what is the best anonymous altcoin?

[fuckregulations]

lately i am reading about several altcoins who offer anonymity or claim to be anonymous and i wonder which one is the best. from what i understood dash coin provides only mixing service while zcash and monero actualy hides the details of the transaction like the addresses and the amount of coins in the transaction. but from what i readed about zcash i keep see this thing about how the zcash founders can make many coins as they wish without even being detected and they already gets like 10% of all zcash mined.

zcash sounds like the most anonymous but the idea that the founders might be able to make as many coins they want is realy problematic.
for me its look like monero is the best anonymous cryptocurrency but i hope to see some more opinions cause i am pretty new in all the cryptocurrency thing and i don't know about other anonymous altcoins other than the three i mentioned. there is more/better anonymous altcoins?

Zcoin is the most anonymous coin. It is probably the only truly anonymous coin.  Not zcash....

Zcoin is the most anonymous coin. It is probably the only truly anonymous coin.  Not zcash....

i thought that zcoin and zcash was the same thing... got confused with all those Zerocoins.

Wow, I didn't know this about Zcash. I've been mining monero for 5-6 months and I was looking for another alternative of it. Some friends of mine offered me zcash but they never told me that its founders are able to generate as many coins as they want. I never participate this kind of coin community.

For answering your question, I was gonna say Monero.

Dont have now. All exist - pump and dump scheme.
Best- XMR, but not for investment- just use it.

Monero.

NavCoin is anonimous as well, navtech has a dual-blockchain system, your transaction go trough the subchain where it go trough random picked server. You better read the whitepaper because I'm not good at explaining things . Navtech Polymorph is not far away for release, this is a system (in collaboration with changelly) where you can exchange 25+ currencies via Navtech (anonimously)

Most anon coins are not really anonymous because they have one big flaw: Transactions are not forced to be anonymous but you can choose between anonymous and non anonymous transactions and in reality only 1% percent of all transactions choose to be anonymous which makes it easy to single them out.

Monero and Aeon are the only ones that don't have this flaw.

Also, with ZCash or ZCoin or Dash exchanges can and some do refuse anonymous deposits and this renders these currencies essentially useless. There is no true fungibility.

People should really inform themselves better and not support these scamcoins. Dash is the worst because the founder pre-mined around 30% of the total supply, I fail to grasp how people can still invest in this coin.

Zcash and Monero are both anonymized, Zcash a bit more so. The founders of Zcash most definitely can't create coins at will, that would make the currency completely centralized. Note that founders of coins have no interest to do that because it makes them huge targets.

The best is by far ZCoin. It is like ZCash, but while ZCash z-addresses, the totally anonymised ones, do not work, ZCoin is fully finished and running. Do note there has been no hype over it yet, if that can gives you some ideas on what to accumulate !

[Harold Finch]

Zcash or Monero i think.
But not for invest only for fast and private using 

[cryptohunter]

pivx is now...

[daniel.a]

XMR, the question is will it be the one that sticks around?

[25hashcoin]

There's 3 I like.

CloakCoin
Monero
ZenCash

ZenCash (ZEN) -a fork of Zclassic which is a fork of Zcash. Only a month old, they plan on making many improvements to the original.

Here is their website:

Surprised no one has mentioned Verge (XVG)

ZK proofs are the most secure form of anonymity that exists, nothing else matches them in terms of anonymity provided, and yes that includes Monero (though Monero has other things going for it, it is still a good project).

Many ZK coins out there, such as; ZCash, ZCoin, ZClassic, ZenCash, Hush, and my personal favorite Komodo (everyone seems to forget that Supernet is still a thing.).  There are probably others that I am not thinking of or am not aware of, do some reading and take your pick.

[umbara ardian]

Many coins. But there are some that i like 1.monero 2. zcash

[Recca297]

Zcash and Monero are the best for current I think
