  • Objectively, if used correctly, ZCash has better transaction privacy, at least until FCMP++ goes live with (probably) the next Monero hardfork. After FCMP++ goes live, no, Monero will be the objectively best privacy coin in all aspects.

    In reality you have about 400 fully private ZCash transaction per day and 40.000 for Monero. You might literally be the only person making a Zcash transaction that day within a +100 mile radius, not much of a crowd to hide in.

    There are many other factors like ZCassh having a CEO, dev fee, moonboy community and even their garbage tier mascot that make people prefer Monero.







  • because if the seednodes are offline then the whole network goes down

    This is false. You can join and bootstrap off of any given peer that is already in the network. It will take longer to initially populate the orderbook and trade history since it comes from other peers piece by piece but otherwise you can use it completely fine.


  • It does make sense to have a more reliable, designated entry point since you can’t be sure everyone in your peerlist hasn’t just gone offline. Also, don’t the seednodes hand out the pre-populated orderbook? As well as some other stuff? There has to be some reason why that isn’t done by regular peers, right?
