Due to unstable behaviour of new version 0.4.0 (time to time lack synchronization happening), we strictly recommend return EmerCoin wallet to version 0.3.2, which is stable. Please, backup wallet.dat before update, and delete whole blockchain 0.4.0.
Code:
emercoind getinfo
{
    "version" : "v0.2.4emc-9-ga88cb63-beta",
    "protocolversion" : 60003,
...
this one is still supported? works fine for me. would be good if you send out an alert or notificate ppl in case of a hardfork.
just wondering, as its working as expected.

One thing, though. I'm not into how things are working and I do not use the dedicated anoncoin wallet client either, but all my ANC are stored in Cryptsy. This question has probably been asked a few times, but I'm still wondering what do you think of the situation at Cryptsy? When could one expect them to remove the "Wallet under maintenance" symbol and what would yet be needed from the ANC community? There has not been much pushes to github lately either, so I just wonder what's the current situation. I have seen a few goals at the Anoncoin wiki, but frankly, I have no clue what they mean.
They could fix the issues instant IF they would use I2P and not only clearnet. which they obviously refuse to.
In this case they have to wait for a new release.
Well, my guess is that cryptsy is in US, I2P should allow anonymity, but, if they (cryptsy) don't want to be put down (legal with current development on regulations), they cannot allow that, or they may, but then, they will risk problems in future.
Yeah, sure...

Ok, assuming the worst is that Cryptsy has to wait for a new release, how long will the wait be? Are there any major impediments on the way, that may hinder a new release altogether?
We dont give any ETAs anymore.
Once it comes close to a release, we will post a update message. Once the release is out, we also contact exchanges which we know had problems.

Hey guys. Have you heard about Synereo?

We're building a fully decentralized social networking platform. We have a distributed tech stack that's been in development for over four years.

Come check it out. Crowdsale starts tomorrow for our token, which has an inherent value in the network.

eww. asocial "token" network?!

2) you misunderstood something. the plan/talk is to use multiple algos for PoW (mining). Transactions are NEVER encrypted as bitcoin and its alternatives use a public ledger.


Just to clarify.

When a person uses a coin, the transaction process is encrypted and the ledger is public.

When doubts exist as to the integrity of the development process and quality of cryptography used in a transaction, a coin is worthless. Those doubts do exist with anc. In other words anc has reached a point where it either must use a trusted algorithm or it has no real value.

In practical terms it means the algorithm should be something like bitcoin, litecoin, etc, and not something like zerocoin, cryptonote etc.

Offering people the option of which algorithm to use is a solution that settles all sides. For example if a person can choose between zerocoin, litecoin, cryptonote etc then the coin can survive. How this would be done I don't know. But as it stands now if you are going to offer a mixture of algorithms, under the guise of protecting against attacks, but the user has no control over the mix, then you are offering nothing.

Everything about anc now resembles a corporate mindset. It is nothing like it was in the beginning. Now iis sort of like a cross between Ripple and Mexican Pesos. I think it is finished unless big changes happen.
Again, transactions are not encrypted. You are talking about the kind of transaction. There isnt a "bitcoin algorithm" nor similiar. Please read more about transactions: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction
If ANC will support ZeroCoin (ZC), then of course you can use either ZC or the old bitcoin style transactions. there is no difference in bitcoin/litecoin transactions for example.
As i said before, the "mixture of algorithms" are for mining (Proof of Work) and not for creating/signing transactions.

230  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: March 18, 2015, 01:33:42 PM
It's a mostly-random process, so that can happen.  In addition there's collisions on address space, though in this case it looks like it ended up with the same private key as well.
Not in any practical sense.

If something was broken that did do that on his system, both execution traces would be the same.

In this case the posts just clearly appeared to be an excuse to encourage people to run backdoored private key generating code (which I've removed from the thread).
i've edited my post accordingly by just removing everything aside the headline.
231  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: March 18, 2015, 10:55:49 AM
vanitygen problem it generate same address again
It's a mostly-random process, so that can happen.  In addition there's collisions on address space, though in this case it looks like it ended up with the same private key as well.

Could you share the command line you had used for those two runs?

I don't know off hand what the statistical odds are of that happening with vanitygen, but they should be very, very slim to the point that I'd wonder if somehow the RNG's entropy pool was weak (essentially what K1773R said while I wrote this)...but then it should be happening more often.   ( You can provide another source of entropy for the seed based on a file )

So, either something weird's going on, or you hit a one-in-a-largenumberhere fluke Smiley
If he has a bad PRNG implementation inside OpenSSL then using a different entropy source to seed the PRNG wont fix the problem.
232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history) on: March 18, 2015, 10:51:32 AM
Some suggestions for anc. The coin is basically going to be dead in the water when Cryptos start rising unless a few simple steps are taken.

1) Acknowledge the drama in anc's history and use it to anc's advantage. Governments are heavily meddling in cryptocurrencies for aml and other reasons. Nobody doesn't know that. Put a statement to that effect somewhere obvious, acknowledge anc may have been victimized by govt wanksters, and move on tofull transparency.
Example of what the statement could say.
"It is widely known that cryptos challenge govt control of personal money and that numerous govts have invested heavily in cryptomeddling. Governments do not meddle in finance for good reasons. Very little data collected by the nsa and similar groups is used for legitimate domestic purposes. The only authorities that have unfettered access to this type of data are police agencies in client states like Bahrain, Egypt and Nigeria. If you cooperate with the agenda of controlling currency you are helping crush democracies in numerous places.

Anc may have been fiddlefucked to some degree by the nsa and similar groups, as have many coins. Henceforth all developmental work on anc will be done in plain sight with no bullshit."

2) To further the goal of trustable transparency, anc should offer a choice of algorithms, not a mix of algorithyms. There should be several algorythms available as modules in the wallet, and a person chooses which one they would like to use. As I understand the new version a person mixes algos, and that makes little sense. A modular wallet with severasl algorithm modules would let a person encrypt the trasaction with their choice of algo. Obviously this provides another level of complexity, another opportunity for the syphillus breath antiliberty bureaucrats to meddle, so people have to examine the code etc carefully.

3) Another option is simply switching back to a basic trusted code like bitcoin or litecoin.

4) As has been said before, anc really has nothing except its brand. There has been some question in the past about which "brand" anc represents. Is it anonymous transactions? The anonymous collective? Something else? Anonymous coins are aa dime a dozen at this point. If anc wants to stay aslive it has to actually represent something that people will support. So my suggestion is go full bore in support of the anonymous collective. Combined with the acknowledgement that anc has been raped and brutalized by govt shills, this could lead to a strong long term net gain in the image of the coin.

If nothing is done, anc is finished. If the half hearted lame steps that have been suggested in recent posts are done, also the coin slowly fizzles and dies. Coins require legitimate steps to stay ahead, not half assed shit steps.
1) im no marketing guy, so cant say anything about that.
2) you misunderstood something. the plan/talk is to use multiple algos for PoW (mining). Transactions are NEVER encrypted as bitcoin and its alternatives use a public ledger.
3) we didnt change anything related to privkeys (your BTC/ANC key), hence its the same as upstream (bitcoin).
4) ANC has one big strength that other coins dont have; I2P. With clearnet, a person can be located by watching the network in realtime. This is not the case with ANC in case you use I2P only.

If you want to help, just get in touch with us in #anoncoin on either irc2p (prefered) or freenode.
233  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: March 18, 2015, 10:40:50 AM
vanitygen problem it generate same address again
... removed crap ...
in this case, you have a serious problem.
either your PRNG implementation in OpenSSL is broken or your system RNG entroy sources is borked.
of course, both can be the case and are not mutually exclusive.

even worse, this is a good sign that very likely all of the crypto modules your software/OS uses will be weak! its not only vanitygen who is affected by this.

Could you setup a I2P or worse TOR access?
IPv4 is not anonym.
SSL + CA is not secure.
This isnt something complicated nor does it cost anything. If you need help feel free to ask.

"Anonymity, Secure". Lets see if your serious about it Wink

Hello

Right now we blocked user registrations from TOR. The reason was the abuse of our referral program.
TOR schould be fully supported in few days, but with some restrictions:
- no CP points for user account registration
- no CP points for referrer

I2P - Very interesting subject!
We promise that, something will move in the topic of I2P within a month.
A TOR HS (Hidden Service) or an I2P Service eliminates trust for SSL CA (they can still be used, for I2P its not neccessary at all) and also solves the anonymity problem (TOR has its problem tough).

Those are all different things, what you're saying doesn't make any sense. IPv4/6 is fundamental for the Internet, network tunneling protocols like l2tp are based on it. Anonymizing your IP via VPN is your concern and how is SSL not secure?
before you complain, you should have reread my post. i never said anything of l2tp!
VPN is not provable anonymity, alot of ppl think it is. just because you relay traffic to a other server and encrypt it, dosnt mean your anonym.
if you arent aware of the SSL CA (especially CA) madness, you should look at it...

Wait, did I miss somewhere fact, that Forrestv abandoned project?

No, I don't believe he has.

This is an attempt to create an incentive for someone to come up with a solution to the scalability issues.

Perhaps if the pot got big enough Forrest would focus back on P2Pool, and I for one would be ecstatic if he figured it out and claimed the bounty.

I don't fault him at all for not being active, he is young and has other interests, P2Pool has represented an enormous contribution and I am grateful for all his work.

Since virtually no one I'm aware of pays the donation this could be an opportunity to create an incentive that gets work moving again.

We still need to define the criteria for success very clearly before we can start thinking about setting up a pot though...
ah, really?

Thanks for doing this!

Can someone work with Mullick to test the new wallet before the next release? It would be nice to have ANC trading at Cryptsy again right away once the new wallet is out.

I was going to beta test it on Xubuntu 14.04x64 but get the following error after
Code:
./configure

Code:
checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

Will I have to change to Berkeley DB 4.8 to use the new wallet.  As I'm not sure if some of my other wallets would like that?  Or will the new Linux binaries be ok like the current ANC wallet I have works.  Although I think I currently use the i2p repo.  Will that be updated with the new wallet timely.
you should always use 4.8, otherwise you will have serious issues (if not already, then in the future).
if you use the i2p (kytv?)s repo for anoncoin, ask him what libdb++ he uses or check it yourself.
