don't believe that, meeh just talks a lot... Google translation..... It should work fine as far as I know. Has been "offline" in recent months, but should take a look at the project next week.  I have not spoken to Meeh so have no further comment at this time. Maybe, but this is definitively a positive thing. He is alive and seems to be positive about the project anyways. He could have stated that he does not want to be affiliated with Anoncoin anymore too, but he didn't. I think he moved from Norway to Cebu ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebu ) and it probably takes some time to settle down. May be that he eventually returns to the project when life over there gets boring  . We have seen coin projects where this has happened before... a developer with respect suddenly returns or takes over a "dead" coin and the value of the coin multi-ten-folds. Just my thoughts Just to be clear: Anoncoin is not a dead coin. We have a new lead developer, GroundRod, who has brought the code up to bitcoin 0.10 standards, and who has added many new features, such as a innovative PID difficulty retargeting algorithm (see https://wiki.anoncoin.net/Development_schedule). You can download/build the the develop branch on github to see for yourself. We are currently testing the PID algorithm on internal testnets. But to get back to your original comment: Meeh has not given up on Anoncoin, but even if he did, the project would live on without him. |

Hi, I'm trying to compile the develop-themes on debian testing (stretch), and I have some errors related to sse2 as much as I can tell. I did 2 or 3 hours of research, no luck, so I'm turning to you because I can't acces IRC for the moment what I did:After succesfully running autogen.sh and configure, make stops and gives these particular errors (I'm giving interestings chunks of logs only): CXX libanoncoin_common_a-scrypt-sse2.o

I remember reading that the devs were considering implementing the Primecoin hashing algo as one of the auxPoW hashing algo's in a myriad of chains. Why not implement the Riecoin algo instead or as well of as one of the three chains minimum that are needed to run a myriad properly. How is Riecoin different from Primecoin?
Primecoin uses the Fermat primality test, which has some flaws. Carmichael numbers are not prime and still pass Fermat's test for all bases, however those are relatively rare. Secondly, in general, if Fermat's test says a number is prime, it has at least a 50% probability of being prime. Primecoin uses only one Fermat test with base 2. While base 2 may provide more confidence than the general bound of 50%, still many composites will pass as primes. What's worst, is that Euler-Lagrange-Lifchitz test used for the other primes in the chain assumes the previous number in the chain is prime. So if the chain starts with a number that is not prime, then the Euler-Lagrange-Lifchitz test is not guaranteed to work, and all numbers in the chain may be composite.
Short version: Primecoin numbers are not guarranteed to be prime, they may be Fermat pseudoprimes to the base 2. There is an infinite list of Fermat pseudoprimes to the base 2 (oeis.org/A001567). Riecoin uses enough Rabin-Miller tests with random bases, so the probability of a number that is not prime being accepted by the majority of the Riecoin network is negligible.
We propose the n/s "range explored (numbers) per second" metric instead of pps (primes per second) or shorter-chains per second. This is the quantity of numbers tested (whether by sieve of explicit primality test) and discarded as not constituting a valid PoW per second. While it is still difficult to compare this number for different difficulties, it is a much better metric: it can be used to meaningfully compare different algorithms, hardware speed, etc as long as you have the same diff. More n/s always means more blocks. For example a mining rig would be advertised as having X n/s@minimum diff. Something similar like "multipliers per second" might be possible for Primecoin, but it wouldn't scale as well when difficulty grows. In Primecoin, PPS is "just for fun" and shorter chains per second may not be accurate to compare the performance of algorithms for full-length chains per second.
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjectures are true, by using Hardy-Littlewood constants a miner can estimate the average time before a block is found, allowing profit calculations and to estimate the computing power of the network.
In Primecoin there is no practical way of estimating the time before finding a block, moreover difficulty 10.1 is easier than 9.9 making it impossible to estimate how secure the network is.
A centralized checkpoint system is implemented inside Primecoin. While it is disabled by default, if FUD about attacks start to spread, I believe some people will panic and enable it. A centralized checkpoint allows its controllers to perform double spends without any need for any % of hash rate. Can we be sure it will not be hacked and/or abused?
Riecoin is capped to a fixed amount of coins (84M), but Primecoin has no limit. While it is arguable, we believe our deflationary model - similar to Bitcoin's - is better.
1min block speed would bloat the blockchain and create more orphans, stales. We have 2.5min which was tested for years in LTC. I don't know of any 1min coin that has years of testing. I think it's not true that 1min is fast enough for waiting in a line when you buy a coffee: with blocks targeted each minute, you have a 1 in 150 chance of having to wait more than 5 minutes for a block, this would still be unacceptable for some coffee stores. Also, with 2.5 each block requires more work, meaning we will have larger prime numbers sooner. This sounds interesting... Our first objective is to get the 0.9.6 major release out that we've been working on the past 6 months or so. As you can see on the dev schedule, we have pretty much finished all the coding and we are working out some of the last bugs on a testnet. After this is released, implementing 2+ POW chains is the next objective. We will probably start with 2 (scrypt, sha-256), but a third would be nice. We are also talking about merged mining on some of these chains. In any case, we are hoping that our new PID-based difficulty retarget algorithm will reduce (but not eliminate) much of the need for these developments. Let's discuss this more after the next release... |

When is the next Anoncoin block reduction and how often do they occur. Also when will 90% of the coins be distributed and then 99%. I couldn't seem to find this info on the Anoncoin wiki. All the wiki says is the following - What is the current block reward, and when will it halve?
The current block reward is 2.5 ANC. This is expected to halve to 2.5 ANC around November 2016. If someone can give me a good explanation I'll try and add to the wiki. Hi Matthew, Here's the info, which was somewhat burried in the About Anoncoin wiki page Anoncoin was originally a fork of the Litecoin source code. The creation of new coins is by the reward to miners for processing transactions into blocks that are added to the block chain, where mining is performed by proof of work using the scrypt hashing function. A total of 3.1 million coins can be mined into existence, which is 7 times less than the maximum supply of Bitcoin, and transactions are processed, on average, every 3 minutes. The current block reward is 2.5 ANC, and this will be halved to 1.25 on approximately October 23, 2016. The block reward distribution schedule is the following: 4.2 ANC for blocks until 42,000; 7 ANC until block 77,777; a 10 ANC bonus block for 77778; 5 ANC until block 306,600; and then halving of block rewards every 306,600 blocks (which is approximately every one year and nine months or 638 days). There were 4200 ANC premined by the developers, but these coins were returned to the community through the faucet and by give-aways. If you could make a plot, or just clean up and add the relevant info, that would be great. I don't have much free time these days to work on this  If you need an account, just let me know. |

My clearnet wallet has not been updating for the last 3 days and has been displaying the following:
Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.
What to do?
P.S I am a noob ....... so please go slow while explaining......
Thanks in advance...
you said it yourself, your only using clearnet! use I2P. windows build are old and lack the DNSSeed. Thank you for your response. You can also run Anoncoin through Tor. This will allow you to connect to additional Tor hidden servers that are not accessible from a normal clearnet connection. Instructions on how to do so can be found here: https://wiki.anoncoin.net/How_to_setup_Anoncoin_to_use_Tor |

For those of you who use Anoncoin with I2PIn our new client v0.9.6.1 (which is now being tested on our testnet), we have made some changes to how I2P peers are treated. In particular, your I2P address will only be advertised to others if you are using a static I2P address. Dynamic I2P addresses will still work fine, but they will not be shared across the anoncoin network, as they become obsolete as soon as you shut down your client. So... if you use Anoncoin with I2P, can you please choose to use a static I2P address, as opposed to a dynamic one? This will help strengthen the network. With our old v0.8 clients, you just need to put in your anoncoin.conf file. For our newer developer builds, you can find instructions on what to do here: https://wiki.anoncoin.net/Sample_anoncoin.conf

It's a random walk ...
There is no system behind it, as seen the past week.
random walk theory is a fantasy, price movement follow certain rules of supply and demand. if it was random walk one day price for an asset would be a million dollars, next day zero and on day three a trillion it could be any price at any moment in time. But this is not the case. Just look at price chart and you will see more or less repetative patterns. The more liquid market the more pronounced is this phenomenon generally. If you want to explain random walk theory then explain it right. It's not entirely true that random walk means "one day price for an asset would be one million dollars, next day zero" Random walk is much more than that. We people want to believe that there is a pattern for prices, even in this sucky Alternative-Coin-Market. You can explain a price rise and you can explain a falling price... but it's just an explanation you believe is correct. |

Contest for the best Anoncoin Qt wallet themesThe Anoncoin Qt wallet now has the capability to choose among several different themes that change the look and feel of the wallet. We have created three test themes to demonstrate how this works, and here we are announcing a contest for the best three community-contributed themes that we will bundle with our next release. Given the history of anoncoin, we are specifically interested in the following three themes: 1. Anoncoin - A theme that is based on the retro minimal branding as found on our current web site. 2. Anonymous - A theme that exemplifies the ideals of the group Anonymous. 3. I2P - A theme that is based on the branding of the I2P network. For each theme that we select, we will pay a bounty of 100 ANC (or more, if we receive more contributions to our donation address). Honorable mentions that are not selected will be posted for download on our web site. In order to use themes, you will need to either compile the "develop-themes" branch on github, or download one of the developer builds from our web site (at this point, only OSX and win64 developer builds are available). Next, you will need to copy the themes folder (found in share/qt) to your Anoncoin data directory. To create your own theme, simply create a new folder in the themes folder, and create a style.qss file that is based on one of the examples. To select the theme, go to Preferences > Display, choose the theme from the drop down menu, and click OK. If you would like to see more bounties likes this, please donate to the Anoncoin donation address.

Anoncoin now has themes for the Qt walletThanks to Ulfie, Anoncoin now supports user defined themes for the Qt wallet. Here are a few examples, just to demonstrate that it really works: ExamplesTo experiment with themes, follow these instructions: 1. Download and compile the develop-themes branch on Github. Then copy the folder share/qt/themes to your anoncoin data directory. Alternatively, download the OSX developer build here, unzip, and then copy the themes folder to "~/Library/Application\ Support/Anoncoin/". Please note that the branch develop-themes will be merged with develop after the next round of commits by GroundRod. 2. Go to Preferences > Display, and choose a theme from the drop down menu. Click OK at the bottom of the screen. 3. To create your own themes, simply create a new folder in the themes folder, and create a style.qss file that is based on one of the examples. That's it! A contest for the best community contributed themes will soon follow...

you should ask them, not us  Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it? If your transaction is on the blockchain, and there is still a problem, please contact coinmine. |

It would be nice to see ANC acceptance through coinpayments.net
Has anyone made the suggestion to them?
We used to be accepted there, but at some point they removed us (without letting us know). I presume that the decision was based on cryptsy deactivating ANC withdrawals from their site. As soon as we get the new release out, I will contact them and see if they could add us again. In any case, you should pressure them as well. |

I recognize that a hard deadline is unwanted due to issues with price speculation; however can we get some sort of a deadline anyway? Just wondering :/ I feel like I'm supposed to believe in the tooth fairy and I'm just getting older... Hi Dragon, Good to see you. ANC is still the best! Come back!  If you look at the peers connected to your anoncoin client, you should see someone running version 0.9.5. We are doing some internal testing of this version before uploading it to github. Oh, nice. The next upload to github will cause lots of buying, I guess. Someone will get a bit richer too. Thanks for your effert lunokhod. I'm a web + backend-developer, is there something I could help you with? We are looking for someone to redesign/rebrand the GUI wallet. N00n has already given us some graphic design ideas, but we need someone to modify the Qt portion of the code. If this is something you can do, I can point you to a few relevant files in the code where things like colors and fonts are defined. |

Is Gnosis still working on the Zerocoin implementation if not who is if anyone. Also if it is going to take a long while to successfully implement the AuxPoW myriad fork. Then to vastly improve the security of the Anoncoin network. Wouldn't it make sense to implement just Scrypt AuxPoW only for now. Which I gather wouldn't be as difficulty to implement technically. And would greatly improve the security of the Anoncoin network for the meanwhile. Plus would help to stop the dramatic increases and drops in Anoncoin network hashrate.
Hi Matthewh, We've decided to stay with scrypt only for the next release with an updated difficulty algorithm (this has been updated on the development schedule). There will be numerous security enhancements in the next version, and though we are still concerned with the low hash rate of the network (two-chain myriad will be implemented in the release that follows), we think that our improvements will solve most of our current problems. As for zerocoin, our main developer at this point is Groundrod. After rewriting large portions of the Anoncoin code, bringing us nearly up to bitcoin 0.10, and fixing some important bugs along the way, everything is now working and he is cleaning up the code. This is not yet on github but will be "soon". Following our next release, Groundrod has expressed interest in working on zerocoin as well, so we are hoping that he will make quicker progress on this than gnosis has. Also, after our coming release, we will have a big push to increase the number of active anoncoin developers. As you might have noticed, one problem of an anonymous coin with anonymous developers participating on a volunteer basis is that the number of active developers we have at any moment fluctuates in time. We would like to ensure that there are at least two active developers at any given time to guard against problems that might arise when one is overwhelmed with real world commitments. More details on this will follow after our next release. |

really don't understand what happens with the value of this coin, it is a scarce coin with a good dev team but price is falling and falling.....
perhaps Dash and shadowcash competence?
I tell you why this Coin is so down. 1. There is no information on whether it is worked on the code by GroundRod or not - there are no public entrys in the github since 2 months from him. 2. The RSO stuff - I don't want to call it "bulls****" but the era of "Zerocoin" into Anoncoin is over, don't have any hopes for that. 3. Since there is no new stable windows version, the work done so far is NOT being seen by most normal users. Believe me, the price will deteriorate more and more. Until a new release comes out... then it's gonna be pumped by Kozi because he wants to sell at a higher price.. then it's dumping time again. Altcoinmarkets are a big hoax. One day or the other, there will be a nice way to change the bitcoincode and make these transactions more secure. Most of us missed the Bitcointrain - there won't be another train coming for a long time. 1. The last public commit of Groundrod was February 16, which is less than two months ago. If you would join us on the irc forum (in particular the developer forum), you would see that we have been devoting our time to fixing i2p connectivity issues. 2. They are called RSA UFOs. If you read the papers and do the research, you will see that the technology is not bullshit. Whether we actually implement this or not is a different question all together. 3. The develop branch compiles fine for Windows, Linux and OSX. In fact, GR uses windows himself. Yes, we realize that everyone is waiting for the next release. |

Obvious, I may misread Cryptoslaves posting. To me it sounded like the node communications changes are so big, that they alone also need a/would be a hardfork.
Relaunch because it looks to me (from this thread), that the distribution is so bad, that it hinders adoption/community growth. Judging from (the activity in) this thread, there cant be more then 15 people that hold significant amounts of ANC and want to develope an vivid ANC ecosystem.
So, relaunch the same coin with a new logo, along with promises we can't keep? Maybe you weren't paying attention, but over the past year several such coins were released! One last (serious) comment concerning the ANC ecosystem. It used to be that my anoncoin client would only connect to a couple of i2p peers, but for the past month or so I have consistently been connecting to the maximum number: 12. So, someone is using Anoncoin. Fortunately, since i2p is anonymous, I don't know who. |
