Pirate Chain is a privacy focused cryptocurrency that is based on Komodo's dPoW consensus mechanism. Pirate Chain uses ZK-Snark cryptography to secure transactions that are sent on their anonymous, decentralized network.

Bitcoin Private is a community-driven fork of the Bitcoin protocol. It is somewhat unique in that it was created as a result of a privacy-focused co-fork of Bitcoin and ZClassic. Coins were distributed on a 1:1 basis to BTC and ZCL holders. Bitcoin Private (BTCP) uses the same privacy technology as ZClassic (zk-snarks). Transactions are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient and other transactional metadata remain anonymous. Bitcoin Private has a larger block size, and enables anonymous transactions that are more secure than the original Bitcoin protocol.

Bytecoin is a privacy focused blockchain that aims to be completely anonymous. It is the first digital currency based on CryptoNote technology and uses ring signatures. Bytecoin utilizes one-time addresses and multi-signatures to enhance security. Bytecoin has high transaction speeds and users are in complete control their personal information. Any identifiable details can only be seen if you allow it. Bytecoin, and CryptoNote, have led to several popular forks. Monero and Dash are both Bytecoin forks. The CryptoNote Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm was designed to provide ASIC resistance and enables anyone with a personal computer to mine it.
