What is Pirate Chain Coin?

Pirate Chain is a privacy-focused crypto built on the strongest privacy protocol in the world today. It utilizes a combination of the best technologies from different platforms such as the Delayed Proof-of-Work (DPoW) protocol from Komodo, zero knowledge-succinct non-interactive argument of recursive knowledge (zkSNARK) from ZCash, and the rule of enforced private-only transactions used by Monero. Unlike other coins that offer optional privacy, $ARRR crypto has 100% privacy by shielding every transaction. Why does this make them absolutely private and anonymous? To understand that we need to review how ZCash is a poor choice for privacy. You see, blockchain is all about tracking the transactions, with ZCash, less than 1% of transactions are private because users don’t know how to use the private mode or they are too lazy to do so. As such CipherTrace publicly demonstrated the tracking of private transactions by analyzing data from the non-private ones. As all transactions on Pirate Chain are private, there is no public data to be analysed.

Pirate Chain utilizes Komodo’s DPoW which is notarized onto both the Litecoin and Komodo blockchains. Therefore, any attempt by a malicious actor to conduct a Sybil attack against the $ARRR blockchain would require the actor to overcome the hashrates of Pirate, Komodo, and Litecoin. To succeed in such an attack would require an astronomical cost that’s nearly impossible.

Who are the Founders of $ARRR?

The Pirate Chain cryptocurrency was initially launched in August 2018 by a number of developers from the Komodo blockchain community. They utilized the Discord messaging platform. So far, more than 100 contributors have worked on the Pirate Chain project since its launch to help the project grow and develop. The majority of these contributors have helped by providing coding, marketing, partnership development among other skills. Working in a team-fashion manner, these people contributed all sorts of knowledge and experience to the project.

What Makes Pirate Chain Unique?

As reiterated earlier, Pirate Chain offers 100% privacy features. Other privacy coins in the same industry offer optional privacy features. Unlike them, $ARRR uses the zk-SNARKS (Zero Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) protocol. What this protocol does is allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true without having to reveal any information concerning the statement. That is why the name is “zero-knowledge proof.” These proofs can be verified in a matter of milliseconds.

All information about the transaction such as the sender’s address, the transaction amount, the address of the receiver, and the transaction ID is never revealed. This information is only available to both the sender and the receiver. And, they both have the power of choice to opt-out of privacy by revealing the transaction ID as proof of transaction. In essence, it brings or sets the power of privacy back into the hands of the users by empowering them with the option to opt out.

Perspectives of $ARRR

When Pirate Chain first entered the cryptocurrency market, it was not as popular as it is right now. Therefore, its price stayed relatively low until August 2020 when it first rose above the $0.1 threshold. However, it didn’t retain this position for too long. On April 23rd 2021, its price shot up to $16.90. It has dropped since then and has been trading just above the $2 mark. Despite the performance, a lot of forecasting services predict that the price of $ARRR will rise if it becomes more mainstream and adopted over alternative privacy cryptos.

Some of these popular price predictions include:

WalletInvestor

WalletInvestor predicts that the price of $ARRR will rise to $6.896 within a year. If this happens, then the long-term earning potential is around 188.78%. Their price prediction for the end of 2026 is $24.030.

DigitalCoin

DigitalCoin predicts that the price of $ARRR will rise to $12.6195426 within the next 5 years. It expects a price of $4.7061138 by 2022 with continued growth into the years 2023 and 2024. Therefore, according to them, $ARRR is a long-term profitable investment especially for those who value privacy the most.

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label.

What is average transaction time?

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.
