On the 2nd birthday of Dash , CoinTelegraph spoke to Evan Duffield , the founder and lead developer of the DashCT r: 94 Project ( formerly Darkcoin ), to talk about the 2 years of this dashing journey.
CoinTelegraph: Evan, congratulations on Dash completing two years.
Evan Duffield: Thank you, it’s been a very exciting two years. So much has happened during the two years, it seems pretty amazing. We managed to develop the masternode concept, along with instant transactions , privacy , funding and governance. I’m pretty happy with the progress that we’ve made.
CT: What was your vision for Dash when you founded it? Now two years later, do you think you have achieved what you set out to do with Dash?

My first thought was to add some core-features to the Dash client, such as anonymity , then to explore the potential of the cryptographic currency platform and see what other kinds of features could be created.
Since then, we’ve managed to implement a new kind of peer-to-peer network known as a two-tier network, which fully incentivizes full-node operators. Using the masternode network concept (also known as a two-tier network), we’ve been able to implement a great feature set for our users such as instant double-spend proof transactions, transactional privacy, decentralized funding and decentralized governance. The project has been a great success over the past couple of years and I’m quite happy with the progress we’ve made.
