Feathercoin's Anonymous Feature!
-
Who’s working on it? ;)
I was reading some old post and began wondering why FTC never (that I’m aware of) pursued an anonymous feature. Back in 2013 it seemed most of us agreed it would be the holy grail for cryptocurrency (and we were right!). It was the number 1 requested feature by far on the (now gone?) request page.
What happened? Is there still any interest in implementing it in FTC? If so, what do we need to get it accomplished?
Once the algo change is complete … can we start thinking/talking about it again … please? 8)

Hi Tuck!
I am glad you are still here. I am runnig big poll about anonymous coins on bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568166.340
And yes anonymity is heavily discussed and very important isssue now.
Hovewer on the other side lot of coins that implemented some level of anonymity are struggeling to survive no matter how much they hype it.
Only the coins aiming for high levels are sucesfull in the short term (so far).
I am big fan of anonymity but I believe it has to be optional.
It is important to have also fully trackable transactions for normal bussiness acceptance.
As we already see new ambitious people joining us now I hope we can continue this discussion after Neoscrypt release.
Maybe in future implemeting great opensource optional anonymity will be a matter of few clicks :)

That’s good to hear and I agree. Yesterday I was reading how Adam B. Levine could not use Bitshares-X (BTSX with TITAN anon feature) for a project due to the anon feature.
Yikes, I see I voted in your poll a while back and wish I could change my vote now. :o I don’t feel the same about Darkcoin as I did back then.
The anon coins I’m behind now are Boolberry, Cloakcoin and Razorcoin while I wait for Zerocash. Neither of the three have much community support at all (compared to other coins/that I’m aware of), so there’s still time for FTC to make a move into the anon sector. We already have a large community, now we just need anon. ;)
Edit : I just came across this … http://pastebin.com/G4mH4AxR … XC’s REV1 - Encrypted Trusted Mixer. Better than nothing!? Note : This is XC’s older version of the code.

ok I will reset the poll so you can change it
Go for your favourite Tuck!

FWIW, XCurrency’s Mixer went open source, if there’s anything worth investigating there:

Should be the easy way…just adopt proven opensource solution, we don’t have to develop everything from scratch.

As governments reach more and more into our lives with surveillance, tapping, sampling, etc, etc - anonymity is going to be very important for I think most persons.

Cryptonote might also be something to look into(?). I’m bullish on a few CN coins (Boolberry in particular). I’m not sure how difficult it would be to implement that tech in FTC, but I’m sure someone here knows(?).

For those who don’t know anything about cryptonote please study this site, it is filled with good info:
+Whitepaper is good. I mean it is real whitepaper not just 2 pages with pictures :)
If we can include something like this as optional payment solution it would be great.
