As BlockSci’s whitepaper explains, there are very few cryptocurrencies which have eluded their scrutiny. One of those currencies is Monero, as it provides a degree of anonymity and obfuscation the group has not been able to crack just yet. Monero is officially labeled an “unsupported blockchain due to it not following the one-input one-output paradigm.” That is an interesting point which shows how Monero may be the only cryptocurrency providing full privacy and anonymity right now.

Claming privacy enforced... Monero [up until basically now] doesn't either. Z's "optional" is a plainly documented feature. All are 'opensource', "communities" can "back" / ignore / fork them at will. Only Zencash has TLS and full overlay network support today. Comparing Monero to the Z-family of currencies can't be done with just newsbites. The debate between Monero and Z-family is ongoing, and depends a lot on future developments, both of their own, and in the space. Don't expect any existing currency to survive long term. Be prepared to migrate, often, over the near towards long term.
