On: The Security Behind the Birth of Zcash

[Casseres]

It's interesting and definitely worth the read, but if anyone is interested in a cryptocurrency with privacy, Monero is a better choice.

(Monero doesn't require a trusted setup, doesn't have a founder's tax, isn't run by a US company, and address balances are private.)

Too many of these alt-coins are premined cashgrabs.

Okay, that doesn't have anything to do with Monero though as it's fairly mined (no premine or dev tax).

Monero has very good and active dev team that has fixed and disclosed bugs instead of exploiting them for free coins like other alt-coins.

Apologies, I should have clarified that Monero was a rare exception to the pre-mining get rich quick schemes.

Monero is not premined.
