You pretty much summed up my opinions as well. I view DASH like I view linux containers. They are taking something NOT designed to be secure and private/anonymous and trying to retroactively bolt on anonymity and security to the existing bitcoin tech. Which is NOT now you secure something. It has to be designed in from the get go not baked in after the fact.
This is the problem with all the so called "secure anonymous" coins I looked at until I read up on Monero and how it works. Security and anonymity is baked in by design, not retrofitted after the fact which never works.
So as far as I can tell Monero is the only one that has this right. Now, again, time will tell if their technology choices actually deliver what they say it will deliver regarding anonymity and security.
But for now it's the only game in town as far as I am concerned.
