and the coin is not Proof of Script
Proof of Work with the Scrypt algorithm. It's based on Litecoin which also uses the Scrypt Proof of Work algorithm. Smiley
I'm interested in Zerocoin implementation news. Any updates? Smiley

Hello ANC Dev Team  Grin  

First of all I want to thank you guys for all the great work you are doing with this coin. I truly believe ANC will flourish if it continues down its current path. With that being said, I wanted to share some of my thoughts.

What happens when the hard limit of 4.2 million coins is reached? I didn't read anything about transaction fees, and the coin is not Proof of Stake, so what is the plan to sustain the network? I know that reaching the hard limit is far off in the future, and changes could be made to the code for tx fees, but I just want to know what you guys have in mind.

Sincerely,
myner

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.
I wish you luck on the implementation of Zerocoin into Anoncoin! I'd be happy to be a beta-tester for you!
Also, I notice that on http://faucet.anoncoin.net that it tells us how many nodes are online (top-right corner). Is it possible to have a page that gives us a list of nodes that are online to connect to? I would find that very helpful to get more peers when connections are low! Smiley

Thanks, we sure do appreciate all resources contributed to the project. I will send you a notice when the alpha/beta testing begins.
Great idea. I can't promise it will be up and running right away as everyone is busy at the moment, but we'll look into getting a list of active nodes up and running asap.
I will PM you when I find some time about ideas on contributing to the project...

This post sums up the temporary fix for OS X 10.8.x until a compatible release is out.

If Anoncoin-Qt crashes at launch on Mac OS X 10.8.x follow these steps.

Code:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo cp -n /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/* /usr/lib/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/ /opt/local/lib/

The output should say:
cp: /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtCore.framework is a directory (not copied).
cp: /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtGui.framework is a directory (not copied).
cp: /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtNetwork.framework is a directory (not copied).

You should now be able to start Anoncoin-Qt.


In case you tried an early fix you might have an issue with other apps crashing with the output shown below:

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
   /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
   /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

To fix this issue, go through these steps.

Code:
cd --
mkdir librestore
cd librestore
curl -O http://home.himolde.no/~romfo/lib.tar.gz
tar -xjf lib.tar.gz
sudo cp usr/lib/libz.* /usr/lib/
why not cp -R ? is it intentionally that those 3 folders arrent copied over?

Yes intentional as they are not needed in /opt/local/lib/. We mainly need the libboost* and openssl* dylib files. libz should NOT be overwritten (hence the cp -n correction) as it destroys most other 3rd party apps running on mac os.
Not easy to tame the mountain lion.

Apparently not needed in 10.8 on that path. I guess Qt work as it should, however libz and openssl seems to be the problem atm.

Anyway cp -R too would do the trick too Smiley

Why does the OSX version not work?
openssl linking.

The Anoncoin-Qt executable clearly points to the right directory.
Code:
@executable_path/../Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
@executable_path/../Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

However, it still try to look for libssl.1.0.0.dylib and libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib in /opt/local/lib, which is a macports directory.

Easy workaround for the OSX version until openssl is fixed

Open the Terminal.app application. You find it under Applications -> Utilities

This assumes that you got Anoncoin-Qt.app installed in your Applications folder.

Then type the following commands:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib  /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

Note: You will be asked for your mac account password to do administrative operations.. sudo = "Super user(Administrator) do"

The first command will create the folder, the two next will make a "shortcut/link" to the libraries inside Anoncoin-Qt.app.

I removed my /opt/local/lib/ folder temporary, then I did the commands above and Anoncoin opens.

Other news

I plan release new binaries tomorrow. Probably for all Operating Systems. Including Linux (i386/x64)

I hope the Mac OS X version is fixed by then, if not, the workaround above should fix it without any need of extra installation of applications etc. And should take no disk space at all. Sorry for this problem. If the next build won't fix it, we'll continue until it works Smiley

to do this does mac ports need to be installed? because im still getting

Try:

Hi. I tried these but I'm still unable to run the mac client, same error

Hi, I've been battling this issue myself using Mac OS X 10.8.x. There does not seem to be any perfect solution but could you try this one? I believe this is what solved it on my install.

Code:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo cp /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/* /usr/lib/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/ /opt/local/lib/

but then Anoncoin opened!
Hopefully it is able to download the full block chain


Actually now nothing else will open except Anoncoin.

everything crashes and gives me the error:

Sorry, my bad. I didn't notice other apps crashing until you informed of this issue. I experience the same behavior. Here's a quick fix for you. It will restore the overwritten libz files for 10.8.4. I just checked that the crashing apps, and anoncoin wallet works as they should after restoring these files.

Other news,

Patched the master-0.8 with some bitcoin patches
* Made RPC password resistant to timing attacks, CVE-2013-4165. Thanks to Gavin.
* Fixed a issue so the client now only create signatures with even S, and verification mode to check. Thanks to Sipa.
