I think the reason a lot of us bought into it is because it was indicated that this implementation of Zero Coin would make it first -- being already on the market and "scheduled". Although it still may be the case, it looks like Zero Cash (the official implementation of zerocoin) will get there first. Even if ANC makes it -- who the fuck will trust them now with this kind of bi-polar behavior? Also zerocash is academic -- with real names behind it. Not zig and fucking zag.

Anoncoin:

Zig and fucking Zag.

Agreed. I was hopeful about Anoncoin beating them to the post but now it seems unlikely. There won't be any trust in ANC after today. The bots are out in force on Cryptsy but they won't save it from long term price decline.
