I'm not sure to be honest. I will have to talk to Shahim when he wakes up. I would assume we can have it up and running within the next day or two.

He is taking care of that. I have been spending every minute finishing and testing the anon nodes. I have only had 2 hours sleep in the last two days, so I'm going to put my feet up and watch a movie and probably nap on the couch for a while. I will try keep my eye on the forum but if no one is on here for the next few hours, don't be surprised. We are all very tired!!

 

Just don't do anything silly like copying your NAV wallet.dat file over to your NAB wallet and you should be fine

NAB and NAV are completely separate, they will not mix. You can run both wallets at the same time with no problem.

Don't try and use your NAV wallet.dat file or any of its configurations with the NAB wallet though.

This is accurate 

trust me, i am going to pop a bottle of champagne when this is all finished! I've been working my ass off to deliver!

Hi everyone.

This is probably the final update from me before we launch the Anon Beta Network:

Stage 1 - Completed

Navajo Anon Beta master nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.
Navajo Subchain nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.
The anonymous transaction script is consistently working.

Currently, coin's sent to the entry node have their transaction information passed through the subchain and out the exit node as per the white paper.

This is working in real time and has been operating flawlessly.

Stage 2 - Completed

Multiple entry and exit nodes have been set up.
Architecture for a multinode system has been established and peer reviewed.
Architecture for obfuscation of transaction amount has been established and peer reviewed.

Stage 3 - Completed

The multinode system has been implemented and tested.
Obfuscation of the transaction amount has been implemented and tested.

All scripts for running the anon transactions on a multinode system and all obfuscation methods have now been written.
Testing has occurred and we're happy with how this is running.

Stage 4 - Completed

Distribute finished code to all of our anonymous nodes

All code has been distributed to our anonymous navajo nodes.

Stage 5 - Completed (testing)

Make final update to the transaction UI in the beta wallet to enable random node selection

The update has been made, users will now have a checkbox on the send coins tab which will route the coins through our anonymous network. The fundamentals of this are working and I have sent transactions using the new UI via anonymous network. I am currently running some thorough tests to ensure the random selection is working and all anon nodes are up and running correctly.

Stage 6 - Pending

Compile and test the new wallet in Windows, Mac & Linux

Stage 7 - Pending

Release the beta wallet to the public on 1 Feb 2015

--

The wallet updates to enable anonymous sending have been completed.

I have just successfully sent an anonymized transaction with the new wallet through a randomly selected node. All coins were processed by the anon network as expected and received by their intended destination.

We are definitely on the home stretch and looking good for a Feb 1 2015 Release date for the Anon Beta Network!

Hey man, if you're having trouble syncing, you can get a pretty recent copy of the blockchain from the first page of this topic:

Let us know if you're still having problems

Hi everyone.

As promised, here's another update on how things are shaping up for the start of our beta test of the Anon network:

Stage 1 - Completed

Navajo Anon Beta master nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.
Navajo Subchain nodes are stable and staking/confirming blocks.
The anonymous transaction script is consistently working.

Currently, coin's sent to the entry node have their transaction information passed through the subchain and out the exit node as per the white paper.

Multiple entry and exit nodes have been set up.
Architecture for a multinode system has been established and peer reviewed.
Architecture for obfuscation of transaction amount has been established and peer reviewed.

Stage 3 - Completed

Obfuscation of the transaction amount has been implemented and tested.

All scripts for running the anon transactions on a multinode system and all obfuscation methods have now been written.
Testing has occurred and we're happy with how this is running.

Stage 4 - In Progress

Distribute finished code to all of our anonymous nodes

Stage 5 - Pending

Make final update to the transaction UI in the beta wallet to enable random node selection

Stage 6 - Pending

Release the beta wallet to the public on 1 Feb 2015

--

My testing has gone well over the last 24 hours. I believe I have found and fixed most of the bugs. We are currently rolling the finished code out across all of our anon nodes.

Once this is done, we will test the random selection of nodes, then integrate the node selection into the Wallet.

As you can see I have adjusted the stages slightly. We have decided to hold off on adding SSL and encryption until after the beta test is complete.

This is so we are more easily able to debug what is happening if anyone runs into errors during the testing phase.

We will implement the encryption before the final release obviously.

We are still on track for a Feb 1 2015 Release date for the Anon Beta Network!

Stage 4 - Pending

Add an encryption layer on top of all node & wallet communications.

Stage 5 - Pending

Release to the public for mass testing of load / performance on the anon network.

Everything is making sense and seems to be working well. I will thoroughly test the multinode & obfuscation code over the next 24 hours as it is quite complicated.

After my testing is proven satisfactory, I will move on to the double encryption and then make the final tweaks to the wallet client.

We are still on track to having the beta network launched at the end of this month as planned.

I hope this is good news for everyone. Our team has a big few days ahead of us so please bear with us.

Cheers & Happy Trading.

I'm not sure what a screen shot is going to prove? It's all very boring, algorithms etc.. The wallet itself looks almost exactly the same and is still having its finishing UI touches added.

All will be revealed in a few days and you can try the tech for yourself. We're just putting the finishing touches in place!

If you have a look at the white paper linked on the home page it will explain how our system works. We are in the process of making a clearer branded document which explains our technology more.

We break the transaction chain by moving the transaction amount and destination through the private, secure & encrypted sub chain. This makes it not as simple as just watching amount sent and amount received.

We break the chain of events between sender and receiver making it impossible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that User A sent coins to User B.

Of course you will still be able to say that User A sent some coins and User B received some coins if you know which wallet addresses to monitor. This is part of the block chain and is public information. However, you can simply create new wallet addresses and only use your wallet over a secure channel. Also, our Navajo Magic Gateway is in between the sender and receiver and all communications being double encrypted, scrambled and scattered to newly generated wallet addresses. This will make it very hard (read: impossible) to intercept, decipher and follow the transaction path.

I hope this helps you understand what we're doing.

Cheers,
Pakage.

 

Hey man, to be honest, a dev that doesn't care about price is an idiot. Price is an indicator of what the public thinks your coin is worth and if your coin is worthless to the public then why should we continue to spend time and effort on it?

The Navajocoin team believe in our coin, we believe in our technology and we believe it can help people who genuinely need their transactions to remain anonymous for whatever reason they have. We have every faith that the public believe in us as well and we smile when the price goes up. It is a confidence boost to us that we are doing something worthwhile and that our efforts are appreciated.

This is a community project, none of us are paid for our work. I have spent almost every possible spare minute of my life for the last 9 months helping make this anonymous technology a reality and I have received a grand total of about $50 worth of donations for hundreds and hundreds of hours worth of work. The same holds true for the rest of the team. We have spent thousands of hours between us trying to make this technology happen. The only way we get paid for this work is by investing into the technology we are helping to create.

For you to come in here with this attitude is nothing short of insulting.

I have invested my own hard earned dollars into this coin because that is how much I believe in what we are doing. I have effectively paid to work on this coin, instead of being paid, that's how much I believe in the worth of this technology for society. Of course developers of a coin, especially of a community based charity coin, are going to be concerned with price because not only is that how we judge the fruits of our labour, but its also how we are compensated for our efforts.

For you to talk about satoshi like you know the guy is an absolute joke. Are you trying to tell me that no one on the board of the bitcoin foundation owns a single bitcoin? It's like saying that no one who runs a company should have shares in it or care about the share price. Of course they do, don't be naive.

We are not primarily concerned with price. We are primarily concerned with the technology, being true to our deadlines and bringing new innovations to the crypto world which can help people transact without interference from states.

Prices go up, prices go down, I'm not concerned in the short game. This coin has real value in the long term and the price will go up a lot in the near future because it has intrinsic value, we have clear goals and a dedicated development team.

In other news, I will be updating you all within 24 hours with the progress of my refinements to the anonymous transactions.

We are still on track to release the beta network for mass testing by 1 Feb 2015.

Please don't feed the trolls.

I am happy with how the multinode approach and the obfuscation methods are shaping up. I should have these finished off in the next couple of days.

We are well on track to having the beta network launched at the end of this month as planned.

I hope you can all bear with us over this busy period while we're pulling these last few things into place.

Cheers & Happy Trading.
