Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history)

[cointopper]

Hello Anoncoin believers,

Our aim is to add value to the whole crypto community by giving the best user experience to analyse cryptocurrencies.

It would be really great help from your side if you can spend 60 seconds of your time and give us your valuable feedback for our two recent updates 1) Snapshot and 2) Colourful interface of Anoncoin at: https://cointopper.com/coin/anoncoin

Constructive criticisms are always welcome at CoinTopper.  Thank you!!

If it will not depend on others, then it will also be for a closed circle?

Anoncoin has not updated the thread for a long time, and there is no news. I think it's time for the team to be active and be prepared for a bull market.

[oyvkva]

what happend with meeh?
Im so curious  

He is around, still the lead dev for the project, join Slack and you can speak with him: https://join.slack.com/t/anoncoin/shared_invite/enQtMjcxMzUxMjk5ODYwLTU0OTJhNmIxNzYyY2JiMzUxOGZhMjYzNmQ3YmViNWM1OWIxZGNlMGY0Zjg1NzdhMDAyZmRiYTFhNTM1OWZiYTU

The new release is almost ready, just doing the last tests now. We don't post in this thread much. Slack is the place to talk with us, and if you remind us to post here we will.

Latest updates are posted on Twitter as well: https://twitter.com/anoncoinproject

The last post is basically just asking people to help out testing the new release and a link to the updated Anoncoin blockchain explorer that can be found here: https://t.co/sFb3Hyu65e

The other explorers are currently not updated.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[sergwts]

wallet not sync
give me nodes please

[cryptogaga]

what is the latest dev, i expected more from ANC, still watching though

I think new releases soon...

New 0.9.7 gost Source in github already  https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/releases/tag/v0.9.7-gost

[kriptofan]

what happened to my very old coins?
are they gone?

[oyvkva]

The two largest exchanges have also updated to 0.9.7:

• https://miraiex.com
• https://freiexchange.com

[oyvkva]

Our hardfork went well, no problem. Lots of people mining GOST now.

Blockchain explorer is updated here: http://anoncash.net/

[kriptofan]

This update is a PoW change, your coins are not going anywhere, but you need to update your wallet before you send them as the old version won't accept the new Gost blocks after the fork.

but my coins are really old, like 5 years old or so

I have added wallet and balance is 0 :/
how to update coins?

[switzer]

Now that the hard fork has been deployed, the core Anoncoin team are now focusing on building Anoncash, which can be thought of as the next version of Anoncoin.  The goal of Anoncash is to be a digital representation of cash instead of most other cryptocurrencies which are a digital representation of a credit card.  Each Anoncash unit cannot be divided, just like currency.  Anoncash can be sent from one device to another in the same manner that any image file can be sent (e.g. txt message, email, airdrop, etc.).

We are simultaneously working on the roadmap, white paper, and transition plan from Anoncoin to Anoncash, and will release details in this thread as well as on Reddit.

We'd love to engage with our ANC community, and more broadly, the privacy coin community as we build out Anoncash.  What we have designed is different, and hopefully fulfills our goals of being a largely adopted, simple to use, private currency.

Interesting. Sounds a bit like the Blackbytes from Byteball. Are there more technical details about how this will work? Will there still be a regular blockchain?

[switzer]

There are some similarities with Blackbytes, in that there is no blockchain / ledger, there is support for multiple currencies and denominations, and that both run over an anonymized network (i2p and tor).

Where Anoncash shines is the decentralized bank’s ability to co-sign a cash unit using a proven random set of nodes, so that any one node or predetermined set of nodes cannot issue a valid signature.

Double spending is eliminated by using the decentralized bank to validate a newly transferred unit - which destroys the old unit and issues a new unit in its place.

Cash units can be stored in the decentralized bank or stored locally. No tx history is stored - just like cash.

Because of the ledgerless design, wallets will be light and transfers can be made between two mobile devices - making Anoncash a very good digital representation of cash.

[lilaj4de]

Starting from this initial idea about being an extension of bitcoin, then does Anoncoin use some bitcoin-related programming codes? Or was it developed from scratch the Anoncoin?

[switzer]

Anoncoin was a fork of Litecoin and modified to run over i2p. Anoncash has been written from scratch.  There will be a migration path so Anoncoin holders can trade in for Anoncash units.

Very interesting. How are the decentralized banks rewarded? What types of attacks are possible and how are they mitigated or punished?

I have so many more questions

Like, how big is the team?
Are you (switzer) somewhat of a liason for this forum? What is your afiliation with the project?
What's the best channel to learn more about the technical details?
...and pretty much all the technical stuff.

I should say up front that while we have a draft specification and the majority of code, lots of changes could be made based on how Anoncash performs in simulation and in the wild.  That said:

The decentralized bank nodes are rewarded using a proof of cosigning (and punished if they provide a false signature).  What that means is when they participate in cosigning an Anoncash note, they have one chance in the lottery for "mining rewards".  More verifications, more chances.  The full consensus model is still being simulated to make sure the chances of attacks like Sybill attacks are minimized, but this is the current thought process.

Team
The core Anoncash team is about 5, including myself.  The broader Anoncoin community is 100+, and you can find us on Slack most of the time (look elsewhere in this thread for a join link).  We are all technical, [Meeh] does the majority of the core engineering, and others perform non-core engineering tasks.  We are looking for more contributors.  I will release the roadmap shortly so you can get an idea of where we are headed (which I am quite excited about!)

In general, [oyvkva] and I [switzer] are the main liaisons for the forum.  I met Meeh and oyvkva face to face about 4 months ago, and it was clear to me that these two were building something special with Anoncash.  From that point I wanted to be involved, and I feel lucky to be a part of this core team.

We have a draft of the technical white paper.  We will discuss parts of it here and in Slack until it solidifies.  At that point we will release the paper.
