In my opinion very interesting times are coming in altcoin trading with introduction of ZCash. I expect some of my favourite altcoins (including SYS) to drop down, so we can accumulate some cheap coins for future times.
So, explain why Zcash is so awesome and how it differs from every other "anon" alt out there? Do you think using SNARKS makes it foolproof and unbreakable? Why do you think SYS will drop because of a new ALT that has no real innovative technology? What do you think about them rewarding the "investors" up front when the miners get nothing during that period? Why no Windows wallet on release?
Just a couple things that bug me...
The main difference, as I understand it, is in advanced cryptography and heavily encrypted data. Secondly, zk-SNARKs prove ownership without providing details and nullifiers prevent double spends. Thirdly, Transactions are protected and observers can only see transactions themselves but not the value contained, where the inputs came from, or where they are going. Finally, I see professional team working not the first year for their product. So, there are a lot of reasons to think that ZCash can get high volume on the first weeks/month. Remember, when Monero was rising so fast, other altcoins were going down. We will see. I may be wrong.
