Hi all!
Been a little afk from internet the past week, but back now!
Many has wondered and asked about whats Anoncoin going to do when v2 of zerocoin is released, if it's gonna affect it's development, etc etc etc. And it's not time effective to answer one at a time
I will write a blog entry about it, where I will answer where,what,when,why and hopefully the rest of w's :p
We're about to release a new site as well. I'll get back to you in short time! Also, I think Matthew is going to give a talk on Monday at New York City College, so I think I post the blog entry after that, in case he says anything that could become a question.

Any closer to the blog entry? Really keen to see what's going on regarding ANC and Zerocoin. Waiting for this announcement before making the next move

(first off, I need to get a copy of what he said, next I need to think trough it, after that discuss it with the rest of the team, then get time to write the blog)I'm a little bit confused of Matthew Green's speech right now, as he doesn't mention Anoncoin anywhere as far as I can see... but it was mentioned a few times already that Zerocoin will be implemented into Anoncoin:
how far is your zerocoin implementation?
Was just coming here to ask the same thing. Any updates?
It's still in an early stage. The first part will be implementing the early alpha of Zerocoin into the Anoncoin testnet, then comes the testing to discover bugs within Zerocoin itself that the Zerocoin devs will be working on. I would not expect a fully working zerocoin implementation until the end of the year at best. If it works flawlessly the first time around (personally I believe there's a ~1% chance of that happening) it would probably be complete during november.
So I'm really looking forward to a clarification of the implementation of Zerocoin into Anoncoin.
In simple and quick words: Matthew is a odd guy saying "please send an mail", and when we do it there is no fucking reply. We have decided to do it on our own, we don't need him. Final. There has been no contact between us other than the public posts on twitter, he obviously can't handle email systems since he has not replied me, Gnosis or any other person trying to contact him. The zerocoin mailinglist is also dead, seen people ask questions, never any replies from the zerocoin guys.
There is also no "flaws" with the old zerocoin implementation, just some temporary disk increments that can be solved. From the little I read on reddit it seems like Matthew and the rest of the group of can't-handle-email-systems guys haven't been able to even get the whitepapers finished. Those was dued to early December IIRC from Matthew's tweet 16. Nov?. - Blog entry will be written when I've gone more into details about his speak, haven't had time to hear it yet.
At last, sneakpeak; we're in discussion on "upgrading" zerocoin with multiple modulus, different denominations (10 ANC, 1 ANC, 0.1 ANC, etc.) and more. This will then slowly move away from the original zerocoin design.
