Re: Can Zerocoin be mined yet?

In the beginning the idea was to add the Zerocoin protocol to the blockchain making it possible to redeem Bitcoins anonymously. Just as paper currency once gained its value from being redeemable for gold, Zerocoins wold gain their value from being redeemable for Bitcoins. It now seems this model may be changing and Zerocoin may soon coin itself.

The big news is that Zerocoin is now talking about moving forward as its own alt-coin, perhaps as early as a few months from now. This is a radical change from the road ahead
