1. Monero picked up the anon baton after Darkcoin intentionally threw it away. Darkcoin voluntarily abandoned its brand and association with/quest for privacy/fungibility.
2. We should note that *IF* Monero people wanted to make silly stuff like soda machines and ATMs, these feats would be accomplished with much less hassle/drama/expense

Dash De-anonymization Contest
Icebreaker and other trolleros: I have donated $1 to Monero's development team. I sent 0.25 Dash (TX ID: 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba-000) to shapeshift.io, which converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to the official Monero donation address listed at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/.
I challenge you to de-anonymize this transaction. To make it just a little easier, I only used four rounds of Darksend, so it's exponentially less private than it would be with the maximum eight rounds.
Please tell me what address this transaction originated from.
Cheers!

2. I would love to double spend a monero soda machine. Or i guess i could wait 10 minutes for a coke while it fully confirms, lol. Dash Instantsend FTW!
It took monero over 2.5 years to release a official GUI so we could probably expect a double spend soda machine and atm sometime in the next decade or two.
