Is there an exchange that has ANC listed?

Its not wise to buy ANC/BTC. Good if you want to sell ANC.

I need help please. I transferred my Anoncoins back to my wallet last year when Cryptopia announced I had to withdraw my coins due to problems with the blockchain. However, my wallet says that I am 50 weeks out of sync with the blockchain. How can I sync the wallet to the blockchain and get my coins back. Furthermore, are the developers keeping the blockchain alive and will Anoncoin survive?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Make a config file (if you don't already got one) and add the nodes you find there. That should make it sync.

Thank you for your message.

I am completely ignorant when it comes to creating a conf. file. I have installed v9.6.11 and when I open the wallet, I get a message 'running on clearnet'. When I have 2p2 running, I don't get the message, but both times, the wallet shuts down for some reason.

[tranzactionezlive]

I've added those nodes and even though i get 2 connection there is still no blockchain available.

Someone who has it, please stay connected and if you can,


List a few more nodes ! Thanks

Hello,

Anoncoin works much better on the i2p network (i got 8-9 connection instant, awesome )
try to use the i2p portable v 1.0.12.0  here:

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/releases

on the clearnet i used win64 version  too but i get also about 2-4 connections  (use the new version because of the hardfork),
i had problems too (blockchain stuck) the soloutionfor me was to delete the blockchain and download again.
(windows user apps folder , but backup your wallet first and dont delete it by accident)

Dear X68N,

Thank you for the portable version. However, when I execute the Anoncoin wallet, it still says that I am running on clearnet. However, I have the i2pd running. Is there something that I need to do? Also, how do I recover my coins? They have been transferring from Cryptopia for nearly 1 year.

Start “SAM application bridge”, check “run on startup” and click on “Save client configuration”.

Now run the wallet client

anoncoin-qtc

If it says “running on clearnet” you need to make the relevant changes to anoncoin.conf

[X68N]

i just downloaded the i2p package and started "StartANCI2PdPortable.exe" this always runs on i2p on my pc.

for your coin "recovery" you need your old wallet.dat and place it into the user roaming folder it looks like this:
C:\Users\"your windows username"\AppData\Roaming\Anoncoin

make sure to have always 2-3 copies of your wallets if coins are in them (i sort them in folders like "ANC 500 coins\wallet.dat" on a
flashmemory.

For those who dont use a recent build of master, please set this in your conf file.

Code:

spendzeroconfchange=0

There is a bug where your txs can get stuck due to double spending of unconfirmed change. On git master its already disabled per default, on older versions its unfortunately enabled by default.

Thank you for your help. I started the 'StartANCI2PdPortable' exe file and the i2p exe also started at the same time. After couple of minutes, the 'DYN i2p' activated and I have 6 people connected. I also put the wallet file in the anonocoin wallet folder. I could not find the Roaming folder for some reason. I searched the c drive/users etc, but nothing. However, no syncing is happening as per this post for some reason. I am not sure why?

Have you installed the bootstrap file. If not expect a 2-3 day wait. Bootstrap file speeds things up to the hour(s) rather than days

[machico]

Ysell - Where do I find the 'bootstrap file'?

[machico]

Ysell - Thank you. The wallet (portable) seems to be syncing. Hopefully I will get my coins after the wallet syncs. I will let you know.

Glad I could help

Ysell - Have you been invested in anoncoin for a long time and do you think it will survive? I have been with anoncoin from the early days and still believe in the coin but the support at the moment is weak.

Anoncoin to .01 by the end of the summer!

There's so many if's and but's to this question. I have been interested in the coin since Zerocoin 2013ish. The tech is awsome. They've delivered on the i2p integration, now it's just a wait till the zerocoin integration; then, if this happens there will be no other coin that even comes close.

Monero and zcash, all have inferior tech (especially zcash dodgy multi party trusted coin - Not even the inventors would trust zcash - on Youtube saying this), but if Zcoin is never implemented, it's just a fantastic theory. I believe it will be implemented. The main developers have other projects, such as Meeh being the main developer for i2p.

The critical aspect of this, is; will the main developers continue to work on ANC? The problem is without development, or at least a visible presence on Twitter, Forum's etc, people think it's dead, yet there is development, although sporadic. The developers are so hot on working within the confines of a private internet i2p that they fail to realise that public insecure communication is the best way to garner new interest, new developers etc. It seems these guys are happy with an exclusive privacy network without communicating with others outside of it.  it's a very interesting coin with awsome potential and a whisper of development. The development whisper does not fill me with optimism for it's future, yet I have a geeky enthusiasm for it's potential.

In the not so distant future, governments will try and prevent cryptocurrencies, thus there will inevitably be the need for a privacy based cryptocurrency. I see Anoncoin tech as being a safety net incase the worst does happen. This will see the rise of Anoncoin surpassing Bitcoin valuations, as people are criminalized for using Bitcoin. I'm personally a little unnerved about cryptocurrency, alot like how I was concerned that MP3 digital was surpassing CD's. At the same time I see Anoncoin or equivalent as being an inevitable highly used currency.
