    I’m sure there’s probably more than one and I don’t even remember which it was that I saw, but a quick search turns up GNO which is said to be privacy-focused although it isn’t immediately clear how exactly it works.

    Personally I’m rooting for something non-blockchain for the electronic payments system of the near-ish future: GNU Taler. It solves enough privacy problems to be useful, making it much better than what most of the world uses now, without immediately becoming the basis for a pyramid scheme, an instrument for pump-and-dump scams, a means of receiving big ransom payments, or a big flashing target for banking regulators.

      Oh dear, a token. Again, I’m not following any cryptocurrencies but tokens seem to pop up in the bad news column often.
