...and the reason why withdrawals are not working .. thanks.
Hello everybody, i understand many of you are frustrated about missing the deadline, many of you are questioning whether the devs have given up. I had a talk with gnosis who is working very hard. He does not want to spend a lot of time explaining why he did not finish when that time could be used trying to finish sooner 
Right Now Gnosis is working on the ZC mint-related logic. The Zerocoin checkpointing however is more work than anticipated.
Within Check-pointing:
1) miners accumulating minted coins into checkpoints (DONE),
2) verifying checkpoints upon receiving a block (IN PROGRESS),
3) storing and loading checkpoints in leveldb
4) fix miner coin accumulation so it doesn't restart from scratch each time there's a new transaction
Gnosis say another day or so for #2
Next: (2-4 days each)
wallet witness update
wallet mint logic
refactor CoinSpend
RPC create spend + impl.
store own spend pieces locally
RPC get seeding spend proofs
net: seed spends
net: receive and verify spends
store received spend pieces
wallet spend logic
GUI
I will try to answer as best i can any questions people may have.

I'm glad to here that! I realize breaking new ground is never easy. Something like Zero coin is completely revolutionary and has never been done before, so I am not surprised it is taking longer than expected. Any word about frozen transfers with Cryptsy? Like everybody else I am frustrated, but I still have faith in Gnosis. Tell him I'm with him!
there are 2 problems
1) Due to:
a) low HashRate
b) KGW difficulty targeting
c) periodic participation of large multipools
there are wide oscillations in difficulty causing the blockchain to be "stuck" for several hours at a time without finding a block. This is a serious issue and is being addressed. A new difficulty algorithm is being tested. You can find the new algo in the replace_kgw branch on github.

2) Non standard transactions being propagated by Cryptsy. These transaction are more 100kb in size. By default anoncoin clients do not send out transaction of these size and standard miners do not accept them. Cryptsy has refused to acknowledge that they are doing anything wrong. However i have personally had many problems with Cryptsy including negative balances and delay withdrawals with other coins in the past. As a result of these i do not use Cryptsy for any of my trading. Regardless,
a) K1773R is running a modified miner that picks up these transactions, this takes a while but will get them processed eventually
b) I am working on a darknet exchange that will not have this issue
