Dash is not instant when used anonymously (you must wait hours/days for premixing) and you rely on many 3rd parties; Masternodes/VPS companies.

You said it yourself: PREmixing. Even with non-finished mixing you have a partial anonymized balance which can be spent instantly. DarkSend is becoming default in Evolution rendering mixing obsolete anyway.

What do you mean "DarkSend is becoming default in Evolution rendering mixing obsolete"? Is DarkSend not mixing? Is Dash cancelling the privacy aspect of their coin? Or are you suggesting DarkSend will work instantly and by default whenever Evolution is released? Now I see you're saying:

Mandatory anonymity at the expense of efficiency & usability was a terrible idea.

So Dash is actually just a clone of Bitcoin with unmixed coins and tainted coins with the one innovation of a currently closed source instantX feature?

If so, great - ppl in Dash should stop marketing it as having better fungibility, untraceability and privacy!

Bitcoin/Bitclones also rely on many 3rd parties. They're called miners. And they are nothing other than nodes collaborating in self-interest. Exactly like the MasterNode network.

Yes, exactly; with the small difference that the third party MasterNodes will not be involved in the mixing process nor (I guess) collecting fees for services not rendered. That leaves them with instantX transaction fees (3 cents each) and

After the upcoming Dash Evolution release, this fee will be omitted for most transactions

So MasterNodes will likely compete with Miners to sell dash with the only incentive to hold being speculation on adoption.

Right now Dash has either privacy or faster transactions, but not both.

Proven wrong by the above.

So you've proven my fact wrong by ignoring it and saying it's going to work different soon?
