Privacy Properties - Zcash possesses the strongest possible privacy properties mathematically and technically due to its use of ZK (Zero-Knowledge cryptography) [1] - A growing shielded pool with an increasing number of transactions inherently provides a higher level of privacy than probabilistically traceable decoy systems [1] - Allowing transparent transactions creates an entry point for regular users to shield their transactions, further expanding the anonymity set [1] User Experience - The potential for user error is higher for new users when using optional privacy features unless a wallet like Zashi is utilized [1] - Zashi wallet has addressed the UX problem associated with optional privacy, leading to a vertical increase in the shielded pool [1] Technical Comparison - Zcash encrypts data, rendering it invisible to trackers, unlike decoy systems that use ring signatures to "confuse" trackers [1]
