Review of the Dash Coin and its technology

Today i want to tell you something about the Dash coin and the technology of this coin.
﻿
General informations:
﻿
Like many other older cryptocurrencies, Dash is a fork of the Bitcoin protocol.
The currency was launched in January 2014 as "Xcoin" by Evan Duffield.
﻿
It was rebranded as Darkcoin, which received press for being used in dark net markets. In March 2015, it rebranded again with the name Dash as a portmanteau of 'digital cash'. As of now, Dash is no longer used in any major dark net markets.
﻿
As of 2018 coins were mined using a proof of work algorithm with a hash function called "X11", with eleven rounds of hashing, and the average time to mine a coin was around two and a half minutes.
﻿
Currently the Block reward is 3.11 DASH for one block and the block time is 2.5 minutes.
﻿
Dash counts as coin with relatively anonymous transactions. It also provides the functionality to execute instant transactions, of course you have to pay higher fees for that.
﻿
 
My opinion:
﻿
Dash is a good project with a good code base and dev team. My problem with this coin is that i don't see the advantage compared to other projects and cryptocurrencies.
