we should record bitcoin private in the table or?
I have no idea what you are trying to say here, youre grammar is terrible.
But if you are saying that bitcoin should be added in the list,
then you should think twice as bitcoin is no where near a private coin.

No need to be condescending. Your spelling is also not quite up to par!

And Bitcoin Private IS a privacy coin implementing zk-SNARKS. Take your own advice, and think twice before posting.

The Market for these coins are Limited, And those likely to be interested are already involved. It Would be nice to have a column telling if all Transactions are private or there may be non-private  Transactions. Privacy coins Everyday, But had no idea there were so Many. this helps separate the winners from the Losers. i Would Really appreciate your thoughts and input on this work in Progress;.

I dream about a world in which absolutely all transactions (except for example the expenditure of our taxes with you) are absolutely untraceable. It's just a fairy tale

Well, finally, a good comparison between these coins of confidentiality, XMR is too outdated and outdated, we need something new and advanced, like XSPEC. Smiley
However, I did not see XSPEC has a very powerful person ah. Its technical strength should be weaker than XZC, zcash.

Well,

Change is inevitable.   

I am no longer unbiased, and thus can no longer continue this comparison fairly.  If anyone wants my spreadsheet to edit, etc, and wants to continue a comparison, I can send it to you.


After careful research, I have started my own privacy coin.

The problem with xspec is that it is too anonymous in that no-one has ever heard of it! The project has been around for a long time but has zero marketing. Deeponion has already surpassed xspec 6 months after launch due to their superior marketing strategies. I guess it's a simple case of what is worth more to an investor - a better product or better marketing campaign? If the coin has the same features as xspec and same marketing as deeponion this will go to the moon!

I tend to agree with the view that XSPEC has a rather weak marketing. Will change hopefully soon. However, once privacy and anonymity becomes a dominating factor to buy into a coin, rather than only looking at the investment return, then XSPEC will excel automatically.

Great thread, Monero and DeepOnion for me. IMO it's still far too early to determine which will be the best, however the concept of anonymity is second to none.

Awesome work, SafeCoins !

If you don't mind a suggestion, it would be nice to have a column telling if all transactions are private or there may be non-private (transparate) transactions. It is a feature having pros (transparency may be interesting in some cases) and cons (if few people use the privacy feature of the coin, it exposes the private users)

That's a really good point, I will add it this weekend.   I am temporarily separated from my trusty spreadsheet but I'll add this, as well as marketplace coins, on friday/sat this week.    On top of my head I think basically all cryptonote coins are privacy based by default, and basically all others (?) that I can think of are dual mode (for better or worse).

Any exceptions to that I'm missing?

The following is an updated attempt to assess and evaluate:

  1.   Enhancements/Protocols:
  
    a. Anonymous Capabilities / Anonymity
    b. Privacy
    c) Security

  2.   The coins that currently implement these features


Every will be made to assume none of these coins are a complete solution (yet).  Not because they're bad, but because a lot of the other comparison threads out there have been polarized toward one coin as the "solution with all the best end to end features".  

I would really appreciate your thoughts and input on this work in progress, so that together, we can make it even more complicated and unreadable.

Anonymous, Privacy, and Security features are clearly all related to one another, yet in my mind are distinct:
  
Anonymous features ultimately aim for the holding and transacting of a commodity which both requires and releases zero identifying information.
              Buy a pizza.  No receipt, no exchange of information, no record of the pizza or you.
                    There are obvious legal implications to this, causing it to be a "dark" feature.
                          However, this slander assumes that the governing body itself is not "dark", or corrupt.   In many places in the world, Anonymity is a matter of life and death.
                          As such, Anonymity is a double edged sword, aiding both sinister and altruistic efforts.
                          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)
              

Privacy features aim to give ownership of identifying information to individuals/entities who hold or transact a commodity.
              Buy a pizza, there's a record of it but that record is for you (and potentially the pizza shop) only.
                    There is a legal arguement for privacy features.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_law

Security:  If you can hack the thing, you need not worry about Anonymity and Privacy.  Those are out.

Yesterday I bought my first bunch of XSPEC. I find the coin very promising featurewise, but I must say the wallets still feel very buggy. Hopefully that will improve soon.
Must add that I love the cold staking concept that they added, messing around with that now on a RPI3 Smiley
