If any scrypt miners are out there it would be awesome if you could mine ANC for a bit to help crack this block.

There have been problems recently with the hash rate going up and down by large factors when multipools join and leave. This is supposed to be fixed in an upcoming patch to the KGW algorithm that sets the difficulty. In fact, given that we are burning through 10 second blocks again, the current hash rate is likely from a multipool. About a month ago the hash rate was only a few GH/s.
If you find out the answer, please let us know. If this is a result of solo miners with scrypt asics, I don't know how you will ever find out who is responsible.
Stop playing that Multipool card, look at the stats retard, AnonCoin is UNDER Litecoin at the moment on Coinwarz chart (nr:21) but the hashrate is still +18GH/s.
No multipools target a coin that is under LiteCoin cause then no one would use a Multipool, think ffs you mindless drone!I answered your question earlier but you must not have tried to put in the effort to understand. Instead you choose to mock and ridicule our community for not giving you an answer. Clearly the answer you are seeking is MULTIPOOLS, as I stated earlier! Notice anything interesting with these blocks?

The next minute it took SECONDS to mine blocks of difficulty 580, 585, etc etc. BECAUSE MULTIPOOLS HAVE SWITCHED ONTO THE COIN. This is not rocket science. |

Gnosis: Everything going well?
Yes, it's all going well! I had to take care of some things in real life this past weekend. I'm still on track for a testnet release on the 15th. Anyway, thanks a lot for the donations from you and everybody else.  I can work on this full time for the rest of the month! Thanks for the update!  |

Sadly I don't have any idea myself. I assume that there are several solo miners, and since ANC is in multipools like on cex.io ...
This is the only place to ask since many of the ANC folks are looking at this thread, maybe you reach someone on IRC - sometimes it's pretty active there - sometimes!.
Sorry I couldn't help.
greets
Nah hashrate have a to stable low for it to be multipools + AnonCoin is rarely on top of Litecoin chart. So the conclusion is that +95% of the hashrate is private at the moment? Largets pool i can find is cryptotroll and it have a few % of total hashrate. Those other +18GH/s must be somewhere.. The hashrate is 98-99% multipools. If you are unsure to the accuracy of this statement, just look at the block explorer. The difficulty drops and blocks come flying in every 10 seconds or so, until the diff. adjusts and becomes slightly unprofitable - then we are stuck on the same block for ~2 hours, rinse and repeat. |

Only reason you got a reply is because i am not a part of the AnonCoin "community" cause they
are unable or unwilling to answer simple questions like this or where the hashrate hides out..
lol seriously? You answered like 20mins after he asked, there are plenty of helpful people around here that would have answered his question. |

Found something! Blockchain is one word, same goes for websites.

Excellent infographic. I can't see any errors but I'm no expert. |

Wait a minute. You are saying it is better to trust one person who will not identify himself, rather than 7 ivy league experts who are public figures, when it comes to trusting whether a backdoor has been coded in? Especially when the one unidentified person has simply taken the work from others and claims to have completed it?
It looks like a pumpndump scam on a grand scale. I'm in. Keep on pumping and we'll see how many stupid people bite.
With RSA UFOs no trust is required from gnosis. We DO need to trust that those who generated the UFOs are different entities - but gnosis couldn't implement a "back door" if he wanted to, that is the point of using RSA UFOs. |

I've been busy developing so I haven't replied much but I just wanted to quickly say 1) thanks everyone who donated so far (currently full time through October 27)! and 2) I'm still on track for a (binary-only, sorry) testnet version for October 15. It will be binary only to prevent copy-cat coins. If you want to try out the Zerocoin testnet but are the type of person who only trusts compiling from source, I recommend running on a dedicated machine or in a VM. When will you release the source? Before the mainnet launch? |

Looks like the market is finally waking up |

If an attacker broke the keys, he will be able to create infinite ANC from nothing. In your opinion, this not a problem, R-E-A-L-L-Y?
Technically not infinite right? There are 3.1 million coins total, an attacker would only be able to steal up to the number of coins that are unredeemed zerocoins, right? So maybe a few hundred thousand at most. Still would probably kill the coin I guess. |

Gnosis how is development coming along? I've looked at the code but it's hard for me to judge - do you think you are on track to meet the Oct 15th goal?
I'm still on track. Awesome |

Wow we got unstuck. That was way faster than I was expecting.
|
|
|

The funny thing is that this might actually help the price because it stems the flow of ANC being dumped by the multipools. Also if you have some scrypt hashing power you could help unstick us if you point it to an ANC pool. |

It looks like it may take up to a week to crack this block if the miners get unlucky. Maybe we will get lucky and break it in less than 24 hours. Is this the largest mining pool? http://anc.cryptotroll.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=poolThis pool will find a block every 131 hours at current difficulty and hashrate. Someone claimed that we are moving to auxpow or a different retargeting algo - is this something that is already in the code or just something the devs have just talked about. If it is already in the code, what block do the changes take effect? Meeh is actively working on implementing it. AuxPoW will be included in the next hardfork the same time as the ZC mainnet. Also meeh has pasted a sample of a KGW replacement so thats going to be included for sure as well Ok good to know. Would have been nice if this had been changed earlier but at least it's on their radar. |

Also kgw is a laughably terrible retargeting algo apparently-
368, 368, 368, 369, 369, 369, 4792! LOL.

On the dot. lack of dev response is rather baffling.
Is the homepage and wiki being down for one whole day just a coincidence?
The network hashrate is CONSTANT at 158.37Gh /s for quite some time now. this is freaky because it should continuously hem and haw in my imo.
*sigh* thats only hashrate for the last found block. +1 It is impossible to know the current hashrate for the network, the best you can do is to try to add up the hashrate of the known pools. It is of course very low though or else we would have found a block recently. |

From my understanding of RSA UFOs, that is not true as Gnosis only received N and there is no way for him to figure out the factorization of N, which is two large unfactorable numbers P and Q. By combining multiple RSA UFOs, I think Anoncoin is using 13, it ensures that the person that solved one of the UFOs in the distributed computing project cannot know the final accumulator, and Gnosis can't either since he doesn't know the factorization of the 13 RSA UFOs. It makes sense to me how it works and you are incorrect in saying Gnosis knows the factorization of N, as without a LOT of computing power it is impossible for him to know that.
The only worry I have about the RSA UFO project is that possibly someone already knows the factorization of N (IE. The government), or someone will later find it out with faster processors in the future. I am not sure if this is a realistic thing to be worried about though, as the only thing I know about this stuff is from doing research on ZeroCoin/Zerocash/Anoncoin. I will try to reach out to the Zerocash Devs to get their opinion on the RSA UFO project, as I would trust their opinion over a random poster on these forums (no offense).
I was also concerned about this but Gnosis assured me that at any point in the future we can generate a larger set of RSA UFOs and upgrade the network with a hard fork if we had to. That is good to know, so that alleviates one of my worries. I think it would go a long ways, as to my other concern of the government already knowing the factorization, to extend the RSA UFO project indefinitely. That way the security of the accumulator can be upgraded via a hard fork when bigger UFOS are found at a later date. That way over time the chance the NSA has already cracked the UFOs gets smaller and smaller. Yes I think its a good idea. Hell, maybe we can build the RSA UFO generator right into the wallet, have everyone churning RSA UFOs all day if they want to, then do yearly hardforks to incorporate the new juicy UFOs. |
