I've been mining and holding ANC for several years, nearly from the start.  I agree potential is there, but it will require zerocoin integration, basically following the roadmap.  It does not matter to me if the timeline is long.

It is my opinion regular communication is needed beyond I2P for publicity for the coin to ever gain popularity and real value (bitcoin talk, twitter, slack), the very thing people trying to avoid attention loathe.  Further, with a very low value per coin as we have now, it cannot ever serve it's intended purpose to be an anonymous exchange of value until awareness is achieved.  It is again my opinion, somebody -at least 1 person who has some level of connection to the devs- will eventually need to officially attach their real name and face to this project to achieve its end goal.
