New Monero (XMR) Competitor Surfaces: Decred Privacy Coin 

Interest in Bitcoin and cryptos is still surging, and after Monero’s Riccardo Spagni addressed the importance of privacy, interest in XMR is also on the rise. Decrypt.co notes that Decred is a new coin that aims to compete with Monero.

“And running on only a few hundred lines of code, which purportedly makes it less prone to errors or transactional problems, Decred’s project lead Jake Yocom-Piatt tells Decrypt that this makes Decred a “more effective” alternative to privacy coins like Monero and Zcash,” according to the online magazine mentioned above. They also note that Monero and Zcash probably offer higher privacy features, but Decred’s special ingredient is its simplicity.
