I remember informative article regarding comparing PIVX, Zcoin and Monero.
Couldn`t find it now..
It was explaining why it`s illogical that PIVX is so cheap compared to that 2 coins..
PIVX has a bigger marketcap than ZCoin so in fact it's not cheaper.
Not Zcoin, but Zcash I should have written.
SO, here is the discussion link:
https://www.weusecoins.com/anonymous-cryptocurrency-dash-pivx-monero/Are we lacking adaptability to reach their MC?
IMHO, we are lacking:
1- Their PR machine, not only due more or less resources, but also due to their longest live in the market.
2- Concentrate more in merchant acceptance. I would love to see PIVx development being centred now in increase the coin security against different types of attacks and merchant adoption. Yes, decentralised exchange and so on are very interesting features, but they probably are not going to be the main points of PIVx technology.
OTHO, XMR has very good characteristics from a privacy point of view and a strong users base. For the user concentrated only in privacy is a hard competitor.
Only an opinion.
Salute
Both: merchant adoption and anonymous niche is pretty difficult to reach, due to high competition in in sphere..
It`s difficult to compete with Nano an LTC in payments..
It`s difficult to compete with Monero & Zcash in anonimousness, although we use different protocol..
But we can have our share of each market..
