Zcash, an Untraceable Bitcoin Alternative, Launches in Alpha

Bitcoin may have become the currency of choice for the anonymity-loving Internet underground. But it’s never been anonymous enough for Zooko Wilcox. As he’ll remind anyone who’ll listen, the blockchain, bitcoin’s very public ledger of all transactions in its crypto-economy, means that unless bitcoin’s users funnel it through intermediaries or special software, their transactions can easily be traced.

Great idea but I don't trust some of these partners ;D

Among sponsors of the initial research there were: Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology, U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Air Force Research Laboratory, Skolkovo Foundation and others.

Those are some serious parties to be interested in this.  Does this coin have legs?
