So I have my email address set to private on GitHub, yet when I signed into tip4commit.com it grabbed my real, private email address. Since all my commits are made using the users.noreply.github.com email (since I set my real email address to private), I can't claim any of the tips I've received.
""He was the kind of person who, if you made an honest mistake, he might call you an idiot and never speak to you again," Andresen says. "Back then, it was not clear that creating Bitcoin might be a legal thing to do. He went to great lengths to protect his anonymity.""
Huh? Great lengths like using his real name? This makes no sense. If this was his real name all along how come nobody has found him yet?
This is like the twilight zone here.
It's called hiding in plain sight

Re: ***** THE ZEROCOIN SOURCE - Truly anonymous coin *****
In the meantime, as he says, Matthew Green is giving a talk on Zerocoin at the "Real World Crypto" event on Monday. Video/audio of the talk should be up soon after (I hope).
I honestly think that if you are serious about your coin and want to streamline your coin, you need to have a lightweight wallet ready to go with your launch. When I first got in to bitcoin, I skipped the client and went straight to Multibit because I didn't want to wait an eternity for my client to sync up. Also something tells me that your grandmother will not have the patience to wait for her wallet to sync up either.
Meh. I don't think it's of utmost importance to have it ready at launch, because the blockchain will be tiny and sync almost instantly. But I do agree with you in general - there definitely needs to be lightweight clients for all the altcoins eventually. I'm not exactly sure if MultiBit is easily portable for use with other altcoins, but it's definitely a great lightweight client to use as a base.

Theme song for this thread (yeah, you knew this was coming):
- zoom for any coin for 1 day, 2 day, 7 day, 15 day, 30 day, 60 day, 90 day, 180 day, 1y
He could definitely implement all those charts, though the site hasn't been up for a year yet (nor has any coin been on the site for a year, as a result) so you wouldn't be able to see the benefit of a full 1-year graph until next May at the earliest.

All you would need to do is read the Bitcoin wiki's entry on vanitygen But yes, that's all you'd need to do. As I said, privtype is addrtype + 128 (so in the case of LottoCoin, privtype would be 177, because 49 + 128 = 177), with the exception of Securecoin where it's hardcoded to 128. scriptaddrtype, as far as I know, is -1 for everything other than Bitcoin.
