Topic: My Top 5 Privacy Altcoins for 2018 - page 3. (Read 1021 times)

im a big fan of Spectre coin for reasons already discussed on here, i luckily bought in at 1USD.  Out of al coins i hold Spectre and B3 have the most active communities and developers by far you see improvements being made daily whereas other coins theres no information from the last 1 month. 

I know privacy altcoin become more popular recently. Many people talk about it. But why we nneed so many of privacy coin? I think one or two is enough. Monero is still the first one of my choice.

That is wrong. There are only two developers, who know what they are doing. I think he meant 15+ years, not developers.

Edit:
Actually he probably meant cryptographers with 15+ years of experience.

You are just being ignorant, or you don't read what you comment? People who use public addresses are visible, those who use stealth profile are not visible in the richlist. This was already mentioned. Yes we know Monero uses private profile/stealth addresses per default, and as the only option. How Monero integrates w/ Tor or I2P network? All xspec nodes run inside Tor, never leaving it (Never using exit nodes.), and it also supports OBFS4 (Tor obfuscation) for countries which block Tor. You don't have to answer, the question is rethorical. Monero still doesn't have something like that, but they are working on it. Well, xspec is also working on making private profile being default.

Don't know about the 15+ cryptographers, can't find them here https://spectreproject.io/ anyway.

we'll see about Q2 2018, weird, with 15+ cryptographers still no technical documents that can be peerreviewed... You realize that such supernew things should be peerreviewed and seriously tested... Q2 is quite the shorte timeframe, lol.

We'll see about missing the train, let's hope that noone gets under the train instead ;-)

1. ETH: It is the infrastructure of most projects in 2017 and previous years.
2. TEZOS: investors are in great anticipation
3. MNX : stock market news and project developments.
4. GUP :   project developments.
5. OAX : stock market news high volume.

Tto me the most interesting project announced atm is https://www.mobilecoin.com/, although it doesn't covers all aspects of privacy (Project is still at least half year away from release.) it does cover most important things 95% of peopla cares about. One will be able to sent money anonymously (Will use stellar lumens) to friends, family etc. by using encrypted chat clients like Signal (Mobilecoin is actually Moxie's project.) and WhatsApp. On the link you can find whitepaper, and there is an excellent, very detailed wired article, which explains how everything should work: https://www.wired.com/story/mobilecoin-cryptocurrency/

Hi all,

Solaris is a great privacy coin with (currently) a low market cap.
PoW ends in I think April. Then coins will be minted via masternodes AND PoS.
Zerocoin protocol will be implemented on January 20 2018.

I highly recommend checking it out.

I see addresses and amounts, I can follow transactions... looks pretty public to me

also:

please compare to:
https://moneroblocks.info/richlist

pretty obvious, no?

XSPEC's professional 15+ years cryptographers are preparing default stealth addresses and first ever in crypto staking on stealth addresses in Q2 2018.
Technical document will follow ofc.

It is a good thing you don't believe, but will it matter when it happens?
Only is that you will miss the train

No hard feelings, just that XSPEC knows what it does, it already is the only project thats got Ring Sings, Stealth Addresses(yep they are not default) and obfuscated intergrated TOR in its client

For your information xspec blockchain is not public, and it uses ring signatures. Also many improvements are comming soon. 1.4 should be one month away, and v2 in 2nd Q 2018.

Like xspec is only stealth addresses?

btw hush has also used trusted setup. Have to check other mentioned coins, but from my experience, unfortunately most of coins I checked either have some strange definitions of privacy or just pretend. Most of them don't even mention (like in a roadmap) particularly meaningful features.

Sorry man, that's not enough for anonimity by a long shot: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/20701/what-is-a-stealth-address

With xspec people who care to avoid richlist can choose stealth addresses. Default is comming soon.

I need to get some more Decred! I will likely be putting a few hundred into it.

If someone is investing in very low marketcap coins then they are speculating to the highest degree. The thesis is that one of them will make it through the trenches to the $1b+ threshold and make you a lot of money. At one point all of these coins had to start from the same place; low marketcap, only on crappy exchanges, no hype, skepticism over the product, etc.

Just pick up some Btc on the BVM and no taxes apply  The monitoring software may not come to light soon, but I'm sure it's being worked on everywhere.

Look up Anoncoin.
True potential for 2018, one of the (if not the) earliest privacy coin.

Did not have its big pump yet but make no mistake, it is coming soon.

well, it's alos not difficult to rip apart... they're not privacy coins, they all have rich lists, compare this to monero:
https://moneroblocks.info/richlist
no rich list, because the block chain is opaque: addresses are hidden, amounts are hidden, outputs are mixed, ... there's litterally nothing there in the blockchain...

so, I'm not ripping apart, if you want to use a privacy coin that isn't private at all, be my guest... but then why not just use litecoin... If I was trying to sell you a lamborghini and you could obviously see that it's just a stupid Renault, would you buy it because I promise it will become a Lamborghini?

about going to the lead dev: sorry, no, the normal scientific process is: you write down your theories, you vet these theories with references to scientific papers that actually prove stuff, you have your theories peerreviewed by other scientists who can be able to detect flaws in your thinking processes, who can make addendums etc... Then you publish this white-paper and you ask for a review by the scientific community. If all this works out positively, THEN you can go and sell 'a privacy coin'...

But selling something as private while there's no paper and no peerreview is just an empty promise, until something is delivered. And in crypto, you don't invest in empty promises, or you'll get burnt...
I'm here since 2012, I learned (and not always in a nice way) how these things go down. Don't invest in promises alone...
