Wow so much newbie activity over here Wink

If you are dismissing my concerns can you please explain why they are not troubling to you? If you have any information please share it with the community.

1. K1773R is still blaming the transaction problem on cryptsy. There have been bugs found in the anoncoin code and cryptsy is compiling from source. Other exchanges and even desktop qt clients are having the same problem as cryptsy. So this can't be a cryptsy problem. I would really like if the devs would work on this problem seeing as a cryptocurrency with transaction problems is obviously really bad. What are the devs doing to fix this? We need anoncoin back on exchanges asap.

2. Meeh has been working on myriad auxPoW for the past month but recently asked what myriad auxPoW is. Since he can't develop something he doesn't know about what has he been doing? An update on the supposed "imminent" hardfork would be great. The sooner this hardfork happens the sooner anoncoin can fix the difficulty issue.

3. Anoncoin code is still based on bitcoin 0.8.6 which is almost a year old at this point. Why hasn't the anoncoin code been updated? Bitcoin is currently on 0.9.3 and there have 4 updates in between 0.8.6 and 0.9.3. Why has anoncoin missed all 4 updates? Gnosis recently posted that meeh was working on updating the code to 0.9.3 but that concerns me because meeh was also supposed to be working on myriad auxPoW but seems to not be doing too well with that either.

4. This conversation with ian miers of zerocash is also troubling. He doesn't seem to think our RSA UFO's are strong enough. https://twitter.com/secparam/status/449576116161089537

Doesn't matter if the account is new if the points he raises are valid. These are all perfectly valid concerns IMO.

Yeah, I have to agree.

First Bluetrade, then Cryptsy, then CEX. I think that the verdict is in: the problem is with Anoncoin and not the exchanges.

The last Anoncoin release (based on bitcoin 0.8.6) was Dec. 24, 2013. Though there has been a lot of bull-shitting and promises made, nothing has been accomplished in almost a year. The code base was not kept up to date, and now we are at the mercy of those exploiting flaws that were fixed long ago in other coins.

Now, if this was just some software project, so be it. However, Anoncoin is supposed to be a cryptocurrency, and the current market cap is about half a million USD (it used to be, and should be, well over million). It doesn't matter whether you own a lot, or just a few coins: the lack of action from the lead developer is causing the value of whatever you own to plummet. On top of that, even if Anoncoin were a store of value, there is now little utility in holding ANC: you can not exchange it, and you can not transfer it with all the craziness in the network difficulty.

So, is the verdict that the Anoncoin experiment is a failure? Or will Meeh actually wake up and patch his sinking ship?

ANC is a failed experiment because it has an incompetent dev (Meeh). Let's face it, he has done nothing in the last months to correct the serious problems at hand. He's not a skilled developer, not good at bringing a community together, not good at managing a team. I'm not trolling, I've been following this coin for a while and saw a lot of potential in it, but with a guy like Meeh 'running' the show there's no future in it.

Hopefully the devs will respond soon and address our four concerns above. Gnosis has been working hard on zerocoin and the RSA UFOs have been successfully generated. But more responsive devs would be good and hopefully they can put our minds to ease.

I get the feeling that this coin was abandoned long ago and the so-called devs posting recently are just pump and dump monkeys. Is it possible?
