+1 Stay away from the clusterfuck that is yoshit...

It seems we have been rejected anyway. I am sure we are not going back there after Cryptoslave wasted 0.1btc applying to list there. We need another couple of exchanges though.

[woogod]

As said nova should be good for now - too many exchanges could make things tougher to keep every exchange wallet up to date.
Perhaps Bittrex after everything is implemented and we got everything up and running.
Other than that considerable exchanges are maybe Cryptopia, Bluetrade, Liqui etc...

[Morbid]

interesting to note that this whole anonymity subject was big in 2013-2014 when most coins pushing towards that direction were created. now, not many are concerned about the fact that most coins out there are 100% traceable.. i believe the topic would be lifted, as soon as we get special investigation teams around the world to track 'criminal' activities related to crypto. we are reaching the point where we might have crypto only decentralized dark net exchanges operating outside fiat, therefore not subject to the 'law'.

I guess there are definitely the market cycles,
And many will return after as you say they have been thoroughly scrutinised that they will start looking for more anonymity.
I don't see why a crypto only immutable decentralised dark net exchange can't exist!

Exciting times.

I wonder, how many of those projects started back in 2013-2014 are still live today?

Oh, This coin old 2013

This is coin actvie ?
Dev on here ?

This is a short announcement on behalf of me, Meeh and a couple of friends who would like to work on the AnonCoin project.

TLDR;
Meeh and some other developers have started active development on Anoncoin. A new release expected in December. We have a Slack, talk with us here: https://join.slack.com/t/anoncoin/shared_invite/enQtMjcxMzUxMjk5ODYwLTU0OTJhNmIxNzYyY2JiMzUxOGZhMjYzNmQ3YmViNWM1OWIxZGNlMGY0Zjg1NzdhMDAyZmRiYTFhNTM1OWZiYTU

Intro.
Meeh started the project years ago, I've been around and following crypto for a few years. We've been talking about it for a while, but recently we decided to get together with a few more developers to work on Anoncoin again.

The blockchain is running, people are mining, but there has not been any activity on the git repo since June 19. After the delisting on BTC38 trading volume has been very low.

Community.
We would really like to revive the project and hope to see support from the community. There have been lots of people with valuable contributions over the years. Thanks to everyone, and especially the people who have kept the project alive for the last few years!

We will be active on both slack and IRC2P moving forwards. Hopefully, we can also manage to bring the Anoncoin Reddit back to life, it's a good place for new people to learn about the project. A new website is also being worked on.

All of this is suggestions and ideas. We want to hear from everyone with an interest in Anoncoin what they would like to see. We really want to see this project succeed and believe there is a huge potential, especially at this time with Bitcoin making new ATHs over and over and media is writing about cryptocurrencies constantly.

Goals.
In the coming 2 months, we would like to update the current codebase. We are planning to use the Actor Framework. The actor model has advantages with simpler scalability and concurrency. The goal is to have a new release ready in December.

For 2018 we have big plans that we would like to discuss with the community. We would like a new codebase, possibly based on CryptoNote instead of ZeroCoin. We would also like a more egalitarian PoW mining algorithm.

We will write in more detail about development goals in a roadmap soon, but it would be really good to hear what people think first. Talk with us on Slack here: https://join.slack.com/t/anoncoin/shared_invite/enQtMjcxMzUxMjk5ODYwLTU0OTJhNmIxNzYyY2JiMzUxOGZhMjYzNmQ3YmViNWM1OWIxZGNlMGY0Zjg1NzdhMDAyZmRiYTFhNTM1OWZiYTU

We are also at #anoncoin-dev on IRC2P.


EDIT 11.13.17: New Slack link.

[meeh]

It's bad that we have two threads now, but the news that Meeh is back is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

(Referring to my post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1481693.msg23402389#msg23402389)

We will fix that. The great stuff is that I'm not alone on all the tasks anymore. The reason I agreed to return was cause we got a team now, and not "Meeh do more or less everything"

[GusO]

[fredericos]

All is under control
Many updates being made

[meeh]

Anoncoin cannot be traded at NovaExchange at the moment: "Trades for ANC has been disabled, probably wallet issues. Check coininfo under balances."  What is up?

The team is on the case I see at slack, I'm not directly involved in this event - but it's being worked on. I'll ask them to remember to update here.

Seems it might was up again even when I wrote it. Well, no more issues at nova

[oyvkva]

Their ANC wallet was in need of a resync.
After the resync markets and ANC deposits were enabled again.

Long enough, time to send some ANC to test the thing out.

[oyvkva]

Trades for ANC are disabled again at Novaexchange, for the last 20 minutes or so, the exchange has been contacted.

I'll post an update when it's back working again.
