So, what is with this new cryptsy walls,   somebody wants to make panic sale,  selling to "himself" and going down with steps?
what do you think?
It looks strange to me..

No doubt that there is some heavy pressure on the Anoncoin price. It looks very strange to me...
For all this work that is being done ... nothing!

I mean, even if ZC gets implemented  will there be a significant rise? hm... debatable

Can we change name to AnoncoinDark or something , maybe will be more volume and success : )

Obviously there is some group of ppl who support few coins and go from one to another to pump.
Maybe ANC is on they TODO list  

this wont happen.

ANCDRK, or TODO?
 

what about PoS?
Skaia has brilliant ideas!

Thank god. Seriously though k1773R, a ticker change to [ANON] would be legit. No way on the full name change though.

xD  you mean that I was serious with this name change??

Does anyone have an opinion on a 100% proof-of-stake system, similar to Peercoin? (actually, they use a mixed POW and POS system.)

The benefit is that there is little energy used with POS compared to energy hungry POW algorithms.

The downside is that there is built in monetary inflation (albeit, very low at 1% for peercoin, if I remember correctly).

People are more attracted to 100% proof of stake in new coins now. Only miners don't like it. For the coin and the value of the coin 100% proof of stake is better than regular mining.

regular mined coins / btc, ltc etc / 1 star

proof of stake / nxt, cap, etc / 2 stars

innovative productive / xpm, ric etc / 3 stars

innovative productive variation of proof of stake / huc, etc / 4 stars

Going to 100% regular proof of stake is like adding a piece of celery to a bowl of rice.
Is it an improvement? Yes.
a significant improvement? No.
Nothing creative or new about it but yes, rice with celery is better than rice without celery.

With a block reward of 2.5 ANC in some months, we will loose all small miners against big centralized miners that will control the network as they want.

Then, in my opinion, PoS would be a good option. They could program the inflation rate to have same coins distribution as the actual PoW algo (4 million ANC at the same approximated date).

With regard to the block reward halving: This has always bothered me.

Halving the block reward every X blocks is nearly equivalent to an exponential decrease in the block reward with time. Why don't we just hard code the block reward to be

reward = C * exp (-b/lambda)

where b is the block number, lambda a decay constant, and C a constant that depends on the total number of coins?

Using step functions was a dumb idea from the start, and I don't know why Satoshi did this. It seems to me that it would be trivial to update the anoncoin code to have a continuously decreasing block reward, if everyone thought it was a good idea.

Notice

For all pools and people mining, please apply the following three lines bellow to the anoncoin.conf file:
blockminsize=0
blockmaxsize=1000000
blockprioritysize=1000000

And restart Anoncoind. The blockchain got spammed with some huge transactions, and this would solve the issue.

You have to ask meeh for this

[drAGon925]

 May I suggest that we stop mining ANC, and let it how it is on 1.2M

I think drk do that from 84M to 22M

 

[alincoln]

Best for anonymity would be to automatically convert all ANC to ZC so that the total number of ZC coins and addresses is high.
I don't see why users should be given an option to send ANC without anonymity... the vision for ANC is anonymity, not a choice to send anonymously.

The user doesn't even have to know what's going on behind the scene with ZC, and the QT may even show amounts in ANC only.

This would 1) maximize anonymity and 2) make it simpler for users. 

It has been explained already: the mint process requires a high computational effort which will be rewarded with fees an order of magnitude greater. So it's not feasible or desirable to only have an anonymous send function.

True anonymity has a cost I'm pretty sure ANC users would be willing to bear.
On the flip side, using a "Anon-send" button would provide lower anonymity at the same fee magnitude...

Re feasibility; you say this approach is not technically feasible?

That is an incredible stupid idea. Almost as bad as your name change suggestion. Why would you want anoncoin to act like a scam coin?

Scam coins have value, and blockchain works too, just trying to help here
And I want to hear how ppl react when they nervous

Blockchain down...

Who told you that?
It is just spam, we must create spam folder.

WE CARE, but we wait for meeh news..  
I hope that this is just a psychological attack, without damage.

EDIT2: not Monday News

Same spam folder as gmail?

Yes, but with ANC logo

[SmokingSkull]

Really weird with the Blockchain.

  There's nothing serious, is there?

 

5 days and my ANC transaction from Cryptsy is still on hold...

These are 2 problems, I think.
Cryptsy sucks we know that,
and now this spam attack.. I hope that will be solved soon!
