News about development:

Results from the various Testnets we are doing showed a very good retargetting of the difficulty with the new PID.



However, there is a bug on Testnet that makes peers ban each other when finding blocks while being connected through I2P. It occurs when at about the same time two blocks are found by two different peers and one of them find another block in a row, before receiving the block from the other peer. On receiving, the peer will ban the other peer thinking it is a DoS attack.

Code:

This bug does not allow us to upgrade the coin at the moment to the 99% finished 9.6.9 codebase.    

Also, and most importantly, GroundRod our Chief Developer is no more, in fact he may be actually dead... but because he is anonymous we cannot be sure although it is 4 months he disapeared.
 
So we are looking for a skilled C++ coder to review the GroundRod code and finally release this awesome work!

Until and unless we find this new C++ coder we will not release. It would be a shame considering the amount of work GroundRod put in this new codebase (updated to bitcoin 10.99).

Pass the word around!

CS

I will ask Lizhi.

Thank you for your help Conqueror!

Also I have updated the Development Schedule to show the current bugs discovered in Testnet and their resolution, and the Anoncoin development team page to show the current list of active developers and inactive ones, updated every month. In this way people will not be mislead about where we currently are and what our human capacity are.

hey
in the last few weeks i made 5 anc withdrawal from 4 different exchanges,
they all gave me txid which dosnt appear in anc explorer
is there any problem with the network ?

did you check here:?

http://abe.darkgamex.ch:2751/address/AZRaYktZMQdc3V1zN1BQiLARVgJjrHPKHb

Those two withdraws there, I made from vircurex. I have made also one from cex.io and one from Cryptsy(that is processed), but nope, nothing there

I can confirm that my CEX.io withdrawal went through now

funny you say that, i don't see any "5 anc" withdrawals from my exchange in the last 3 weeks,

cryptsy, cex.io. btce38, vircurex,

you might be missing a fifth exchange

Can't really imagine how that will work. Really looking forward to see.

Also, I included ANC into my investment guide. Feel free to add your opinions folks!

Also it seems all coins from the list can now be traded alternatively on Bittrex.
ANC is only one stuck on Cryptsy.
Any idea if this guy might add us on TREX? richie@bittrex

pretty much like localbitcoins.com view p2p listings for 3rd party payment channels like meetups, mu/mg, bankdeposit ect. built in escrow system. private messaging, reputation and reviews

ANC is only one stuck on Cryptsy.

lots of coins stuck on cryptsy now

So i have  been for a while @ cryptsy , i withdrawed some btc , like 30 40 euro's worth , i know it aint much  but its enough to help me out my struggle .
I withdrawed or tried to withdraw my btc and the status says that it is still pending after almost a week now  or 2 ,  i made almost over 20 tickets , and this is what i get for response  :  

I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Currently most BTC LTC BTCD and DASH withdrawals
are extremely slow moving due to tech issues.This progressively got worse over the past week and were trying
to find the reason they are not going out. Please understand that due to extremely high security this is a very
complex system and the problem is still being resolved.

We thank you kindly for your patience. Have a good day.


Sincerely,
Marjorie
Cryptsy.com

Some tickets are open for like 3 days and still with no answer to my question and also no refunds .                                                        
they also offered me to cancel the WD , and i still aint got my btc back into my account , i also tried their chatbox  and they have silenced me on there , so after 20+ tickets and a fairytale that they could cancel and give me back my btc , i still have nothing in my wallet , i have been watching the chatbox for some time and there are so many that come with the same problems like me , i wonder how many of us getting robbed like this ? Is there not anything we can do to get us our btc back ? Some people lost big but not me , but this was enough to fund an extra miner along with the rest of my money , but now thanks to craptsy i have to wait until my next paycheck in the end of the month             if they also stole your btc   , please share your experience !

Also it seems all coins from the list can now be traded alternatively on Bittrex.

we used to be listing on trex iirc they had some issues with the wallet and delisted, best bet imo wait for the new version before getting back to them.

FEE ANNOUNCEMENT:

On December 31, we are adjusting our fee schedule:

All Trading Fees: 0.0%
Withdrawal Fees: 1.0 USD
Blockchain Network Fees: None
Other Fees: None  


I believe this change will attract more traders and increase volume.

The future is already predetermined.
Look how many coins appeared out of nowhere  - http://coinmarketcap.com/
What's the point if you hold the coin and the market is full of similar coins and you will not get with this income.
Just sit back and wait what Santa Claus would come and pump the price?

Have you thought about increasing block times? The longer the block time the lower the chance of one peer finding "another block in a row, before receiving the block from the other peer" as in your example above.

Other coins have dealt with a similar issue (although more often in the context of orphaned blocks rather than peer to peer banning).

[Cryptoslave]

We will not change the coin fundamentals. Orphaned blocks would be the correct behaviour to have I agree. In fact two blocks in a row is not so improbable, and we cannot take the risk to do the hardfork for PID on mainet with this issue. The Kimoto Gravity Well version 2 in the 9.6.4+ code is 100% compatible with the actual mining process (9.6.9 has been used successfully since 6 months for mining on mainet).
