So, back to the topic...Dash, a coin with real original features and code
Please tell us what portion of the code in Dash is ripped off from Bitcoin?
All these discussions about "features" and "innovation" in Dash ignore the fact that below the surface the vast majority of the functionality and code is just a Bitcoin copy.
It is more like a Litecoin copy, including my favorite the fixed blocksize limit.
Virtually all Litecoin code and functionality is also ripped off from Bitcoin so there is not really a difference.
It does appear they rebased Dash on a newer Bitcoin release though, so what Minotaur26 said about it no longer being a modified Litecoin fork appears correct for the current code, though historically that's how it was developed.
