ANON is an innovative cryptocurrency with rich incentives for the community of users who invest and participate in its project. ANON has come as a revolution in the cryptocurrency industry to impact positively on the community. ANON originated as a fork from two known crypto currencies - Bitcoin and ZClassic. It is an advancement of the technology of both the Bitcoin and ZClassic blockchain through a co-fork of both cryptocurrencies. The incredible advancements in security and privacy of Bitcoin and ZClassic protocols, which is undeniable, has facilitated ANON to create a dual fork combining the best of both coins. A 2:1 ratio of ANON will be provided to holders of ZClassic (ZCL), while a 1:1 ratio of ANON will be provided to holders of Bitcoin (BTC).
It is noteworthy that Bitcoin is only pseudo anonymous and lacks transparent governance. However, by introducing ZK- snarks and master nodes to the blockchain technology, the privacy and speed of transactions will be enhanced appreciably.
ANON is a pioneering project with strong growth potentials. ANON core principles are as follows:
True Anonymity
It has been observed that bitcoin blockchain no longer offer privacy transactions as earlier envisaged. The lack of privacy in bitcoin transactions gave rise to this wonderful project. ANON intends to solve this dilemma posed to consumers who desire to carry out transactions anonymously. ANON aims to create an ecosystem where individuals can transact confidently, and anonymously.
By utilizing MIT's tested zkSNARK's (the most secure privacy protocol to date) on the Bitcoin blockchain through a hard fork will afford those holding BTC the ability to transact anonymously using their newly forked ANON. MIT's tested zkSNARK's offers zero-knowledge proof’s shielded transactions. One of the important objectives of ANON is to build a secure cryptocurrency with privacy features.
Masternodes
ANON platform will benefit the community by providing means of investment on the platform. This means of investment is known as running masternodes. Masternode is simply a cryptocurrency full node (or computer wallet) that keeps the full copy of the blockchain in real-time (it is always up and running). Masternodes, however, are considerably different in their functionality than normal nodes. Apart from just keeping the full blockchain and relaying blocks/transactions as a full node does (for example Bitcoin, Litcoin, etc.), they perform several other functions. Some of the special functions that masternodes perform are:
(1) Increasing privacy of transactions
(2) Undertakes instant transactions
(3) Contributing in decision making/voting
(4) Helps in planning in cryptocurrency system, etc.
Masternodes is an important platform for cryptocurrency investors because by running a masternode, the cryptocurrency investor is incentivized. That is, the investment can be regarded as a smart passive income. To be able to run a masternode you are required to lock up (stake) the coins in the for a fixed period of time (a kind of fixed deposit) 
So naturally, it becomes very less likely that a masternode operator will cheat because he has a stake in running the whole system and even if he chooses to do so he will be penalized in the form of devaluation of their own investments (possessions). ANON provide the ability to stake coins, incentivizing long term holders and allowing for extra income over time. ANON masternodes will also have control protocols, allowing users to assess how the economy will be in the future. Basically, individuals holding BTC will also be afforded the opportunity to stake their ANON, allowing for a daily return based on the total number of masternodes held, and the number of transactions on the blockchain. Masternodes, coupled with a freshly reformed community, will provide a backbone and support structure for ANON’s use. A 35 percent block reward allocated to masternode holders is a great incentive for holding - increasing the long term benefit of community members. ANON supports masternodes which are able to earn rewards over time by simply offering full node services and posting collateral as a measure against sybil attacks.
The provision of key features such as masternodes and complete anonymity implies that ANON project is poised to succeed.
Community Cryptocurrency
Community plays a vital role in the development of any cryptocurrency. The community contributes immensely to the growth of cryptocurrency. ANON, therefore, considers it of utmost importance to involve community in its activities in such a way that it benefits the community as well as become a trusted investment platform. Being community driven is reciprocity. ANON prioritizes the benefits its platform has on the community. True anonymity, masternodes, real decentralization, transparency among other benefits are rewards ANON platform offers to its community. By reciprocity, the community supports the ANON platform by investing/ having a stake in the cryptocurrency. Ideas from the community on ANON social channels shall be considered to improve on the platform. ANON marketing strategy shall effectively communicate to the community such that newbies in the cryptocurrency industry will understand the blockchain technology as well as impact community view on privacy. The future of ANON depends on the community, the market adoption and the team. ANON team comprises a powerful development and social administration team to help build a healthy and strong community, which will aid in market adoption. ANON team works towards fostering a vibrant community, incorporating great technology, assembling a highly competent set of advisors, and preparing for the future advancements, the team is working very hard towards the success of ANON to take it into the future.
Community acceptance is crucial for any cryptocurrency to be successful. ANON’s masternodes and complete anonymity demonstrate clear incentive for joining the community. Utility of an underlying coin is very important, but it is similarly important to share the project’s purpose and existence with the crypto community and wider public population. This will bring new individuals into the crypto space, while also educating those in the space about the existence of a revolutionary project. ANON’s true utility is shown by the coins similarity to bitcoin but with more features, such as being truly anonymous and the ability to earn returns through masternodes. This demonstrates the coins utility as well as its likelihood to be quickly adopted by the community of crypto enthusiasts.
Real Decentralization
ANON mining shall be strictly GPU. ANON will remain ASIC resistant. This will allow for additional decentralisaztion among the community. The ability of ANON to remain AISC resistance will be evident either by altering the current Equihash algorithm, or by incorporating a new algo' entirely. ANON development teams shall work together to figure out how best to tackle and resist the new AISC miners. From the date of fork onwards, ANON guarantees it will work to remain AISC resistant as long as it is the community’s concensus. ANON uses equihash, a Proof-of-Work algorithm.
Decentralization is the fundamental principle of blockchain. The decentralized control of each cryptocurrency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database. To be decentralised means to be withdrawn from a center or place of concentration; especially having power or function dispersed from a central to local authorities. It is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group. A blockchain is a decentralised public ledger which allows the transfer of money between different entities on a network without the need for a central authority to verify the transaction (i.e. a Bank, government etc..). First of all, the decentralization of a blockchain hosting the ledger means that it is not processed by and thus entrusted in a central entity who might have self-interest in manipulating the data. Similarly so, the encrypted nature of blockchain technology means that any smart contract example and its history is permanently embedded into blockchain and any outside manipulation will be noticed and corrected by other nodes on the network. This helps all parties benefit from the trustless nature of the infrastructure. Any tampering would require huge amounts of computing power and would not be financially or logistically viable.
Exchange Support
Exchange listing and support is very important, as it is the only way to provide liquidity to those looking to buy and sell the newly forked ANON coin. ANON team have taken steps to ensure that the platform is listed on numerous exchanges. The ANON development team have been founded ahead of time to ensure work on the listing is carried out. ANON team are continuously at work to ensure that holders of ANON are able to exchange and utilize their coin. Utilizing our elaborate network, ANON is in discussions with top volume exchanges. Currently, ANON is trading on Safe Trade (https://www.safe.trade/), Trade Satoshi ( https://tradesatoshi.com/), and Cryptopia (https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/). ANON attention is on the exchanges that focus on the largest by total volume, which will provide the exposure and ease of access that can only assist in rapidly building the ANON community. ANON provides an ever expanding network of high profile influencers and advisors, top exchange listings, far-reaching publicity and revolutionary technology. These factors, among others, are reasons for the community adoption of ANON.
Transparency
ANON have set the standard of how crypto currency fork and other projects should be in the future. Its transparency path throughout the entire fork process from the start of the project till date implies that ANON is poised to build trust on the community, a community of loyal supporters and adopters. ANON development team will embrace transparency and carry the community along as the crypto currency grows.
ANON: The Future
Cryptocurrency is emerging gradually to be a new form of exchange to standard payment processing systems. Cryptocurrency will be a revolution in the financial system. ANON shall play a significant role in the commercial sector of the world economy by establishing itself as major peer-to-peer payment system. The most significant role of ANON will be in transacting personal, retail, and commercial transfer of digital capital. incentives, like complete anonymity and masternode stakability, among others, will be added reasons individuals choose to transact using ANON over alternatives. There are a vast number of additional potential use cases that will present themselves to ANON in the future. These will be incorporated either organically, or by masternode voting processes as ANON evolves. The ANON team are made of individuals with great potentials that will take ANON to greater heights. Publicizing ANON across multiple platforms will solidify its presence and complement its foundation. The team is having conferences across the globe to increase ANON publicity and acceptance. Specifically, ANON Founder, Jake Greenbaum, and Lead Developer, Sam Abbassi, have traveled across continents to speak to other developers and influencers, to make ANON presence felt globally.
