Cryptopias Wallet is working. but they gave up, market is closed.

ANC / BTC market is closing

Unfortunately Cryptopia have been unable to keep a stable wallet running for ANC, Despite many attempts to resolve the orphan transaction issue with our wallet we still have an 80% transaction failure rate which is causing heavy support loads on the staff to reprocess orphaned transactions. It is with regret that we have now decided to delist ANC as it is unfair to our users to have coins stuck during the constant maintenance periods of the Cryptopia ANC wallet. Please close all open orders and cease all deposits and withdraw all ANC before 30/01/2016.

This is sad, ANC market going to crash. ANC was my favourite coin, but thank you Cryptopia for helping my coins out. THanks

you do realise ANC is listed on btc38 a chinese exchange much much bigger then cryptopia?

That looks like the same logo as that Ark coin. I wonder if they stole it. https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FfWWhhgD.jpg&t=569&c=8vS8gk8_iUNbXA

There are lots of ANC that will all be sold at some point... and we won't get our funds back. I had several  thousands of ANC in Cryptsy

Man that sucks. I hope you're part of the class action lawsuit.

[Cryptoslave]

Yes 159K is a lot of Anoncoin... time to put buy wall on BTC38

So otherwise, a new hardfork will be done at block 585000 or at 590000 depending of when I am happy with the last tuning of the PID parameters (the integral gain and time). Other PID parameter and moving average are set now, and there was added an automatic lowering of the difficulty if no block is found in 30 minutes, mining allowed during long synchronisation and the difficulty back to greater than number 1 for simplicity sake and by request from users and third party website.

I will commit this week and the hardfork will be in 20-30 days.

Thanks CS, keep up the good work. I know ZC was talked about before with Gnosis; before that ran into difficulty. I know that ZCash is nearing launch/completion. Have you had an opportunity to review their code as compared to what had been previously developed with regards to ANC. Is there any overlap or ability to incorporate new features from Zcash into ANC and continue to be supported under i2p? Just wondering. Thanks in advance and again, keep up the hard work!

Hi,

No, Zerocash is a totally different tech than zerocoin, despite the name. Zerocash is most inclusive and have small proof using zkSnark but there is a trusted setup, albeit multiparty.

Zcoin is the old moneta, it is a shaddy scam coin made by former vertcoin dev, and matt green former master student, Poramin Insom. Firstly the dev scammed ppl with premined zerovert, a merge mined with vertcoin scamcoin. Then he along another friend of him who has somewhat shaddy reputation on the web, for reason I dont care of, took the zerovert code along with a couple subsidies apparently and developped moneta. Finally after they remained quite for almost a year they renamed their project to zcoin probaly to create confusion along zcash launch.

Even if not for those shaddy technique, I cannot recommand their implementation of zerocoin. Indeed, they used for the master key one RSA factoring challenge number. It is dubious to think this number factorisation was generated long ago by RSA Lab for the challenge without keeping the data somewhere.

For trustless zerocoin implementation RSA-UFO is the best IMO.  We generated some of them long ago, but Gnosis somehow put the project on hold and I cannot tell if he will continue or not at this point working on it.

To answer your question, I asked Gnosis a few month back, if he would use Moneta code for speeding up its implementation of zerocoin in anoncoin, but he said it was best he continue from where he was because he used RSA-UFO. Then I did not insist and since then I dont have news. Zcash is totally not compatible, but they have an I2P dev in the team called Str4d.

I've tried to install the linux wallet version on a rasberry pi and am getting the error after the make command: "make -j`nproc`"

the error:

I did not have this issue when building today on linux, did you try again? Otherwise I posted how to build without toolchain, try it maybe?

I've tried various Ubuntu versions on an Intel i5 laptop, I'm now on Xubuntu 16.04 and still having no luck.

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net. If I run "sudo protoc --version" it shows that I am running the correct protobuf (libprotoc 2.5.0) so I don't know why it's not using the native installed version.  The protobuf source that is called while in the /depends directory, and when using the make command is a source that is dead: "https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2" . I tried running "make -i" to ignore this error and move onto using the native protobuf that I installed from Github, but this does not create the GUI when running Anoncoin.

I tried using your instructions for starting Anoncoin without the toolchain, but all I get is "Anoncoin in running on clearnet" without the GUI or splashscreen appearing. Is there anyway of changing the file to change the Protobuf source or alternatively running the make command to source the protobuf from a pre installed directory?

Thanks for your help so far Cryptoslave

Hi,

You were right, the path to protobuf changed. I did a quick commit to master branch, can you try to build the latest now?

That did the job. No errors this time. I still get "Anoncoin running on clearnet". With no splash screen or GUI. Is it normal to have to wait over 24 hours to see a GUI as it builds the database?

Thanks for your help so far Cryptoslave.

What do you mean?

Anoncoin-qtc is with GUI, anoncoind/cli without GUI

Anoncoin running on clearnet message can be removed by the option stfu=0 in anoncoin.conf

When it builds the database you shall be in the GUI already, unless you reindex but it shall not happen on first launch, only if you change txindex=0 to txindex=1 in anoncoin.conf

What do you mean you have to wait 24 h for the GUI?

Just restarted and the wallet.dat was corrupt "salvage failed". Must have been hanging. I'll do a reindex. See if it works.

Did you have coin in this wallet?

I mean why don't you start again from an empty .anoncoin data directory?

CS

[ysell]

Anoncoin is up and running. Thanks Cryptoslave. The reindex did the job. My problem now is that I've left it running for 24 hours and it's still 2 weeks out of sync.

Hi,

You shall in fact also git pull the new master 0.9.6.12 which is the new version which will hardfork at block 585555.

Everybody is invited to rebuild the new client.

I will do a post describing changes soon.

ANONCOIN 0.9.6.12

ANONCOIN NEW VERSION 0.9.6.12 RELEASED - 12 OCTOBER 2016 - HARDFORK @ BLOCK 585555

We announce the official release of the new master based on Anoncoin 0.9.6.12.

This new version (v0.9.6.12-3fd47af) is an obligatory update of Anoncoin with an HARDFORK @ block 585555

Featured changes in this version are the following:

Difficulty algorithm tuned:
- PID tuning to make diff adjustment less aggressive:
      NMAXDIFFINCREASE "200" -> 150 (less difficulty increase, to avoid huge spike in diff)
      NMAXDIFFDECREASE "170" -> 130 (less difficulty decrease, to avoid lots of easy mined block)
      DMININTEGRATOR 170 -> 176 (less difficulty increase on long term because it is not needed as testnet showed)
      DMAXINTEGRATOR 190 -> 195 (more difficulty decrease as we have seen multipool jumping on/off in long term slow the blockchain)
      WEIGHTEDAVGTIPBLOCKS_UP 4 -> 9 (taking more blocks into the average up slow down diff increase and avoid huge spike in diff)
      WEIGHTEDAVGTIPBLOCKS_DOWN 6 -> 20 (taking much more blocks into the average down slow down the difficulty decrease and hence avoid too many easy blocks in a row)
      PID_PROPORTIONALGAIN 1.7 -> 1.6 (reduce aggressiveness of proportional term)
      PID_INTEGRATORTIME 172800 -> 129600 (integral term of 1.5 day to adjust quickly to abnormal number of emitted block)
      PID_INTEGRATORGAIN 5 -> 8 (the integral term now has more weight in the difficulty calculation, the ranges are respectively of (180-176)*8=32 vs 50 for difficulty going up and of (195-180)*8=120 vs 50 for difficulty going down. So compared to the previous settings, the difficulty can adjust more readily to a slow blockchain to achieve 180 sec avg per block.)
     PID_DERIVATIVEGAIN 0 -> 3 (adjust quickly to change of block time ie at apex of difficulty it will drop quicker, and at lowest turn up quicker)

- Auto-adjustment of difficulty via getblocktemplate to a low one if no block is found in 30 minutes

- The difficulty is now expressed again into a positive >1 number, because people and services complained of 0-1 range

- Blockchain synchronization issues fix (in case no block is found for a long time because of miner exodus, mining will be allowed up to one week old unsynchronized chain)

- Bug because of toolchain build of protobuf solved



Every Anoncoin user shall update to this 9.6.12 version ASAP. This is a mandatory upgrade, as after block 585555 the old peers will be disconnected. The version 9.6.11 will be obsolete when the HARDFORK block 585555 will be mined. This will occur the 27 October or in about 2 weeks.

To update to the new version (v0.9.6.12-3fd47af), simply rebuild master following this guide:

The order volume is incredibly low on Exchange i2p. I have tried to order a small amount of Anoncoin but the order is just sitting there and has been for over a day. Seems as though Cryptoslave is really giving this cryptocurrency value with his steady development. I don't know why people are not trading?

[Cryptoslave]

Everybody shall upgrade ASAP to Anoncoin 0.9.6.12! the hardfork is imminent!

Thx

[chases]

Alot of work has gone into this project, I don't understand the low volume either. Great job guys!
