Same name with a dash on it, but both of these cryptocurrency are different.
DashCoin (DSH) is an anonymous cryptocurrency, which represents an automatically mutating mirror fork of Bytecoin. Dashcoin is based on the technology called CryptoNote. It uses CryptoNight algorithm. Apart from Bytecoin, CryptoNote is also implemented in many other cryptocurrencies which form a whole family. This algorithm uses ring signatures and one-time addresses, thus hiding the sender and the recipient.
DASH (DASH) is a coin based on X11 algorithm. It’s a system which consists of 11 chain hashing algorithms for the-proof-of-work. Another feature of Dash is Darksend, a special scheme which allows you to always stay anonymous. Dash is designed for powerful CPUs.
