Based on CryptoNote technology | https://cryptonote.org/
and Bytecoin | https://bytecoin.org
Dashcoin (DSH) is a cryptocurrency started on July 5, 2014. Dashcoin is a fork of Bytecoin and uses the unique algorithm CryptoNite. Our goal with Dashcoin is to create a perfect mirror image of Bytecoin, the first CryptoNote based cryptocurrency, at any given moment of time. Automatically.
Specifications
- Algorithm: CryptoNight
- 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: 18 446 744 073 709 551 616 atomic units (= 184.46 billion DSH)
Coin Information
- True anonymity & data protection
- Untraceable payments use ring signature
- Unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender
- Blockchain analysis resistant
- Only CPU-mining & ASIC-resistant
- POW mechanism is a voting system for users
- Multi-signature transactions
Why 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. And 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.
Even more - such a process can be automated!
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.

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.
