Demos and usage of Bitcoin and DASH (Digital Cash).

Details

DASH is the rebranding of the blockchain project that went under the name of Darkcoin during its earlier stages of development. The earlier name was a ply on the first altcoin, Litecoin, and also alluded to the fact that DASH was the first coin to offer true anonymity and privacy to users. International Business Times article here. (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/darkcoin-rebrand-dash-better-represent-cryptocurrencys-digital-cash-platform-1492299)

Companies often have internal code names for projects and programmers, being surprisingly funny folks, often give their projects names that cause the marketing and sales people to shudder. This is what happened when Darkcoin began to mature. The name DASH, short for Digital Cash is much better suited to the rollout of what is now a fairly mature product with two important features: 1) Very good privacy and 2) InstanTX, a technology that confirms transactions in seconds. Soon to come from an accomplished development team, lead by Evan Duffield (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/01/11/darkcoin-dev-evan-duffield-wins-proof-honor-award/), is scalability that is much improved over Bitcoin.

Yardstick and a number of businesses nearby accept Bitcoins. So we can make the experience more real, diba.
