Bitcoin Alternative ZCash Offers Anonymity And Law Enforcement Surveillance Protection

 Even though Wilcox claims his startup is not aimed at making illegal activities easier for criminals, he is quick to note how his company will not be liable for ZCash applications in a criminal environment.

Bitcoin has often been touted as an untraceable and anonymous digital currency, even though it is neither at its core. Strangely enough, mainstream media has forgotten all about the headlines they wrote until a few weeks ago, as an untraceable Bitcoin alternative has launched. ZCash looks to bring anonymity to the digital currency ecosystem, making it perfect for those who wish to use it on underground online marketplaces.

Remember "DigiCash"?


I don't see what ZCash will offer that isn't already offered by SDC, DASH or another coin.
