PIVX is basically a DASH clone with a Proof-of-Stake tweak. So, no.

CloakCoin is talked about but I haven't looked at it deeply. For me Monero is king in the privacy niche and if governments come down hard on cryptos, a lot more people will move into Monero.

@kryptonaut Hmm... nice post & review... as we have seen earlier a jump/bullish trend of Ethereum, BitcoinCash, NEO, then DASH, MONERO,  and now Zcash since 3 days..... The Same happened with Monero following NEO,  NEO from no where from 5$ to 50$.. then stable between 20's ... and Monero from 40$ to 150$.. and now It's under 100$ .   If you have noted that there was a weak signal earlier for Monero that means (in my opinion) It's price will go slightly up like 120 to 140 then It's coming back to the floor under 70$.

Earlier 3 days back when everyone predicted Zcash will go down, My forecast was 95% accurate on it.

DarkNet Criminals will never bound their selves with specific currency neither anyone can catch this conflict easily. 

Thank you for  this informative post.

Very interesting article and tons to talk about here, too much in fact!!!

The idea that bitcoin was the thing criminals, terrorists etc used I believe was hyped up myth and pushed to discredit bitcoin. Its not anonymous and with all transaction able to be tracked by anyone not exactly ideal if you a criminal or up to something malicious. (hint hint panama papers, off shore bank accounts, shell companies.)

The identity privacy from bitcoin is good but generally taking the bitcoin to fiat is where you get unstuck and discovered if your up to no good. Bitcoin, being the most popular cryptocurrency, has the most fiat options and in the past was pretty much the only one with fiat options at times. That has changed with cryptocurrencies becoming more popular and many others have fiat options and much better anonymity options.

Zcash, DASH, PRIVX, VERG, Monero etc - take your pick.

Monero is probably the one of choice here if ransomeware attacks are anything to go by.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Verge Currency.

I really wanted to go into monero... but never did for some reason...

Too late for Montero... Saw this at 50…what is pivx?

Its so exciting to be on the ground floor. I think most people don't realize how lucky we are to be a part of this as a community. Things of this magnitude are usually only available to the elite. If the power of the community could be harnessed the growth could be exponential

Pivx is like dash but more democratic updates. 
Here how to get ultimate privacy coin.
A coin use ring signature(on chain mixer) along with  zk-SNARK and a masternode(a off chain peer to peer mixer) and someone builds a smart contract on top of the coin and create a smart contract mixer :)

PIVX might be to Monero what Litecoin is to Bitcoin.

I'm bullish on Monero, as it seems to have the best privacy of all the anon-coins, active developers and great community.

I was always a fan of Dash.

ICOs are taking all the heat from regulators right now, but I have a feeling that cryptos with opaque blockchains like  DASH, Monero and Zcash will be in the crosshairs next.
