can any of the other coins be used with TOR and those other ones like ip2 etc? is this the first coin that is specifically designed for use with this kind of thing?
1. ANC was the first to integrate I2P with a SAM bridge
2. I am not aware of other coins with native I2P integration yet
3. Any coin can be configured to use I2P or TOR manually
ANC development has been extremely slow and the original developers have left.
I now believe that Monero is the best privacy option in crypto that exists today.
Peter Todd, Greg Maxwell and other bitcoin core devs seem to be of the same opinion

It is quite likely that Gnosis will not be working on Anoncoin in the future, but K1773R is still with us, and if you would join us on irc, you would see that Meeh is back and contributing.
As I've said before, Monero is probably the best option if you need increased privacy, but what Monero is offering is only a temporary solution. Ring signatures are not the future of crypto.
