5 Of The Most Undervalued Privacy Coins

In a bear market it may seem strange to some to go hunting for alts to buy while everyone’s panic selling. I would argue that this is actually a very good time to go shopping around. There’s many coins at lows we may not see again when the market turns bullish.

No-one knows for sure whether or not the bleeding’s stopped, but as BTC has returned to the price it was before the crazy winter ’17 pump, it’s likely that many inexperienced investors (who’ve gotten cold-feet from recent, high-profile and calculated FUD) have now been shaken out and we’ll see a recovery soon. Cryptos are not going anywhere. Though the media, banks and governments would like them to disappear; the genie is out of the bottle now.

In this blog I’ll concentrate specifically on Privacy coins.

All decent coins are undervalued at the moment just because they all follow BTC drop. You could put any coin in you article a be right lol.
I dont understand why you would put Verge as number 2. It just exploded thanks to agressive marketing and mass effect imo. I dont see what makes it so special...

Verge's Wraith Protocol is basically a bad copy of Shadowcash's privacy setup, sorry if it sounds like hating but hear me out!

Shadowcash setup was using ring signatures + stealth addresses as early as 2014 (I hear even as early as late 2013 but that I am not 100% sure). What Wraith Protocol proposes is only stealth addresses (which by the way only hides tx participants, not the amounts transferred), then they claim that they are "fathering" the privacy-as-an-option niche of cryptocurrencies (as in...it's never been done before). That is clearly a lie and willingly misleading: Shadowcash, Monero, Dash, PIVX and many others already did this YEARS ago and much better.

Stealth addresses are literally not good enough to keep transactions private. They are not even considered blockchain analysis-safe anymore unless they are integrated on top of additional privacy protocols. What the Shadowcash team had was stealth addresses + ring signatures, but even that got old quickly, and is one of the major reason they moved from SDC to PART and decided to implement RingCT (Ring signatures + stealth addresses + CT) on top of the Bitcoin codebase.

So allow me to be very doubtful of anyone claiming Verge is a serious and innovative crypto currency when in reality they are really struggling to copy half of what was widely done years ago by many privacy projects. Verge is straight up insulting to privacy advocates and people that actually care about privacy being about privacy and not hype.

Just my 2 cents, quite glad to see Particl and PIVX up in your top 5 though

Cryptoguard, he didn't write the blog, I did. He just shared it (thanks).

I'm not sure if you're talking in general or me specifically when you say: "So allow me to be very doubtful of anyone claiming Verge is a serious and innovative crypto currency". I made no such claims, I even mentioned that people found the Wraith Protocol underwhelming. I don't have the same dislike of Verge as you do, but neither do I see it as revolutionary. I definitely think there's a place for it though and I'm interested to see where it goes.

The blog was simply for people wishing to buy altcoins during the crash to take advantage of the lows. It was right, shortly after posting every alt on the list increased quite a bit, two of them 40% or more. So it fulfilled this purpose. In hindsight it's easy to say this was obvious that these 5 coins would recover strong, but it wasn't so obvious to people panicking and predicting the end of crypto during this latest crash.

It was simply to give people a brief on the coins and what the current lows were vs. recent prices. It wasn't a commentary on which coin is better than the others.

Actually, I'd list as favourites for long-term as:

1) Phore
2) Particl
3) PivX

The one you posted was not a final version and I don't know how it ended up in that article :S The one I posted is factual, the one with the 8 points well...there was some stuff that weren't first in crypto so we edited them out for truth's sake.

Particl Desktop Release (February 07)
https://coindar.org/en/event/particl-part-particl-desktop-release-3194

[5thangel]

Is the staking still profitable If I don't have so much particl in my wallet? Let's say i have 1000 particl, what the current staking reward i will get on it?

Is the staking still profitable If I don't have so much particl in my wallet? Let's say i have 1000 particl, what the current staking reward i will get on it?

Yes still very profitable, you'll get about 7-8% per year

Setup cold staking for additional security, next release should have a ZAP function to convert staking almost instantly

Particl Desktop 1.1.0 was released 

https://particl.news/particl-desktop-v1-1-0-b87b51c2b29d

We are proud to remove the “testnet” tag off our flagship application Particl Desktop today and move it on to mainnet. Thank you to everyone testing it the past 10 days as we ironed out the remaining issues.

The team spent time fixing bugs, adding new features and streamlining the flow of the GUI. Some pages have been updated to better the user experience. Furthermore, a major restructure effort over the GUI codebase has been completed.

The code is now more modular, less prone to errors and takes advantage of the capabilities that the latest Angular provides. This pre-marketplace code restructuration will enable us to implement features like auto-update and multiwallet in a much better way.

As the marketplace will also be integrated soon, we renamed the software to the simple and beautiful "Particl Desktop". This software is intended to include the wallet, the marketplace, secure chat & more. You can now find it under the particl-desktop repository of the Particl GitHub organization.

Test the Particl Desktop to discover all the other improvements we made, and do not hesitate to point out things we might have overlooked in our inevitable humanity (see below to open issues).
ZAP

The addition of the ZAP functionality will greatly assist in successful cold staking activation*. This feature brings the option to:

    Force (ZAP) that last few PART over to the cold stake address that might take a long time to stake otherwise
    Force (ZAP) funds from small wallets to the cold staking address
    Quickly activate cold staking, by means of sending all funds to the cold staking address in a single transaction

* Take note that the later will be less private. If Privacy is a high concern for you we would suggest allowing the cold staking process the needed time to stake the funds as intended.

    Debug window console
