• 245 shares • • • • • • is a Crypto Currency, built with a fork of Bitcoin but with an emphasis on privacy which utilizes anonymity-centric networks such as TOR and i2P to make sure the IP addresses of it’s users are obfuscated and the transactions are completely untraceable. Similar to other privacy-focused coins like DASH and Monero, it aims to bring security and privacy to users of crypto coins. We believe that true privacy is one of the killer features of crypto, we know that because there is a permanent ledger of which addresses have transacted together, so all it takes is for a user to personally identify themselves with one address ( such as via an exchange or with a delivery address ) and their entire history of transactions become public knowledge. Verge ( XVG ) started life as DogeCoinDark back in 2014 which makes it one of the older anonymous coins, when it was launched it’s goal was to be a fun anonymous digital currency, in February 2016 it was rebranded to become Verge.

Verge uses Proof of Work consensus to secure the network and you are able to mine using 5 different algorythms: Scrypt, X17, Lyra2rev2, myr-groestl and blake2s which was by design to enable as many people as possible with different mining setups to have equal access to earning the coins. There are 16.5 billion coins in circulation which keeps the price per coin low, which could make it more attractive to using it in future as a functioning currency. Even so, the currency has an in value this year from $0.000019 in January to $0.0039 currently ( as of 30th August 2017 ). So far, development has been impressive on Verge with the developer maintaining outlining when new features will be arriving and also a which goes into the technical details behind it.

Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • Some people may associate coins which offer privacy protection with the “dark” web and other illegal activities, and while there is no denying that that is one of use of these types of currencies, there are other matters to consider.

Imagine for instance, you are a business accepting payment in Crypto currencies – your entire history of payments received is publicly available for everyone to view – competitors are able to see your cashflow, payments in and out. If you are a supplier to the business in question, you are also able to see your balance and also which other suppliers you are working with, this could be beneficial to them in price negotiations etc.

For the same reason, if you personally transact with someone online – they are able to see your wallet balance and history. For good reason people do not around transmitting their private bank balances publicly. If that person knows you personally or has your address ( for delivery goods etc ) then a criminal might seek to steal funds from you by forcing you to hand over the private keys to your wallet. Privacy is something that will become more important as we move forward, it’s already beginning to be taken more seriously with Ethereum looking to introduce to verify transactions while protecting a user’s privacy and functionality to provide anonymity for Bitcoin users. I truly believe that privacy is basic human right, despite what some governments will try and have you believe, and that expecting privacy does not mean you are a criminal or “have something to hide”.
