Jeez - DASH? Haha! High performance luxury sportcars? Deluded, dude.

Fact is, it had none of the vulnerabilities that Monero had in the past. Monero shillers keep yelling how bad Dash is and it offers no good protection, yet they provide zero evidence to back up their claim.

Monero is cutting edge tech and in continuous development to remain so. Being the leader in any field means trying out new things, that were never tested before. As with Bitcoin, yes - new potential attacks vectors or vulnerabilities have been discovered, and they have all been dealt with.

DarkCoin / Dash is older tech, not decentralised, optionally private (which means effectively not private at all) and not fungible. It has a transparent-by-default blockchain and just uses a version of Coinjoin as a mixer. Talk about old tech, there you go - but you surely know this? Do you really trust Evan, would you want one of his masternodes?

Loki went even further and acknowledges that Dash' masternode setup isn't optimal and completely redesigned it to avoid that structure from being exploited by adversaries as has been theorized. It furthermore builds on top of Monero tech, which i agree seems currently quite solid tech.

Monero overtook Dash an age ago

When did that happen? Monero has quite a bad track record when it comes to vulnerabilities and bugs, how about Dash...?

... exactly...
The marketcap surely seems to disagree with you, and you seem to value marketcap indication... So the question stands...

Er... for years Dash was always above Monero on Coinmarketcap. Now Monero looks in the rear view mirror. You should maybe check up before you make assertions that are out of date. As for your admission that Dash's Masternode system is (as you put it) 'not optimal' - thanks for acknowledging one fatal flaw at least. I guess you would not want a masternode, then. Also your appreciation of Monero's 'solid tech' is noted.

and I have not actually seen a lot of the others you mention - I don't look that far down Cryptomarketcap.

Maybe you should look into new tech, specially if you're a fan of Monero tech, there are projects that are Monero and so much more.

I keep my eyes and my mind open. I don't just ahem.. 'follow' Monero. I have diverse interests, as I am sure do you... although we have a different approach to talking about it, evidently. For instance, I wouldn't bother to troll - I am not interested in diving into other CC's threads (rather pointlessly IMHO) to wind them up, or try to tell them they're wrong. I can't help wondering why you do.

Monero's not a Bitcoin clone 'old tech' coin either, do some proper research if you want to troll, kwukduck.

It's not? So they change a few lines of code here and there, it's still 1st gen blockchain tech which is just inefficient, slow, bulky.
Ever wonder why we don't use tape deck players anymore? Yea, for that reason Monero as well as Bitcoin will not be used anymore within a short span of time.

If Bitcoin was 1st generation then Dash still is, but Monero was based upon the Cryptonight algo, launched about 5 years later than Bitcoin and developed much further since - in too many ways to mention - which again you surely know.

There will always be new and better things arriving in technology, and when they appear, wise people look into them. That is how I ended up here. Maybe Bitcoin and Monero will be out of date at some point, that is impossible to deny over the long term, but it's not happened yet.

Long time no see. You haven't been missed. And you're a bit late for the troll season, too - losing your touch, I guess. Bless.

It's never too late to wake people up.

Ha! So you do have a sense of humour. I doubt I will persuade you to give up your crusade against Monero and of course your long-standing assurances that Bitcoin is about to die. However, I would advise you or anybody else to look at what these two well-developed first-mover coins have, as opposed to many of the ones you seem to suggest are far better.

That is; decentralisation, no premine, strong community support, excellent active development and actual proven real-world use cases.
