I am not touching XMR due to trolls, wile developers and lack of gui wallet. Also, its backed up by known scammers, not touching anything scammers are involved in.
Dont care for darkmarkets, dont care for current market cap, really dont.
Its easier to integrate DASH to other platforms, its fast, private, great developers, and great improvements. DASH value was suppresed due to Craptsy, but now reaching true evaluation. I love that DASH is accepted in wide range of exchanges, and hope it can move away from poloniex and be more widely distributed.
If anything happened to poloniex, sure DASH would take a hit, but would survive and the markets would be quickly redistributed as poloniex holds only 50-60% of trades, but what would happen to XMR if poloniex took a hit with 97% trade there?
Sorry about the trolls. Really I am. But we don't have any control over people like icebreaker. He does what he wants.
The lack of a gui wallet is for a good reason. It's just not as important as some of the fundemental stuff. Like the lmdb database, ZeroMQ and libraryizing. Its easy to judge monero vs dash in this regard but its an apples to oranges comparison. You guys cloned bitcoin while our dev team started (almost) from scratch. And what they did inherrit was so broken it would probably almost been better to start from scratch. You inherrited all of the strengths of bitcoin, its easy to slap a gui on-top of that. We had more pressing matters to attend to than a gui.
And yes cloning bitcoin is a strength of dash, but so is the fact that monero is brand new code base. They are different strengths that are advantageous in different ways.
Yes all our volume is on polo. But thats because very few exchanges adopted monero again because its not a clone of bitcoin. All the clones are just plug and play with the systems these exchanges already have. They have standardized RPC interfaces. It took custom work and individual technical skill to implement monero on the exchanges it was implemented on. But again, you shouldnt analyze this weakness in a vacuum, that weakness is a product of something more fundamental that is also an advantage in its own ways.
