I do not own any ANC but like 4 things about it:
1. Great name
2. Fair PoW launch in 2013
3. I2P integration
4. Listing on a Chinese exchange
How does Anoncoin differentiates from Verge, BATA, Monero?
Verge (formely Dogecoindark) offers I2P integration. I am not sure what the future plans are after the recent branding, but I see some community members talk about seeking listings on more exchanges.
I am not familiar with BATA but their page says "TOR & i2P integration are optional"
Monero offers unlinkable transactions with CryptoNote and has the best privacy tech available (Ring Signatures + Confidential Transaction) in testnet and will integrate I2P once the C++ (instead of Java) router is ready.
https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0005.pdfhttps://github.com/ShenNoether/RingCThttps://github.com/monero-project/kovriBata currently offers TOR and I2P nodes, meaning you can use them specifically for private transactions, but Bata also runs normal clearnet nodes.
