Monero did not require a "trusted setup" and total coin supply is easily verifiable: Huh? Are you referring to Cryptonote before the RingCT upgrade? Afaik, RingCT hides values and employs zero knowledge proofs to prove that no additional coin supply was created by a transaction. And thus if the cryptography is cracked, then an undetectable quantity of additional coins can be created by the perpetrator. C.f. my elaboration under @samsunggalaxyplayer’s answer.

the anonymity set for when a given key is spent grows infinitely: that is incorrect. The historic anonymity sets shrink over time (due to combinatorial overlap) and I had explained this to NobleSir (Shen’s Redditard username before he deleted it) back in 2015 (and he hence tried to delete all that he could). I have blog coming out about all of this. This was pointed out to Monero (@smooth) in 2014.

| Oct 10, 2016 at 9:30 | comment | added | arisalexis | this answer although may be technically sound confused me a lot and I am not even sure what the author suggests. Is Zcash a better cryptocoin privacy implementation than Monero or the opposite? | |
| Oct 9, 2016 at 14:16 | comment | added | fanf42 | It should be noted that collusion may not be apparent before a long period, i.e people can invests in zcash for 10 years before free money starts to appear (and the whole blockchain must be thrown out, because there is no way to differenciate genuine coins from bad ones) | |
| Sep 23, 2016 at 12:40 | comment | added | James Cameron | zCash doesnt have an anonymity set or encrypted metadata, thats the whole point of zero knowledge proofs. It is not possible to crack a zero knowledge proof, even if given unlimited ressources. While it is possible to fake transactions with a compromised trusted setup, this doesnt compromise anonymity for other transactions. While the zk-Snarks are optionally available, mining appears on the transparent blockchain. This means that there is a supply overview and as exchanges transfer withdrawn amounts, excessive money creation would be noticable. | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 16:17 | comment | added | user36303 | I don't know what metadata they're talking about, so I can't improve it. I'll have to go read the PDF when I get a moment. I asked that question because I re-read your answer when soneone edited this page and brought this question to the top again :) | |

| Aug 20, 2016 at 15:38 | comment | added | opensourceprivacy | @user36303 "Instead of publicly demonstrating spend-authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted..." bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/… Please make edits to improve my answer if you can or provide an additional answer to address what I missed. | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 11:50 | comment | added | user36303 | When you say "including metadata (which is encrypted)", what metadata are you talking about ? | |

| Jul 20, 2016 at 17:17 | comment | added | opensourceprivacy | @user36303 made another edit. I did want to clarify the difference between the set up outputs actually included in a ring and the growing set of available outputs that could be used when a given key is eventually spent at some point in the future. | |

| Jul 20, 2016 at 17:02 | comment | added | user36303 | I think you want to say "the set of outputs included in a ring" or similar. Your other point about the anonymity set growing indicates you're talking about "when was this particular output spent ?" rather than "which output was spent in this tx", which is what I read with that first sentence. But maybe I'm trying to read too much about the specifics. | |

| Jul 20, 2016 at 16:44 | comment | added | opensourceprivacy | @user36303 I was trying to refer to available mixins without actually using the term for the purposes of comparing the Monero anonymity set with ZCash. Is my wording better now? | |

| Jul 20, 2016 at 8:55 | comment | added | user36303 | I do not understand the point you are making with "Zcash uses its entire blockchain as its anonymity set vs the number of previous outputs for Monero. ". The "blockchain" and "the number of previous outputs" seem to be the same, no ? | |
