Monero is the most significant privacy-focused cryptocurrency on the market. It was created in 2014. The main feature of Monero is mixing of transactions in the blockchain.

It saves this network from centralization and gives an opportunity for GPU owners to earn something from mining Monero.
Despite its lack of serious marketing campaign Monero has gained a strong following on different forums and social media platforms. In 2016 the price of Monero began to grow. Nowadays this currency is one of the top 15 cryptocurrencies by its market cap.
