Thanks for the responses. Very useful in my quest to determine which anoni-coin to support.
But, too bad you can't rein in the relentless trollers in the Dash thread. They are delusional to think their tactics will convert anyone on the fence (in a Dash thread, lol), and in fact, initially turned me against Monero.
I really don't know if Monero can succeed against the advantages that Dash is using so well, the marketing and user friendliness. Because a coin without a user base, a robust network, seems rather pointless. Nevertheless, it's a good fight, very entertaining. But it's not enough to have more ability. You still have to win in the ring.
People that post in DASH threads showing to those that read those threads how DASH was planed form beginning. They have nothing to do with Monero. DASH instaminers just defend themselves every time someone shows a flaw in their coin, that those people are somehow Monero marketing. Monero marketing that dont exist. Even you noticed it and you are not 3 years here.
People who are most eager against DASH instamine that was perfect for a PoS coin are just random crypto enthusiasts. Most have good understanding of crypto and most are here 5 years + and got some cheap Bitcoins. Generally they could be easier called that are part of Bitcoin marketing.
As you mention that marketing is bad word in threads that talks of Monero. It is not, just we look at Marketing as educating. At least I do, I am sure others do different. Monero is open for all and everyone can interpret it and do with it as they want. I am sure there will be lots of educational videos pictures and posts, what Monero is and why it is one of if not best money in existence so far, be written in near future. And those is best Marketing there can be.
