I choose Monero, it's old and it's the top privacy coin that's next to BTC and ETH, in crypto space old projects will always be gold and monero did just that fine, I know there are many new privacy coins that have better performance and strict privacy features than monero but that part is what I don't want to judge, it's like saying BCH is better than BTC

[blockman]

Monero is the best on its portion. There's no need to debate on it, there are other privacy coins that can also be said as a good privacy coin but nothing beats Monero.
And I think many will agree with that statement about XMR. It's the most beloved privacy coin of everyone.

Zcoin had successful 51% attacks so it's a no-go for me. XMR is the way to go if one's looking for privacy imo. AFAIK, MimbleWimble is great as long as there are txs on the network. I may be wrong tho.

Considering the intel agencies are looking to crack just XMR's code and coinjoins, one could guess they managed to crack the code of other privacy alts hence why they don't care yet about them. XMR seems to have little weaknesses as well, but this is the beauty of decentralization and attacks: as soon as intel gets to find a very little gap in the coding and uses it to their own advantage, the devs find a way to fix it and make XMR's privacy better than ever before.

As long as the coin isn't used much and privacy is a variable rather than a default, I think XMR will still beat it. It's fast, has cheap fees, its hashrate and user count is larger than ever before and so is the price.

I voted for zcash because i dont see Dash, if you input dash i will vote for dash. Zcash and other privacy coin is good, but dash is faster then any other privacy coin out there, because it has many up maaternodes and have instasend feature. The most anonym coin is zcash and XMR.

As per some people said above me and i will always choose XMR. A very good privacy tech with a solid community. There's no need to mention the rest of the privacy coin in your list because some of them were only fork coin from the monero or another privacy coin like dash.
Zcash is quite good but it's not so good as monero as well on its tech. There is no difference between the implementation of zkstark on its network.

Yeah I've been a big fan of XMR and ZCash in the past. I'm kinda with you guys on XMR but I've read recently that in the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) awarded +$1M to blockchain analytics firms Chainalysis and Integra FEC to break the Monero privacy system. Who know whether they'll succeed or not but it's something to take not of. This is the article I'm referring to btw:

Have you guys heard of AOS? It's been around for about 2 years now and they've just released the AOS 2.0 roadmap which looks pretty exciting. It's not on most people's radar yet but it has zero-knowledge proof programming that's much more efficient than Zcash's or ETHs, smart contracts, 10,000+ TPS etc. I think tech and privacy wise it may leave the others in the dust.
Worth keeping an eye on but it's not on any of the large exchanges at the moment.

I hope XMR and the other major privacy coins stick around. Seems like they will always be a market for them, whether or not regulators like it or not, Lol.

[Kitaiev]

I like XMR and ZCash. I know that there are other coins, but for the time being it is enough for me to have a few of these coins in the bag to sleep better.

[Cappex]

a real gem in this is uPlexa, it is a monero fork with algorithm optimized for extraction through smartphones and low performance iot devices, reducing the difference between CPU and GPU (asic resistant).
they will recently launch the bUPX token on BSC and wUPX on ETH to bring privacy to Binance and Ethereum.
the next steps will be the implementation of masternode (called Utility Node).

[menoiazei]

 Monero of course, but is some privacy coins missing from your list

[ZeeeN]

XMR is good but i saw last news

Riccardo Spagni - Lead of Monero join FIRO

i don't know this is true need someone confirm this news.

[zasad@]

Monero is the most famous cryptocurrency. Various blockchain analysts tried to hack it many times and deanonymize transactions, but so far no one has succeeded.
Why isn't the famous Dash coin on the list?
Dash has the function of anonymous payments - Private Send.
Komodo, Pivx, Navcoin, Horizen are also not on the list, but these are well-known coins

My best pick should be XMR and that's more than enough to be used to create an anonymous transaction that can't be traced by someone else. I don't even think the rest can compete with XMR at this moment.
There are lots of privacy coins in the market just the fork from the monero.
Zcash is quite good but it's not so good as monero in term of anonymous tech. Zksnarks is not so good as monero tech.
