The most anonymous cryptocurrencies.

For 2018, several interesting cryptocurrencies have already been developed, the main focus of which is on the anonymity of users and transactions. Unlike bitcoin where transaction participants can be viewed easily, the really anonymous cryptocurrency used different mechanisms for entanglement, encryption, separation or the mixing of transactions. As a result, it becomes impossible to track the recipient's address, sender's address, or transaction amount.

Monero.

This most anonymous cryptocurrency uses a special CryptoNote Protocol to increase anonymity, which allows signing an e-mail message to one of the potential participants in the transaction, but does not disclose the data of this subscriber. Also, the method of obfuscation, that is, the obfuscation of the transaction, which complicates its analysis.

Name Monero(XMR);
Date of creation-April 18, 2014;
Presumably, the country of origin of the cryptocurrency may be France (this conclusion is based on the analysis of information about two of the seven developers Riccardo Spagni and David Latapie, who disclosed their identities), since there is no accurate information on this issue;
Algorithm-CryptoNote.

Zcash.

Cryptocurrency has an open source code. Data on transfers are published in the common block chain, but the parties and the transaction volume remain unknown. To ensure anonymity, Zerocash advanced cryptographic Protocol is used, which is the development of The zerocoin Protocol, which allows you to hide the origin and amount of the transaction.

The ZK-SNARK Protocol is used to verify the validity of transactions on the basis of the zero-knowledge proof principle, where party a must make sure that party B has certain information that cannot be disclosed by party B.

Name Zcash (ZEC);
Date of creation - 28 October 2016;
Country of origin-USA, Israel;
The Algorithm Is Zerocash.

Zerocoin or Zcoin.

The coin appeared simultaneously with the zcash cryptocurrency, but uses a slightly different Protocol. Zerocoin is an encryption Protocol that precedes The zerocash Protocol, which in turn began to be used in the zcash cryptocurrency. The developer of both protocols is Zerocoin Electric Coin company.

The principle of anonymity in ZCoin is implemented in the same way as in Zcash with the difference that the Protocol in ZCoin is an addition to the Bitcoin Protocol, which increases the anonymity of transactions.

Date of creation-September 28, 2016;
Country of origin-USA, Israel;
Algorithm-Zerocoin.

Dash.

Cryptocurrency uses a combination of several encryption algorithms, which increases the degree of anonymity. Special independent "master nodes" are used in the network — servers where the mixing process takes place. Other anonymous coins do not have this technology.
That is, the nodes of the network randomly act as coin mixers to avoid getting to anyone complete information about the transaction. You can use a few rounds of mixing to reach the maximum anonymity.

Name Dash previously known as Darkcoin;
Date of creation-January 18, 2014;
No reliable data on country of origin;
Algorithm-X11.

Verge.

The bitcoin Protocol is used as a basis, but with an emphasis on anonymity, which is achieved by hiding the IP addresses of users through The TOR and i2P networks. Many believe that this is the most anonymous coin.

Name Verge(XVG) (previous name DogeCoinDark);
Date of creation-2014, renamed to Verge in 2016;
No data were provided on the country of origin and originators;
The Algorithm Is Wraith Protocol.

Boolberry.

As with Monero, anonymity of transactions is implemented through the CryptoNote Protocol, but with some improvements in terms of creating alternative names to simplify the transfer of funds. That is, the transfer is carried out to a shorter address than is customary in many other cryptocurrencies. Also used mixing coins. To use in the further transaction data is only possible subject to the availability of a certain number of rounds of mixing. As the hash algorithm used is SHA-3 (keccak).

Name Boolberry(BBR);
Date of creation-may 17, 2014;
Country of origin unknown;
The Algorithm Wild Keccak.

DigitalNote.

The same CryptoNote Protocol is still used, with the addition that provides instant encrypted messaging. It is a fully decentralized structure. There is the possibility of earning with the use of special depositary.

Name DigitalNote(XDN);
Date of creation-2014;
Country of origin-USA;
The algorithm is CryptoNote modified.
