This being an open source project. If I would very much prefer to build from source whatever experimental anonymity project I would be testing. If the devs of the clone coins were serious about building a superior ZC implementation they would have collaborated with the Anoncoin team. There is nothing but paranoia and a very unhealthy fear cloning that is feeding this lunacy.
Even if somehow a different team managed to complete an accelerated implementation of our work, one month is an insignificant time to gain a strong lead in building the infrastructure to support it. Anoncoin already has the respect from the i2p community and a flawless reputation. Lots of of anoncoin supporters are programmers that will jump on the chance to build infrastructure for a vibrant community. the reality is that other copy cats will be supported by shills and traders and will follow the classic PnD trajectory.

It is not fair and a bit insulting to refer to the concerns of long time supporters as 'lunacy'. We may not understand everything, but attacking us is.... well... lunacy.
lol. maybe were all lunitics
. I personally bought my first anc coins back in December. i would consider myself a bonnified Anoncoin bagholder. One of my main wallets: AQDnusZcbFXNpvcNoK8p9mpJjBJxDhynB9I don't mean to attack anybody. I simply think that the cloning phobia is overhyped. Will it happen yes. will it be detrimental to the future of ANC, that remains to be seen. The only way i see a clone outpacing us is if they create a better implementation. Either way if someone forks the testnet implementation and makes a separate coin it will readily apparent in the source and will be taken at face value, ergo, a PnD.
