Below we are excited to discuss how to claim your ANON following the snapshot! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE A METHOD YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH FROM THE LIST. There are methods that are very quick, there are methods with minimal steps, and there are methods built on convenience. The ANON team recommends using a supporting wallet (ZELTREZ) or maintaining your private keys for the fastest setting up of a master node and attaining your ANON. There were also updates to the code that will be described below along with the future viability, master node fund updates, and community governance of ANON.
Coinomi and Jaxx are examples of downloadable wallets that allow the user to possess their private keys. Coinomi has ZCL and BTC, while Jaxx only has BTC wallets available. If you prefer to keep your ZCL/BTC in these specific locations at the time of the fork you will still be able to attain your ANON. However, the process is a bit more tedious and is not automatic like using the Zeltrez wallet or an exchange (which could take extra days).
Every top 10 exchange was targeted for support and listing of ANON pre-fork. Formally we have still not been denied anywhere. However, it is very important individuals move their ZCL/BTC to a supporting exchange or wallet immediately to guarantee you do not miss the snapshot time as there will not be a delay. Exchanges (including the top 10) will continue to be targeted post fork and now their tech teams will be able to see our mainnet live which is a very important feature when they consider listing.
The ANON team has been discussing with Cryptopia how to insure we have their exchange support without their having to expose their private keys but also without having a closed premine. We have come to the novel resolution that Cryptopia will provide the ANON team with an estimation of their total ZCL and BTC prior to the fork (once ZCL has been transferred), and a 3rd UTXO will be inserted with BTC and ZCL into the ANON blockchain. This will allow for the creation of the estimated number of coins that Cryptopia will need to distribute to their traders. Cryptopia’s unexposed private key wallets holding ZCL will be burnt January 1, 2019, which means this method is unlikely to impact the total ANON circulating supply. Because Cryptopia will have to estimate the total ANON needed, the ANON team will inevitably have to generate more than the estimation incase more individuals than expected use Cryptopia. This will result in ANON being leftover and available for future tech support, to pay for a direct listing post fork, and to fund the Masternode fund (which already has 11,111 ZCL compliments of the ANON team). Breakdown of leftover ANON funds: 50% Masternode fund, 20% direct listing on exchanges, and 20% for future dev team support.
Masternodes will have the ability to decide what to do and how to spend the current ZCL in the MN fund and the new ANON in the MN fund. If they wish to spend it all on exchange listings so be it, that is the power of decentralization and voting.
This will position ANON’s masternodes with funding for the future while guaranteeing Cryptopia’s support for the fork. However, this leads to a final discussion about the coin burn in January. The ANON team is going to let the community and MNs vote on whether they want to ‘revive’ any percent of the burnt coins January 1, 2019. This will be one of the first proposals decided through the voting and MN system. With the majority of BTC holders likely to not collect their ANON there will be millions of ANON being burned in January. If the masternode holders decide, a portion of those millions of coins can be revived on the burn date.
This decision the team has decided would be best to leave to the future community and masternode holders of ANON. Make sure to collect your ANON and set up a masternode so you can help us decide…should a percentage of the burned coins in January be revived so the masternode fund will have more crypto for ANON’s future or should we keep supply lower?
This decision will be one of the first (if not the first) decided through our on chain voting!!
