Dash is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency with a strong focus on the payments industry. Dash offers a form of money that is anonymous, portable, inexpensive and fast. It can be spent securely both online and in person with only minimal transaction fees. Based on the Bitcoin project, Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments system in the world. In addition to Bitcoin's feature set, Dash currently also includes a second-layer network of masternodes to facilitate instant transactions (InstantSend), private transactions (PrivateSend) and governance functions to create a self-governing and self-funding network capable of paying individuals and businesses for work that adds value to Dash. This decentralized governance and budgeting system makes it one of the first ever successful decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).

SifCoin (6 hash) + QubitCoin (5 hash) = XCoin(11 hash)   )))

If you can't compile wallets or pay someone to do it on launch just don't bother.

This is stupid, only linux wallet on release.

Good, killed the coin... biggest cpu miners are linux anyway so let them rape and then windows folks will never use it.

All these new alts need to die.

Someone compile wallets before release please! (Someone should[?] do a coingen-like site compiling the wallets of those who can't do it)

@OP: Which hashing algos? More info!  

The clients / pool are on their way. We're working on them.

what with GenesisBlock?

From what I can see, there was much original work done on this coin... Many new algos I am not aware have been used before, look at this!

Plus all the extra work I'm seeing here on the coin:

In short, it's seems to be much more than a simple clone coin. Kudos to the dev!
