Privacy coins compared - Monero, Zcash, Zcoin, PIVX, Nav Coin, and Verge

tl;dr:

Monero is still the most private cryptocurrency, but is slow and has high fees (currently). Zcash uses the most advanced cryptography, but it's privacy tech (zk-SNARKs) is too new to be well peer reviewed. PIVX represents the best pairing of privacy and usability.

Yes i love Monero coin too compared to all privacy coin out there, it stood out that Monero is the best Privacy coin and next to my list is PIVX and Verge which are the most potential coin hope the wraith protocol of verge will release soon.

I've looked at the Wraith protocol, and I just don't see it doing that much. At best it will hide the Recipient's address. But the recipient will likely need to claim those coins if they want to spend them in the future. There's really not much detail in the Black paper.

Unfortunately, there isn't SPECTRECOIN (XSPEC) on this study...Perhaps still too small but have a look :

Ya I had to leave off some other privacy coins as they're just not that well known yet. Still plenty of room to innovate in the privacy area though.

You have also missed to list the coins derived from Zcash, I mean ZEN, Zclassic, Hush, Zero.

Would be nice to know about Enigma (ENG) & Komodo (KMD) too.

[g4r1n1m]

i wish KMD was in this comprasion... have much much more to offer than any other privacy coin.
KMD is a privacy coin with utility and platform
it also has the jumblr mixer t -> z -> z -> t transaction and getting a new address with no history
its the best privacy tool ever
plus it can be used easily with atomic swaps to trade for other coins in anonymous way without 3rd party
