one of my favorite coins. a great prospect in the future. you need to create a decentralized chat with the store for it. darkmagazine

Pros
  • An anonymous coin created by independent developers (that is what the people need). decentralized, different methods of mining, fast
Cons
  • implementation is slow because of the fact that society creates a coin on its knee with its own strength.

Great and important project that will have significant positive developments in the near future. XVG value will surely grow.

Pros
  • Verge focuses mainly on making cryptocurrency transactions and the ownership of tokens absolutely private. Verge renamed its current name in February 2016 and recently recorded a significant price increase when the Wraith protocol was released on January 9th. In addition it integrates both i2p and Tor anonymity architectures (more safety and anonymity).
Cons
  • The slowness syncing wallet due to being over the TOR network. Platform too technical and not so user-friendly.

VERGE has a bright future as a privacy-centric cryptocurrency. It is also supported on many exchanges making it easily distributable.

Pros
  • VERGE offers users the the utmost in privacy through a TOR-integrated wallet, public or private transactions using the Wraith protocol, and stealth addressing.
Cons
  • The wallet may take a very, very long time to sync due to being over the TOR network. Users should download the full blockchain and import it first. https[://]verge-blockchain[.]com/

Verge spits out a lot when it comes to her technology and its possibilities. However, the code is copied from another project and nothing that the crypto world has never seen before. Privacy is not automatically protected. For example, users must be careful to work exclusively with stealth addresses. Parts of the blockchain are public and so you can draw conclusions about cash flows via Blockchain analysis. Those who want to keep their account balances and cash flows private should probably…

Pros
  • According to the developers, Verge is one of the most innovative privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies. With the Wraith Protocol, which was rolled out in early 2018, users should be able to optionally protect their transaction from the curious eyes of third parties. Verge has two mechanisms for this: stealth addresses and TOR routing. Stealth addresses are generated from three components: the public view key, the public spend key, and random data. Only the receiver of a transaction can identify it for itself on the blockchain and later spend it on its own. The second special feature of Verge is the integration with TOR (The Onion Router). With the TOR network, the IP addresses of the transmitters can be obfuscated (ie obfuscated). Since the Wraith protocol update, all Verge nodes are hosted over the TOR network. Thus, the origin of a transaction is no longer recognizable.
Cons
  • Stealth addresses alone are not enough to anonymize the transactions on the Blockchain. They protect the receiver, but not the transmitter. If the transaction is sent from a public address, this is visible on the blockchain. In Verge Blockchain Explorer you can find transactions from public addresses to stealth addresses. It can be seen the credit of the sender address and incoming and outgoing transactions. It does not have much to do with anonymity. In a Verge transaction, the amount is always visible. This allows for an additional attack vector, namely when sending exceptionally specific amounts. Another weakness, which unfortunately has many privacy coins, and which Verge even interprets as strength, is the optional privacy. One would like to make some transactions public - for example, a donor organization that wants to assure the donors that no funds will be embezzled. The use of stealth addresses in Verge is opt-in, not opt-out. This means that anonymity is not standard. People will probably only use anonymity if they really need it. For a real anonymity in the whole system, it would be better if all transactions were done with stealth addresses. If someone wants to publish their wallet or a transaction, there is an explicit view key. Using blockchain analysis software, it is possible to get far-reaching conclusions about wallet connections. The know-your-customer policies on exchanges, in turn, provide a link between real identities and the pseudonyms of a blockchain.

Has a great future but nothing in sight for short term

Has a great future but nothing in sight for short term

Pros
  • Decent anonymous coin that can be switched to private or public.
Cons
  • Too many whiny kids in the community. Delays can happen but thats the price for developing new tech. Not much more in the works at this moment. Price is pretty stale

Verge is definitely the project that is going to bring high returns in the future due to its volatility and positioning on the market. However, it might not be the right coin for the new investors on the market that would like to manage their crypto assets in a passive way.

Pros
  • Verge does offer value by providing privacy and usability.
Cons
  • Large portion of Verge is held by the small group of people which has a negative effect on its volatility and potential pump and dump schemes. The coin price overreacts on the release of the positive news and afterwards quickly drops to the previous levels which might cause FUD among new cryptocurrency investors.

from buying on a exchange, XVG doesn't cost a lot to transfer out to your wallet. sending and receiving are done really fast compare to other cryptocurrency. They have nice wallets, but would like to see a little bit more of ''Oldtimer user friendly'', for quicker mass adoption. I like the coin, i have some, will buy more.

Pros
  • Privacy coin accepted already by a lot of retailers. experience team with dedication. Wallets with support available Website up to date and strong community nice coin to buy since its already on more exchange then some older coins/tokens good price as per 2018-02-05, Buy the fucking dip
Cons
  • still too technical for regular mainstream people, will needed to be simplify for all to use. privacy is still associated with illegal. I dont agree on this but the medias dont help with FUD.
