When the hardfork kicks in tomorrow, to mine using X11 you need to specify algo=x11 in the conf.
To mine using blake, you need to specify algo=blake or algo=blake256 in the conf.
Is it possible to integrate anonymity of transaction in the coin, It will be great to have that and will get lot of attention. As I can see you have knowledge about software and technicalities unlike most other devs , so I think may be you can do it.
We had thought of anonymity but kept it reserved for a future hardfork. Anonymity is a dicy feature. It brings cons as well as concerns and possibility of illegal activities with it. We want to wait for sometime and see whether anonymity is just a hype or indeed has a future.
We want SaffronCoin to not just be a coin with awesome features that can be traded on an exchange but also a coin that can be used at the national level of many countries as a virtual currency in the future. We are thinking of long term.
An anonymity feature will certainly not be accepted by many countries. If we decide to include an anonymity feature, then it will be much different than what we see from other anonymous coins. I personally do not like Darkcoin's anonymity feature. I suspected it to be just hype because it was something new and different.
If we decide to make SFR anonymous, then we would try to devise something that would revise the way crypto anonymity is seen and would be seen as something that is good for people rather than something that could cause illegal activities.
I am impressed by your answer but in real world it is almost impossible for any country to use saffroncoin as national level currency. There are many things which should be kept in mind:
1. There are so many currencies present in the market that its very difficult to choose any single one and the obvious first choices will be Bitcoin and Litecoin.
2. There will be new currencies coming everyday with new features and big promises.
3. Even if virtual currency becomes big, it will attract the big investors, who will create their own currencies by investing huge amount of money and if they decide to invest in other currencies they will choose the currency with high volume as it is the safest.
4. The inflation rate of saffroncoin is still high, it will affect its image as attractive investment. The POS coins became popular because people who don't mine can also invest without worrying about new coins generated by some miners.
5. For any coin to be successful( I am not saying about pump n dump), it should have high volume and infrastructure. The only thing that separates bitcoin or litecoin from other coins is its infrastructure.
6. People who are investing in coins like anonymity and it is not 100% related to illegal activities. The reason is because when we deposit fiat in exchange, our documents are checked and this way govt. keeps track of deposits and withdrawals. The virtual currency can never replace fiat but yeah it can be used along with fiat.
So my suggestion would be that for the success of the coin, you should give the market what it needs. As you have knowledge about the technical things this can always be changed with the market demand. First you have to get your coin noticed and create volume by the features market need and then you can keep working on other big things for the coin in future. This way you will also have some extra finances to work towards saffroncoin's future. If the coin comes in limelight like darkcoin many new investors will also come to invest in your project.
Therefore I think you should start working on your amazing and new anonymity feature because the cryptocurrency market is too fast and if you lag behind in anything, it gets more and more difficult to catch up. I am just advising you this because I see you guys working impressively hard for this coin.
