Hey, guys. Can anyone explain in simple words, what are the main benefits of Monero compared to other anonymous coins?
minus-squareJimmyCryptoMan213@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 months agoKeep in mind not all “privacy coins” are private. Some claim to be private because they have a privacy mode or just simply use IP obfuscation. All monero transactions are private. The sender, reciever and amount are hidden. This is a true privacy coin because of these three features. ZCash privacy is opt in Dash I do not consider to be a privacy coin but is called a privacy coin since it has a privacy send mode. There is Firo which I have not used much but I believe its privacy is opt in Zano is a privacy coin that looks promising.
