Dashcoin [DSH] is a cryptocurrency started on July 5, 2014. Dashcoin is a fork of Bytecoin and uses the unique algorithm CryptoNote.
The goal with Dashcoin is to create a perfect mirror image of Bytecoin, the first CryptoNote based cryptocurrency, at any given moment of time. Automatically. WITHOUT THE 82% PREMINE.

Specifications

    Algorithm: CryptoNote
    Block time: 120 seconds (2 minutes)
    Difficulty retargets each block
    Block reward decreases each block according to the formula:
    BaseReward = (MSupply - A)/218,  where MSupply = (264 - 1) atomic units and 'A' is amount of already generated coins
    One coin is divisible down to 8 decimal places (divisible up to 108)
    Total coins: 18 446 744 atomic units (= 18.446 Million DSH)

Coin Information

    True anonymity & data protection
    Untraceable payments use ring signature
    Unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender
    Blockchain analysis resistant
    CPU, GPU mining & ASIC-resistant
    POW mechanism is a voting system for users
    Multi-signature transactions

Current level of automation

    Source code
    Automatically generated binaries for Windows
    Automatically generated binaries for Mac OS X
    Automatically generated binaries for Linux
Targeted synchronization with the latest Bytecoin code and binaries - 1 hour.



Mirror image is better than self sustained fork
The reason is simple - costs. Self sustained forks demand a lot of development time, if you want to build a well maintained cryptocurrency.
If the network grows, the required development time is likely to grow too.
A simpler, and less costly way to maintain a network with high reliability is to create a self mutating copy of it.
Mutating copy is a simple copy of the original source, mutating every time the original source mutates.

Support Dashcoin
Dashcoin has no premine and even that developer costs are not high compared to other coins, we still need servers and development time to run the coin. Donate for more reliable network.
