Bitcoin Forum

Dear members,

I had an similiar topic to this one, but I've changed several questions from the other topic. I'm currently doing a research on Blockchain and platforms running on the Blockchain.

I would like to know your opinion on Dash based on just 5 questions. It would take only 5-10 minutes of your time and it would help my research ALOT!!!

Here's the link to my survey: https://goo. gl/forms/AkIiDxUd9FuRQFaw1  (without the spaces between goo. and gl)

I hope I can post a link here..

If you have any tips or questions just reply here..

Thanks in advance.

The only question that matter....
Is it a premine/instamine well marketed scam by people who's main goal is to sell fairy dust to greater fools?

The answer..... "Yes"

I'm not here to discuss whether it's a scamcoin or not. I'm here to get my research going. I hope people who care about the coin or the community can help me with it.

While I do think that it started out on bad terms with the premine, I don’t think it is overall a bad coin and will have it’s place in the cryptocurrecy market for years to come.

My opinion about Dash :

* I like how decentralized it is, from the miners to the masternodes to the developers
* I like the whole masternode concept where full nodes not only get rewarded for providing services for the network but also get voting rights
* I like how Dash arranged its annual 7% cut on block rewards, making the road toward less block rewards over time more smoothly
* I like how Dash keeps expanding from within its own little eco-system that it created for itself when it introduced its decentralized budget system
* I like how Dash keeps focussing on development & strategic partnerships

* I foresee a future where Dash through its expanding eco-system, its decentralized governance and budget system and its excellent marketing
system will become a much stronger factor of power within the cryptoscene.

It is a survey not a place for you to spam.


I understand you are paid per word you spam, but at least they could hire someone that can read.

i think that dash took the throne of litecoin, mining is more decentralized than bitcoin, because x11 asic are a new thing, and dash coem with betetr efatures like anonymity and masternodes, i see dash as an enhanced ltiecoin, i still don't like they did with the swap from darkcoin, and its instamine

OP (qwizzie?), please revise your poll, you are ocmparing what cannot be compared, Bitcoin is different from Dash, each one have different features from the other.


Again comparing coins who have nothing to do with each other, different Algos, different features, different mining.


The premine isn't an issue at all, as long as they release clean, and well made code it doesn't matters.

Dash's future will be determined by the next update, i think that they have good chances to be considered as one of the majors once and for all.
qwizzie, you should deploy more efforts to explain how to compare a currencie with annother.

Only 7 millions of dash has been mined and I'm sure premined coins already sold out and that was the reason for price to fall from $100 down to $60.
I can't see the scam part here.

Well if "you are sure" that the scammed millions are now sold and not reused to boost the scam again(soo hard to think of that... :)) and if qwizzie, the well known dash-trash PR agent on btctalk, says dash is ok then everything is super-duper right??? lol

Dash and NEM are just 2 best cryptos on the market when it comes to payments. That's it.

another thinly veiled promotional thread by the dash scammers, and qwizzie always among the first to respond with marketing spam

Darkcoin has been around for a very long time. I just don't like the pre mine, other than that it's an okay money maker.

DASH and NEM not the best crypto coin
the best crypto curency still bitcoin, under bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin after is DASH, monero riple and more
NEM i think not TOP 10 is good coin

Litecoin is more better than Dash so you're right. Dash is overpriced and too much hype is floating around it.

The concept of the coin is not bad at all but let’s be honest the issue of the premine is always going to be there and many users are always going to distrust the coin and the developers for it and I cannot blame them at all.

What is the point of a survey if you only want certain people's views?

Dash technology has some good points but well, there is really no good excuse for the premine, and Dash people  continue to fudge when questioned. It's a pity as they have some good ideas.
I prefer PIVX for that reason

My opinion on Dash aka Darkcoin aka Xcoin is that it is a 27% instamined within 48 hours of release scamcoin.

Well, that's not opinion: just fact.

It's my opinion that Evan Duffield should be in prison... Well, again that's more of a fact.

Anyone who is using the term premine with Dash clearly does not know the meaning of the word
premine and therefore should really look up the definition of that word. They make themself look
like a fool using that word.

You can use coinmarketcap to see which cryptocurrencies are premined, you will not find Dash
classified as premined there as it never was premined.

Ok then, instamine is the correct term then I guess...

I deem 27% of total coinsupply in 48 hours totally unacceptable... Dash should've been relaunched... Fact that masternodes reap 45% of total mining rewards makes it so much worse. This coin mimicks a decentralised cryptocurrency, but really is just another centralised PayPal... Then why not just use PayPal/fiat?

You are right qwizzie, but people consider it as a premine because it was instamined. It is logical because you can either send x amount on y height (premine) or set the mining diff very low on x amount of blocks, which is instamine, so in the end the result is totally the same, a huge amount of coins at the disposal of the developer.

But people should know that even bitcoin have a shaddy 1 million address, all the cryptos have this, at least for testing purposes.

You want people's opinion but don't want to discuss if it is a scam coin or not

You appear to already have a bias just by that statement. Kinda pointless if you are only going to listen to people who would rather not discuss if dash is or is not a legitimate coin.

this are the kind of arguments the dashtards like qwizzie-bot are left with.. arguing that their coin was scam instamined instead of premined

by the way, bitcoin never changed its emission. it took over 1 year to mine that much BTC when it had zero value.. meanwhile dash scammer devs instamined 1.5 million coins in 8 hours. so please don't compare dash scam with Bitcoin ::)

I'm just a student who does research on different platforms running the Blockchain. The 3 examples I'm researching are Ethereum, Dash and BitShares. This could be any other crypto actually, it doesn't matter for me. I got the job to research these 3 coins. The questions I ask doesn't have anything to do with the premined or instamined coins or whatever you call it. You can have your opinion in the last question of my survey where you can say your vision about it. I'm sorry if you got me wrong. I'm open for any sort of discussion! :)

Well, however you put it the developers did mine 27% of the coin instantly (basically a partial premine).

That said however, I think that DASH is a legitimate crypto and the developers of a crypto can premine if they choose to do so.

It was instamined / flashmined. 27% within 48 hours of release. Yes, not a premine, but still a scam nonetheless.

Evan Duffield should be in prison.

This seems an issue of semantics more than anything but even if the term is incorrectly used it does not change the reality that a significant amount of coins were mined in a very small amount of time the terminology does not change that.

Wasn't it instamined by the developers before they added Dark Gravity Wave retargeting ?

qwizzie is correct; anyone using the word "premine" to describe this is a fool. It was clearly not a premine. A premine is the act of an honest person. To premine is to say "this is what I have done and if you do not like it then go elsewhere".

The actions of Mr Duffield are obviously contrary to this....

Premined or not premined who cares? What counts at the end of the day is the price and the future of this coin. At the moment its a little overpriced but in the long run it will stay as acurrency. and when bitcoin rises it will take dash up with it like the other old and established alts.

You are right about the primed or not premined, it doesn't matter, especially when it is not a premine.
I just wonder why suddently everyone is interested in dash's instamine, it is like "bitcoin unlimited, what means assert 0" it is a totally irrelevant question. As i aleready said, a premine is used by the developers to check how the coin is working.
The real question is, why haven't they reset the blockchain ? why keeping the instamined coins ? If the coin have been premined to prevent abuses from miners they would have burned the coins. If it was because of the marketing, it is the same, burning the coins would have solved the problem a long time ago. Also is it possible to keep track of them ? have they been mined to the same address ? is there a way to know what they are doing with them ?

These are the most important questions, not premined or instamined because you can't revert this, but at least, you can monitor it !

Exactly, this is the benefit of decentralized currency/software. No matter what the developer’s ethics are it is, in a sense, run by the community itself.
