Zerocoin - has it's time come?

[shuaigejc]

Both more active and more attractive. The anoncoin devs goal is to create an anonymous currency. There is no marketing, no hype, just steady development. It's an established, well distributed and much traded coin.

We don't know anything about zerocash. My guess is that the main focus of the zerocash team is to make as much money as possible. And it want surprise me if anoncoin with zerocoin implementation will be the best solution.

There is no way Anoncoin could be better Zerocash. What Anoncoin adopted was an old library of Zerocoin, but Zerocash will be something like Zerocoin 2.0 with much more advanced technology, note that the devoloper team of Zerocoin is also devoloper team of Zerocash. Moreover, Zerocash will be fair coin with no pre-mining, but Anoncoin is premined.

It is obvious to see you are promoting Anoncoin because you are investing on it or mining it. But i am neither Anoncoin and Zerocash user, i'll wait to see which coin is really better.

Zerocoin offers anonymity is what we need, I feel more secure.

Indeed it is safe, and there is no marketing, no hype, just a steady development.

Zerocash is the biggest news in cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin itself. Zerocash, or all anonymous cryptocurrencies as a whole, should become the largest piece of the cryptocurrency pie. There have been many new end-user features in cryptocurrencies since the introduction of Bitcoin, but none of those are as vital as anonymity. It doesn't make sense to tell everyone to use a mixer or a dark wallet, when anonymity could be built into the currency system itself. It doesn't make sense to say that mere pseudonymity is good enough because the goal is transparency (institutions adopting pseudonymous cryptocurrency), when there are people who would use the blockchain to exploit users. Maybe most people don't care about Bitcoin anonymity now, but most people don't use Bitcoin extensively and think of it as a toy.

Latest blog post on the Zerocoin implementation into Anoncoin testnet4 available here https://sigterm.no/blog/6/ for those interested.

If you are interested in giving it a try as soon as the testnet goes live, sign up. The more the merrier!
http://lists.sigterm.no/listinfo/anoncoin-serviceannounce - Announce mailinglist, mainly target information towards pools and service providers.
http://lists.sigterm.no/listinfo/anoncoin-zerotest - Zerocoin implementation testing (testnet4). Scheduled to go live within a week.


EDIT: For those that have not paid any attention to anoncoin yet. The implementation is based upon the original Zerocoin paper, but has a lot of the dev teams own modifications to avoid the potential problems that people have pointed out over the past few months.

Or perhaps Darkcoin once it's made open source? (don't think it is yet...)

I'm sure it is otherwise other coins wouldn't be able to clone X11.
