Not to mention its ran by an American company, which is totally illogical for a coin which is supposed to be privacy focused.  And that the founder tweeted they could make Zcash traceable for criminals.

Zcash claiming to be anonymous annoyed me to the point I even started a thread trying to get Zcash enthusiasts to dispute all the faults I felt it had..  In my opinion, none of them could/did: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2085940.msg20877048

Thanks for posting this, some interesting points raised.

Apologies, you're right.  I have done some research, but wanted to see some other sites my fellow crypto guys might know about, and also spread the word about how Zcash is fatally flawed.

Not a single response to dispute any of the facts, pretty damning evidence if you ask me.

Thanks for the responses.  Even though I agree Monero is far superior, I think that moneroforcash.com might be a bit biased.  Is there a more credible source detailing these facts?

Many thanks.  I actually posted this originally in a Zcash thread, and literally got 0 responses.  I know for sure there are a large number of Zcash supporters watching this board, so the fact that none of them can refute any of my claims pretty much confirm in my mind they are all true.

So does Monero suffer from the same insecurities Zcash does?  Could you please elaborate a little?

I am by no stretch of the imagination a cryptography genius.  I have however been following and speculating on the crypto currency market since Bitcoin was worth a couple of dollars.

Can someone please explain to me why people still think Zcash is a good thing?  Please dispute the following facts, because from my layman understanding of the situation its worthless:

"The ceremony used a multi-party computation protocol with the property that the resulting parameters are secure unless all of the participants were dishonest or compromised during the ceremony."

Anything that relies on trust is fundamentally flawed.

"And by the way, I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible." - Zooko Wilcox, ZCash founder.

The founder talking about making Zcash traceable in certain instances, rendering the whole concept fundamentally flawed.

Alphabay goes down the same moment they were supposedly implementing Zcash.  Whether you believe in coincidences or not, its certainly is very suspicious.

ZCash is run by an American company with American investors.  Conceptually, to me, this is a fundamentally flawed approach to privacy focused digital currency.

Can someone please dispute these facts?  I'm not even some super knowledgeable crypto guy..  If no ones even attempting to dispute its pretty damning evidence.

I've heard from several reliable sources that HitBTC are selective scamming their users, avoid like the plague.

Contrary to popular opinion I quite like HitBTCs user access.. which browser are you using?  Fine on Chrome.

The fact these pieces of shit who try and scam the naive masses don't promote XMR is a good thing in my books.

Do you know something we don't?! 

smooth has some serious skillz, I have faith 

Have you seen how cheap you can buy Aeon on HitBTC?!  i've heavily stocked up.

Aeon, smooth is an excellent developer and applies all Monero updates to Aeon.  Heavily encrypted.  HitBTC is selling them for half the market value for some reason!

You can buy ridiculously cheap Aeon on HitBTC right now..  way below market price.  Once Bittrex fix the wallet the price will jump up high.

Aeon.  smooth is an excellent developer and applies all Monero's features to it, and its more lightweight.  HitBTC selling them for incredibly cheap right now, practically half the Bittrex price.  Once the Bittrex wallet is fixed the price will surge.

Aeon.  You can currently buy them much cheaper on HitBTC, once the wallet is fixed on Bittrex the price will sky rocket.

Dude that was my secret of buying cheap Aeon, why'd you have to tell everybody 

Monero is the only coin worth buying.. see what happened to Alphabay?  Encrypted coin is key..

If the main developer is saying that.. pretty damning evidence
