Disclosure: I have a stake in Monero, both in the community and financially.  Despite that, I attempt to impartially start this topic of debate between these two privacy-centric currencies. 
 

 
 
I am interested in anonymous cryptocurrencies, and Monero and Shadowcash both catch my eye (as well as BoolBerry, luv u 2).  Monero we have probably heard a lot about in recent threads, but I will recap some basic stats of both currencies.  I present ShadowCash first as a gesture of good will:

 
 
And Monero's specifications: 
 

 

 
 
I am not sure the world is big enough for two totally successful anonymous cryptocurrencies.  Each new ultra-successful crypto will present something fundamentally new and valuable to civilization.  That is the only way they will rise to dominance.  We saw this with Bitcoin already, and I humbly submit (as my personal opinion) that a truly anonymous cryptocurrency will be the next crypto to break and hold the $1-billion dollar marketcap with significant volume. 
 
Of these two, which one has the superior technology, better distribution scheme, fairest launch, and most potential going forward?  I will not be commenting on this thread with my opinions because I have bias and would like to hear some opinions from both sides.  I'm hoping the ShadowCash supporters and developers will take the time to come and discuss their currency with us, and we can have some of the long-time Monero supporters and devs comment as well.
