The history of dash: project was created in January 2014 by a development team led by Evan Duffield. Before launching the platform, Evan studied the algorithms of other coins for several years and came to the conclusion that the digital currency should preserve the anonymity of users. In the BTC wallet system, there were tools that ensure the confidentiality of transactions – mixers. But Duffield’s initiative to implement a built-in protocol to increase anonymity was not supported by the community. This prompted him to start a separate project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dash cryptocurrency previously had a different name – XCoin. In February 2014, the coin was given a more catchy name \u2013 DarkCoin, but this option was misassociated with the concept of shadow turnover of finance, and as a result, the developers settled on the name Dash (Short for Digital Cash).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cryptocurrency features<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The Dash coin (DASH) is used in a completely decentralized system: each member of the community can influence the approval of decisions on the development of the project. The network uses a complex mechanism for extracting new coins – the X11 protocol, which consists of 11 sequential functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What is Dash in simple words<\/span><\/h2>\n

    An overview of the Dash crypto coin allows us to highlight the following characteristics: it is a decentralized, fast and anonymous alternative to BTC. The system’s source code has principles similar to Bitcoin, including the Proof-of-Work mode, which allows new tokens to be mined. But unlike BTC, mining of this coin is possible both on video cards and on processors. In this case, “amateur” mining is meant, since for faster mining it is necessary to use special equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Despite the fact that ordinary users can mine new blocks, special servers called masternodes also participate in the transaction chain. These nodes act like mixers, splitting the translation into several parts and mixing that money. After the operation is processed by the masternodes, it becomes impossible to match the sender and the recipient. In theory, this guarantees almost complete anonymity. However, there are warnings from experts that the owners of the nodes can take possession of the confidential information of the participants in the transaction, although there was no direct confirmation of such cases as of 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
