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

It doesn't matter. ZeroCoin will be forked many times. I fully expect to see zerocoin-style transactions implemented on multiple new altcoins (with different Proof of Work algorithms), so if you don't like what they do just fork it. |

Zerocash sounds like a "get rich quick" scheme.
It seems like the developers had a vision when they first announced zerocoin. Now it seems like they just want to get rich.

If from both the technical and economical side zerocoin works out, I don't mind the devs getting filthy rich. Just the same I don't mind Satoshi being filthy rich, and wouldn't mind Gutenberg been filthy rich too. Ente |

What is Zerocash? A new name they threw around for zerocoin. |

I'm very curious as to whether this system -zerocoin- can be applied to a 100% PoS (Proof of Stake) coin (e.g. nextcoin) as opposed to the PoW (Proof of Work) system that bitcoin and it's dirivitives utilize...anybody know if they are technically compatible?

Anonymity is not just for illegal activities.
There are plenty of very good and legal reasons to conduct private transactions. Companies that use open blockchain transactions can be tracked by their competition and so many companies are not eager for this information to be public for simple business reasons.
This prospect provides an alternative for these legitimate uses.

There are legal requirements for private transactions, lawyer-client confidentiality, medical records, corporate policy, due diligence, fiduciary duty .. many of these legally require privacy of transactions. It's just insane expecting a transactions system to be completely transparent. It's Utopian, mis-guided and goes against millenia of human nature. The people who propose it are dullards, lazy LE or corrupt insiders looking to gain an edge from information asymmetry. |
