    I heard zcash figured out their spamming issues and is now considered secure.

    I’m also a fan of Midnight once they go open source. I moderate their community on here and decided to lock it until they open source it. Until then, I consider it a CIA honeypot.

      A problem with zcash is that most people only use transparent addresses, so if you are one of the few people who uses shielded transactions, you’re wallet is already marked as “dirty”. In addition,I don’t know if any other crypto has tor nodes and dandelion++, zano and pirate chain included. Add to this private transaction rates and a large anonymity set and a skeptical community that actively searches for and rewards finding flaws, there is no competition. That may change in the future, but not any time soon.

    How much more private do you need to get? I mostly use Bitcoin Cash BCH with CashFusion and it is enough, no one is going to spend time and money on tracing most transactions, it’s not cheap or easy. I only use Monero when my identity is involved in the transaction.

    After the next HF upgrade on BCH we should see ZK level privacy start to develop via smart contracts. Hopefully in the future BCH can be as or more private than Monero and our communities can unite into one unstoppable digital cash force!

    Not natively, but there are mixers like tornado cash on ethereum which some consider are more private in concept. Ethereum is more decentralised than Monero if that’s what you mean by security (i.e security separate from privacy)
