Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history)

[Simcom]

Sadly I don't have any idea myself. I assume that there are several solo miners, and since ANC is in multipools like on cex.io ...
This is the only place to ask since many of the ANC folks are looking at this thread, maybe you reach someone on IRC - sometimes it's pretty active there - sometimes!.
Sorry I couldn't help.
greets

Nah hashrate have a to stable low for it to be multipools + AnonCoin is rarely on top of Litecoin chart.
So the conclusion is that +95% of the hashrate is private at the moment?
Largets pool i can find is cryptotroll and it have a few % of total hashrate.
Those other +18GH/s must be somewhere..

The hashrate is 98-99% multipools.  If you are unsure to the accuracy of this statement, just look at the block explorer.  The difficulty drops and blocks come flying in every 10 seconds or so, until the diff. adjusts and becomes slightly unprofitable - then we are stuck on the same block for ~2 hours, rinse and repeat.

Gnosis: Everything going well?

Yes, it's all going well! I had to take care of some things in real life this past weekend. I'm still on track for a testnet release on the 15th.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the donations from you and everybody else. I can work on this full time for the rest of the month!

Hashrate have been steady at 18GH/s + for hours while AnonCoin is way down the Coinwars list most multipools use for targeting.
I honestly doubt there is sufficent buy support if network is less then 5% miners and 95%+ multipools...
Like at the moment multipools are mining Hobonickels, 42 and NovaCoin and AnonCoin is still 18+GH/s at 101% price of Litecoin (nr:17 on the list), no multipools target AnonCoin at this moment.
If you belive in that multipool blabla you need to get your head checked, look at the actual figures.

Hello anon friends,

this was long trip to success, I'm confident in ANC devs success.
In my opinion, good thing is that BTC went down. Value of other competition coins went down too.
We can go up over them fast..  if we care about value..

15th Oct, then 1st Nov is just a start, not finish line for ANC.

What I know, from that moment Meeh starts working "for really".
Other projects are connected with ANC/ZC.
So, how he say to me, we can expect BAM of news. 

Hodl, be patient, we keep crypto diamonds in our hands!

Who are these 95% then in your humilde opinion? Ghosts miners?

Typical AnonCoin community behavior instead on entering a url or two he enter a picture and write something "funny"..

Hi RedZeppelin,

That message is from a new account with only 3 posts. Since you are new here, I would suggest that you simply ignore new users; over the past month we have been experiencing problems with trolls and sock puppets. If you didn't get the response you were looking for, it is probably because many of us now just assume that newcomers to this thread are here only for the purpose of causing problems.

The best place to get information is the anoncoin IRC channel. The devs respond within 24h (most of the time they are on line), and there is always someone there who is willing to help.

Also, as you have probably realized, the anoncoin community is very small. If you find the answers to your questions, you could help out by updating the wiki. Just PM me and I'll set you up with an account. Two pages you might want to work on are

Mining pools, and How to mine Anoncoin.

As I am not a big miner, these pages are in need of help!

Cheers,

Anoncoin Mining

Guys do you know good cloud mining services on which I can get some mining power on the Anoncoin network?
Remember this is scrypt.

Mintsy will offer this soon

https://mintsy.co

dont fall for cloud mining services, they are all scam and ripoff. no wonder craptsy now offer such a service too... its getting pathetic.

Yesterday , we had cryptsy developer in this forum. Please communicate with him to solve the cryptsy issue.

I agree fixing this issue with anc should be a priority. Nothing else needs to be done on cryptsys end. The issue seems to be getting sidelined.... Ill continue to merge inputs to reduce tx sizes until they get it resolved

Why is it taking so long to get a response on this? I keep seeing the issue ignored

Mining pools, and How to mine Anoncoin.

I know about that list if you look at my previous posts im asking where the other 95-96% of the hashrate is because you only find a few % on
those pools on that list combined.
No one seems to know or want to provide an answer to that question..
What other pools are there out there, is AnonCoin 95%:ed by chinese datacenters or!?

I am assuming they are private pools or a large private mining group.

If they were public pools, I am sure they would want to advertise in this thread.

It is scary that one group controls that much of the mining capacity.

It is frustrating that this question and the stuck transaction (cryptsy) issue continues to be ignored. Perhaps all focus is on Zerocoin right now and the devs are not overly concerned with either of these issues

[matthewh3]

Well the most anonymous way to acquire an anonymous cryptocurrency would be solo mining via Tor.  I'd imagine the network has quite a few large solo-miners.  Maybe someone could start watching the block explorer for the IP address associated with new blocks.  Then seeing if the IP addresses correspond with Tor public gateways.  Or if the IP addresses associated with new blocks can be linked to anywhere else.  The dev's did say they were planning on soon changing from Scrypt to a three of five auxPoW chains myriad.  While meeh did say he'd have an important announcement for us soon.

There have been problems recently with the hash rate going up and down by large factors when multipools join and leave. This is supposed to be fixed in an upcoming patch to the KGW algorithm that sets the difficulty. In fact, given that we are burning through 10 second blocks again, the current hash rate is likely from a multipool. About a month ago the hash rate was only a few GH/s.

If you find out the answer, please let us know. If this is a result of solo miners with scrypt asics, I don't know how you will ever find out who is responsible.

Hey its just 95%+ of hashrate it wont damage AnonCoin in the long run will it
I did PM Meeh, he had no answer and he also refused to answer the simple question "where do you mine yourself at the moment"..

Do anyone know 1 TOR pool!?

Stop playing that Multipool card, look at the stats retard, AnonCoin is UNDER Litecoin at the moment on Coinwarz chart (nr:21) but the hashrate is still +18GH/s.
No multipools target a coin that is under LiteCoin cause then no one would use a Multipool, think ffs you mindless drone!

[stealth923]

Been reading through this thread and interested in Anoncoin, apologies if it has been answered before.

I have seen that Zerocoin has an issue with its proof/transaction sizes which will cause significant blockchain bloat. This would cause scalability/adoption issues in the future.

Has Anoncoin done anything to rectify this issue?

Yes. This has been rectified, there will be no bloat to the blockchain. The proofs are stored off the blockchain in a separate database that will be deleted periodically. You can read more about this here

I answered your question earlier but you must not have tried to put in the effort to understand.  Instead you choose to mock and ridicule our community for not giving you an answer. Clearly the answer you are seeking is MULTIPOOLS, as I stated earlier!  

Notice anything interesting with these blocks?

It took 3 HOURS for the anoncoin miners to mine a block of difficulty 767.  The next minute it took SECONDS to mine blocks of difficulty 580, 585, etc etc. BECAUSE MULTIPOOLS HAVE SWITCHED ONTO THE COIN.

This is not rocket science.
