If you wish to donate to me at all, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you in advance:

If you mean we can add it to the I2P dns seed in the codebase, I'm gladly donating if not I'll send you some anyway, just tell me what you want

Adding it to the dns seed in the codebase would be appreciated, but if you don't want to go out of your way to do that, I'll just try to let people know the i2p address of my client. And, I would like a donation, if you don't mind; no one has ever donated to me before. 

[meeh]

Can anoncoind be configured to use i2p instance running on another machine in same subnet?    if so, how?  The idea is to have one i2p gateway on secure network. thanks.

Yes you can

Code:

-samhost=<ip or host name> - address of the SAM bridge host. If it is not specified, value will be "127.0.0.1"
-samport=<port> - port number of the SAM bridge host. If it is not specified, value will be "7656".

Check out

Code:

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/blob/master-0.8/doc/I2P.txt

for a full list of parameters.

Hope this works for you. Please ask if you got future questions

Anoncoin announces the I2P address as well when enabled to I2P enabled clients

Added in commit 639e8ab7ba6b03f8b065b4f07fa8ec56d243ece1.

Also a donation is heading your way

Why does the OSX version not work?
openssl linking.

The Anoncoin-Qt executable clearly points to the right directory.

Code:

	@executable_path/../Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	@executable_path/../Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

However, it still try to look for libssl.1.0.0.dylib and libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib in /opt/local/lib, which is a macports directory.

Easy workaround for the OSX version until openssl is fixed

Open the Terminal.app application. You find it under Applications -> Utilities

This assumes that you got Anoncoin-Qt.app installed in your Applications folder.

Then type the following commands:

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib  /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

Note: You will be asked for your mac account password to do administrative operations.. sudo = "Super user(Administrator) do"

The first command will create the folder, the two next will make a "shortcut/link" to the libraries inside Anoncoin-Qt.app.

I removed my /opt/local/lib/ folder temporary, then I did the commands above and Anoncoin opens.

Other news

I plan release new binaries tomorrow. Probably for all Operating Systems. Including Linux (i386/x64)

I hope the Mac OS X version is fixed by then, if not, the workaround above should fix it without any need of extra installation of applications etc. And should take no disk space at all. Sorry for this problem. If the next build won't fix it, we'll continue until it works

to do this does mac ports need to be installed? because im still getting

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: libboost_system.dylib

Hmm.. That file is there, just double checked the dmg file.

Try:

Code:

sudo cp /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/* /opt/local/

Would it be possible to apply a patch for mixing coins in the network itself like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24784.0. This might help provide greater anonymity. The coins would get mixed between the person's multiple addresses and you get to choose how many times they get mixed.

Also, would it be possible for you to implement a pool that you mine on with your address as your username and you have PPS/PPLNS that you can then store and send to the lottery?

Ex:
You create an ANC account on the anc website.
You start mining on the pool with your username.
You set your ANC address in your account settings. [The account has its own address so it can send the ANC to the lotto] {This would probably require you to rewrite some of the code :/}
You gain a multiple of 1 ANC, and then click a button "Send Your ANC to Lottery".
You participate in the lottery, and the lottery sends [if you win] the ANc to the address you set in your account settings. [And you may be able to send it back to your account to get a better chance in the lottery {maybe not, that would prove unfair in the long run if they have a large mining rig}]

It may not be a very good idea, but it would probably be easier to participate in the lotto.

if you would have read trough the thread or checked the options @ GUI, you would know this has already been implemented. check some messages back for my announcement

Oh, sorry. I must not have seen that post. My bad. and thank you for clarifying that for me.

IMPORTANT:
I don't know if this is important, but there is an error on http://lotto.anoncoin.net that says: EXCEPTION: Unable to connect to http://xx:xx@127.0.0.1:7332

I don't know if those are Administrator credentials, or if the port is just unavailable, but I need to know if it is okay to still use the lotto, as it won't show the current pot.

Thanks for noticing. Forgot to update lotto after pw change.

You are very welcome. I am glad I was able to help you.
Whoever donated to me, thank you!

Any news in the world of ANC? Amongst the altcoins ANC seems to be holding up fairly well in a rather bearish market.

[transit]

I'm bearish with ANC, I stopped mining it. It's way undervalued IMO.

I wish this altcoin had [a bit] more traction; I love the idea of using it within the I2P and Tor networks for greater anonymity.

I agree that it is undervalued, and I wish I had known about it sooner. If I had some BTC, I'd run some ads for ANC to get more people to mine and strengthen the network. If the creators had made the block value a bit higher [maybe 10 or more] then I would be very happy to mine it!

I was checking up on http://faucet.anoncoin.net/ and I got the error:

I don't know if you are in the process of fixing it currently, or if you need to fix it still, but I thought I'd let you know about it.

Thanks. I've setup monit rules for mysql now so it won't happen again. And I donated to you, for the warning about the lotto

Okay, you are welcome. And that was nice of you to donate to me [again]. Thanks.

PS. I sent 7 ANC to the lotto [AHH1j1nDi8UJ7v1wyrDNPj8bU925TrGH7z] and I haven't seen the Pot Size change. It was yesterday at about 6 pm EST. If you can confirm that I sent it, that would be appreciated.

Any news in the world of ANC? Amongst the altcoins ANC seems to be holding up fairly well in a rather bearish market.

New client (and codebase) soon ready for deployment. Also testing some possible services we have developed/set up. (maybe VPN with access to TOR/I2P sites transparent, and anonymous poker. The vpn is in testing now, how good it scales etc.) I won't say more for sure before I can promise it. However, this is the first "announcement" of it. Just been talked on IRC about it earlier 

One of the developers of zerocoin replied to one of our tweets, so I'm gonna write a mail to him and see what we can do with zerocoin.

On the other hand it's a little talk about maybe implement CoinJoin as well, intregrated in a way that it is in no need of a external server, but can lookup "rooms" within the client, distributed by the client itself.. Also, this is just me telling what's been mentioned on IRC, no public statement.

Zerocoin would require for example a DHT system anyway, because the 'coin spend' zero knowledge proofs are somewhat too large for the blockchain itself.

I'll update this thread when I know more

That's exactly what I was wanting to hear, and that's exactly the kind of services a *real* cryptocurrency needs! Exciting stuff!
