It seems to me that devs who buy a lot of their own coins and brag about it are most
likely trying to pump up the value just so that they can dump their coins and  make short
term profit at the expense of others who trust those devs.

One thing I really like about ANC is that the devs seem to be spending their time working on
creating a coin with more use and value than bitcoin, rather than spending time trying to
convince others to buy their coin.  And if that's the case, then whatever ANCs they
are holding will balloon in value.  If that is the case, then keeping ANC low profile so
that they can be bought cheap for as long as possible (until the strongest anonymity
to date comes online and the public gets wind of it) is the smartest thing to do.

If you take the time to read up on ANC info out there, and stop worrying about frequent
updates, then you will take a long term view.

But if all you want to do is buy and sell for quick gains... well, there are plenty of coins
good for that.

Maybe, if you take a look through the list of ANC wallets (link posted in an earlier post),
you will find many people are holding ANCs.  That might tell you something.

So true.  It's far better to progress slowly but successfully, than to rush it and ruin an otherwise world-changing coin.

This is cool.  Thank you.

"Other thing what is missing this community is voting,
maybe we can vote for every decision,  and on that way we attract more people into the conversation."

I think you are right, if people are able to participate more, they might participate more.

"From that we get to another "problem" , Who will work on forum logistic ??"

What do you mean?  What is needed with regard to the forum?

Here is a mutlicoin tipping app on facebook which is looking to add a few alt coins to their servers:

Get on and vote for ANC... all press is good press, right?

Asking for a fee to participate in the market is insane.  Bittrex will list ANC soon just because of ANC's value.  Hopefully we will remember this and ignore Bittrex.

It looks like the pool at anon.cryptcoins.net is down.

I've been mining there exclusively even when there were hardly any other miners...

So, I'm on www.anonmining.com now.  Much smaller, but much steadier earnings.

Ha!

I really don't believe that only black market dealings will be a factor here.  Many people are just plain uncomfortable with the idea of anyone, especially government agencies, tracking their purchases, even mundane, daily shopping- but also such things as medications and other private but essential consumables.

So, I agree that anonymity is far from the least important factor in the long run.

Yes, in fact a couple of weeks ago I transferred my coins out without any delay or trouble whatsoever... this was unusual, however.  Most times it takes at least two attempts to verify and get them out.  I can't imagine what Cryptsy's difficulty could be, unless it's simple market manipulation and not actual technical problems at all, as someone else suggested- but I'm not there working on it so I don't really know a thing about it.  As it is, I don't put any money at all into Cryptsy, I just mine other coins and trade for ANCs.

Please provide links to the video statements you reference above.

I hope you are for real, and that this actually does some good for the people you claim to represent.  If so, do not take personally the attackers and skeptics.  These are to be expected.  Be thick skinned if you are actually trying to do good.  Be steadfast.  Be here, be open and informative, and ignore the naysayers.

So... is it fixed, now?

This is *very* interesting.  Anyone who uses these services, please write about your experience here.

But, KeepYourAssets, don't be surprised if not many ANCs are spent... I think most of us are holding until, well, you know

Can  you suggest another decent exchange for us to migrate to?

I can't seem to login now.  And the auto-payment function is not working for me.  Ticket sent May 19th(!!!), and still not resolved & no contact for over a week.

meanwhile, anon.cryptocoins.net is giving me no problems at all.

Just a 'heads up':  the hashfaster ANC pool is not doing automatic payouts and there is no provision for manual payouts.

I put in a ticket to support on May 19, three days ago and the situation still has not been resolved, although they did ask
whether I was still having trouble on the 20th.

This cannot be stressed enough... so many of us would be willing to devote more time and treasure to this project *if* we had some frequent updates such as a quick post here every other day or so.  I know that folks are busy with earning a living and volunteering and developing, but *faith* in the project and it's eventual completion is essential, and the long periods of silence make keeping faith more difficult than necessary.  My 2 cents.

I have had some trouble with delayed withdrawals.  Try clicking again on the verification link in the confirmation email sent by Cryptsy.  That worked for me.
