Other upcoming dates:

September 15: the RSA UFO project ends, participants are rewarded, and the server source is released to our Github.

September 17: the first Zerocoin commits get pushed to our Github (Anoncoin/anoncoin, "zc" branch). As I said before, the public Github will lag 2 weeks behind active development in our private repository; this is to make things more difficult for copycat coins.

I have thought a lot about this. If commits get pushed to Github as planned (before testnet) then I am done with Anoncoin.

Although I admire the honestly and hard work of our dev team I fear all will be lost. Other coins have larger development teams and are capable of copying our work quickly. Zerocoin integration is the only reason why I was interested in ANC.

The previous delays I could deal with fine as I know this project was a difficult one. I just cant understand the rush to publish commits to Github before launch. Gnosis and Meeh worked so hard on this coin! Why allow others to copy your work so easily?

I really hope our dev team changes their mind on this and quickly. Please speak up if you agree with me as time is of the essence. We don't want to wait a few more days (when commits to Github begin) and long term supporters start dumping ANC shares because other coins are stealing our work with a plan to launch before us.

I won't mention the names of the "other coins" here but a search of this forum will reveal several working on zerocoin integration now. Once our work is seen in Github, there will be many more

+1000

I think that everyone needs to realize the following:

Anoncoin WILL be forked.

It won't make much of a difference if portions of the code are pushed to the public repository in advance or not. At best, you are putting off the inevitable by a couple weeks. Also, by forking the code, they will be able to use the same RSA UFOs that we generated (though I would consider that to be pretty scammy if they did... They could at least pick their own security parameters...).

The only thing that will save Anoncoin from copycats is that Anoncoin will continue to develop new features and products, whereas the others wont. Anoncoin started as a fork of litecoin, added i2p, formed the non-profit Privacy Solutions, and are about to add zerocoin. As you can see from this forum, more is on the horizon. How many coins have done anything significant after launch?
