With the exception of CryptoNote no other anon coin offers even a remote chance at real anonymity. Nothing but gimmicks.
I'm pretty stunned at how many people are paying big money for CrapCoins for gimmicks like DARK, BitcoinDark, etc...
Cryptonote started with bytecoin. We already know bytecoin released fake names as its key devs, along with probably fake bios. The release of that first cn coin has huge questions around it, including whether its early blockchain is even real. Some of the promotional material of that first cryptonote coin was done in a way that copied exactly the presentation style of government projects. Not one early buyer or miner has stepped forward.
I don't know anything about cryptography but I'd be cautious.
So is your problem that you bought high and are afraid that you will never get your BTC back out of ANC?
Better sell now, before your prediction comes true and you lose even more.
How much ANC do you have and what do you want for them?
