DASH aka Darkcoin, with a twisted sense of opensource, tried to "buy", "shutdown" and bully the original Dashcoin (DSH) and its community (https://archive.is/6U9VT#selection-2445.0-2445.21)
The coin runs solely on marketing, propaganda and censorship (https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/4sqhe4/im_banned_at_rdashpay_so_posting_this_here_for/) to make up for its flaws and lure unsuspecting investors (https://archive.is/TUtZo)

tl;dr stay away from DASH/Darkcoin.
