zcoin is underrated. The project and dev team is strong. The masternode is quite attractive as well. A good balance between PoW and PoS.
You're completely right. The devs are fantastic and project is fantastic. Are you looking to set up a Zcoin masternode?
It also has a low supply which attracted em to it
While other coins are busy promoting themselves under the privacy banner (like zcash and zencash) zcoin actually is delivering quality stuff
