Which one among these two highly anonymous coins is more reliable, efficient, more secure to use. in fact, which one is your take and why?

I would prefer to Monero (XMR), because it is more comfortable and safe. In my function, I think it is a full anonymous cryptocurrency (privacy). You can research more details about Monero in your own way. Good luck !

I voted for Monero. Both Monero and ZCash provide privacy, although in a different way. However, only Monero has privacy by default. In Zcash you would have to switch to z-addresses if you want privacy. As far as I know, only 5 percent of all transactions on the ZEC blockchain are between z-addresses. It means that Zcash is not being used as a privacy coin that much. I think Monero has a stronger community and a better use case. Being a de facto standard when it comes to totally private transactions, Monero is clearly the better coin, more reliable, more efficient and secure.  

Monero is my take. It has larger usage, privacy and nice supply too. Moreso, it has maintained the top 10 for long, while zcash is still in the 20s. For Zcash, I don't think they have a stronger community network .

if I choose monero myself because I believe that later monero will increase in price because this coin has good potential

Why everybody is suggesting Monero?  I heard Zcash is also a great privacy oriented coin 🔥👈👍👏👌🙌

I've been looking at crypto money charts lately. The Monero chart looks very strong. I think it's my vote for Monero.

there are indeed many anonymous coins or privacy available today, but monero is an anonymous coin pioneer and I am sure everyone also agrees to keep choosing them rather than other anonymous coins.

Monero, easy choice.

In ZCash, the principle of “proof with zero disclosure” is used, while in Monero the secrecy of transactions is ensured by the obfuscation method — entangling the transfer history. Given that ZCash has a higher degree of secrecy, this currency is better than Monero in terms of confidentiality.

Maybe you guys should start with searching a little more. One possible point to start with would be this post (or its entire thread) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2011221.msg20059904#msg20059904
So, yeah, Monero is the easy answer, although there are plenty of (anon) Cryptonote coins nowadays, or Byteball's BlackBytes which are all pretty well anonymous.

Both projects are really very good, but after the speech Vitaly Buterin, I began to doubt that the ZCash project can really hide everything, so far as Monero is concerned, everything seems to be clear there, but it is not clear about ZCash

Analysis of the pros and cons of ZCash and Monero shows that in 3 out of 5 points, such as anonymity of transactions, the possibility of mining on the GPU, and protection against inflation, ZCash wins. And this is despite the fact that ZEC appeared only at the end of 2016, while Monero exists from spring 2014. Therefore, we can say that ZCash now looks better and more promising.

In theory, Zcash has a lot of potential because of the power of zero-proof transactions. However, its security factor is not used in most transactions.
In contrast, Monero's transactions are the anonymous default, encouraging them to use more and secure more on the network. So i prefer Monero than Zcash.

If you look at the charts in the bear market condition, the Monero looks much preferable! My vote for Monero !

Monero is the only of these two that are truly fungible, Zcash also suffers from the possibility that the ceremony key holders are artificially inflating the supply in secret, nobody would know as we can't tell the total supply. Monero all the way because it's also accepted on far more websites too, which is what I usually use when buying with crypto.

Personally i prefer zcash from these two, i think zcash is a better and advanced version of privacy coins and it has a long way to go, recently ethereum leader has also stated that they can use zcash technology to upgrade eth which is very encouraging for zcash.

Monero I think today is the most confidential coin and Monero has a more serious community which makes it strong.Monero provide 100% privacy. I vote for Monero.

If you want to invest your money, i suggest you to invest your money on monero than Zchas. Because monero has good project and good developer for grow in the future, that's why i suggest you to invest in. But you must be patient for get more profit.

Personally, I think monero is more anonymous than zcash because monero uses built-in mixing technology.

Both of them have privacy and they are both good. But if you talk of which one has more of privacy then I think that’s Monero. But I’m not the kind of person that considers privacy as a reason for choosing a coin I don’t do illegal business so that doesn’t matter to me at all. If we are not talking about privacy then I will probably chooseZcash instead of Monero. I do have reasons why I said I would choose ZEC.

Privacy coins. Amongst of this type of coin, Monero is the best.
With the reliance of most into privacy coins, we do have our merits and demerits for these coins.
I'd say that Monero will never be replaced as the best priv coin.

Both of them are about anonymous currency.Each has its own characteristics.I don't know which one is better.but I prefer monero.Because the people who use it are the most.

There are a lot of anonymous coins on the crypto market, and one is very difficult to choose. Last year there were mining viruses that mined a moner directly on a computer, and it was not for nothing that everyone did it, which means monero is more promising in the long run. Ordinary people do not need such coins, they can be used in dark current affairs and we have enough ethereum for transactions.

I would vote for monero if I was doing any sort of buying at all between these two, unfortunately I do not. Hence, from someone who is outside of these communities and do not care about neither of these two I can clearly say my vote is as objective as it gets.

Right now, monero is more known, zcash is known a bit too but monero has been around more probably ( I assume, not sure) and I at least heard about it more. I know its a "secrecy coin" type of thing and it works with mining via your cpu and not gpu like other coins which means mining is harder which I think makes it better against 51% attacks.

I think that today projects that position themselves as anonymous will, in any case, be forced to do something in the area of ​​anonymity, because today such projects must remain anonymous and they will definitely be in demand.

Both Monero and Zcash is equiped with proper amount of privacy. Monero is fungible, whereas zcash has more wallet support system.

between monero and zcash I personally prefer monero, both from the potential of the koinya have proven its superiority and many of its communities. see the list on coinmarketcap that monero ranking is superior to zcash. so I think Monero is better than zcash.

Both are very good anonymous Crypto project but I will go for Zcash. Zcash was created to work on the inefficiciecies of Monero. Zcash is a better and an improve form of privacy coin.

If it wanted true anonymity I wouldn't choose any of them, but as an investment they are equally good. Monero has the dark markets to thank, and ZCash is being pumped to due high profile backers. There are better privacy coins at the lower end of the market caps DYOR

I voted for Monero as well as it's the only coin that is privacy by default.
Due to it's low supply, it will eventually rise again.

I was more interested in Moreno, because I had read an article, Team Monero was still intensely doing development. so I'm sure Monero is still strong enough to be used.

These are both very interesting coins. And in order not to choose between them, I bought both ;D

Monero would still be the best option for privacy coin. Zcoin is also a good coin but if you will prefer a single one then go for monero.

But having both is also fine if you would love to expand privacy set on your portfolio with these coins.

Monero I believe is a good coin, and is ideal for people who appreciate the complete anonymity of the transactions it provides to its owners. This is quite an interesting and popular coin, and I can suggest that this coin will grow over time and can bring profit to those who invest in it.

ZCash and Monero analysis shows that the anonymity of transactions, the possibility of mining and protection against inflation are almost the same for both coins. However, I would have passed them, with regard to investment in them. Too they depend on the price of Bitcoin.

I think maybe Monero is more anonymous, even though actually between Monero and Zcash, they offer very good privacy with different characteristics. When compared, Zcash is more theoretical because it uses zero evidence systematically to obscure transaction details.
While Monero is more practical and complete, because it uses cryptography to obscure the source of funds, hiding the number of transactions and destination addresses.

Monero because it has a higher market cap $755k vs Zcash $308k.
Came across this article just a little earlier,

CRIMINALS GRABBED AT LEAST 4.3 PERCENT OF ALL MONERO COINS ON THE MARKET
https://www.coinnewsspan.com/criminals-grabbed-at-least-4-3-percent-of-all-monero-coins-on-the-market/

Monero and Zcash are all two anonymous coins which I really like. aforetime, when Zcash hasn't listed on Coinbase, Monero is more popular than Zcash, but now Zcash gradually overcome Monero about the favourite

It depends on why are choosing? If you are looking for a privacy based cryptocurrency, Monero is better than zcash. I think even DeepOnion is better than zcash. But if you are looking for an investment on privacy coin, zcash have a good chances of returning at least 20x within this year. Also, DeepOnion is better because it's quite cheap now.

I prefer Monero, because in my opinion this coin more secure and she has a bright future!

From my point of view, these projects have the opportunity to further develop, because today there is already a need to use anonymous coins, because everywhere they are already beginning to demand verification.

Monero and zcash both are private coins but monero is more popular than zcash in terms of anonymity and more adoption in the market

I would bet on monero, since it is better in my opinion, but look at coinmarketcap and their marketcap is almost the same, they are really close, their graphs are looking pretty much the same, so one can conclude that both coins have similar support in the community

Monero certainly is reliable than Zcash as it is faster to use, more practical, and captures higher market cap than Zcash.

I’m still pick monero subject privacy-coin.

Both Zcash and Monero use the (PoW) consensus mechanism, there are fundamental differences between how both platforms have implemented their respective network management protocols.

Improvements on present Bitcoin its main-zcash this from zerocoin protocol. well, which is an initiative that aims to improve the anonymity of bitcoin transactions and is built off of the Bitcoin Core codebase.

It depends for what you need this coin. If you want to make more private and secret transactions, buy monero. But if you want to invest on long-term, buy zcash. It's less volatile and as for me more ambitious.

thats right...depending it need each individual prefer to where, but I like monero than zcash. so because for me their development very interesting to following

Every day on the network, I understand more and more that talking about anonymous payments is becoming more and more valuable. Therefore, I would speak of these projects as promising investments.

Monero is different from some crypto currencies in general. Addresses previously related to unwanted activities (eg hacking, fraud, illegal funds, etc.) can be entered into the Blacklist so that the owner of the funds, wallet, or coins, cannot make transactions again.

It is a difficult choice because both have enormous potential to be among the 8 cryptocurrencies, but currently the most reliable is Monero and Zcash will be the most efficient, I say this because this situation of angel investors reflects prices a lot, some miners and investors do not initials know that it is not interesting to inflate the price precisely because there are people ready to dump at any price!

I prefer Monero and think that this coin is a future of all anonymous coins. But if crypto currencies will face the mass adoption I am afraid that it would be the first coin that would be restricted by governments.

Absolutely monero. tHis project convinces me more. It also comes more reliable than the other. I think Monero will be more developed. After a while, it will be one of the important projects and it will bring more to its investors.

Definitely monero, zcash is faulty tech. Xmr has much better security and acceptance.

Choosing monero will be better as monero is one of the oldest coins in the cryptocurrency and monero is used in the darkweb too. Monero can increase higher, and if I am not wrong, in 2017 ago, monero was not increased too higher, and the chance for monero to break the higher price will be wide open. But if you have much money, you can buy zcash too so you will have two expensive coins and who knows, zcash can increase higher like before.

From my point of view, most of the hackers today make their preference precisely in favor of the Monero project. Therefore, I think that I, too, will believe these smart guys and will not think that they are making a mistake. Therefore, I think it is Monero.

if you only give 2 choices, maybe I prefer to have Zcash instead of having monero because with Zcash which has a very limited total supply and I am sure if the supply coin is limited then the price can be very expensive and will provide benefits for you.

I prefer zcash, I think in the future it will be in the top five, because I have done an analysis and study, you should make the same observation before investing

There's no need for an option if its between these two anonymous coins. The choice of majority will always go to:

• Monero

I would definitely vote for Monero because it is an anonymous coin and for anonymous coins the future of the cryptocurrency market

Monero and Zcash is good coin with big daily transaction volume and its liquid investment. But monero already more popular than Zcash, but i think invest on both coin is good investment if we hold it for long term

I like both Monero and Zcash, but I prefer Monero if I have to choose between both coins. I like the technology behind and the community support is really strong. IMO, Monero has the potential to grow further.

Monero has a better capitalization than Zchas, but for Zcash there is a good increase in value and a development that is also undoubted. Investing in these two coins will also be good and the future is also good.

Between the two coins, monero and zcash, I am more inclined to choose monero, in my opinion monero is more popular than zcash, I am sure monero will grow more rapidly in the future and certainly more people will invest in this monero

Many people tend to Monero, coins that have good development and still exist, I also choose Monero even though the value is down and still have hope that it will increase.

Out of the two I like Monero

But Mimblewimble tech seem to be taking some of their market share.

I'll go for Monero as it's designed with privacy by default. It's also still CPU mineable. The privacy that XMR offers is really awesome.

I think both Monero and Zcash are both good coins, but in terms of their development, Monero might be better than Zcash, Monero is better known and has the potential to become an investment in the future.

Moreno is still a popular coin because it can be mined and collected better. With current developments, it is quite good and certainly has a more crowded market capitalization than Zcash in this red market.

Of course I choose Monero. The coin provides actual privacy than is different from many others in this market, also has community support, and for me is more reliable in terms of further development.

it's better to go with the flow, more people are using monero.  darknet market are using monero also.  i guess that makes monero more valuable than zcash.  but you have an option to keep some zcash as they are quite cheap now.  when they go bull, you will gain some.  but keep more of your funds in monero.

Mimblewimble will need lots of development to prove itself.  Monero will for sure use it as a sidechain.

personally i prefer monero that is anonymous almost to 100% zcash is not anonymous by default you have to pass on z-addresses and maybe costs even a little more

It seems to me that now there is no definitive answer to this question. Personally, I think that the value of the Monero project actually has much more serious opportunities. While I can not say exactly what I would choose.

Monero is a coin for real anonymity. Not so long ago, I began to study the Zcash project and realized that this project is not entirely transparent, so my opinion in this dispute definitely wins Monero. I think that this is the right choice.

In my opinion monero xmr is more prominent than zcas zec seen from the launch in coinmarketcap monero with trust and selection to invest..

Easily monero because it has privacy by default. Most of the transactions on zcash are open so even if you turn on privacy for zec it won't be implemented properly as others haven't turned it on. Stick with XMR for now

It seems to me that today we are still experiencing the period when many users of cryptocurrency store their assets in the hope of a good profit and compare last year’s price levels with today's ones. But it seems to me that most altcoins and certain coins will lose their relevance in some time. We need to focus on Bitcoin and ethereum, as well as on those projects that are in demand in society and already have a real product.

I prefer Monero, because of its anonymity. I hope this coin would continue its development and as soon as we will reach the mass adoption is not going to be banned by governments. Lets hope for the better future of XMR.

Judging by how often Monero used for malicious miners, the output itself is nappasive. Monero is really safe and anonymous if you need it.

Well Monero is mined by bots because its algo is CPU friendly. Also algo is at least 2/3 of time ASIC resistant. This is what matters most compared to ZCash. Compared to other coins it matters volumes on exchanges. So bot operators can exchange coins with ease.

each project will be used to one degree or another for certain purposes, if it is beneficial for someone. If the coins are anonymous and give the opportunity to use for fraudsters, then they will be relevant precisely in that field of human activity. But if some kind of coin is safe for big business, then its development will depend on investments from big business.

Confidentiality and anonymity on the one hand, of course, is good, but you have to understand what consequences this pulls. For the underworld, "Monero" will be the best way to pay.

Last news about ZCash vulnerability that allowed to produce as many coins as you want will influence this project a lot. Monero is much reliable project than ZEC. Also I like monero tech side much more.

I think with the onset of regulation in these markets, anonymous currencies will be banned, so this is a very dangerous asset for investment. But I chose the zcash for it is more common.

I will vote for Monero, as this coin was originally created as a privacy coin. Unfortunately, I think that Monero will not be able to achieve high peaks, as It is not so necessary coin.

It is too amazing when the easy question like this that can receive 5 merits. Merit's system still has many issue to discuss  ;D

monero is used as one of the best choices, we know that Monero's potential has been in the altcoin position which has the best price. so I think Monero is the best choice

I will choose MONERO because it has more liquidity than Zcash, more liquidity means you can buy or sell it anytime.
And you can mining Monero with your CPU because it using cryptonight algorithm, different with Zcash which has Equihash algo to be mined.

Monero may have some lead over Zcash in the privacy features but that could be matched by Zcash in time. Zcash circulating supply is currently  about a third of Monero so that could help it with better gains over Monero. In any case, both these can be considered as the two top most privacy coins so you will do fine by owning both.

Maybe all these projects actually have something in themselves, but I think that such anonymous coins can in fact be developed by special services. I think that this should seriously affect the belief in anonymity.

Monero fell very much, they say that it is possible it will gain popularity, but not yet a fact, but Zecash is a very promising asset, which is not much, and they say that for such projects the future is certainly in it to put and consider it, I would buy it myself, the asset is not very much appreciated yet

Well, now I certainly prefer cash , for me it is much better than monero , because a lot of my friends uses cash and never yet tseliteli

The choice is obvious, I bought both projects, because very soon they will have a very high cost. You have to understand that now people have a very large number of transactions that you don’t want to show. But it definitely should not be a loophole for bad things.

 I choose and believe about zcash .i look first time list on exchange zcash have good price till now.and it stay at big price better than monero.i think zcash always to be stable coin and stay at high price at cryptoworld.

If I choose between these two coins, I choose the monsoon for mine. A few new coins of this type have been launched. They can have nice price increases in the future.

And there is no doubt that monero, the first coin of confidentiality with a good and reliable future and, most importantly, is distinguished by stability and good profit.

In my opinion Both offer very good privacy, but are completely different. Monero is more practical (specifically addressing known issues), Zcash more theoretical and opt-in.

But personally i will go for monero because
The best part about Monero is that it is fungible and you have complete control over your currency and transactions.

From an investment perspective, even if you personally do not require privacy and anonymity in your transactions, it is undeniable that a significant chunk of the world’s market desire it. This makes investing in Monero a fairly obvious decision.

I’ve got a large collection of cryptos, but Monero has always been my fav. I can’t call it the most stable one, yet, I’ve never had any big disappointments with this currency.

Personally, I am satisfied in all respects with Monero, especially since I am sure that the coin will be further developed!

We forked from Monero because it's really more anonymous than zcash and we respect dev and Monero's idea. Hope in next upcoming update they'll fix hashrate issues  :)

A trader will pick zcach over monero because of its liquidity . I also like its volatility.

I am prefer Monero, because xmr devs, show us how to need keep chain from asics

how many your bought merit ?

When you cant link transactions that makes coin fungible. So you all coins are the same. That makes you have zero fear accepting them from just anyone. Because you know that they cant be tainted and are worth exactly 1 Monero.  With coins that have transparent ledger and you can link transactions you will have to be super careful to not get lets say a coin that was used by Maduro. Because then you cant spend that coin in USA since they dont like Maduro. And no one will want that coin from you except some will give you half of a nontainted coin. THIS IS MAIN VALUE of Monero. Is sad so many dont get it.

In this pair, I would choose monero, but to say that I strongly trust this coin, then of course not. Now it's probably worth looking more at altcoins which show signs of life and who have bursts of growth, then you can earn on these waves.
