Looking at the locked thread. Another Vert made by one of the original Vert devs?

Vert already has private transaction capabilities. Why not expand on that instead of new coin?

Would be nice for Poramin to at least confirm that this is (or is not) his project, with his account here or at reddit or something.

Damn it looks like an interesting idea right up until you said alocation/premine of 168k for a foundation.. Sad Satoshi also solved trust with bitcoin. You're introducing it again with a premine

BTW how do you intend to solve the trust issue with zerocoin, the initial parameters?

Im just going to go out on a limb and say this is a fake proposal until proven otherwise. I'm guessing you don't really have zero knowledge implemented let alone it being the "Worlds First"(stated on your twitter) I'm already sending 99.9% zk transaction on a testnet right now and its not vert anything.

Can you be a little more clear on how this came to be and how far you guys are along. I would love for you to change and remove the premine. I think thats an unnecessary hindrance!

Just to be clear are we saying this is going live with zk on 5th?

Yes, we will release the coin with ZK on 5th.

Awesome, looking forward to it and seeing how you have addressed the various ZK technical challenges.

Yes, we will release the coin with ZK on 5th.

So that's a "no" on the source code being released tomorrow then?

I'm going to request you make an unmoderated thread.  In light of the blocknet scam ALL non scamcoins should have an unmoderated ann thread imo

What is Zerovert?

Bitcoin is often perceived as an anonymous payment network. But in reality, Bitcoin is probably the most transparent payment network in the world. Bitcoin works with an unprecedented level of transparency that most people are not used to dealing with. All Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network.

When Satoshi created Bitcoin, he or she solved the double spending problem by broadcasting all transactions on a permanent public ledger. A byproduct of having all transactions placed on a public ledger is that privacy is sacrificed.

Notable studies have shown that the same techniques used to analyze social network topology can be used to analyze Bitcoin's network topology. Anyone can use the public ledger to break privacy, including powerful corporations and institutions such as the NSA. The powers of large corporations and Big Brother have increased dramatically, and it is time to fight for your right to privacy.

Zerovert (ZER) completely solves the privacy problem of Bitcoin and all preceding cryptocurrencies. It is the first cryptocurrency to implement the Zerocoin protocol, guaranteeing complete anonymity through zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs.


Why Zerovert?

Bitcoin and preceding alternative cryptocurrencies have attempted to solve this problem through the use of transaction mixers or ring signatures. However, there are a number of drawbacks to these proposed solutions. For one, a malicious or compromised member of a mixer or ring signature could break privacy. Furthermore, the anonymity set is a key metric to understanding how private a cryptocurrency is. The anonymity set in formerly proposed solutions is limited by the size of the mixing cycle or ring signature. Each mixing cycle or ring signature is limited by the number of transactions per cycle, which is transitively limited by the the block size of the cryptocurrency. Thus, the anonymity set in previous attempts at privacy tends to only be a few hundred transactions.

With Zerovert, the anonymity set is set to a dramatically higher magnitude. Instead of having an anonymity set limited in the few hundreds, Zerovert has an anonymity set that encompasses all "minted coins" in the Zerovert system. The magnitude of the anonymity set is on the order of millions, rather than hundreds - it makes all previous alternative cryptocurrencies aimed at privacy obsolete.


Team

The Zerovert team is dedicated to offering you the new gold standard in cryptocurrency privacy.

The founding team includes:
Poramin, who was also the designer and lead developer of Vertcoin - one of the top 5 most valuable cryptocurrencies by market-cap this February.

Gary, who invented the world's first cryptographic protocol to conduct Bitcoin-denominated peer-to-peer atomic cross chain option contracts for alternative cryptocurrencies.
