Anoncoin

Anoncoin was being released in June 2013 and is focusing on anonymity for the private user. As of now it can be run on darknets like I2P or TOR to reach a higher level of security when connecting with nodes and downloading the Blockchain. For the future the Anoncoin Developer-Team is focusing on using a technology known as "Zerocoin" which would give Anoncoin a very high level of anonymization. We keep our community updated on the progress since we reached final stages of implementation. Please find out more here on bitcointalk or on our Anoncoin Wiki where we provided guides for beginners, information about Zerocoin, mining Pools and more.

Feel free to ask our community members or Developer Team for support concerning Anoncoin






Zerocoin in a nutshell

Zerocoin was initially proposed to be an extension that would add true cryptographic anonymity to the Bitcoin protocol. Zerocoin provides anonymity by the introduction of a separate zerocoin cryptocurrency that is stored in the block chain along side the base currency. Originally proposed for use with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, the original developers (Miers et al. 2013) have dropped this idea. Zerocoin is now being implemented in Anoncoin, where it will be setup in a trustless manner using RSA UFOs . Unlike other coin mixing services, the Anoncoin implementation of Zerocoin will not rely at all on trusted third parties.
