I'm very interested in privacy coins. With all the speculation about government involvement in regulation, I believe lots of people will gravitate towards Privacy. What are your thoughts on the different privacy coins available? Obviously Monero is established, Verge seems to be having on the up and up, and I've heard very good things about the tech behind DeepOnion. Any thoughts on these coins or any other privacy coins?
I think there is a good project called Aztec network. It is a layer 2 project. Aztec network is all about privacy. But no token yet. They have funding around 120M. Currently they are developing Aztec network developer tools. After that there will be few Dapps coming to the Aztec ecosystem. 
Topic: Privacy Coins (Read 681 times)
I am super barish on privacy coins, not because they aren't useful, but because regulations have been killing them. Only a few privacy coins were pumping in last year's bull market, and big exchanges are delisting privacy coins regularly. Even the new generation of privacy coins never saw the hype. These are huge layer-one block chains that enable private smart contracts, but their trading volumes are super low. Privacy coins need to move to decentralized exchanges, or eventually they will all be delisted. There is a public secret that these coins are being used for terrorism and something shady. That's why governments are more cautious about these coins.
Monero - You can't go wrong with. King of Privacy and will be for a while.
Verge - Meh, don't trust the developers and they barely just released stealth. I only ever see people investing in Verge to try and make money, not use it for privacy.
DeepOnion - all hype/marketing, no tech. I feel like the only reason they have such a large community was because of the airdrop program. Concerning when it ends.
Another coin to check out would be Spectrecoin (XSPEC). Its got Tor, OBFS4 so it works in Tor blocked places like China & Iran, ring signatures, fast speeds, and its a Proof of Stake coin so you get a 5% yearly return on your coins if you're staking them. The 2.0 release for XSPEC is going to make stealth addresses default (right now they're optional) and introduce Stealth Staking. People don't think Stealth Staking is possible, so it could be a good investment if you get in before its implemented in Q2 2018. Feel free to join the slack and talk to the developers and do your own research.
So basically, I'd go with Monero if you're looking for something that works well RIGHT NOW. Should definitely look into XSPEC though.

XSPEC is now called ALIAS. Yes it is a great coin, but only if the team had enough money to market it, but it is a great privacy coin with great tech. Verge is now ICO 20022 compliant, so that is one to diversify with also.

Now there is generally no restriction and regulation, and every second coin seeks to make it the most confessional, but as we see sometimes it does not work. Close all the holes will not work, even bitcoin and then you can track your wallet and then everything else. This concept is relative and should not be trusted completely.
hi guys what is privacy coins? im newbie 
Monero: King of Privacy
Zcash: Another good privacy coin backed by Russia and uni professors
Verge: Stay far far away from this

One of the key components for any coin's success is the community, which is why XMR is king in this space at the moment. DeepOnion are trying hard to develop community with their airdrops.
MOIN is a very low market cap privacy coin.
Spectrecoin (XSPEC) best privacy coin
totally agree with you

This is what I thought too, 2018 is going to be the year of regulation for cryptocurrency. The future is very bright for all the anonymous coins. Monero is my number one pick because the marketcap is very high so I think it's more stable than the other small coins like Deeponion. Also Deeponion's bounty is going to end very soon I expect the price will go down because people will stop talking about this coin. Monero on the other hand doesn't need to pay people to shill it, the price will go up organically.
when it comes to "Privacy Coin", "ZCOIN" is what I am holding as a privacy coin for long-term, have made masternode too, since I don't plan to sell it any time soon.

Checked it out, but the only POS Privacy coin with a roadmap implementing fully anonymous staking and transactions is Spectrecoin. Masternodes are centralized and are certainly not private, just saying.

I do not have much experience with personal pennies. I can talk to anyone about this area. To hold a valuable coin and turn it into a personal coin like? I am keeping some valuable coins who I need to buy I will sell. Reasonable price.

Depends on what risk you want. Go with Monero for low risk and low steady profit, or try Spectrecoin for potential great profit, but higher risk. Just keep away from Verge.
100% this. Hope anyone reading does their own research. Hopefully once XSPEC proves itself we won't have so much FUD spam. Monero is a very good coin, sucks that some outliers in their community have to make them look bad.
and what bad news you refering to?

if you are interested in a privacy oriented cryptocurrency take a look at navcoin, it could explode in the next weeks, it has a low supply and a cheap price, i could see a 5x in the next monts. they have just released the roadmap for 2018 and they will launch the ios wallet soon, i'm very optimistic about that
