The privacy coin race

[Acura3600]

I‘m missing Pirate

PIRATE is the best of Zcash (ZEC) combined with the best of Monero (XMR).
It’s a forced Shielded-transactions (z-transactions) only blockchain, meant for completely
anonymous transactions. PIRATE is mined into a transparent address, but can only go into a shielded address from there.
PIRATE is an independent blockchain built using the Komodo Platform assetchains. PIRATE is feature complete for its goal: complete anonymity.

Do not believe everything that write Gold was valued for several millennia. At the same time keeping the purchasing power, and I think that it will definitely continue, on another can't be.

People are voting for Monero just because it is a coin in the top of coinmarketcap. Pretty sure they don't have an idea how monero works
....

The truest statement ever written in the entirety of bitcointalk.org.

That or they checked to see which coins have richlists. Even if you don't know how a cryptocurrency works under the hood, you should be able to at least figure out that a privacy coin needs to keep what's in your wallet a secret.

I am confused as i do not know what you mean by privacy coin? Why do you say that the list of coins are privacy coins and how can you say that? Any thing that really exists or you are just saying for the sake of posts? Why all other altcoins are not in your list. Kindly list out public coins then. Lets raise the voice on public coins. I know that these are only crypto currencies.

Monero is the winner for me. Dssh I'd the runner up but it seems that recently, the foundation appears to be taking a very corporate approach. Nobody would guarantee that in the future it would be as reliable it its structure keeps becoming more centralized.

hi guys, on the digital age, privacy is more than something we need, it is a right...
most people still didn't realize that privacy is fundamental for human society. On old times, people close the curtains, or build walls... but nowadays we need VPN's and private transactions...
I would choose monero due to its solidity and policy

If we are actually to look at the way things have been and the most used privacy coin so far, I would say Monero will do it for me, but looking at the real world and how completely privacy coins may end up suffering a lot with the existence of regulations and government trying to tag down on this one’s as a result of AML policies, it may be hard for any of them to thrive if there is a clamp down on them.

In a way, they will be easy to attack if government through regulations call out for the delisting of privacy coins which in a way will affect them pretty bad. Just thinking of possibilities anyway, with the market maturing every single day and tending towards regulation.

Well, we all know some things are our right, but we also have to understand that as much as you see it as a right, that is one thing that can easily be abused by some, which is one of the reasons why I would not actually be putting my mind too much into any privacy coin in the long term, knowing that this is something that would be hard for government to allow.

Unless we do not want to be truthful to ourselves, there are some things that would always affect the growth of certain coins like this in the long run, most especially when they are being used in the dark world and it is calling for concerns.

Good money does bad things--always has and always will. If what you're using can't be used by a drug dealer as well as foreign dissident afraid his or her totalitarian government, then it's not cash. This isn't complex.

[Aragorn_125]

Of the tokens I put on the bat from the coins of course monero, others are not so relevant and stable. Especially the last two of the list. Although a lot of coins for me in the market remain a dark box with an unknown future.

[pageraji]

I think monero will win this race, most use privacy coin with large community and a lot of exchange, thats why monero still number one in privacy coin.

[Acura3600]

i miss Pirate (ARRR) in this voting - soon the people will realise that there will be a new No1.

[kjadB]

Veil could be a good privacy coin to watch

[yakushev]

In my opinion, Monero is at the very top of privacy coins. It has Ring Signatures, Ring Confidential Transactions, and Stealth Addresses. It is pretty stable and it is being used the most. I expect the pool results to reflect this.

And this is so; even a Zcash cannot overcome its advantages, so there is nothing to discuss here.

[consideritdone]

Zcoin sounds like have hidden potential because largely untapped https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/zcoin
monero is well known leader

[Svelto]

Out of the list, Zcash and Monero are my favourite privacy coins. Great community and I love the features of the coins.
