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. Tongue

lol. maybe were all lunitics Tongue

. I personally bought my first anc coins back in December. i would consider myself a bonnified Anoncoin bagholder. One of my main wallets: AQDnusZcbFXNpvcNoK8p9mpJjBJxDhynB9
I 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.

Such a fork will be taken as such by those in the know. At ZC release to main net, the first ZC released will be seen as the 'real' one by the masses.
