Honestly, which is better? Monero or Dash?

[Febo]

Dash is better and older but I like monero

Older by how much?

Dash is older only half year, but got mined first day because of a "bug" for like 5 years plus.

Monero was the first to offer anonymous transaction actually.
We can somehow just look at those newer ones today as just the derivative of monero.  Was interested to monero when i first heard of it.

Somewhat debatable. Darksend RC1 (release candidate 1) was announced April 17, 2014. Monero launched (with anon features) April 18, 2014. I don't know how well the Darksend RC1 worked, nor when Darksend had an official release (not merely a candidate). The first versions of Darksend were closed source; Monero has always been open source.

Monero was a fork/relaunch of Bytecoin, which was released about a month earlier with anon features included but also with a massive hidden premine, so Monero's code (but not the Monero blockchain) was indeed clearly first.

The first darksend transactions were early march or so: https://explorer.dash.org/tx/63f3f260aa874580c9a6aa9688e4de12d3e7985dfbeab0dd603c275f044bf7c9

Q: Honestly, which is better? Monero or Dash?

A: If you need to ask that question, you have much to learn and I recommend:

Don't buy Monero

I will remain impartial and not provide any advice regarding Dash. Make your own decision.

At today's On-chain Scaling conference, fluffypony gave an excellent talk about the importance and types of dynamic blocksizes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM2ra-LzMQk&feature=youtu.be

Monero has successfully used a dynamic blocksize for over two years, proving its resiliency and ability to respond nimbly by surviving DDOS attacks.

Dash has no plan for a dynamic blocksize; hardforking is required every single time it is adjusted up or down.

Here we go again.  

Put that information in your thread. You don't need to chase every coin thread on the forum to create flame wars. If DASH initiates that shit, we who matter will ignore them.

Are you that afraid that no one will bother to notice the feature, because maybe that feature isn't the first priority for everyone.

What matters in the end is your community and your adoption. If your project can't generate that without attacking other coins, then that says something about your coin's importance.

I think monero is better than dash.. monero has more potencial to grow than dash but dash is one of the long time altcoin.. and it is still alive..

This thread is about answering the question "Honestly, which is better? Monero or Dash?"

Part of an honest answer to the question recognizes Monero solved the dynamic blocksize problem two years ago, while Dash has to adjust manually with hardforks and arbitrary magic numbers.

Oh yeah ?

Can you fathom how many coins came from Quark ?

THOUSANDS !

And does any human on earth give two shits about Quark now ?

Besides who gives shit about ANON crap ?
It's a dumb idea that is going to attract hackers and govt agents and mass regulations
for all of crypto ..in a bad way !

Anon coin = gimmick coin.

I prefer my gimmicks to be productive & useful to some extent. LOL
Like Gridcoin or Prime coin.

But in reality no one cares right ?
Just go buy Ethereum & cross your fingers you don't get eaten by whales
before you can cash out & dump for that 1.2 BTC profit..

Want my advice guys ?
Don't be a "Bag Holder" ..simple enough ?

Wow spoetnik, you are so brutally frank. Aren't you even a bit concerned about hurting their (Monero's) feelings?

Do you enjoy making grown men cry.

DASH does seem to have moved on to payment systems, after realizing they had maxed out the anonymity gimick.

P.S. I think privacy might end up being important, but the most popular CC will simply copy the best privacy tech and integrate it.

The most popular crypto currency is bitcoin. But I do think it will integrate the privacy protocol.

[LiberOptions]

I think that both are good options. Each one has its own features and both offer complete anonymity. Its only a matter of choice.

There's no such thing as complete anonymity--as no coin can force you to do OSPEC--but of the two Monero is the one that offers end-to-end privacy, so it offers the superior design. Now whether you implement it correctly or are up to date in limiting attack vectors that exist in your OS, network, or other parts of your system, that depends on you. No coin can design and maintain your computer or your habits, so the best they can do is offer the best solution when you are following OSPEC and are diligent in your habits.

[socks435]

Well for me i think monero is the better than dash monero is one of the good invesment and its profitable than dash..
Its just my opinion..

[vincentvincent]

They both failed.

The poll is missing that choice!

[klbax381]

Monero is better for privacy since it has native support of it. Dash is faster and more popular imo. But Darksend is ugly
Monero is ninjamine, dash is instamine - both are scams

The Monero has very few miners and small community support. The coin is mainly botnet mined now.

The ultimate showdown thread.

Another seed for a flame war you mean?

Perfect answer!

Nicely said.

Posting in this epic thread again.

Also, buy Ethereum.
