Topic: Official Anoncoin Information, FAQ & Description thread. I2P/Tor explained [Mod] - page 8. (Read 44443 times)

Not sure what is going on but it looks like Anoncoin has forked twice in 2 days on www.miningpool.co

Yesterday I downloaded and compiled new source and the client seemed to be on the same chain as the only working block explorer: https://anoncoin.net/exp/index.php

Checked back today and it appears we are now on a different chain again 

Pool is on block 87084 block explorer is showing current block at 87068??

Any idea why this keeps happening?

If i had the designer skills I would so be on that! but atlas I am lame and hope someone has the time and skills to spiff up the Qt just a bit   Bottlecaps just changed the icons on the new wallet update and even though its just a few small things it makes for a much cleaner look imo.

If any developer/designer would like to help out with the project feel free to join us at #anoncoin @ irc.freenode.net for a chat. (or inside I2P-IRC, samme channel name.)  

Some great questions where asked and answered, so I paste them here:


You can't make USD "anon" in that matter other than meeting on the street exchanging physical money.


I2P is Java, so we can't just build it into the wallet. All of the devs have dayjobs and the I2P project itself is, well, I'm bad at estimates but at fulltime work each day except weekends, maybe it's doable within May 2014. I2P is also in constant change, so it will require a lot of resources to maintain it. There exists a C++ project for I2P but it is always behind trunk (java, current version).

However the Android client can we integrate the I2P router in, and that's the plan too. But we still have some issues we need to solve with the original client before jumping on another completely new project.


Why don't I2P-Bote? or some other already build in I2P?


Most likely no one have done it yet, is because of it's darknet.. Even with, or without a clear TOS, your hosting service will be abused to things like Child porn etc.. There is few people supporting stuff like CP, nor want to host a service that can be abused to this.

I can say that someone is working on a solution like that. But they are now stuck with the problem you read above. They do not want to host any child porn. I guess you saw what happened to the guy behind Freedom hosting from the Tor network.


Under heavy development. Actually the time of me writing this is delaying the time the service will be launched on since I help out with some of the code.

Also, since coincloud.no support sync via Tor/I2P, you can see this as a type of darknet service too. But it's clear where it is, and does not hide like other services.


There are talk about email hosting. But we might not want to store that in the cloud. E.g make it more safe.. Like a hidden I2P server somewhere in the world


Great, someone from the community or our PR guy should look into that. I'm just developing.


People are free to set up any service they would like to our coin. We, as the developers of Anoncoin is not responsible to force services up for the coin. Just like the Central bank of US are not responsible to force use of USD in businesses, even trough it does We're also humans, which means it's a limit to the number of projects we can do at once.

Well, it's a easy task. The reason this is not done is because I lack time to do it. Nor am I an designer. But if a designer would join the Anoncoin team I wouldn't mind, actually it would be great.

Anoncoin, like all other coins with GUI is based on Qt. Qt support themes. And from the little I've read about it in newer time, it seems like they use CSS/JavaScript like stuff to do this. E.g simple, but still, I need to do the more advanced stuff in the coin and services around it.


Ref Qt styling:

The desktop environment KDE, based on Qt have done this since I started with Qt for about 6-7 years ago I think.
See http://kde-look.org/

(However, I think they does it in another way)

+1 for a wallet makeover. I'd love a skinable client with custom themes... hey, you can dream right?

Yes as said earlier we got some bad nodes out there. And it's just luck to not hit them. I'm trying to map them up to make sure they get banned.


*Forwarding to Brotroxer*

Actually have been using those nodes from the other thread but never finished syncing. I just deleted everything except my wallet.dat and ran the installer pkg without an config file. It is now fully synced? So do we not need a config after all? nonetheless its working! but confused on how..lol



 I am guessing if they haven't updated from the first client the miner is probably buried in a room full of a hundred others in the middle of the desert to be looked at again one year from now..just a guess

On another note i would add in the main post and your site how to update your wallet if you already have one as i see no info on that anywhere and probably would be good piece of info to have. Maybe a mailing list on your front page would be a easy way to keep the Anoncommunity all on the same page with updated news/wallets,etc..

and one more suggestion..plleeeeaaase!! can we get rid of the grey scale wallet look at some point in a future update even if it just has some black borders or something very simple to give it a little bit of a spiffier look. With how beautiful the Anoncoin.net site looks I am sure your team can put together something classy its the small things..p.s Thanks again!!!

In a way it's good, because then slow people get the chance to upgrade.. I see nodes still with the first client I released ffs

But hopefully it would not take that long. I guess we find a way to make it more profitable for the miners to mine. E.g block reward @ pools. Will get back to this later. 

so ummm...it looks that we have a looong ways to go until we hit block 87777 especially with the network dropping quite quickly :/ can anything be done about this as I dont see us hitting that block for weeks at this rate..eeps!

Launched block search!

voted and looks to be we are in 3rd place! keep em coming

Remember to upgrade your wallets! Also, vote for Anoncoin  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multi-cryptocoin-payment-processing-coin-list-vote-2-309935

Thanks for the info! 

Vote for ANC: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multi-cryptocoin-payment-processing-coin-list-vote-2-309935

Thanks

That's a good idea, but we should wait a bit longer so more people get the chance to upgrade first 

All is syncing now! Thanks I think what did it was i deleting all the other goods in the roaming folder except for chainstate. Deleted that and put in new add nodes and syncing up as i type.

Btw anychance anc.usr.io pool or anyone else wants to do a block reward to help push us past this 87777? Just a thought as that worked pretty nice last time ;-)  Nonetheless great stuff anonteam! only coin i mine now besides LTC..mostly everything else IMO is just garbage

Could you check your debug.log for any errors?

anyone have a good list of updated notes for the config file? I do not seem to be able to connect to the network at this time

The build was built with "-static-libgcc" which eliminates the need of libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll. Do you have a issue with that on the newest version?

That might be correct. I'll check it out.
