These coin all employ some anonymity features. Some real shallow (such a Verge only routing traffic over TOR) and some more elaborate (such as ZCash with zero knowledge proofs).
If you define truly anonymous as having no way to see transaction addresses and amounts, no way to check balances and history and these features all active by default... it would leave you with Monero and Aeon.
Of course other differences exist, such as vulnerable crytography (Zcoin), a potentially flawed "trusted setup" (ZCash, ZenCash), etc
When I checked out Medium, they had no Markdown support and very limited formatting options. Not good for code examples. Also no option to use your own domain.
Also I think that the copyright is (better) protected on Svbtle. All in all it seems like a better option to me.

I got the invite some two weeks ago. The acceptance of my sloppy application already lead me to believe they were opening up the site pretty soon. Just working through the backlog.
Just a thought: will Newtonian dynamics not introduce a significant error over these speeds and distances? I believe that Newton's physics are just a simplification of Einsteins Relativity. I am obviously not a physicist, so I hope somebody can straighten me out.
Also I am not sure that we know all the weights of the celestial bodies with enough precision not the introduce an error while performing a 'slingshot'. Rosetta has propulsion and my guess it that it can be used to actively correct small mistakes in positioning.
In all fairness, it was not completely shut down. The main computer and some heating was left active. I do not think that time keeping was biggest worry.
That being said, a hundred other things could have gone wrong and mission control would have had no idea that something happened. Meteorite impacts, misalignment of the solar panels, software bugs, radiation damage and a faulty wake-up sequence are just some things that spring to mind.
Bad thing is that most of these could result in the spacecraft not even being able to send out a ping. Or any information that would tell engineers what went wrong and how to fix it for future missions.
Imagine just listening to silence and not being able to find out if any of it was your mistake.
