Comparing current Masternode coins — including hidden gems
In my first article i want to compare several interesting masternode coins with solid characteristics, usecases, active developement and a good to high return of investment.
Some of them are quite new, most of them are already established for a longer time. Almost all of them are lowcap coins with a high grow potential.
And in my opinion all of the introduced coins are worth investing in. In many of them i´m invested or have been invested before.
MN= Masternode
POS = Proof of Stake (staking)
ROI = Return on Investment (rewards for MN/POS)
rating refers to current situation

Other usecases for $LABX are their lottery and other things to come..
A lot of $LABX coins are constantly burnt every month (from their platform fees).
$LABX has a very low available supply and given the low price a high potential to grow to several dollars.

Pivx — $PIVX
The primary focus of the cryptocurrency is to make all the transactions as secure, private and smooth as possible. PIVX has faced a lot of issues of recent times with members of the core development team leaving, the Zerocoin protocol being cracked leading to a significant reduction in value of the coin. The good news is development remains active from both the core development team and community developers working on future releases of cold staking, version 4.0 wallet and eventually a new privacy protocol. The new protocol is required to return privacy to the PIVX coin which was lost with the Zerocoin crack.

ZCoin — $ZCX
ZCoin is one of the major privacy coins that attempts to establish anonymous transactions, fungibility and decentralization of mining in a unique and scalable way. Development of the coin is very active with the recently released Sigma Protocol which allows users to have complete privacy via zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs. Znodes are similar to master nodes in that they are computers on the ZCoin network that are running a full copy of the blockchain, and are working to process transactions. Those running Znodes are required to stake 1,000 ZCoins however, as a way to prove that they are highly invested in the ZCoin network. The stake is an incentive to keep the network running honestly and with consistent uptime. Zcoin is in the top 100 on coinmarketcap with solid volume and listings on over 40 exchanges including Binance and Huobi global. Whilst Zcoin has a relatively low ROI due to the maturity of the project the advancement it is making in development of privacy is great for the entire crypto market and should be supported.
