A lot of people don't trust or respect the Anon branding. My personal view is indifferent but I do admire some of their work. Although there is a lot of uneducated and ignorant people waving that mask around even if it is with the best intentions. Using official Anon branding may backfire, but it could also pay off if you get a lot of their hardcore supporters onboard with this project. I've mentioned Anoncoin to a few of my hardcore crypto friends for a good while now and some of them are really put off by the fact that Anoncoin uses the official Anon branding.

https://twitter.com/TheAnonMessage had 83,600 followersuntil they got yanked yesterday.

https://twitter.com/Crypt0nymous has 94,300 followers.

https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews has 1,200,000 followers.

And past articles like 2012 http://crooksandliars.com/diane-sweet/anonymous-beats-reddit-win-time-100-po show the collective has quite a lot of grass roots.

Are your friends put off by what exactly?

I think that they are put off by the fact that Anonymous leaked the wrong name of the police officer in Ferguson. That is a pretty serious screw up.

Do you understand that Anonymous is not a group? The only people who try to encourage others to perceive anonymous as a group are those that are trying to discredit it.

Hi Matthew,

Please see the FAQ. Anoncoin is not directly associated with Anonymous. The logo has been changed, which will be updated elsewhere once Zerocoin is implemented and the new web site goes live.

A person has to laugh. Do you understand that Anonymous is not a group? And also that most people who hold anoncoin do so for its use of the Anonymous symbol, not for anything to do with zerocoin? You are destroying any value anoncoin has.
