ANONYMOUS COIN (ANON)
what is Anon?
ANON is a cryptocurrency embodying the zk-SNARKs privacy protocol with staking ability. Their team has blockchain architects, advanced developers, coders, journalists and even attorneys to guarantee deadlines and regulations are adhered to. By having a team with multiple personalities and backgrounds creates the benefit of having a knowledge base from all intellectual spaces. So few teams venture outside of the standard blockchain realm to bring in other intellects.
As expected ANON has brought together blockchain architects and coders, but also intellectuals who are more concerned with the future economy of ANON than the underlying code. By having a team that is focused on delineated tasks while all coming from different backgrounds, ANON can excel where others have failed. ANON has chosen the route of transparency through the entire forking process. By doing so, the coin looks to set the standard for how forks and crypto projects take place in the future. By being transparent from the start of the project through the fork date and future ecosystem.
They have selected the ticker ANON, this reflects their ethos, and reminds their stakeholders of the highest truth- that transactions truly are Anonymous. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have evolved dramatically over the past few years. Bitcoin (BTC) was the first real “brand”, and has since captivated the hearts and minds of all crypto-enthusiasts.
However, BTC’s underlying technology has been around for ten years, and debates over its relevance and specific utility have emerged in the community. Bitcoin has high fees, slow transaction speeds, centralized mining outlets and lack of privacy features that have created forking-opportunities like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Private (BTCP).
Unfortunately, prior forks have fallen short of expectations, and herein ANON looks to excel. They intended to accomplish wide Market adoption, exchange listings, deliverables, a strong community, and team professionalism. The Anonymous team has meticulously monitored each step of prior forks of both BTC and ZCL, we understand their mistakes. Where others have faltered in their fork attempts, ANON will be successful ANON’s superiority lies in its adoption of ZCL’s zk-SNARKs privacy technology — an MIT created privacy technology for transactions. As the debate rages between Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, As the debate rages between Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, ANON decided on a nice middle ground of Proof of Work with masternodes, coupled with zk-SNARKs technology.
Staking Process
Staking will allow both miners and masternode holders to be rewarded for their contributions to the network. A collateral amount of 100 coins will be required to maintain a masternode on the ANON network. The distribution of the block reward will be 65% to the miners and 35% to the masternodes. 3 The only way to participate in this fork and receive ANON is by being in possession of the underlying BTC and ZCL cryptocurrencies. Hodlers participating in the ANON fork will receive 1:1 ratio on September 10, 2018. The circulating supply at the time of the fork will be about 24M, the max total supply of ANON will be 31.5M.
Forking Methodology
The way they approach all ANON architecture and forking execution is informed by the learning experiences they’ve gained observing the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. Cryptocurrency provides a wealth of live experiments in economics, game theory, and incentive structure. Not utilizing these extensive examples would be underutilizing the greatest available resource to cryptocurrency developers. The first relevant example of this methodology is how it applies to our rollout and forking. After studying various prominent examples of forks such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Private, and even ZCash itself, they’ve determined the optimal approach to achieving our goals while facilitating the quickest possible bootstrap of our new ANON ecosystem. The fork of ZCL and BTC will take place September 10, 2018. A 1:1 ratio of ANON for every ZCL or BTC held on September 10th at 8:00 PM EST will be provided. The team is anticipating potentially moving this date forward as they are ahead of schedule currently. A snapshot of both the ZCL and BTC blockchain will take place at precisely 8:00 PM EST. Once the snapshot has been captured, the ANON team will announce its success via the social media channels.

By analyzing past forks and their missteps, the Anonymous Bitcoin team has developed a technology-centered roadmap, a transparent development process, in addition to building the necessary network, platform, and relationships to ensure market adoption takes place. We all are ANON.
What makes ANON better than previous forks?
Previous forks lack a very important factor — significant market adoption. With an emphasis on privacy, the addition of staking abilities and a multi-tiered marketing strategy, ANON will be able to deliver in places where previous forks fell short. We are incorporating known technological benefits with our media teams ability to effectively communicate a story. ANON aims to reach those inside and outside of the existing crypto community.

Holders of ZCL will recieve a 2:1 ratio of anon, and BTC will receive a 1:1 ratio of ANON
