Bitcoin Private Fork Aiming to Make Bitcoin Anonymous

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

The question is whether the miners will mine this new coin. Bitcoin is a SHA-256 coin which is mined primarily by ASICs (Antminers). ZCash (and many of the privacy-oriented coins) are ETHASH coins which can be mined by ordinary GPUs. Why make a privacy-based Bitcoin fork?
