Because first of all, we don't like the Central banks, and would love to see they lose their monopoly. If you haven't noticed, they aren't so happy about Bitcoin, Litecoin and all other coins out there. And they will try to stop them.
AnonCoin goal is to be used on both darknets like I2P, TOR and others, and internet/clearnet. At current moment it works with SOCKS over I2P/TOR. Native support to I2P should be in place soon. It's a scrypt based coin, forked from Litecoin but still got some nice features from other coins too. Not at least it's own twist of them.
Features
- 3.42 minute block targets
- Starts with 4.2 coin blocks until block 42000
- 7 coin blocks until block 77777
- 5 coin blocks after 77778, then subsidy halves in 306600 blocks (~2 years)
- A limit on 4,2 Million coins
- Native I2P support (Anonymous darknet)
NOT Pre-mined (only ~1000 blocks, but most of it goes to the facuet)
Planned/In progress
- Android wallet, with a embedded mini I2P router for anonymous transactions

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-poolsThe only I2P pool is found at
http://coinpool.i2pDo you want to use it only via TOR?
1. Install TOR
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en2. Put this in your config file (anoncoin.conf):
onlynet=tor
tor=127.0.0.1:9050
addnode=m6xwmit3jovw34r2.onion
addnode=aqmdzilaqayzjb6o.onion
addnode=sf2px26xdsqphkef.onion
addnode=wwniwxrykmk2wtcw.onion
On windows, simply type "%appdata%" in Run, then navigate into Anoncoin folder and create the file if it does not exist.
MARK: create it with notepad and select all files (in save dialog), and make sure it don't add a trailing .txt so the file will be named anoncoin.conf.txt
On linux (Terminal):
cd .anoncoin
touch anoncoin.conf
open anoncoin.conf
We will add more TOR nodes in short time.
Low on nodes? Try these:
198.144.187.112
54.214.83.193
193.150.121.24
193.150.121.28
141.0.73.226
A good question was asked, and I decided to add it here to make people reading this post less confused.

What is anonymous about this coin? By nature all of these coins are 100% transparent but that doesn't mean anonymous. Just because I might not be able to tell A3jkh3234asdlknfk32h423nkjsadnf belongs to "someuser" doesn't mean I can't see that user's transactions. This is NOT anonymous...
Yes of course you can see transactions. What this coin is aiming for is to be used on darknets, which make it difficult to track regarding IPs etc. Also I2P/TOR provides a great encryption layer, but yes, it does not help the transactions. The transactions can never be anonymous in the way you describe it.
Anonymity is not a boolean, you have to know how to be it.. You can't just download a software and expect to be guaranteed 100% anonymous.
Also, the name isn't just because of the upcomming features. It's also a "activist" coin agains the Central bank monopoly which try to stop bitcoin and all other coins if you haven't noticed. Believing the Central banks won't try to stop coins, is naive..
Note, paypal etc isn't allowed anymore to do transactions which can be related to bitcoin trading. Not at least, it isn't the first time Central banks have stopped other currencies that have become large enough to threat their monopoly.

1. Download and install I2P (
www.geti2p.net ), then start it. (It will run as a daemon, so don't expect any window)
2. Wait a minute or two, then navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients3. Make sure to start the "SAM application bridge" (Tip: After starting it, check it for autostart and save configuration)
4. In run (enter the start menu and type run on windows Vista/7) type %appdata%
5. Open or create the Anoncoin folder
6. Create/edit the anoncoin.conf file
7. make sure to set the following options: rpcuser, rpcpassword and onlynet=i2p
8. (Optional) you can set i2p=1 instead of onlynet=i2p
Example:
rpcuser=someone
rpcpassword=super_secret_password
onlynet=i2p
Note: The I2P router uses a little time to integrate into the I2P network, so you might not get a connection before I2P have runned for about 5-10minutes.
