█████ ***** THE ZEROCASH SOURCE - Truly anonymous coin ***** █████

[LiteCoinGuy]

So, any ideas when the new whitepaper will get released?

no. nothing new on the zerocoin frontline. could be jan or feb 2014.

Who came up with the logo?  Looks scary to me. Authoritarian.

The people who made this coin seem very aggressive in their pursuits. Which is not entirely bad, but I get some weird vibes from them.

Not sure what is meant by writing "reserved", but I am all for it if it indicates interest in zerocoin and thanks to the op for starting this thread;

Looks great, will be looking for new infos

Intertesting. I'll be following developments.

I vote for BTX for the abbreviation if this takes off. As in Bitcoin-next generation.

This basically implements encrypted connections among Bit/altcoin peers.

This can kill anoncoin.

I'm relatively new but if I read this article correctly zerocoin will be part of anoncoin. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2013/12/12/anoncoin-interview-lead-developer/

Maybe it will be implemented, but shhhh... Zerocoin needs independence

after carefully reading Zerocoin may just be added in anoncoin..

...So, Zerocoin can be thought of as a built-in, no trust coin-mixing service. Right now, the Anoncoin team are deciding on a sensible exchange rate between Anoncoin and Zerocoin, and what percentage of Anoncoin block rewards will be paid out in Zerocoin – given the latter will be incorporated as an additional part of the ANC blockchain. In fact, Zerocoin was initially developed as an addition to Bitcoin. For whatever reason, perhaps caution against adding complex new features by the developers, or perhaps privacy being lower on their agenda than mainstream / regulatory acceptance, it seems unlikely the Bitcoin will adopt Zerocoin into its protocol any time soon.

This opens the door for Anoncoin, likely the first altcoin to integrate Zerocoin, to become the preferred coin for those who value their financial privacy. Let’s face it; such a privilege has long been lost to users of credit cards, electronic banking, wire services, PayPal or anything that isn’t cash, barter or carefully-deployed cryptocurrency. Anoncoin is shaping up to be the complete privacy package. I suspect it will function as a great testbed for anonymity features, as well as having a bright future of its own.

Anoncoin is premined. Also, zerocoin is now going to be its own alt coin, not an add on as was originally discussed on their website. The zerocoin website has not been updated for awhile.

Thanks LiteCoinGuy. Very interesting discussion. Makes a strong case for the importance of anonymity. I'll be following Zerocoin developments.

Ian Miers says May.

In the meantime, as he says, Matthew Green is giving a talk on Zerocoin at the "Real World Crypto" event on Monday. Video/audio of the talk should be up soon after (I hope).

Neither the Forbes nor soundcloud links worked for me. Forbes redirected me to an AD.

Soundlcoud said "Track not available on mobile". I wonder if it assumes no flash==mobile or something.

On the Forbes ad, there should be a link to skip the ad in the upper right-hand corner.  That'll take you directly to the article.
