Thanks for your replies guys!
If you get how the zerocoin protocol works you will see how easy it is to have privacy. It's possible to keep all your coins untraceable on pivx, by keeping them on the zpiv form, however you can't stake this way.
And once they come from the zpiv accumlator, what can you say about the origin or destination of those pivx? nothing.
.
And this statement just proves that they are not Fungable and can never be.

I feel like the goal of trying to cast the widest net for
suckers users has many treating privacy as a feature, rather than a function.
Until their goal is fungibility and creating the largest anonymity set, they will continue to stare at Monero's design in dumb awe. They neither understand that Monero's user base demands best in class privacy or how to attain best in class privacy--to them marketing and better-than-Bitcoin's-privacy are enough.
that's exactly my question, why is monero better than pivx from a privacy point of view?
And yes I think it's a very relevant topic for the monero speculation thread. If pivx tech is better...
Read the bolded as it applies to optional privacy--I said this before and can only repeat it so many times--if you don't understand, that's not my problem. Also, if you want technological analysis, I suggest you ask in the monero ann thread or on reddit or on irc--this is a Monero speculation thread, not a development thread. It's obvious that you are using it to shill pivx. It's off topic, annoying and obvious. Please ask technical questions on a technical thread.
Look I'll even link you a great place to find out all the reasons pivx is inferior:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroI am not shilling anything, it's not my fault if with pivx I can anonymized 5000 pivx in one go for 0.01 fee. I am asking myself how can monero be competitive when I can transfer pivx most of the time for free and faster... It just that as if I believe pivx is better sooner or later the value will move from monero to pivx.
I guess all are clinging to the vega induced hashrate increase... but if all cryptonight coins are as expansive (like etn) there is no chance for them to be able to compete with pivx.
The sooner monero (cryptonight) holders get it, the faster the prices may move...
It's about speculation right?
LUL
PivX has a rich list for fuck sake.
http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/richlist.phpMy greatest fear is that the market and genpop never wake up to the intellectual reality that most coins are fucking nonsense.
Where Verge and PivX fans will vehemently argue they have greater privacy whilst simultaneously being a click away from a fucking list of the COMPLETE DISTRIBUTION of their coin, with ALL BALANCES on show.
fuck. me.
It's the staker list... the bigger the stake the faster the rewards from pos. but if those stake were anonymized before being deployed you can't know where they came from.
This complete distrubution is what makes the chain integrity verification possible. At all time you can know how many coins are in existence while not knowing their origins or destination when zpived.

https://moneroforcash.com/monero-vs-dash-vs-zcash-vs-bitcoinmixers.php#dash-pivxAdditionally, add-on or optional privacy can never be as private as protocol-level mandatory privacy (Monero).
Others have already pointed out the PIVX rich list.
unless the cost of privacy makes the all things unusable for new comers... that was my all point all along. Monero fees are too expansive.
Don't forget than pivx zerocoin protocol makes a pool of all pivx converted to zpiv... more and more are using it.
