Old news. More of the same. Too little and too late.
The CEO of Dash Core Incorporated(tm) can just checkpoint whenever there is an imminent threat like a another Binance theft or 51% NiceHash attack. Security via central authority, try to beat that!
Ignoring the longest chain worked out very well for for BitcoinXT and can only help Dash in the same way.
Nakamoto Consensus is ancient and broken. Dash knows better than to use 10 year old technology when they can just roll their own critical consensus protocols and ship them to mainnet after only a day or two of testing the 6th(!) release candidate.
