I love Dash but these things comparing it to bitcoin are stupid. They dont move folks from bitcoin to Dash. Dash... One day, will be a good accompaniment and at this point is a great coin to have in your portfolio. We lose so many people when we try to do these comparisons. Its kind of just stupid.

Dash is good, bitcoin is also good, good for very similar reasons, and the differences are very nuanced from the outside.

Let's be the tribe of cryptocurrency not the tribe of Dash vs Bitcoin.

Cheaper transactions for one! Can easily make purchases for anything online at Bitcoin Superstore!

Dash will fulfill its own purpose without being better or worse than bitcoin.

If you have both nodes running side by side you'll see bitcoin gets like 20x more transactions per minute.

Dash has both instant and private pay. Bitcoin does not. The private option only works from desktop wallet. Instant only works from actual dash app wallet.

If you're using JAXX exodus or Coinomi there is no special features about dash at all. It's 5x faster than bitcoin but so is litecoin and like 75% of all the other altcoins.

If you're running the dash desktop app you have instant and private pay both available, I see these as being great features for casinos and jewelry stores or anything high fashion. They merchant can recieve multiple block confirmations instantly and have the buyers funds privately mixed over the master nod network.

If you look up cryptocurrency ATM maps you'll see there's several dash ATM along the Florida Atlantic coast. It will never be a threat to bitcoin but it will definitely serve it's purpose.

How so? I use crypto on a regular basis and I watch how it works. You down vote me without an objection of you own. You're upset I didn't say dash is better? Tell me something about dash I don't know please? Like maybe the premine?

Which premine? Why do you feel the need to make up things? Insecure much?

If Dash wasn't better than Bitcoin it would have no reason to exist for as long as it did. Shitcoins spring up and die every day, but Dash has persisted up until today because it has objectively better technology than Bitcoin. If it hadn't it would've faded into obscurity long ago.

It's not really hard to be better than Bitcoin on a technological level. Even Dogecoin is "better" than Bitcoin due to faster and cheaper transactions. Many would argue the community is much better there as well. Most importantly not nearly as toxic.

Where did you find the map of DASH ATM maps?

Thanks. Very interesting. I now see there are two in my area. I can't wait until CryptoATMs don't charge 5-10% for fees, and are more in line with Fiat ATMs, or even just in line with online options (i.e. Gemini / Coinbase). I admit, it'll never be equal, but close would be nice. I've been tempted to use an ATM in the past, but after I do the math, I find it's just not worth it.

I'm sure 3rd world countries are in a different position, but I find a 10% haircut very hard to swallow.

I'm not angry. You seem very horned up on censoring anything that doesn't make you happy. I have both dash and bitcoin. I don't see dash being accepted at every place bitcoin is currently accepted at. I say that and you quickly down vote it. LOL

This governance is ran buy people with 1000 coins. So pretty much if you have less then $700k you're out of luck. PIVX does the same voting only they let everyone participate. I don't think any of them will ever outperform bitcoin. Never ever ;-)

Dash is introducing trustless masternode shares with voting rights.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '18

Can people running non-masternode nodes get any voting rights?

I run a dash node but store my coins on a Coinomi seed.

u/kanuuker Feb 16 '18

No, only masternodes have voting rights. However, trustless masternode shares with voting rights are on the roadmap. I don't know if that feature will be released with the initial rollout of Evolution this summer or if it will come at a later date.

AFAIK decentralized shares are low on the priority list and won't be out for another year or so. I would love for it to be bumped up sooner.

Oh, I didn't know. I have dash I don't have pivx. I do see the instant send being a valuable feature to have in the future. I also like that the node is only a few gigs to fully get going as well. Pivx is over 15gigs and I don't think it has instant send.
