Although I disagree with no-ice-please latest incarnation regarding the importance of zerocoin, I think he makes a valid point about connecting the coin to anonymous. The political clout that follows should not be underestimated and will sett ANC apart from the rest of the privacy-bunch.
It is not just an opportunistic question of political clout etc.
What are the intentions of the people who have been supporters of anc? Is the goal to always work on a more secure algo so they can secure their money? Or is it something more useful?
that wasnt much of a summary, im still curious - what do you think should be done?
My suggestion. First decide what anc is after.
If the goal is to cash in on the privacy craze then at least be honest about it. Be explicit "we intend to whore out however much is necessary to cash in". Then focus on marketing strategies etc.
If the goal is to contribute something positive, then also be upfront "we are making a currency by our own rules, and it's purpose is to further an established value system often symbolized by the guy falkes mask" etc.
Until it is clear what direction anc is going it is hard to recommend what it should do.
ok, maybe i wasnt clear enough, ill try this: what direction do you wish anoncoin to go and what should be done while going that direction? methods, goals and so on...
im not trying to be an asshole here, im curious.
