Lol, I mined 24 darkcoins in the beginning of 2014 with the GPU of my desktop PC.
It's good that I not sold it off in that time  .

Not to mention slow transaction times, bloated blockchain, almost non existant official releases, not very many full nodes on the network, and of course the opaque blockchain in which you have to trust there is no bad actor stealthily minting coins they shouldn't. But apart from that. Hey at least Monero has a graphical UI these days. It took a while.

Whoah hold on there buddy that is pure disinformation.

From what I researched Monero has over 1k nodes, well geographically dispersed, pretty decent for a project of it's size, while Dash's Masternode allegations still stand, due to it's costly nature we don't know whether it's the orignal devs setup the Masternodes or not, I personally highly doubt that many people have that much money to throw out on a node so, at the very least people should be vigilant about the Masternodes. So a sybil attack is more probable on Dash.

And you also seem to confuse Monero with Zcash. It's Zcash that has a totally non-transparent blockchain with "trusted" initialization. Monero is decentralized and trustless.


Now I don't know about "bloated blockchain", that's such a redundant term, almost everyone uses it to criticize a competitor. And the last time I sent a Monero TX (wasn't that long ago), the TX confirmed pretty quickly with decent fees.


So I think you are just trying to discredit Monero here from a competitor's point of view.


You are right on the GUI part though, I really had to learn the console commands just to make a wallet, pretty gruesome nerdy work, but I think it was worth it. A better GUI and possible mobile apps and such should be put out in the future though.

These are my actual first hand experiences when I tried using Monero. Admittedly from a while back, more than a year ago. But the experience was aweful. Maybe things have improved. I didn't know the number of nodes had crept up, last time I looked it was less than one thousand. I am not confused about Monero and Zcash. Both have opaque blockchains. You don't seem to get it, despite toknormals posts on the subject. Ah well. You can take a horse to water but not make it drink. By the way the ONLY reason I am even mentioning Monero is because you popped up on here going on about Monero versus Dash like its some kind of competition.

It's only Monero people who ever bring up Monero in this thread, and then claim there's some kind of competition.  Comparing Dash and Monero nowadays is like comparing an iPhone and a paperclip.  Sure, if you want to hold documents together you're better choosing the paperclip, but then declaring the iPhone inferior because your papers fell on the floor just makes you look stupid.

Coin market cap looks nice just now, only Dash in green. And currently sitting above Litecoin

Monero has Fluffypony ... with a guy like that in your team, your coin is supposed to fail hard.

There is some kind of competition.  More than one kind, but let's just focus on ring signatures vs DarkSend (now RingCT vs PrivateSend).

Do you know that although Evan is a smart, dedicated Dev, his solution to anonymity is NOT the best solution out there?

Google 'ring signiture,' google 'monero,' google 'darkwallet,' and you will find that you have put your trust a good solution, but NOT the best solution.

You dark loyalist's have a wierd saviour complex about your dev. He is alright, but he has nothing on the dev's of ring signature coins. They are hackers. They are genuine cryptographers. Evan Duffield is an everyday software designer who wanted to have a go at solving the anonymity problem.

Ring signatures are going to be implemented in V2. I will begin development immediately after I opensource V1.

I work on this full time.

That was three years ago.  Now it's 2017 and Dash's PrivateSend is still expensive, slow and ineffectual compared to Monero's RingCT.

IIRC gmax calld it "harmful garbage."

As far as I remember Monero people have always claimed their coin was special but then I got shocked when I heard that Monero had a flaw that could allow people to create Monero out of thin air. I know they supposedly fixed it recently but the question is if we can trust this modification  . And then they have this idiot in their team called Fluffypony that doesn't help the team's credibility.

The higher the price of DASH the more these Monero losers hijack the DASH thread.  

They must absolutely hate the fact they backed the wrong horse!!

Keep the shit talk coming mofos, if anything it just discredits Monero even more and pushes people to DASH!!  You sure as hell dont see DASH supporters crashing the Monero thread every day badmouthing it, even though it probably deserves it.  DASH supporters are a little better than that.

Interesting pull request : https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pulls

Cool, it got integrated into 12.2

Also it looks like we get more details about Instantsend and its security concerns in 3 days :

[Diego24]

Cool story.  Now let's get back on topic.

It is not a story.

You are very worried about Dash ... maybe you should start worrying about your own coin.

Damn - Monero has some really big problems right now!

I'm not really surprised to see Monero trolls in the Dash thread trying to kick up a stink as we're the coin to beat and launched before they did.

Can someone please explain to me why Monero Avg Transactions Fees are over $100 for last 5 days!!!!

No Fluff just Facts!

Don't you mean fees ?

Is the dashninja.pl offline ?
Is owner aware?

[afbitcoins]

Instant send was fixed but since the new release is out soon it was bundled into that. Dash has a history of delivering everything thats promised.

Monero doesn't even have 'releases'. You just grab the latest dev version and hope it works.

Yes looks offline to me too qwizzie

NeoCash Radio Appearance on DIP001, Venezuela Conferences, and August’s Crowdfunded London Trip

Last night I went on NeoCash Radio again to talk about all the amazing things happening in the Dash community lately. We covered DIP001 (the first of the Dash Improvement Proposals), soon-to-be lowered fees in a world where many top cryptocurrencies are going up in transaction cost, and the amazing success of the Dash Caracas conferences in Venezuela. We also gave a special shoutout to August Domanchuk, NeoCash fan and aspiring developer who crowdfunded his trip to the London conference.

Yes it has made impact on dashcoin's price. Dash has advanced on it’s short term ascending channel which started forming after a major support test in $220 range. It’s overall in a positive bias and might test $400 level soon.
DASH continues to trend higher in the higher time frame charts with major resistance expected at 412.20.
Price action broke above minor resistance at 330.00 on Monday signaling increasing bull momentum.
At 362.00, chances of a break above immediate resistance at 412 is likely.
