I have three trolls on my ignorelist, they are :

AdamWhite
TheDasher
iCEBREAKER

These trolls have been trolling the ANN Dash forum for some time now and have but one single purpose which is to derail our ANN thread and discredit
Dash by any means necessary even if that means blattently lying and spreading misinformation about Dash and its community.
i have learned the hard way to best deal with trolls like that is to put them on ignore which means i dont go into discussion with them in here
and only look at their posts to see if they have violated any of my three rules mentioned on my first post. Just rest assured anything coming from these
three individuals is pure FUD and attempts to discredit Dash .. nothing more, nothing less.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
In dash network all transaction are really anonymous and this is a final purpose of BTC project . i think dash and monero are best of alternatives ....

Dash has never implemented Masternode blinding, so its privacy is broken.

Here's what a Darkcoin core dev has to say about it:

darkcoin or however it will be called next year is not a decentralized entity.

this currency is lead by a single person.

darkcoin is like an old conservative company with strong hierarchical comamnd structures and a single person on the top of the pyramid.

fuck this i tell you.

darkcoin is not decentralized as it still relies on a single person.

the core devs were just a bunch of volunteers exploited for the big thing.

the things going on here are fishy, intransparent and rely on a single entity.

you are probably investors trying to win a gold donkey. or you are simply trying to exploit every possible vector of profit in the coins space. whatever. you are not here because darkcoin is something it claims to be.

what if evan duffield suddenly announces he quits the project tomorrow morning?

Only because of anonymity?

Although Dash at its core is an anonymity-focussed cryptocurrency, by now it has reached a point that it is capable of offering a lot more.
To understand what Dash have to offer more i will have to talk about what differentiate Dash from other cryptocurrencies :

Dash has a two-tier system, one tier is the POW mining that can be done with Dash, the second tier is the Masternode Network that enables
a Proof of Service protocol which not only helps with the Darksend mixing but also enables Dash to offer extra services on top of it. Extra services like
InstantX and having a decentralised budget system setup on blockchain level which will give it far more control over its own funds and last but not least
receiving revenues (income) from running a masternode (47.5% per block, to be extended to 50% in 2016).
These services have only recently been added and many more services will surely follow.

And to add to that : just like bitcoin should not be judged by its bitcoin price but by the use of the blockchain and the development of technology / services behind that blockchain,
Dash should not be judged by its current price but by the use of its two-tier system and the technology / services behind that.....

It will always have master nodes so it will always be obsolete but lucky we have SDC, i used to hold DRK BTW bought below $1

No offence but good luck getting out of the shadow of soo many coins before you (39 cryptocurrencies according coinmarket ?)
Yeah we in the shadows now but the crypto world can only ignore us for so long, have you looked into the project because i spend hours everyday looking at projects and i have seen nothing that compares to the speed of development and innovation, the team has a clear vision and money is not a motive for them.
I am here to support projects that are a cut above the rest and make money, i will not ignore a good project if i see one, and i have seen some good projects, just none that impress me as much as SDC.
SDC does have innovations but personally I don't see it being a breakout coin anywhere but the darkweb. I do think it will thrive there and continue to live past many other coins. I am sorry if you take that negative but it is a good thing, there needs to be coins for everyone.

There's nothing wrong at all with having alternatives to Bitcoin. We sometimes forget that Bitcoin is still just an experiment and a lot can still go wrong. As mentioned earlier, competition is healthy for crypto. Bitcoin certainly has the first mover advantage in the crypto space and Bitcoin has certainly done A LOT of the leg work in terms of promotion and getting the general public's attention. However, Satoshi made the code open source for a reason, he wanted competition because he knew Bitcoin is likely not going to be perfect. The question then comes down to people's perception of coins because many alt coins have the good fundamentals, but none have the scale of users like Bitcoin. That is why Bitcoin is king, the users. As demonstrated on this thread, many people's perceptions are heavily biased by their investments, so rational conversation can be hard to have at times. Regardless, I think it's about to get real interesting as crypto becomes widely known and accepted. Give it 3 years and our monetary future will be radically different. Cheers.
+ 1 competition drives innovation we need more devs with the ethics of Satoshi sure he made a lot of money but that was not the point of his project, his motive was to bring freedom to the people.
without BTC none of this would of happened, we are standing on the shoulders of giants, lets make him proud.

I think dash is not a better alternative but just that an alternative and it should be treated as such. It is a coin with decent features and for the altcoin world long term stability. I would suggest it being one of the coins to use for diversifying but not for a complete switch. Bitcoin is still king.

Thanks for your rational and well-thought reply, its much better to read then some of these rather short ''No'' posts i came across or posts of people just linking to other people's
opinion like they have no opinion of their own.

So thank you for having an opinion of your own and not affraid to express it, also my thanks to other posters who took the time to think about this and formulated
a rational and motivated reply.
 
 
Thanks I appreciate it, it seems like the Altcoin discussion happens to have a lot of biased due to people treating coins like sports teams, they love their team and think all else is shit and others want to know the best. It just isn't that simple and when money is involved you need to diversify not stack and shame.

We are not Even aiming for the darkweb, the reason we are building a decentralized market, untraceable transaction, and encrypted video vioce and text into the wallet  to make it the complete privacy platform is so the darknet is not needed anymore, this platform will be available from PC or mobile and the features i mentioned are just a fraction of what is planned.
why would anyone even go to the darkweb if they had this platform at there fingertips> only to visit CP sites in my opinion, the darkwebs use is 90% for the markets but they are centralized and useless, we are about to change that, our market has been in development for over a year now, by very very talented developers, this is not hype just fact.

For those people who seem to think Dash is nothing more then Bitcoin with a few code changes :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egDcPjd0JyI

In fact so much newly written code has been added in the past (X11 Chained Algo Rithm, Dark Gravity Wave, Masternodes Proof of Service setup, Darksend, InstantX), and as of today
is still being added (Decentralised Budgetting System for example) a mechanisme had to be developed to minimize the risk to Dash's mainnet blockchain.
That mechanisme is called spork technology which is used today more then ever.

Dash won't be a better alternative to bitcoin. It was a coin launched with $$ in mind from day 1. I just don't trust it.

I hate to say this because of all the annoying as shit xmr posts, but fundamentally, monero is a superior anon currency... as shitty and as clunky as it is to use currently. Fundamentals win in the long term.

(Maybe not monero, but some other coin which anonymity is guaranteed by math and not by external supervisors.)
Have you seen SDC?

DASH is the fourth in market cap so i dont think is the bst alternative.
Doge coin is good and litecoin too
NXT is going under major developements, so after depolyment i think NXT will be a much more stronger crypto.

Anyways i dont see why we need an alternative for BTC.
we need alternatives because that is what drives innovation.
