Otherwise, currently Darkcoin or Monero are probably your best bets.
Indeed ZeroCash is very good but we have yet to wait and see if they will deliver what they've promised.
For anyone that doubts Darkcoin they should do 8 rounds of anonymizing and see what happens.
I don't believe in the "one coin to rule them all" mentality. I think there are benefits of competing crypto currencies and cooperating crypto currencies with the same goals. Such as the Nxt/Bitshares rivalry and the Storj/Maidsafe cooperation.
I agree, but some people just can't play together... it is sad to see all the fighting between Nxt and Bitshares.
Honestly, it seems to be mostly Nxt attacking Bitshares, they have attacked Ethereum a lot in the past as well. Anyways... I think competition is better than no competition and no cooperation.
Isn't DarkWallet a coin join implementation? If that is correct then I think my assertation that Zerocash will be more anonymous than that is correct.
I haven't kept track of DarkWallet, but don't believe it's trustless at this point. Just saying if they do get it all fancy and trustless down the road, it'd make anonymous alts sort of pointless.
The only problem I have with Zerocash is that its devs seem to use a different timeframe than most in the cryptoworld use. By the time they actually make the thing, it may be too late.
I pretty much agree with you here. I mentioned this in another thread about anonymity, but I think for anon coins to survive in the long haul they need to have other features and/or advantages rather than simply just being anonymous. Otherwise the anon crypto currency's user base will be narrowed down to people that use it for nefarious purposes and people that understand the value of financial privacy, which will deeply affect volume and liquidity.
