Are there any problems now or in the future we can already anticipate, like Bitcoin wiki's Weaknesses: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses ?
I would love to learn more about it.

Finally , the design is back with few improvements at http://ancblockchain.com/chain/Anoncoin
Now the most important part is to get the addresses and hashes correct.  Grin

Strangely ANCblockchain's adresses all start by KXWc9osG and not by A...

Also few days ago it was more like blockchain.info, now it is like ABE

Would be nice to go back to the blockchain.info style and with correct ANC address IMHO Cheesy


Lol, you're right.

geekz: can you set the prefix to 23? (I will contact him in other ways too)

What do you mean by prefix 23? Can you please help me with that?
"address" version, see base58.h this makes the addresses show up correct

No I can not find a version of stratum that works with this rolled back wallet Sad
Still digging, they all crash the wallet.

Try https://github.com/Anoncoin/stratum-server .. I've never had problem with that Smiley

Anoncoin is now available in PPA and Debian repository!

PPA (Ubuntu only):
https://launchpad.net/~anoncoin/+archive/anoncoin

Anoncoin has also been added to the I2P Debian/Ubuntu repository, URLs for your release could be found here
http://deb.i2p2.no/

Many thanks to KillYourTV from the I2P team for this!

Also, Gnosis has spoken more about the Zerocoin implementation:
https://pay.reddit.com/r/ZeroCoin/comments/1zxw8z/more_details_about_zerocoininanoncoin/

Cool, I think you should list the PPA and repository in the OP along with the Windows binaries link.  As I just spent hours messing around with QT-creator unsuccessfully until I found this post.

Excellent interview. I'm not technical, and this is exactly the kind of explanation that makes sense to me.

Can someone explain for the non-programmers/non-cryptographers what is the difference between Anoncoin and Darkcoin, please?

Darkcoin plans to use "CoinJoin": https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinjoin-bitcoin-privacy-for-the-real-world-279249

Anoncoin plans to use Zerocoin: http://zerocoin.org/

I'm not sure on which is more anonymous.. I think we should start a debate thread perhaps. Smiley

CoinJoin has questionable anonymity compared to Zerocoin.  The reason is that with CoinJoin, two or more users must somehow partner up and forge a transaction together.  They communicate over a secure channel to do this.  The coins are only mixed among these "partners."  Picking partners you can trust is a significant obstacle: how can you know that your partners will "forget" the mixing that happened?  One may try to repeat this 10 times with randomly chosen partners, but how can you know that your partners are not all just sock puppets of one malicious entity (on an anonymous network, it is trivial to create as many fake users as you want[1])?  If that is the case, then your efforts are in vain.

Compare this with Zerocoin, where you put your coins in an accumulator, and they are mixed with the coins of all users who have put coins into that accumulator, since the beginning of Zerocoin.  There would be a different accumulator for different denominations of Anoncoins (1, 5, 10, 50 ANC, etc.).

To put it simply, the more users' coins your coins are mixed with, the more anonymity you have.

I cannot speak to Darkcoin's implementation (or planned implementation) of CoinJoin since I cannot seem to find any specs or code on their Github or their site.  If anyone knows, please point me to them.

So, just to be clear.... Anoncoin is going to go forward with protocols to protect privacy rather than create another digital coin to do so, right?

Yes we will not create a new coin, but implement in current.
