What I don't understand is why people decided to compare this project to Monero, Monero is the king in the privacy space nad have some of these darknet using it, I have not seen any other of these privacy space that has a sound tech as Monero. I think masternodes won't help the price that much the way people are hoping it would
Monero is king but the Zerocoin protocol tech is awesome for privacy too, it can also be used for smart contracts. Zoin is best compared to its big brother Zcoin, technically they are very very similar.
The development lately has definitely held the price stable while many other altcoins tanked. I think that the zoinodes can push the price but for a big big spike we should wait until the altcoin market becomes more positive. Until then we can always be happy with the zoinode rewards.
The last weeks there has been a LOT of good news like the release of zerocoin web wallet, tor wallet, apis for developers, zoinodes, zerocoin revamp, tor in desktop wallet and marketing team partnership. I also think all these developments could help Zoin to get listed on a big volume exchange, exactly what they are working on. And the objects on the next roadmap should be very interesting to see, working more on real-world integration.
