I think it would be important to outline the differences between the big privacy projects. Part of a successful project and community is the ability to outline the pros and cons the product has.

It would be fruitful for existing community members and new community members alike to have a better comprehension of the differences (technical and non-technical) between Zcash/Monero/Dash.

Having this information clearly transmitted and out in the open allows better education, better community unified messaging, and a stronger front in public forums as well as personal conviction in the project.

I’m hoping this thread remains as objective as possible so that we can shed some light on the advantages and disadvantages of the major privacy projects.
