Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history)

I just wanted to make a quick update on the RSA UFO generation. It's close to being done, but at the tail end, I will make the B1 bound quickly increase (which will mean more CPU and memory usage).  Because of the memory usage, I advise you all to put -maxmem <#MB to use> in index.js (ask in IRC for help with this). This prevents your OS from killing the ecm workers due to out of memory conditions.

To tell if it is working, you shouldn't see warnings in the output like "ecm exited with code/signal SIGKILL" or "ecm exited with code/signal 1". If you have set -maxmem and you still see these errors, decrease the value and try again.

Also, to exit gracefully, in a separate console, run "kill -HUP `pidof nodejs`" (or `pidof node`, for OS X / Arch users). This means that the client will stop getting new work from the server, and exit after all existing work is complete and the results are sent back to the server. Another effect is that information about factors found is printed, like you see below.

Also, that's a lot to everyone who has participated so far!  

Factors found so far:

Deactivated UFO candidates: 5, 7, 13. These were deactivated because, after dividing out all found factors, the results were found to be either prime or less than 3456 bits in length.

The thirteen candidates still active have been tested up to B1 bound 19,000,000.

That's awesome! Thanks for the update!

When I follow this guide on compiling the Anoncoin wallet - https://anoncoin.net/index.php/guides2 - on Xubuntu 14.04LTS (64) I get the following error -

Installing GCC/G++ compiler usually solves this problem I myself prefer to install the meta package build-essential. It includes make, gcc etc.. including g++ IIRC.

4) Lastly. Least important. Shiny things like anonymity perfection that 90% of folks, like me, don't worry about too much.

While I agree with your points I disagree that this is least important. As the crypto-sphere gets more and more regulated people will want options for black market dealings, and absolute anonymity will be the major requirement for the winning coin.

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.

[Apraksin]

I am mystified. If I'm to believe you it almost sounds like the aspect of anonymity in anoncoin is of little to no value and rather the value is in factors like political appeal. I always thought crypto-currency was about the viability of the coins. Should we perhaps abort the implementation of zerocoin and save Gnosis time and work?

Installing GCC/G++ compiler usually solves this problem I myself prefer to install the meta package build-essential. It includes make, gcc etc.. including g++ IIRC.

I installed build-essential and the compilation got much further this time.  However it still exited with the following error.

Code:

So I installed libboost1.54-dev for a try and then got a much shorter compilation effort with the following error code.

Although I have the package openssl already installed so got stuck there.

The work on the anonymity feature of the coin is why I am here. Implementation of this will be a major accomplishment. I support all the contenders efforts towards this goal, but I watch to see who the dev team is behind a coin. This coin has a really good dev team, and that is what I base my investment bias on. Keep up the good work guys.

Aprakin, your use of the word "we" makes me uncomfortable.

Gnosis is doing what he thinks is most important and many people support that.

I personally have an opinion and I share it, whether anyone agrees or even listens.

Each person should be able to say what they want without attempts to manipulate. This isn't kindergarten or the mafia.

The long term potential of anoncoin comes from factors already mentioned, not from any feature. Anonymity is a valuable feature. It helped propel bitcoin and if it is improved in anoncoin it will give it a push up in popularity. But I am very uncomfortable with anyone pushing any notion that any technology or feature in a coin will provide perfect anonymity.  For one it simply is not true. Any anonymity, any perfect code, any tech breakthrough, is fleeting. That's the simple truth. Pretending otherwise is dishonest.

Wow. Don't have a cow man. By all means keep your opinion, but don't post in in a public forum if you can't handle simple feedback. I happen to be in this coin for at least a year now due to the steady focus on anonymity.

Cryptsy works again. Both withdraws and deposits seems to work fine now.

Most of your donations will be used for the setting up of bounties for public relations work, but some may also be used for specific code development tasks as well. Specific bounties that we envision for the immediate future include

• Creation of press releases
• Writing of Blog entries
• Writing of popular articles about Anoncoin
• Writing of in-depth articles on the wiki and
• Web design and support.

As soon as enough ANC has been donated, we will set up a dedicated page describing the conditions attached to these bounties.

For your info, the above public address is owned by the lead developer, Meeh.

It would be good to have some list of donors?
Maybe it would speed up the desire for donating.

[drAGon925]

Devs are active more than ever,
cryptsy deposit/withdraw work normal,

and ANC value go down??
Somebody want cheap coins before rise of volume, or I missing some news of new fake anonymity coin!

If you missed... meeh is on active vacation

Great to hear it worked better, however sad to hear it didn't compile 100%. Do you got the libssl-dev package installed? IIRC that's the name of openssl development files. you can simply do a "ls /usr/include/openssl/", if it's listing files it's something wrong with our build scripts, if you get a error you're just missing the development files

Blog update finally; https://sigterm.no/blog/30/

Other news; Nothing is decided yet, but it might end up in a agreement where I work some % of my dayjob to speedup the i2pd process, meaning I'm founded to program on it, again resulting in i2pd would be ready faster and I can implement it. But I will get back to you guys if this becomes a reality/actual deal.

I would also like to add this; fluffypon(the dev) and the Monero coin is someone we might co-work with to increase anonymity, but again, we haven't decided much else than that we don't shittalk eachother. So not you fans too
Side note; Yes, We're still working on Zerocoin, no problems there, so don't start thinking that because we're might co-work with Monero in the future we have given up on Zerocoin or anything in that form.

If nothing else, we will have a new drunk photo for twitter

after few mushrooms maybe new coin  Anoner0  ; )

have a nice trip and get back safe with news!

Great news meeh! May be we can have Anoncon wallet with i2p working for mobile phones.
It would be awesome.

So much awesomeness on the way.
