"Monero is probably the best but still doesn't provide any math based garuntees,"

Can you elaborate on why you say this and what you mean by it? From what i've seen no entities, including governments, have been able to crack Monero's privacy, so i'm pretty interested if there's an obvious flaw.



I do not know where they found the information to conclude there are no math based guarantees.

The initial version of Monero had a flaw but if you start transacting now I do not believe anyone can deanonymize wallet ids or amounts.

Even if there's a 51% takeover, those guys would just be able to mint new coins, they still wouldn't be able to see the amounts and wallet ids.

Also, confidential transactions and optimizations (bulletproofs) are math proven.

Zcash and Dash with their optional privacy just leave everyone vulnerable to deanonymization.
