Can someone shed some light on this comment from the LibertyCoin thread? It's in the OP
"Important ANN:
We received news from the Zerocoin Team itself that they have abandoned the zerocoin project. Zerocoin is now a dead project. We had started implementing their library to Libertycoin hoping to implement a fully functional and stable version when they released more updates. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do now. We will start removing the zerocoin library that we added to the code, and we will consult with our developer if there are other anonymizers we can deploy in the future. For the time being we will realease an update removing zerocoin from our code, and Libertycoin will remain as a great X11 100% proof of stake coin with 16.5 Million units.
I am thinking it is damage control for their coin. I don't believe that Zerocoin is a dead project and I do not believe that he talked with Ian from Zerocoin...but the rest of the announcement kind of depends on that statement to try and rally confidence back into their coin.
So...Meh.
