Thanks for the detailed reply Graham!
Just a clarification, Chaincoin was released before Darkcoin and was originally based on Zetacoin/Bitcoin, so the 11 chained hashing algo was first done by Chaincoin. Chaincoin only later adopted the Dash code base.
It's just my own idiosyncratic take on things.
Tsk tsk, I
knew I should have checked the actual commit dates. I stand corrected, thank you.
Cheers
Graham
