4 Hurdles to Overcome Before Dash Is “Digital Cash” 
Dash, of course, is laser-focused on becoming “digital cash,” i.e. fulfilling Satoshi’s original vision as outlined in the original Bitcoin white paper. Bitcoin itself is apparently abandoning that goal, and Bitcoin Cash is just getting started, which means that Dash—with its InstantSend and PrivateSend features—is strongly positioned to dominate that market in the long term. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be significant hurdles to overcome. Here are four of the most notable challenges. |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Monero vs. Dash I have completed my analysis on Dash and Monero on the privacy aspect, basically the 2 only currencies that are even worth analysing, the others are really not even worth my time. I have wrote this lengthy, but throrough article about the subject, the Dash community might find it interesting: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@profitgenerator/dash-vs-moneroWhile Peter is a good reputable person from the Bitcoin Core
while Dash is a snake-oil
 Hello Peter. You may have and express your opinions. Besides the probability of breaking cryptonote is very slim even with QC, I have researched it.
No clue how you researched that and came to that conclusion (you didn't provide any reference) but if you are realy interested in a best privacy then you should make a more serious reasearch in that subject. QC is far more advanced already today than what most ppl do realize. You may see Mixing as technical inferior and from a crypto technical standpoint it certainly is however the mixing has the clear advantage that you will not be able to break it in afterward ever because it is not a technical fancy encryption on the open block chain for all enternity where you can put QC and whatever else we will see in the future on it later to crack it. I agree somewhat with you that the MC communication best should be encrypted. I myself am not even useing DASH privacy features. Not because I don't trust it but because so far it was of no real use to me. Dash is meanr to become digital cash. The private Send is just a usable addition Monero on the other hand has the privacy as the only feature and reason for existing. It has it uses. But honestly I don't understand why ppl always try to reduce Dash to it's PrivateSend mixing feature so they can compare it with something that only offers that feature and nothing more and than somewhat conclude..oh monero is better. Dash and monero do not play on the same crypto currency level. monero has it's limited use for the one privacy it has. Dash aims to become an all user all day digital cash. Seeing moneroens trying to fight dash all years is something very strange to observe. Monero is no alternative to Dash except you limit yourself to the one privacy feature and even on that one be carefully about what you think is safe thing. Truely research it or you will be in for a surprise in the future. You know what happend with moneroes past private transaction. Because of a mistake or not..you see how dangerous this permanet in blcokchain thing is if it comes to privacy. |

With the initial testing of the Dashpay wallet, the first stages of Evolution’s are starting to see the light. Over the course of the rest of the year, the alpha of Evolution will be released to partners for additional testing. According to the roadmap, Evolution will see a livenet release in February, with a mainnet public release in June. The Evolution upgrade will be a multi-stage, multi-year process to support millions of users around the world.

Your 'research' entailed a chat with someone on this thread. That is no research at all. Frankly I have better things to do with my time. Maybe if I had persisted and managed to read more I might have found some real research, I'll never know. But I do know that noone has yet broken Dash coin mixing, as far as I know there is a significant bounty for someone who does. Like you I also tried Dash and Monero when I first got interested in anonymity. My experiences with Monero were extremely disappointing and I feel I gave it much more than a fair shot. The full node was flaky and I couldn't run it. There was not even a graphical wallet, only a website. Dash versus Monero is no contest. I have concluded that Monero offers nothing for me. This is in total contrast to my experience of Dash. |

Dash is meanr to become digital cash. The private Send is just a usable addition
Monero on the other hand has the privacy as the only feature and reason for existing. It has it uses.
But honestly I don't understand why ppl always try to reduce Dash to it's PrivateSend mixing feature so they can compare it with something that only offers that feature and nothing more and than somewhat conclude..oh monero is better.
Dash and monero do not play on the same crypto currency level. monero has it's limited use for the one privacy it has.
Dash aims to become an all user all day digital cash.

Look I have said multiple times that Dash does have it's own value, it's just that from a privacy standpoint it's not good, and advertising Dash as a private currency is pretty dishonest in my opinion. It does have some good scaling system, and it might be even better than Bitcoin. But it has the same privacy problems as any other 1.0 type currency. So on that level I think Monero is better, that's all I said in the article. Regarding the QC things. I think a lot of them are scaremongerings. Even the DWAVE or what was it's name. That is a total nonsense, it's not even a quantum computer, it's only as quick as a supercomputer in some cases even slower.... I believe the most q-bits that they have successfully put together was like 4 bits which is nowhere near operational, the claims about 64 qbits and 128 qbits are all snake oils. However even then certain encryption algorihms to my understanding are unbreakable even with quantum computers because only certain operations are vulnerable. So all this QC scaremingering is nonsense. Monero's encryption is probably not vulnerable to any kind of quantum computing that they can invent in the near future, so I don't worry about that.
you are correct that you wrote a lengthy article, unfortunetely that lengthy article is thoroughly lacking :
* objectivity (a clear bias towards Monero is detectable throughout the article)
* knowledge about Dash, its privacy technology and the inner workings of its budget and governance system (creating a thread on Dashtalk and spending some time on Dash's testnet would have helped a lot i suspect)
* understanding that a good analysis consists of more then just copy & pasting comments from Bitcointalk forum to Steemit (frankly that is just lazy article writing)
Having said all that, i do want to congratulate you on the $5.61 that you raised on Steemit with your article.
Maybe I would have been kess biased if I would have not received that treatment from the community. That being said, again I am not saying that Dash is worthless, it has it's value, obviously, you can see the price. But I am just criticizing it's privacy technology, which is very weak in my opinion.

No I have done my research separately, I have read topics on stackexchange about some of the encryption system, and read the wikis too. I didn't want it to be too technical. I just pointed out my view on it. |

I just pointed out my view on it. Not sure about all this talk about our "privacy" being dishonest other then you have obviously not researched this properly. We've had a healthy bounty out for over 2 years for someone or group to break our privacy! It has not been done. Mean while....Moneros has been. So your point?!? Also if you had done your "research" ... you would have been informed that we have now hired and funded a "hacking" firm to stress test and find bugs and weaknesses in our code. Did you know that?!? We all know there is always room for improvement in ALL coins. I'm sure we can agree on that. Please spare us this poorly researched biased report masked as a lame attempt at vailed fud. |

He probably could if he had a spare 200-500 million dollars to buy enough master-nodes to have a few percent chance of cracking a handful of transactions....... Piss poor fud article based on a few conversations and hearsay, waste of time - come back to me when you have some proof based on mathematics or code to show transaction linking like Monero has been cracked. |

…from a privacy standpoint it's not good, and advertising Dash as a private currency is pretty dishonest in my opinion….so on that level I think Monero is better, that's all I said in the article. @profitgenerator212, Do you even realise you're comparing an encrypted blockchain with an unencrypted one ? If you had done - and stated that at the start of your "article" - you could have stopped right there because *anything* encrypted is going to be more "private" than its unencrypted equivalent since you're hiding the entire transacting environment under a layer of obfuscation. Which begs the question...why didn't Satoshi build encryption into bitcoin as a priority ? Why was transparency the priority over obfuscation ? You might find that a bit difficult to answer as long as you cling so religiously to this ridiculous assumption: People who say that Bitcoin is anonymous are morons, it's hardly better than your bank account, in fact it's worse from a privacy standpoint Lets analyse this statement for a moment. A bank account is “defined” by a contract of statutory ownership. Its balance is both nominated AND public, since it’s open to 3rd party human beings who act as auditors and endorsers of the transactions therein. What Satoshi did was to break the link with an “owner” to establish the following properties for a blockchain balance:
• there is no longer any statutory owner, balances are instead controlled by a keyholder who remains undefined right up until the point of deployment of the private key in order to “spend” the funds
• ‘accounts’ are no longer nominated
• the trusted 3rd party is removed and the public is now both auditor and endorser of value directly (by way of markets)
• although the blockchain itself is transparent, recourse is always needed to off-chain information to know anything about the nature of the transaction or the transactees, even if addresses are linkable
The result of these subtle but significant changes was *anonymity*. As stated above, you need off-chain information in every case to make any associations with human beings. Even if you happen to have it and can associate an address with an individual, as soon as that balance moves to a different address you’re straight back to square one. You once again need recourse to off-chain sources to rediscover anything about that new address. You can’t even know whether it’s still under the control of the original keyholder or a new one. Furthermore, if the address is a freshly created one there won’t even be any off-chain information to help you either. It is therefore nothing like a bank account. Satoshi implemented this decoupling of ownership and “control” in order support the one thing that underpins Bitcoin’s value more than any other - TRANSPARENCY. It is against this background that Dash’s privacy model is prioritised and that’s where your comparison might have been appropriate. For a start, Dash values “anonymity” over “privacy” which is something that Monero/Cryptonote does not. Dash maximises the anonymity of an address balance while also maximising the transparency of the transacting environment to provide high fidelity for BOTH keyholders and NON keyholders. An encrypted blockchain doesn’t attempt to decouple those priorities, it simply buries the entire transacting environment - warts an’ all - with the following results: See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg17896089#msg17896089Anonymity and fungibility.Your “article” makes no attempt to distinguish these terms, yet they are as distinct as “cash” and “credit”. A private transaction is one that no-one can see (in terms of its key components: originating balance before, originating balance after, target balance before, target balance after). An anonymous transaction is one that everyone can see but not glean any off-chain information from. With that in mind, “privacy” is not always the preferable of the two since it’s basically another word for obfuscation and obfuscation is toxic to authenticity. Flights with no radar coverage are more "private" than ones with it. A diamond you trade but never see is more "private" than one that you do. Zipped files are more "private" than unzipped ones, whether their contents are corrupt or not. Strong or Weak Privacy ?But I am just criticizing it's privacy technology, which is very weak in my opinion. What you actually mean is, “Dash is not an encrypted blockchain and Monero is”. No disagreement there, but that doesn’t make its privacy “weak”. Monero has a centralised privacy model - its protocol uses a single encryption algorithm to protect the entire blockchain. Dash’s, on the other hand is both transparent AND decentralised. Every mixing transaction is anonymised on a case by case basis using a different set of nodes with arbitrary denominations where actual address balances are used and new addresses are continuously created. Not only that, the fact that entire coin supply is being continuously mixed at random points and times creates analytic ‘firewalls’ on an ongoing basis which keeps it fungible holistically, not just at transaction level. This gives protection even to those not using private send in their own wallets. Finally, this little gem: “All data is potentially logged, so this means that anonymity = 0” Really ? I look forward to your whitepaper on that one. You’ll probably make more bounty money writing it and supplying it to the Dash devs that you will holding either coin. |
