OK Listen up you noobz…
dont listen to this bullshit you hear in responses as they are just promoting projects that are not private!!!!
Their are only 2 Privacy Coins that currently work
Monero and Pirate Chain (Do your goddam research)
I been in crypto for 9 years and have interviewed over 200 projects
Monero is the king of Privacy coins for now as it uses a ring-ct mixing algo that shuffles transactions around and gives every user Privacy by Default. Recently Ciphertrace announced that they are getting close to cracking it after getting paid millions by government (funny how they use your money to take more from us)
Many will say that Monero cannot be cracked but what worries be is they did a hard fork update directly after ciphertrace announced the news. So running scared and defending hard. Shuffling may not work for too much longer and they know it so they come out with many things like bulletproofs etc. to cover a weak core algo.
Pirate is 2 years old and still in its infancy. Pirate Chain uses ZK-Snarks which is a stronger algo cryptographically and also just like Monero protects every transaction you do by default. Their are no methods to trace your transaction unless you consent to a request and manually provide them a viewing key.
Pirate is what ZCASH should have been but due to corporate investors in the ICO they are strong armed into not making it 100% Private and kept what's called Transparent addresses on the Chain but gives you the OPTION to use a Z-Address (shielded private Address) via/ a tiny checkbox. Currently less than 1% of all users on the chain uses it’s privacy feature demonstrating that if its not Private by Default it will not work to protect people.
Pirate Chain only uses Z-Addresses, their are no transparent addresses for people to monitor you. It is 100% Private by Default and has a higher anon-set than Monero which is a score that shows how much privacy a block-tech gives you, if you don't believe me compare for yourself
Please don't be fooled by all these other projects. They are all traceable and flawed in some way in which if you do your research you will find the same as I did.
If you can trace a transaction on an open to the WORLD explorer… its not a privacy chain. Good luck to all of you and I wish freedom for all.
