin market cap between Darkcoin and Anoncoin, $ 2,649,719 vs. $ 615,943 ?
Could be when looking at Google Trends. Darkcoin interest continues to rise while the searches for Anoncoin are looking similar to the ANC chart, both getting closer and closer to the all time low.
Poor people who invest their money in the Darkcoin are unaware and uninformed.
The developer of Darkcoin created this currency in the sole purpose of personal enrichment (4500 first blocks with reward 500 DRK mined in less than 32 first hours). Today (some weeks later), reward is 19 DRK. Check their blockchain if you have any doubt!
Anoncoin was created by developers fascinated by the freedom and anonymity!
A debate on the Darkcoin not place here and it will be my last post about this monkey money.
omg premine stigma oh noes. darkcoin is implementing anonymity technologies with somewhat active development, and people will find utility in that until something with more utility comes out

Please replace the chains. and try something different.
would just like to mention that I disagree with this logo direction
I'm still thinking something simple like along the lines of an edge directed node (ripple logo) , or myriad coin's logo
something that appears simple and friendly, instead of a fringe movement
zerocoin's logo is decent too btw
