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...).
Other coins will use our RSA UFOs if allowed. A FEW WEEKS IS EVERYTHING. It is imperative that we launch first as that will be a lasting marketing advantage long term.
Who copied who will eventually be forgotten (especially since any copycat it likely to mix in their own features) but who launched Zerocoin first will always be remembered and a lasting advantage.
I think that if we stick with our current plan, someone will fork everything while we are in testnet and launch a mainnet Zerocoin clone based on our work before we do. It will be scammy but it will hurt us severely and we may lose our chance to be the #1 Zerocoin based coin.
ANC can become a leading coin for anonymity technology, but only if we can get off the ground before others steal our work.
Why not at least run the testnet before we release any code? If it works properly then we can release the code just before mainnet launch and assure that we will be first.
