Ah, I can't find the quote now, but it was from a video where he answered questions from the public.

Basically he said

"We are cryptographers and do this as a science project. Once the open code is out there, we will walk away from it and observe what the community does with it"

To me it seems that they are more interested in getting publications in scientific journals than actually establishing a new competitive Alt-coin.
I find the project very fascinating, so I hope I am wrong about this.

I have a couple of basic questions and would appreciate it if someone could address them.

1) The developers have repeatedly stated that they will "Walk Away" from the project once it is released. As Zerocoin is a protocol, probably with flaws needing to be fixed or tweaked, how will the future development and management of Zerocoin be safeguarded ?

2) Without a Blockchain, how will you be able to "prove a transaction" later on (if used to buy goods from an online store etc.) ?

Thanks

I am quite confident that we will see several downturns at least until the end of April.

Put a few orders in at around $400 and you will see them filled within a short period of time. Spend your mind on other things than speculating on the constant ups and downs of the marked, it is not healthy.

You can always buy a little right away if you still haven't, just to get used to the system, but hold of a little on the major buy-in
