Is dash still a thing? Worth investing?

Is dash still a thing? Worth investing? Any new tech to believe? Hype?

Dash is the future Internet Of Money. It features instant transactions, optional privacy, incentivized full nodes, and decentralized governance and funding.

Is dash still a thing? Worth investing? Any new tech to believe? Hype?

While I am unable to comment on the above post as I am new to dash (literately just got into it few hours ago)

I have been over to there community and they seem to have a strong backing and good documentation regarding dash.

I will make my own mind up in time by getting involved and seeing for myself how they operate.

But to be honest there projects look good and the tech aspect also looks to be sound but I suppose only time will tell.

One final note, Things change, go through bad times, I wonder if what you post was at early stages of dash and has since been changed.

Thanks for the additional post though I will have a read at it.

Thank you @qwizzie

From what I see all looks good!

Don't worry I know a troll when i see one :)

Take care! hope to speak to you in the community in the new year!

Anyone here is a troll who presents Facts Uncovering Deception.

If you want to be a troll simply find some facts about the xcoin dashcoin launch. Make sure they are backed by evidence and present them. Then you get to be a troll too.

Here is some objective information about Dash early days and the instamine that took place back then.

Just ignore cryptohunter who is a well known troll, which you can tell by looking at his posting history.

Welcome to Dash

Is dash still a thing? Worth investing? Any new tech to believe? Hype?

If you have been here at bitcointalk long enough you will realize and know that Dash is only a scam. There was a ninja premine in the beginning. That alone should tell you the real motive of the founder of this project.

Is dash still a thing? Worth investing? Any new tech to believe? Hype?

Scam, scam, scam. You remind me of my favorite Allen Iverson video.

"We talkin' about practice. We talkin' about practice, man. Not the game, not the game, we talkin' about practice." (https://youtu.be/eGDBR2L5kzI)

Just because you say something over and over again like a mantra doesn't make it true. Dash is far from a scam, it's a serious project with great technology and the capacity for great things, up to and including usurping Bitcoin's position. Just check out the Dash Nation Progress thread to realize the things Dash is up to.

"That's just like your opinion man"
--The Dude

If you can't trust dash's blockchain to show that indeed 2million coins were mined in the first 24hours, then you can't trust dash's blockchain.
--quoting yourself is redundant

Let me once again correct this as you seem rather fixated on that nice round 2million coins number. Its actually 1.9million that were instamined
in the first 24 hours, which is perfectly viewable in Dash's blockchain and which has never been denied by either Dash Dev Team or the Dash community.
What we are denying is that this instamine was created with malicious intent.

Dash has 1 thing in particular going for it that is more or less unique and which unlocks most of its other unique features - an articulated protocol.

In other words the network can "talk to itself' as well as to client applications.

As far as its current feature set goes, this has led to a very powerful monetary characteristic - greatly enhanced fungibility without ANY loss of blockchain transparency. All users see exactly the same blockchain, regardless of whether they're a keyholder or not, just as with bitcoin, but unlike bitcoin the coin supply is continually kept fungible pro-actively rather than reactively.

This approach will deliver some awsome new network characteristics going into its next release phase (2017/18) by virtue of the fact that it's going to support a decentralised API which will be levered to create a new standard of ease of use and accessibility for crypto hitherto unheard of.

Those are its development objectives currently (and also why it gets so much FUD from competing interests since the articulated protocol is the one thing they can never replicate so they are forced to bang on about "instamines" instead  ;) )

Is it me or is cryptohunter behaving more and more like AdamWhite ?
Adam, is that you ?  :o

Question : how much does Satoshi have with regards to early mining Bticoin, 1 million BTC ? 1.5 million BTC ? Does that Bitcoin instamine history in any way
influenced Bitcoin's adaption ? Looking at Bitcoin's price today and its price history, i would say no.
    

Looking at some of these responses i would say that OP has his answer .. Dash is pretty much still a thing.
Sure some people still get overly emotional on it (they probly dumped their Dash in the early days because
they thought it was finished) and for some trolls Dash is the most important thing of their life to worry about
so they make Dash hate threads in the altcoin discussion section or bump old ones.

Oh well, we will survive people not liking Dash and we will grow in 2017, both in price and marketcap.
  

I think you need to explain that chart away for anyone to even consider investing in DASH. Even if it was the best coded perfect coin then I couldn't get past that and the addition of a ponzie scheme with the masternodes that only the premine could afford is a non starter.

Calling people trolls because they point out the truth is stupid as it just proves you are nothing more than a shill arguing his bag.

3 year long hump

Nope i'm only calling cryptohunter and icey a troll because they do not point out the truth, they just use a bunch of lies and fud.
Also they use trolling techniques, like posting day in day out in our Dash ANN forum. Thats is trolling, so that makes them trolls.  

I'm perfectly fine to agree to disagree with people in this forum but i truly and honestly despise trolls.

There are no lies. The truth we present is there in black and white. I encourage people to do their own research.

Qwizzie and tao are shills they are literally zealots of dash

these threads if you read them all with give you a complete understanding of dash. Everyone outside of the dash scam nation acknowledges it was and is a scam. Only the dashers call it fud and anyone mentioning the factual observable events that have taken place are trolls.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=999084.0


They scream lies, and troll. Fud and haters. However they care not to refute the details of the scam.

They only seek to excuse and justify these events. They say yes it all happened but ...x y z excuses.

Remember 1 dev. Just one of the dev team stated he put 100 amazon instances on mining it at launch (the first seconds it was posted and raped the chain instantly for just a few hours) and got 120 000 dash. That is over $1.2 million dollars at todays value.

That is just 1 dev he says many others were doing the same. How many amazon instances did Evans himself have on it?

I mean he offered a 2 000 000 coin air drop to the board to help "balance things out"

Evans in not actually the worst of dash, he has half a brain and realises his creation will NEVER shake off the scam label until he balances the captive instamine where most of the board were prevented from mining whilst he and other devs pulled in 500 coin blocks ...several a second at some points.

Do believe me then do your own research. Just search out the events that took place. Do not fall for the excuses.

It's that simple, they mined all the coins up they could then slashed the minting by 75% roughly speaking so that nobody else could ever mine up anywhere near the coins they had already mined. They guaranteed they would hold all the coins. Then masternodes are the mega ponzi to guarantee the dash wealthy stay wealthy.

Remember though they can never get away with it because it's all documented here and too many people know about it.

Qwizzie and tao are simply a waste of space and damaging to their own community by trying to deny it and call anyone mentioning it a troll and fud spreader.

FUD to dash is Facts Uncovering Deception.

Let them excuse this scam how they want it will not change the observable events which anyone can research and find out about.

Dash is pure nonsense. Fraudulent coin distribution, bullshit marketed as novel technology, and incompetent leadership to top it off. There are a bunch of Dash shills who are still active here, but the community is in decline. Just look at how their subreddit can't even add 100 new followers a month.

Oh, and that masternode funding system they love to shill? Dysfunctional nonsense dressed up to appear "revolutionary". Just ask them how that vending machine is going. Or any of the other big projects that have been abject failures. Sad.

I agree with cryptohunter. Almost no one outside of Dash takes the project seriously. It's well known to be a scam, and they can't wash off that taint by changing their name to that of a laundry detergent.

Dash's "decentralized governance model" and "decentralized budget model" are proven liabilities, not assets.

The proof of that claim is the negative ROI and reputation damage done by Dash's many failed high-profile/high-budget resource allocations.

Rather than show the world how "distributed governance by blockchain" can work successfully, Dash repeatedly demonstrated the wrong way to do it.

Dash fails at basic tasks over and over again, because they become so convoluted and unaccountable.  It's like you Evan's Gate cargo cultists cannot learn from mistakes, because admitting fault would be "trolling" and "shilling for Monero."




1) Legal work Part I - 1492 Dash - (Masternode rewards etc for IRS) https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-legal-sept.10457/
2) Legal work Part II - 1728 Dash - https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-legal-part-ii-oct.10786/

-So much money spent, and yet we still don't have a legal opinion on how Dash supposedly avoids the registration/regulation appropriate to an investment product like Masternodes (Howey Test) and the requirement to comply with Money Services Business licensing.


3) ATM Master Compliance Program Phase 1 - 748 Dash - https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-dash-atm-master-compliance-program-phase-i.10312/

-You DashHoles got scammed by your own community on this one.  They took the money and ran, and Scamassu says they've never heard of Dash.  Not to mention the very existence of Dash ATMs demonstrates Dash is not actually digital cash.


4) Marketing - Brand & Design - 350 Dash - https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-marketing-brand-design.11279/

-Another fiasco.  You idiots failed to account for changes in the Dash price, then reneged on your contract with the PR firm, thus demonstrating why nobody should ever expect a firm, enforceable arrangement with anything as flaky as "muh blockchain democracy."


5) Lamassu epic failure of a project - 7327 Dash - Multiple threads on forums, slack etc asking for updates and silence for months and months!

-This is my favorite.  Ira Miller scammed the hell out of you gullible cultists and it took you months to figure that out.  See what happens when you allocate resources without skin in the game?  That's right, you get mal-allocation as scammers show up in droves to eat the free lunches provided by Evan's monetary printing press.  I hope Daniel (Minotaur) and Ira are spending their free coins on beaches/booze/babes!


6) Proton Mail Integration - countless developer hours with many meetings and travel and nothing? Saying "we did our part" and its up to them it not good enough in my books. How are we being proactive etc.

-Yet another example of DashHoles prioritizing Hope & Dreams over solid, actually useful development.  If Proton saw an advantage to using Dash (which doesn't exist because BTC's privacy is better) they would add it without artificial incentives.


7) Mycelium Integration - ditto as above?

-LOL, That's Not Going To Happen.  Again DashHoles vainly try to force the invisible hand of the market by distorting the profit motive with out of band side channel bribes.


8. Soda Machine

-So much trouble and expense just for the sake of kissing MacAffee's ass for 5 minutes.  You incompetent buffoons could barely get the thing to work; the whole idea of a full node on every soda machine is beyond ridiculous and well into the real of self-parody.  The cherry on top was the cult losing a key supporter due to the rage quit engendered by working on this over-due, over-budget dumpster fire of a project.


9.  Dash Nation

-We are sick of the Dash Spam.  Enough duplicate posts.  Enough in-post advertising.  Do you guys know what they do to spammers in Russia?




WHO WAS RUNNING THESE PROJECTS, and why was there not even questions asked internally from the Dash core team??
Why did no one ever care to keep these projects on track or accountable?

Core team keeps trying to bite off more than it can chew.

FINISH a few projects to completion with high quality is better than having many sitting there unfinished with wasted money and no momentum.

Of course the DashHoles will ignore all of this and deflect by calling me a "troll."

But they can't do that to Stealth923, a Dash Foundation Member who is now calling BULLSHIT on Dash's scamming (https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-business-development-january.12561/#post-110305) and thus on the brink of liquidating his Masternodes and rage quitting.

As I predicted a year ago, the leaking of Dash's market cap into Monero's has accelerated.

That trend was obvious, since the Dash rebrand alienated loyal Darkcoin supporters like vertoe and all Dash's big projects have turned into dumpster fires.

XPOST:

Sure when I do it, I'm spamming, but when you do it it's called "XPOST"ing. The hypocrisy is strong with this one.  ;)

Scam, scam, scam. You remind me of my favorite Allen Iverson video.

"We talkin' about practice. We talkin' about practice, man. Not the game, not the game, we talkin' about practice." (https://server2.kproxy.com/servlet/redirect.srv/sjh/sccezk/p2/eGDBR2L5kzI)

BS

Everything you just said is what a scammer would say or what a person who believes in the scam would also say. Do you really believe that Dash will become a real currency? Wake up and never forget the ninja premine. There is no excuse for what Evan has done.

I'm so glad that the influence of BCT posters is waning due to the many other venues out there to discuss Dash... the quality of posts here is going downhill fast.

Of course I do! Why wouldn't it? It has all of the properties of money, and all the properties of the internet. Its potential is limitless, and it's just getting started.

I think what Evan did with the ninja premine was scammy and greedy.

LoL !

What a load of faux-ethic sanctimonious bs  :D

We're talking about a crypto - one that was nothing more than a worthless experiment at that time. Whatever the background to its origins it eventually turned into a serious asset. That was thanks to its developer more than anyone, with endorsement from the market.

So please stop with the d.i.y. moralising and get real. It's one of the most valuable and investable projects out there now.

Anyone that claims that Dash had a premine either

A : does not understand the definition of premine
B : use it anyways to spread FUD
C : both

Dash has never been been premined, this can be observed from its blockchain and by looking at coinmarketcap
(premined coins are indicated there also)

Anyways, thank you guys for confirming Dash is still a thing by so heavily commenting in this thread.

Of course I do! Why wouldn't it? It has all of the properties of money, and all the properties of the internet. Its potential is limitless, and it's just getting started.

Get over it

There's no "it" to get over.

My priorities have already been endorsed - over a period of nearly 2 & a half years now. It's your argument that got trashed.

The "demise" you so often spoke of back then never came to pass. Development, community participation, mining participation, marketcap, media interest, you name it all grew and continue to do so. Not to mention the establishment of a 4000 strong, collateralised active node network valued at nearly $12000 a pop which are in ever increasing demand and short supply.

Look yourself in the mirror and that advice might be vaguely relevant  ;)

Before you get too self-congratulatory, there are at least 19 coins that outperformed dash in 2016--most more than doubled dash's performance and moved up the marketcap ratings, not down

Depends how you measure "performance".

I've often made the case that loads of coins surpassed Dash's cap in the past - including the likes of NEM, FCT etc.

The problem is they didn't sustain it because most are subject to speculative pumps. So ending the year on the price it's at is amazing performance for a 3 year old coin. (In fact just still "being around' is good performance).

Another good example is Monero. It got the a*ss pumped out of it recently, not because it was a great long term investment but because some opportunists saw major competition on the horizon and decided to use a couple of "news items" to launch a market feeding frenzy on its only significant exchange. Problem there is that the last of that "news feed" is about to run out in a few days and get sold off. O'm sure it will be milked for all it's worth before then though and as much BTC fleeced from willing noobs as humanly poss ;)

Happy New Year!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a full announcement about the status of development, both of the core project and Evolution. We have had a lot of positive news in recent months that we’ve been working on, and I thought now would be a good time to update everybody on our progress, which has been quite good. In fact, we are progressing on many fronts simultaneously.

VERSION TWELVE POINT ONE / SENTINEL RELEASE

Launching a new software release on the network requires that all budget proposals be re-submitted into the system. Due to the timing of superblocks, we have a short window to launch, near the beginning of the month. In order to ensure we launch the most stable possible version of the software without interfering with the budget system, we would like to hold off until early February to launch 12.1. Launch date: February 5th, 2017.

CORE DEVELOPMENT

The first area of progress is Dash Core. In addition to running the network at present, Dash Core also serves as the backbone of the Evolution engine. We have done a great deal of work on Sentinel, our large-scale decentralized programmable database solution, which is going to allow us to move radically faster than any other organization in cryptocurrency. Among other things, Sentinel will allow us to push updates to Dash Core much more quickly and easily.

Sentinel can also be re-geared and deployed to operate digital companies that have a built-in workforce, infrastructure to deploy again, and as an engine for storage and retrieval of information. This is the concept we’re working on, which will allow companies to run on the Dash Network and compete with centralized companies that refuse to work with Dash. It’s a simple divide and conquest model.

We have recently moved a good deal of our funding into paying some new hires, who have now integrated into our team and have pushed through many new versions of the software. Among other things, they have fixed various issues with the stability of the daemon, the syncing of governance objects, and the workability of the new Sentinel system. Sentinel uses a complex set of rules and conditions for validation of objects and maintaining the consensus of the network.

STRATEGIC EXECUTION

Ryan Taylor, Dash’s CFO, has coordinated a deal with Arizona State University’s SkySong incubator, allowing us access to their top tier facility in Tempe, Arizona. There are 29 fast-growing, innovative startups sharing this location, and we look forward to talking with many of them. We also look forward to hiring exceptional talent from the University.

NETWORK UPGRADE

Feb. 5 is the date of the launch of our new platform. Enforcement will be turned off for this network upgrade, meaning nodes running the old version of the Dash software (12.0) will quickly stop being paid (contingent on miners upgrading). That means masternode rewards will be shared amongst a much smaller pool of upgraded nodes. This should provide a strong incentive to upgrade quickly; it will be very lucrative to upgrade your nodes as quickly as possible.

EVOLUTION UPDATE

Lead evolution developer Andy Freer has been locked away producing huge amounts of documentation for the various concepts of Evolution. This comes after months of conversations between Andy and myself about how each component of Evolution works, then reimagining it and improving the components and designs systematically. Since the original research phase, documentation, specifications, plans and diagrams have been being drafted, growing into a collection of documents that will be put into a wiki with full documentation for Evolution’s end-to-end design and implementation.

EVOLUTION RESEARCH

In January 2016 we released an early Evolution prototype based on Electrum which enabled basic functions such as registering a username and paying friends by name.

The prototype was pretty basic, with user interaction limited to just paying a few friends and user data stored on a dev server, but at least it proved the concept.

What we set out to do then was to design and prototype all the key technologies that would make these functions work in a purely P2P way, with data secured on the Dash blockchain and accessible from anywhere on any device, with integrated SPV based security and no centralized intermediary services required, and using the most common and censorship resistant protocol available - HTTP(S)

What we have designed and prototyped in various parts is a system that will let people signup to Dash, connect with friends, connect with merchants and buy products and services online with options to refund or pay recurring subscriptions, using just a web browser, without going through any intermediary service or having to integrate their own full node. It’s also a system that lets websites and apps become Dash enabled as easily as signing up for an API key and then cut and pasting a few lines of code into their business application that pops up a payment form and bills the user automatically, with all customers and payments visible to the merchant in DashDrive.

What this enables is the first usable digital cash built for the digital economy, because rather than having to integrate an esoteric P2P system into existing digital applications and services using complex infrastructure and interoperation or a centralized intermediary, Dash Evolution can be accessed by an HTTPS API that works more like a decentralized cloud, using familiar data structures such as Users, Accounts and Orders instead of transactions, blocks and crypto addresses, secures user information like a cloud service, but behind the API functions as a purely P2p, decentralized service. We believe this will be the key to gaining mainstream traction for users and businesses on P2P cryptocurrencies, i.e. they won’t even know it’s a P2P cryptocurrency they are using, because it’s as quick, familiar and easy to use / integrate as any existing payment systems used in the mainstream digital economy, all of which are API service based.

EVOLUTION FRONTEND

The 3 main areas of frontend design and development have been to design a secure, SPV based Web Wallet, merchant tools to enable drag-and-drop checkout on a website, and an SDK that connects web clients to DAPI.

The Web Wallet has taken the form of an SPA (single page application) that web users can download as a single HTML page and hashcheck to use securely from their desktop, that enables users to login and manage their accounts, contacts and merchant relationships, including an integrated marketplace for products and services. Users hold their account password and account HD seed on the client side, and on the network side, all of their account meta data is encrypted and stored on the network. After designing the UI / UX in July, ongoing work has been to develop the web wallet platform and soon work is starting to port the work to Android and iOS Evolution wallets. A revamped Dash.org is also being designed (following from the upcoming launch of dash.org v2) to provide a signup to Evolution call-to-action on the homepage and a download or hosted link to the Web Wallet code (and mobile versions).

The merchant tools have taken the form of code that can be cut and pasted into their web page and server to instantly enable Dash payments by user’s name against products the merchant is listing, including a Dash Checkout modal that can handle the payment automatically on the client side. The merchant can also list the products directly in DashDrive to enable Users to make one-time payments, moderated refunds or recurring auto-payments within any DAPI enabled client (such as the Web Wallet) and access full CRM information for their sales / product listings in DashDrive via DAPI.

The SDK (Dash.js) is a single library that web clients and servers include to easily access all wallet and merchant functions using their user accounts or API keys for merchants. This has been based initially on BitPay’s BitCore API and ongoing work has included a variable SPV implementation for the library which enables clients to specify the level of security they wish to balance this between performance and amount of data that needs to be downloaded.

EVOLUTION BACKEND

Evolution Backend Development has leveraged two strategies this year. The first has been to port BitPay’s Bitcore Platform to Dash including merging Bitcore Node to DashCore 12.1 for native API support.

The second ongoing strategy is to leverage this platform to fulfill long-term Evolution requirements while filling more immediate needs. Through this approach we’re now positioned to leverage the entire BitPay ecosystem, most notably Copay (https://copay.io) and the new Insight API. We anticipate having a Dash variant of the Copay wallet available on testnet by the end of January 2017.

In support of the v0.12.1.x Dash Core release, we’ve integrated the Governance Object model into the Bitcore platform (e.g. Budget Proposals). This integration has led to the development of a client-side budget generator as well as an extension of Insight API which returns active budget proposal objects. Moving forward this type of close integration between Bitcore and the Governance Object system will be a huge asset and a foundational piece for continued innovation in v0.12.2.x and beyond.

Work has also included with ProtonMail and Sean Ryan (Node40.com) has also delivered a Payment Processing API which is capable of connecting directly to the Bitcore Wallet Service. A compatible WooCommerce plugin has been developed and is intended to act as both a Proof of Concept for this API as well as a Prototype for future eCommerce integrations. More information on this plugin and related API will be released in early January 2017.

EVOLUTION CORE

Evolution Core work has been focused on first providing a basis to the new system in the form of Sentinel and improving DashCore to be implementation-agnostic to governance functions and objects.

Additional work has been the design / prototype of several key technologies needed at the core level, ranging from the RPC/ZMQ interface to DAPI, a generic Object system governed by a shared Schema protocol that enables Users to secure Object state transitions on the Dash Blockchain and store Object Data sharded across Masternodes (DashDrive). This work has also included upgrading the existing Masternode design to retain proposals, votes, and rewards in DashDrive to provide blockchain consensus. After 12.1 release, work will focus on implementing these designs in conjunction with the frontend and backend work.

Thanks to everyone involved!

Evan Eduffield

Dashers are just miffed that XMR has left their scamcoin in the dust. You dimwits! A year ago you could have exchanged your Dash into XMR at 10 to 1! That means a masternode back then would be worth about $160,000 now, had you exchanged it into XMR. So you chased 9% gains, and missed the 1000%+ gains that were right under your noses.

A tripple Dash price increase and a quadruple Dash marketcap increase in one year alone (2016) is good enough for me.
I kinda dislike these major pump and dump schemes.

I kind of dislike instamine and cut emission schemes myself, but I'd love to hear your rational for Monero being a pump and dump--

I kind of dislike instamine and cut emission schemes myself, but I'd love to hear your rational for Monero being a pump and dump--please consider carefully the dash cry of "two years and no gui and opensource can't fund marketing;" either that's some crazy patient and haphazardly designed pumping and dumping or you are grabbing for any string you can and don't care how baseless or ridiculous you look like in the process.

Tell aeon I said hi when it passes you on the way up.

Just put the charts on longterm and you see what i mean. Oh wait, i forgot .. you do not watch charts that often.

LoL !

Take anything that Toknormal says with a grain of salt. He once said that cryptography is not an important component of cryptocurrencies. In other words, he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. In that context, his love of Dash makes perfect sense. He simply doesn't have the technical understanding to see that Dash is pure garbage.

Dash is a shitty instamined scam coin.  That's why it was banned from Apple (https://cointelegraph.com/news/apple-sets-a-deadline-for-removing-dash-from-jaxx-wallet) and will never be on Kraken, much less Coinbase.

Option B it is...

Because he explicitly told people to stop trying to get miner to work and he would relaunch the next day and then he continued to mine with his little cadre, That makes it a pre-mine as well as an instamine when he changed the block reward to remove most other coins from ever appearing. ITS A SCAMCOIN whater you want to label it. DEAL with it.

You can shout scam (with proof of scam for everyone to see and witness for themselves) as much as you want and you can use ancient fud (facts uncovering deception) claims (proof)  as much as you feel pressured to do ( as every person on this forum who is against scams should do, but that still does not make this coin a scam ( because I'm a dark coin zealot and hold huge bags of dash therefore benefitting from the scame ) and it still does not define this coin as premined.( beacause it was a deceptive captive instamine which then got magnified even more by slashing the minting but i will continue to scream no premine because I think it makes dash scam sound better)
This coin has been sold off in several waves already in the time of its existence (like that makes it okay for it to be a scam in the first place), has also reached and passed ATH several times and still to this very day its lead developer is heavily involved with the Dash Project. (of course he will be heavily involved because it makes the value of all his scam coins he grabbed up in the captive instamine way more valuable)
That makes you arguments not only outdated but also irrelevant.(i'm trying not to laugh as I post this zero logic statement)

The simple fact remains that this coin (is a scam and was captive instamined, then minting reduced by 75 % to magnify the value of the scammed instamined coins and then had masternode ponzi scheme added to forever benefit from taking all the coins at the start) has never been premined and anyone using that term (see how i like to twist things by harping on about no premine when what happened was just as bad or worse)

A : does not understand the definition of premine (even though it is basically the same thing as a captive instamine which is why dash is a scam)
B : use it anyways to spread FUD (facts uncovering deception ...please don't present these facts on my dash scam pump threads)
C : both (i will try first to twist the truth by saying no premine when there was a captive instamine, then call the facts uncovering deception of my and the rest of the dash scam tribe fud.


You seem to fall under category C (which is the worst for dash so please be quiet and let us pump our scam ponzi)
Congratz

Edit : oh, and thank you by the way for bumping this thread in this altcoin discussion section ... we can always use the extra publicity to Dash.
Here is hoping to many more bumps. (I'm a huge spammer of the dash scam )

After repeatedly trying to explain why an instamine is bad to people in the Trollbox, I have come to realize this is fundamentally an intelligence issue.

DASH is a better currency.

The best invest.
