What's the likelihood of a coin implementing this? And which coin will it be? And why is it so difficult to implement?

its not possible to implement Zerocoin/Zerocash in a crappy altcoin because Zerocash is nearly build from scratch and in development since 2 years. you will not find an unknown developer who can do this in 2 weeks, dont be a fool. there were already several attempts to scam people.

Not true at all. Zerocoin was designed to work with Bitcoin. It was in fact a Bitcoin shuttle. Most of these "crappy" altcoins are based on dear old dad Bitcoin. So it can work as intended with Bitcoin and certainly with any of its direct descendants. The Libezero was posted public and released for other devs to use to make work with their coins. It says so on the Zerocoin and Zerocash web pages. Perhaps you should read up on the Zerocoin and Zerocash web pages. Contact someone like Ian M from their dev teams too.

yes its based on good old bitcoin and yes the first plan was to implement zerocoin into bitcoin but that never happened and will never happen. i know all that. i want to say that no little kid can add this technology to their crappy coin in some weeks. alot of people try to scam others when they say that.


why is your username "zerocashdev" ? it looks like you have nothing to do with Zerocoin or Zerocash right?

or who are you ? :

-   Eli Ben-Sasson (Technion)
-   Alessandro Chiesa (MIT)
-    Christina Garman (Johns Hopkins University)
-    Matthew Green (Johns Hopkins University)
-   Ian Miers (Johns Hopkins University)
-    Eran Tromer (Tel Aviv University)
-    Madars Virza (MIT)


my answer is: no one

Re: Trust required for Zerocash setup





Maybe I am naive, but I think they will find a way to setup Zerocash that people will be able to trust.

Actually, what you say is only true for the original Zerocoin protocol of Miers et al. 2013, but not the Zerocash protocol of Ben-Sasson et al. 2014 (which is what the original post was referring to.).

It is easy to make this mistake, and Ben-Sasson et al. are to blame. In their Zerocash paper, they use the term "zerocoin", but this does not have the same meaning as "zerocoin" in Miers et al.

I suggest that you read the original papers. Their new combined "zerocash/zerocoin" website is really confusing.

thx for that piece CoinHoarder.

for my part, i knew that already. for me it sounds like the best way it can be done today but we still have to wait how this plays out in the end. i would like to have some more infos. maybe the dev-team needs a PR guy.

bump, any update on this?

It still goes against the whole idea of cryptocurrencies being trustless...

Unless it is setup like not 20 people, but Everybody? Some arcane distributed calculation process that can be done like mining, running for some prolonged timespan. I'm not the expert on that, merely curious.

What I cannot believe is the single genius releasing his invention as a closed source download hosted on Mega, seriously.

[tobeaj2mer01]

Is there any way to mine or buy some zerocash? If not, whan can we do it roughly?

When this is going to launch ? I don't exactly get it . It will be a new coin ? or a service to hide Bitcoin transactions & make them private ?

[Orangina]

Never

What , why not ?

Never

It is just my opinion because there is not a single code written over 1 year and since Israel and the Military U.S are interest in this project i think it will not be made public.

lol Really ? Why they are interessted on this project and I guess you have a point since it's been a year now ;
I guess I will just wait for the OP LiteCoinGuy to answer me thanks dude

[LiteCoinGuy]

i think they will release it when its ready  

"When this is going to launch ? I don't exactly get it . It will be a new coin ? or a service to hide Bitcoin transactions & make them private ? "
