Very disappointed to see the switch from pure Scrypt.  I've seen coin after coin make this switch thinking they will better protect themselves or increase value.  Without a single exception, I've seen the value of all of the coins I've watched do this dramatically drop immediately after the change, maybe some have recovered that I've missed, but I've not seen one yet.  Difficulty?  Again I don't see an immediate need to fix.  51%?  Don't understand the concern for the coin...the value is so low and what could possibly be gained by controlling a coin of little value at this point... this is a rhetorical question; I understand the possibilities but I can't see it as the priority right now.

The priority has to be updating the wallet so transactions don't get stuck...job 1.
Secondly, the only long-term (or near-term) value for this coin is zerocoin.  If that doesn't get done, the coin is history.

The other things can come in time.

Do I really care?  Why?  I have stake in the coin with at least 1 account in the top 100.  I'd like to see the coin have long term viability.  I like it's charter.

It is worth a note that ANC has exceeded 306,600 and consequently a base payout of 2.5.

currently http://ancblockchain.com is down. I am working on fix.

I also am not seeing any active connections to the ANC blockchain from the windows client (and am therefore unable to sync my wallet). Could these problems be related?

They might be. Perhaps we need some working nodes to put in the conf file.

That would be great! I have not seen an update to the conf file in quite some time.

Update: I am getting some connections now to allow sync (but not many)

A new conf file would still help.

On another note, why has it been so long since meeh posted here? I can see he is still busy with privacy solutions i2p stuff. This coin still has lots of potential with its name, i2p integration and Zerocoin code progress in GitHub.

Any updates on the new hashing algorithm? How are Cryptsy deposits/withdraws working lately? I have not seen any recent posts about that either

I've had 100 ANC stuck at Cryptsy for over a month.  I submitted a ticket.  They replied with effectively, "we're not going to fix any more ANC deposit/withdraw problems until the devs fix their fundamental problem".  I can get the actual quote if anybody needs it.
