What else you need to know about Dash (always handy to get some information not straight from the dash-propaganda-force):
Dash isn't cryptographically sound at all:
- cryptographer Andrew Poelstra:
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29471/are-there-any-true-anonymous-cryptocurrencies : And by the way, Dash (formerly Darkcoin) does not provide anonymity. They attached a (broken) implementation of CoinJoin to the ordinary Bitcoin client, and at least initially released it as a closed-source software. I haven't looked into Anoncoin, but the best advice I have for folks looking into altcoins is to assume they are uninteresting (and probably dangerously broken) until someone has demonstrated a concrete technical innovation.
- cryptographer Gregory Maxwell:
https://youtu.be/LHPYNZ8i1cU --> 34:11: "Dash isn't cryptographically private at all...it's snakeoil and I'm just sort of beside myself about it, personally." Note that the whole room at coinbase is laughing at Dash...
- Peter Todd:

The response is always the same: everyone is a dash-hater, a troll, etc...
https://www.dashforcenews.com/5-biggest-dash-haters-cryptocurrency/Dash is a well oiled marketing machine, but that's about it... They tell you nice stories, but they're mostly lies, they have a beautiful girl trying to sell their 'product', hell, they even pay people to open a dash-wallet (
