Description
It would be really nice if you could add [Dash](https://www.dash.org/) cryptocoin adresses like you did for Bitcoin and Zcash.
It was (and still to this day) the first alt-coin (early 2014) to focus on sender anonymous ([PrivateSend](https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/PrivateSend)) and also working with merchants and businesses to find the best payment method ([InstantSend](https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/InstantSend)/[Evolution](https://www.dash.org/evolution/)).
The coin is now [third](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/) in market cap behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. But was in the top since the beginning 3 years ago.
Hope it can be added easily, it would be neat alongside Bitcoin and Dash. Wouldn't it be easy to add some sort of global support for cryptocoins ? At least for bitcoin clones using sha256, only the address version is different, unless I am totally wrong I am very bad C++ programmer and Bitcoin code gives me nightmares...

Research direction
Start by finding the existing Bitcoin and Zcash address support in the client and compare how those coins are handled. Add Dash address recognition alongside them and verify that valid Dash addresses are accepted without changing existing behavior.
