Title: Darkcoin aka DASH - The biggest ongoing SCAM in crypto
Post by: AdamWhite on March 18, 2015, 07:42:31 PM
This thread is to spread the word.

2+ million Darkcoin/DASH were instamined in the first 48 hours30 hours of launch. (1.5 million in the first 8 hours) Dev tries to make everyone believe it was an accident.

After the initial 2+ million coin instamine, they start using private GPU miners while convincing everyone else it's still a CPU only coin.

In addition, they:

- Lower the block emission 100x (500 coins per block to 5 coins per block)
- Lower the total coin supply that can ever exist from 80 million to 20 million
- Try and fail to bury the instamine by not mentioning it on the OP or the website
- Try to distance themselves from these facts by going through two rebrandings

They instamined at 100x emission and then drastically reduced the supply and emission rate once they had their fill. What a scam!  ::)

Spread the word, research.

That is what I mean. Dashcoin is CN, but Dash (Darkcoin) was bitcoin based, not CN.

or, they simply killed dashcoin to wear its guts around their instamined neck aka steal its name:

This whole affair is simply disgusting. It appears that the Darkcoin developers are trying to kill this coin for its name. The reality is that the Dashcoin name belongs to the Dashcoin community and not to whomever made this deal with the Darkcoin developers. My take is that the Dashcoin community should simply fork the coin and keep calling it Dashcoin.

now theres some FACT.

it's that disgusting imo.

Don't worry, the DASH rebranding fiasco is shaping up to be the catalyst for the exposure of their HYIP scam.

They'll never get the rights to the trademark, and the AZ Atty General will be making inquiries regarding their purported Masternode ROI:

So, the cryptocurrency is a leader in Market Cap.
Seems to have some interresting fascets to it's algorithm such as X11.

I'm assessing the currency to see if it's a good investment. I hear the instamine cries, but I don't think that destroys the validity of the currency.....

Idk, maybe it does...

Even though I no longer own any Dash and don't have any links to the Dash team any more I thought I'd highlight how moronic this post is.

Illodin was asking a valid question but given that at that moment the difficulty was 0.06250000 and the block reward was 500 and that there were already miners selling coins in bundles of 100s and low 1000s by that point, this is simply no evidence of anything other than Evan had a CPU miner running from launch.

I think it is healthy to question the origins of a coin if there are serious concerns but why spend your life taking out of context quotes and starting threads repeating the same old shit over and over again?

For weeks back in 2014 Dark/Dash was at sale for peanuts. I didnt mine, just bought some:

We made our distribution long ago. Stop with this "instamine" crap. The actual value of the coin is because the dedicated effort of Evan & team. This is no hard to understand.

Again, not the point... look at this chart:
https://i.imgur.com/dSe9cRz.jpg

So this doesn't look like an 'instamine' to you? Seriously? I understand you maybe have some vested interests in this coin, but why deny something that obvious? There was a pre-/instamine. I don't care about the distribution afterwards, it was a scammy launch, especially because Evan lied about when he would start mining...
If this was not an instamine, how would you define it then?

Noone is denying the bugs at the launch:

https://dashtalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162



Launch

It was January 18, 2014 and I had everything ready or so I thought. I announced the launch of Darkcoin (XCoin at the time) on BitcoinTalk. We launched later and immediately got stuck on block 42, I was new to the Bitcoin codebase and wasn’t sure what I missed so I announced we’d relaunch later.

When we relaunched we had a rush of miners join causing a huge spike of coin production without it being able to adjust the difficulty quick enough, we just ended up spilling out coins. Retargeting happened every 576 blocks and could only increase the difficulty by four times, so it took about six retargets to get to a difficulty that was near 2.5 minutes per block.

Later on, after the difficulty evened out we realized that there was a serious problem with the block reward calculation. You can see people discussing the problems here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.120

I soon fixed this issue at block 4500, but none of us realized the amount of coins that had been issued at the time. At that point we didn’t even have a block explorer yet.




At the beginning, Xcoin was nothing than other shitcoin. And for several weeks was distributed because price was really low, as u can see here:

https://i.imgur.com/76djcwb.jpg

After that, the developer began to work seriously on it, then Dash become what is now.  

Noone is hiding the truth. I know the truth because I was there. Wanna cry all Bitcointalk about it? Be my guest.

Meanwhile, we are working:

https://dashtalk.org/forums/official-announcements.54

You don't like it? Is fine, I don't like most of the alts out there.

Then if you're sincere you should launch again... If the coin is really that good, I'm sure a fair launch will only add up to its value... Then you won't have to deal with shills like me anymore.

And again, Evan lied:
Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".

Time to go to bed and try again next week?


Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone!

Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks.

Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.

Definitely not...

You don't get it, do you?   :-[

The coin was a crap, buggy one at launch. Now, after more than a year of hard work is valuable.

Wanna do a relauch? Do it, is open source!! Just clone it, call it "obitcoin" and that's it! You have your own coin. With Masternodes, InstantX and all the stuff.

What I see every day is greed and desperate people from other coins, trying to destroy what they think is better.

Just a little advice from an old man:

Just live and let live others. And do something positive with your time.  ;)

meh, I don't like the centralising Masternodes either ;-)

But hey, nice of you to admit the launch was buggy and thus lead to a de facto instamine... I don't care what the intention was (bad or good), the result was an instamine, nice of you to admit that.

Yes, the incomplete, watered down versions are mentioned on dashtalk and on a shitty looking wiki barely anyone visits.

If Evan is so open about it, i wonder why he doesn't mention it in the DASH thread on Bitcointalk, or any thread whatsoever on Bitcointalk  ::) He knows how bad it looks, and no one is believing that it was a "bug" either.

It was a deliberate instamine which he later blamed on a bug because he couldn't hide it. Despicable.

Can't speak to whether or not this is a scam, but the master nodes idea seem interesting.  Though it doesbenefit early adopters more since they likely had the 1000 or so Dash needed to set one (or a few up).

Anyway, I hold a tiny little bit of Dash that I bought into at the recent low a few months ago.  Will sell it as soon as it reaches my target price to buy something else  ;D (I'm sure you know what that will be).  Maybe I'll even buy back some Dash if it goes low again.

Scam or not, it's always best to diversify your investments.  Years from now, many of the 'better' altcoins will be very valuable.

A half million coins were mined within one hour. That's more than "a few" masternodes.

And none of those were sold, ever.

You guys .....
the issues posted above were acknowledge by evan and the Dash Community many times over,
sure you keep screaming SCAM , just to get Monroe into the News.

The crypto eco system has enough problems for adoption as is.
You guys as the kings of  FUD and TROLLing in this eco system should really reconsider
you 'attempts' here, as you are not only giving yourself a bad name, but everybody (incl BTC,...) else !

Aren't we all in the early stages on the Crypto Scene ?
Shouldn't we support the general crypto approach to help get more adoption accross the board ?
(think about it)

you are still stuck in some Anon Race from 1.5 years ago
grow up, and start looking at the bigger picture !

You're comparing apples and 747 jet liners. Monero didn't emit half of all coins in existence until months after there were nvidia and amd gpu miners available for windows and linux, not too mention optimized cpu miners. Dash/Darkcoin/Xcoin emitted about half of all coins in existence in the first 24 hours of its existence, before there was even a windows client, then promised a relaunch, then just changed its name instead.

Also, how the motherfuck do you get such an awesomely negative trust rating:

Monero thinks DASH/Whitecoin/Shadowcash/Litecoin...you get it basically anything that is not Monero or Boolberry is the reason why they are down on the marketcap, and not because of their trolling + copy cat low grade developers.

Create as many polls against Evan or Dash while you play ur silly childish BTCTALK games, we are having votes on things that actually matter.

Legal Removals

We remove content from our search results if it includes:

We also remove content in response to valid legal requests, such as copyright notifications that meet the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Maybe we can ask the Dash foundation (who is helping Dash on legal areas) for legal advice on how to take appropriate action ?
What should be removed when using google search with these two reference words "dash crypto" is :

anything with SCAM in it --> directly attacks the reputation of Dash
anything that links it to Dashcoin --> causes confusion for those people explicitly searching for Dash and not Dashcoin

this deserves to be reposted here:

Regarding XCoin/DarkCoin/Dash's "instamine":

The plain and simple fact is that big hash on a new coin always causes trouble when the difficulty adjustment only occurs over very large block intervals and when that difficulty adjustment has a limited maximum multiplier per interval.

Litecoins launch had similar difficulty readjustment issues with similar minting results.

https://i.imgur.com/tEYh8Dl.png

There is no scam here, only inherited bad models.

Wrong. Here is the math below for a apples to apples comparison of mintage vs time:

Litecoin current supply - 42,681,260 LTC

In the first 24 hours   504,650 LTC were mined
Block #10092          2011-10-14 03:08:59
LINK: http://explorer.litecoin.net/chain/Litecoin?hi=12095&count=2016
block link: http://explorer.litecoin.net/block/fca5b3100fe457c1642c914c45214b4860aacd265d8bfd1e4af0004fd89a9032


After 1 year 9 months later -  19,398,754  LTC were mined  
block #387,985
DATE & TIME - 2013-07-13 12:53:54
link: http://explorer.litecoin.net/chain/Litecoin?hi=390000&count=2016

504,650 / 19,398,754 = 0.02601455742982 OR 2.6% of supply


block link: http://explorer.litecoin.net/block/37c6b847bd3d433247cff941ed874786487715ff4fff9c2977bf273d1c967965


Dash current supply - 5,882,880 (~1 year 9 months)

1,625,000 DASH was mined in first 8 hours

1,625,000 DASH / 5,822,880 = 0.27622525021758 OR 27.62% of supply

Darkcoin
   ▪   derived from Quark
   ▪   type of algorithm: blake, bmw, groestl, keccak, jh, stein
   ▪   PoW and PoS
The following data and time stamps were collected from the Darkcoin blockchain 37).
   ▪   Block 1: 2014-01-19 Time: 3:54:41
   ▪   Block 1000 : 2014-01-19 Time: 4:33:39

   ▪   Block 3250: 2014-01-19 Time: 11:22:11
Looking at this data, we see that Darkcoin was mined with 500 DRK generated per block from the get go. From block 1 to at least block 3250, according to their blockchain, they were still producing 500 coins each block. The transition from 500 to 277 coins per block occurs between 3250 and 3500 but this author did not see the necessity of getting the exact moment of halving. Simple math shows that 3250 blocks multiplied by 500 coins a block is 1,625,000 Darkcoins created between the times of 3:54 and 11:22 on January 19th, 2014. As of today there are around 4,300,000 DRK in existence, making this a pretty hefty instamine. The Darkcoin website expects around 22,000,000 DRK to be created. That means in less than 8 hours, almost 5% of the Darkcoins that ever will be created spawned in that 1/3 of a day. It's safe to say Darkcoin has left it's investors in the dark on this one.


More than 10 TIMES the amount of current supply (as a % comparison) was put into circulation in the first 8 hours than what was mined in the first 24 hours of litecoin's launch.

Hardly a comparable equivalent to use as an analogy. Laughable at best.

I find it funny that if it is a "feature" as Evan likes to sell/spin it as, why not plaster "DASH is INSTAMINED" all over their thread and website/forum?

Them deleting that just says that some of them realize they dont want people to know about the instamine.

Evan should be wearing a shirt that says "Yes bitch, I instamined dash like a mofo and I am proud of it"

I have no opinions on DASH or their faults/mistakes and no opinions on XMR's potential faults or mistakes, but it is kind of sad to see another XMR supporter open the 22nd DASH hate thread while they also post frequently in DASH's own thread and being followed up by the well-known part of the XMR's community. DASH seems to be releasing features and being developed constantly, doesn't matter what your opinion is on their features or if they seem useful for you as an individual. I doubt that the aim of this is to dump on new investors, thus the hating has no efficiency other than to make your community and the whole forum/scene less appealing as an investment.

Everyone knows about the instamine already, eduff admitted to it in one of the threads not long ago if I recall correctly and there is rarely new money/inflow on this forum and scene (no new coins released, low volumes etc.) so there is literally no point in another new thread.

So exposing possible fraud is hate and inefficient and less appealing?

Sorry but if I used your thinking back when solidcoin was doing its "thing" of "developing" and "innovating" many people would have lost a lot of money.

Sorry, but I disagree with you.

Let's leave the absolute statements at the door that "everyone" knows about the instamine.

New users come to this forum everyday and thus your preposition is flawed as everyone will not know unless the entire planet knows.

Evan admitted the instamine was a "feature" and that he takes full responsibility but when I called him out on holding himself responsible he ignored it. Nowhere does dash have "instamine" advertised on their thread, forum, website.

It is swept under the rug and is a topic that is avoided daily as much as possible to make Dash appear to be legit.



Title: Re: Darkcoin aka DASH - The biggest ongoing SCAM in crypto
Post by: smooth on October 12, 2015, 08:22:02 AM
this deserves to be reposted here:

As does this follow up:

Considering xcoins max block subsidy was 500 and litecoins was 50 that makes sense.

The difficulty algorithm "int64 nSubsidy = (1111 / (pow((dDiff+1),2)))" would have clamped that down but the difficulty didn't raise fast enough (see point #1) to restrict total minting to more reasonable levels.

These are the facts. Code doesn't lie.

What you are missing is that:

1. Xcoin was specified to adjust difficulty every 60 minutes (12 5-minute blocks), and barring any other issue this would have slowed down mining reasonably quickly, as you said.

2. However, without explanation, the code that was actually released adjusted difficulty only once every 576 blocks, 48 times more slowly.

3. Xcoin also had a "bug" that greatly increased the amount of coins per block. It should have started at 100, not 500, and once the difficulty started to increase, it should have dropped lower still, not stayed at 500. This was not fixed until block 4500.

4. Subsequent supply cuts reduced the per-block reward to the current 3, which is <1/166 of the reward in most of the first 4500 blocks. By contrast LTC only recently reduced its per-block reward to 1/2 of the reward in the initial blocks.

These are the main reasons that the instamine ended up being so enormous, especially relative to the current supply, not the normal ramp up of difficulty that causes a very small instamine in most normal cases.

Quote
It's not an analogy. It's a flaw that many, many coins share. Xcoin was not unique in this regard.

Okay maybe not unique, but the scale of it is vastly larger in the case of Dash, and Dash had additional factors contributing to its instamine in addition to normal difficulty adjustment lag, wouldn't you agree?


References:

Is it me or difficulty is stuck at 1.00 for the last 2 hours? The network is around 100Mh/s, and we are solving blocks faster than every 5 minutes, shouldn't diff be higher?

I notice this too.  Why isn't diff increasing?


- 5 minute block target
- 6 Confirms per transaction
- Difficulty re-targets every 60 minutes
- Block reward controlled by moores law ( 1111 / (diff+1 ^ 2))


Block reward controlled by moores law ( 1111 / (diff+1 ^ 2))


( 1111 / (0.005+1 ^ 2)) = 92.54477301

( 1111 / (1.00001+1 ^ 2)) = 85.46147272

( 1111 / (3.44635085+1 ^ 2)) = 71.92637347

( 1111 / (5.44+1 ^ 2)) = 63.70412844

The block rewards should have start close to 100 coins per block and should have gotten smaller each time the difficulty goes up and the reward should increase as the difficulty goes down.

Difficulty just changed to 3.44635085, block reward is now: 1111 / (1 + 3.44635085)^2 = 56.1961549627. I guess there is little point in solo mining now.
If the block reward was supposed to be 56.1961549627, why is it showing 500 in both mining pools.....


I confirm that block reward with current difficulty is again 500, this is weird.

Everyone using the linux based version please update your source from GitHub! I fixed the code that is causing the strange block rewards and it goes active at block 4500! If you do not upgrade you'll be left behind!

Just update from GitHub here: https://github.com/evan82/xcoin

This is largely the problem right here. You say you don't have an opinion on Dash's strengths/weaknesses. You say you don't have an opinion on XMR's strengths/weaknesses. You say that Dash seems to make progress.

Kind of a mixed bag of contradictory perspectives and uncertainties there.

This is the reason why people get annoyed with Dash. You can't wave the flag of ignorance and then exclaim that the world is conspiring against you hatefully.

True, the stigma of the Dash community being intellectually challenged is somewhat unfair, and I can sympathise that a lot of Dash holders are simply below their break-even point and thus have no choice but to try to defend their actions and that of the coin's technology. I get that.

I've also heard it said that Dash is kind of like North Korea in the sense that the technology is crap, the concept is deeply flawed, is socially something of a ghost town, waves a disingenuous flag in the name of revolution and progress, while the ignorant skeleton community panders to the self-serving egoistic appetite of thy great leader. Again while that may all be 100% true, it is obviously unfair to those who have demonstrably reached a point of stupidity that far extends beyond any acceptable point of justifiable humiliation.

In truth, and as has been stated many times before, it is always, always, always, the right thing to do to point out when something is very shit. And indeed, Dash is very very very shit.

If it wasn't shit, we'd all be waving the Dash flag together. Simple as that.

so there is literally no point in another new thread.

Actually this is not another new thread, it is an old one. Looks like a Dash supporter bumped it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=995710.msg12655784#msg12655784).

I have no idea why a Dash supporter though that was a good idea.

My bad, only seen it appear now for the first time and saw a low number of pages thus I thought it's new.

Point still stands though, you always see the same well-known XMR community members in these threads, same goes for spamming the DASH thread (I used to read it because I'm interested in the developments). No one else seems to care and that's probably not because they are stupid/dumb/didn't know, but because DASH seems to make progress. After a time it just gets sad to watch.

Then why is someone deleting the numbers from the instamine from the dash wiki everyday--pretty certain that it isn't a Monero supporter deleting it. And why hasn't anyone put the instaminetm logo next to the no preminetm logo if Evan is so proud of his happy accident?

I'll give you a hint: no premine is to lure people who don't want to be scammed, or take part in a disingenuous launch, into a false sense of security. "No premine. That must mean it was fairly launched and doesn't suffer from the usual shenanigans of con artists posing as the next Steve Jobs. Right?" Think again, investor. And by the time you figure it out, you'll be neck deep in Evan's instamined coins.

Wow. And they say the Dash thread is a circle jerk ? When your own coin's going down the toilet it sure does wonders for camaraderie.

Don't stop chewing on that "instamine" bone. Need to keep those teeth sharp for when the meat course (https://dashtalk.org/threads/dash-team-at-bitcoin-wednesday-amsterdam-presentation.6287/page-3#post-69787) arrives  ;)

Exactly my idea, selling point is "No Premine" yet won't put the instamine comment or tag anywhere visible.

But evan says "I take full responsibility for the instamine"....yet does nothing to back up his statement.

Empty words from a snake oil salesman. Not surprising.

I fully agree that something along the lines of "there was an accidental instamine in the first X hours with X coins because of an error in the code", but my point still stands, it's generally the XMR community bashing DASH in several (tons) of threads including DASH's own and some of the comments can be easily categorized as spam or insulting. Some of their ideas may be flawed and the codebase of Bitcoin imho isn't modern anymore after several years, but I doubt they do it to dump on newcomers, atleast it doesn't seem like it (for me).

Also as it seems one of the most frequent visitor of the DASH thread iCEBREAKER was involved heavily in the HashFast scam. I don't remember him being so open minded vs scams while he was working there.

PS. I don't own a single DASH and probably won't in the future.

That's fair. My main problem with dash is the false advertising. Masternodes are terrible for privacy and no one should be advertising a coin that uses them as anonymous or private. And the no premine when their is an undisputed instamine is misleading and playing fast and loose with semantics.

If those two points were that point was removed from the dash media, I wouldn't bother pissing on their parade of false information. I'm guessing I'm not alone in this mindset.

*Thanks to Smooth pointing out that dash media finally has removed "no premine" from its media.

Post by: toknormal on October 12, 2015, 01:17:58 PM

The problem you folks have isn’t Dash’s “instamine”. It’s this:

Back in the spring of last year, Dash (then Darkcoin) demonstrated that there was some mileage in improving on bitcoin’s anonymity support by doing something about fungibility.

That created a bit of a bandwagon and Cryptonote appeared. Only Cryptonote kind of threw the baby out with the bathwater by adopting the credit model of money (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12638377#msg12638377) (which emobodys a private record keeping paradigm as opposed to an open, anonymous cash paradigm). Not only that, it paid a heavy price for adopting the “wrong” paradigm by completely ditching the bitcoin commercial interface and attempting to re-invent the cryptocurrency wheel from the ground up.

There might have been a case for doing that a couple of years ago when the “battle of the alts” commenced and there was some doubt as to whether bitcoin’s supremacy would be challenged. That case is now well and truly buried and with it the fortunes of ‘credit-money based privacy coins’ such as cryptonote.

Despite a year long campaign of plastering all known avenues on BCT with Monero propaganda, all it has done is loose value apart from the odd margin traded pump. Dash has also lost value but the difference is that it has a future because it did not make the fundamental mistakes in strategic monetary priorities that Monero did.

Dash DID adopt the anonymous cash model instead of the ‘private’ credit model. It DID keep itself compatible and compliant with the Bitcoin eco-system. And it DID establish a mechanism for sustaining the growth in payment processors (https://www.dashpay.io/payment-processors/), mobile solutions (https://i.imgur.com/776Cx82.jpg) and quality independent blockchain services (https://www.dashwhale.org). Because of that it's now in a healthy position to deploy one of the most ambitious roadmaps in the whole crypto sector.

So all that’s left for the types who start threads like this is to chew away at Dash’s launch issues in the hope that it might clear some space for coin who’s monetary shortfalls would hamper its adoption even if it was the only crypto left on the planet.

It’s an embarrassing sight.

Not least because of the damage you do to your own fellow holder’s prospects, most of whom probably represent a silent majority that would rather see something more than a year-late useable wallet, a bloat database and a hate campaign as the reward for their patience.

Dash’s “instamine”.


Dash's instamine is hella shady.

Why wasn't the "bug" that supposedly caused Dash's instamine caught on testnet?  Dash does have a testnet and is open source, right?

Why wasn't the coin relaunched after such a failed fiasco of a first 48 hours?

"Accidently" suddenly mining 10% of the total coins after telling everyone it's OK to go to sleep is too suspicious.

Advertising "No Premine" is a distinction without a difference and misleading snake oil salesmanship.

Technicalities aside, Dash's instamine was, for everyone not named Evan Scamfield, a premine.  We don't need him to come and 'Duff-splain' all about how Dash's instamine is actually a good thing.

Really now Monero, get real 1.5 years with nothing new. After you copied Bytecoin "which is still above you on marketcap" all you did was changing lines on ur code.

Jealous much of Evan? he invented X11 and now many other coins have X11....he created Masternodes ohh look many others have Masternodes in their coins, I am not surprised the guy when he talks he delivers. AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE DASH

Now what makes you think I should leave all this and come to Monero? did Fluffy do something besides copying others? I don't follow sheep followers like him or Smooth.

We have a saying if ur house is made of glass don't throw ur neighbors with bricks YOU also had a problem at ur launch but guess what haters gonna hate!

You try so hard to trash Dash but again don't look up its waaaay above you, look down Rubycoin is alrdy catching up to you!

You're Cry"p"to about it here in forums type of developers are a joke and you're toxic community is worse, if you just kept ur self upgraded with new things into you're OWN coin and actually developed it instead of whining to Whitecoin/DASH/Shadowcash/Litecoin....Many more guess what ppl will come! I know I know it's not ur way.

Now tell me more about ur coin and how a gambling site "MoneroDice" is doing Fluffy takes 10% of all coins there awesome! hmm what else you have a GAME! wow my WHOLE family will be crazy about you now. This alone should take over like the entire HALF OF EARTH.

We have an instamine, a clumsy method of privacy, a mash-up of algos that fails to recognize that the whole is only is only as strong as the weakest link, and a governance system that is centralized around the instaminers.

Check facts at least, scumbags  ;)

If you want to deal in facts I have presented facts backed up with links.

Care you refute anything I posted in my post above instead of playing on the tune of ethics theatre?


Your claimed facts are wrong

[...]

Interesting when chain coin appears to be using the same 11 algorithms (just in a different order). Note date of launch. About 2 months prior:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422149.msg4592564#msg4592564

[...]

Both coins were launched on 2014-01-19 - additionally the ChainCoin dev states that the similarity is "purely coincidence".

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422149.msg4602074#msg4602074

It uses an algorithm similar to XCoin (11 hashes, but in a different order). This is purely coincidence, I already had the client developed a couple of days ago. XCoin uses the Litecoin base afaik and ChainCoin uses a Bitcoin base and includes transaction messages.

Your thoughts on what makes good money are the start of your delusions, but lets add not having something being proof that what you have is quality or somehow my criticism is invalidated.

Example:

"Your rocket won't make it into space because the boosters weight too much, the nav system is faulty and the lead engineer stole integral parts and sold them on the black market. "

Response, "We have a rocket and you don't therefore ours will make it into space."

Who cares? It's a dumb idea anyway, and obviously a rip off of the earlier chained hashes that used a different number of functions. Is the first person to add another few hash functions on top of the 11 also a genius?

Why wasn't the "bug" that supposedly caused Dash's instamine caught on testnet?  Dash does have a testnet and is open source, right?

Wrong, there was no testnet for Xcoin in Jan 2014. Evan was working on this coin alone in his sparetime. Since when is being open source a synonym for "bug free software"?

Why wasn't the coin relaunched after such a failed fiasco of a first 48 hours?

Why should it? Is there a definition what fails a launch and what process has to be followed in the case of failure?


Technicalities aside, Dash's instamine was, for everyone not named Evan Scamfield, a premine.  We don't need him to come and 'Duff-splain' all about how Dash's instamine is actually a good thing.

And who are you, calling Evan Duffield insulting names? What's your proposed mitigation to the instamine incident - right now? We can all talk about the past in hindsight.

"When someone calls attention to one of the many questionable aspects of the Darkcoin/Dash instamine fraud: attack other coins whose emission and total supply were never tampered with.

Furthermore, create brand new sockpuppet accounts and use them to attack the whistleblowers"

- Dark/Dashtard bible

Except I'm not supporting DASH and the instamine/old codebase. This should have been obvious from my comment. On the oder side though your main whisteblower and biggest shill is the biggest scammer on earth: iCEBREAKER aka Eduardo Decastro who whines in the DASH thread daily while scamming people. Sad enough, you guys support him and his actions.

Crying about an other coin won't make your shitclone better.

Despite a year long campaign of plastering all known avenues on BCT with Monero propaganda, all it has done is loose value apart from the odd margin traded pump. Dash has also lost value but the difference is that it has a future because it did not make the fundamental mistakes in strategic monetary priorities that Monero did.

What a bizarre non sequitur. Why even mention "lost value" and "odd margin traded pumps", when you going to disregard the market and substitute your own conclusion instead, because it turns out that Dash has fared far worse in the market?

The main issue is that eduffield continues to insist the instamine wasn't intentional, when a trivial amount of research shows this is completely laughable. Until he admits to the intentional instamine Darkcoin/Dash is a total scam regardless of what you think about the technology.
I did not talk about the technology at all, i was asking for a proposal how to mitigate the instamine incident.

And why should someone admit something he did not do? Will you admit that you killed John Lennon?

We get it you invested everything you got on Monero when it was high and we have this on this forum before you deleted that post "Even though it was deleted we can still check it lol"

There is no way to know what happend until you are Evan - this applies to you and me. Judging on forum posts in hindsight and out of context is not a valid proof, for none of our or anyones theories.

And I did not speak for Evan - i just asked the question "why should someone admit to something he did not do" - in general.

Theoretically speaking:

Given that the instamine was a flaw/bug, Evan was totally overworked, glad he finally solved it by tweaking the code instead of relaunching it, mined a lot of coins, sold some, bought some - what should he do today?

This thread is to spread the word.

2+ million Darkcoin/DASH were instamined in the first 48 hours30 hours of launch. (1.5 million in the first 8 hours) Dev tries to make everyone believe it was an accident.

After the initial 2+ million coin instamine, they start using private GPU miners while convincing everyone else it's still a CPU only coin.

In addition, they:

- Lower the block emission 100x (500 coins per block to 5 coins per block)
- Lower the total coin supply that can ever exist from 80 million to 20 million
- Try and fail to bury the instamine by not mentioning it on the OP or the website
- Try to distance themselves from these facts by going through two rebrandings

https://i.imgur.com/wUvNpw2.png


They instamined at 100x emission and then drastically reduced the supply and emission rate once they had their fill. What a scam!  ::)

Spread the word, research.


To be convincing you should at least try to find some evidence before starting to accuse. Can you at least post some proof of what you are saying is true?

Yes, people are very fond of making excuses for him like you've just done here  ::)

Like i said, a trivial amount of research reveals the many inconsistencies and so-called coincidences that enabled eduffield to benefit greatly from the instamine.. his deception about the launch time and lack of windows wallet both support the intentional instamine argument. Also, his gross overstatement about "inventing" X11 is a good indicator of his complete lack of ethics

https://i.imgur.com/4I6EBtf.png


tl;dr: if it smells like shit it most likely is.
Where did I make a excuse for him? I've asked you to propose a mitigation, not to repeat your statements.

If we are playing arm chair litigator, how about a class action suit for misleading investors with the claims of "no premine" and the false promises of the infamous "masternode ROI" info graphic? But I'm sure Evan's lawyers already told him to lose those and the weak explanations that followed in regard to the instamine being "a great accident" are Evan's desperate attempt to steer the ship away from the rocks.

Do you know how I know Dash isn't quite done yet? The rats haven't left yet.

But when they figure it out, and enough of their ill gotten gains are safe on other shores, then we'll see the dash ship where it belongs--at the bottom of the scammy seas.

illodim's status as the 2nd kind of DashHole mentioned earlier is confirmed.

True, the stigma of the Dash community being intellectually challenged is somewhat unfair, and I can sympathise that a lot of Dash holders are simply below their break-even point and thus have no choice but to try to defend their actions and that of the coin's technology. I get that.

I've also heard it said that Dash is kind of like North Korea in the sense that the technology is crap, the concept is deeply flawed, is socially something of a ghost town, waves a disingenuous flag in the name of revolution and progress, while the ignorant skeleton community panders to the self-serving egoistic appetite of thy great leader. Again while that may all be 100% true, it is obviously unfair to those who have demonstrably reached a point of stupidity that far extends beyond any acceptable point of justifiable humiliation.

Well, one of those less-than-Evan devs just wrote a paper on how to incorporate confidential transactions into Monero.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3oi16k/ring_ct_for_monero_a_work_in_progress_comments/

So sorry if adding x and dark to everything doesn't impress me. So far we have, a bad x-11 mash-up that is only as strong as the weakest link and a human dependent privacy system that's weak because it depends on humans to follow ospec--which they rarely do--neither of which, if he did invent them, is worth bragging about.

TLDR: If you are going to incorporate or invent anything, make sure it's worth the time and actually does something of quality. Dash is a poor man's Bitcoin and a dumb man's Monero.

You are again conveniently leaving out the context, which was that if you really are looking for a resolution to the issues you are driving, you should sue. Crying about it in the forums isn't doing much for you. To which I replied that or they should sue you. Either way, a resolution could be achieved.

I'm not telling the judge anything. It's up to the army of attorneys to do that if AdamWhite or Darkcoin Foundation / some defamed individuals decide to look for a resolution. The resolution could be that one of the parties gets bankrupted in the process. But how else would you begin to calculate the damages if you don't mind me asking? I don't think the market cap cares about trolls at all, it has more to do with BTC price falling against which it is valued. Claiming otherwise is just yet another strawman of yours and totally irrelevant. People can go to court claiming the maximum, whether that is realistic in your opinion or not, and what the settlement eventually will be can be something else.

No. If it did, it would've been a hard fork and miners and users would've had to choose which fork to support. And by the looks of it, not many would've supported the new fork.


Did duff wanted to hide his shady dealings??

Depends on what you mean by shady. Given the agenda you're driving you probably imply a scam, which it isn't and wasn't.

You wouldn't want such a merge plan to leak because scammers would game the markets before the valuation date of the coins that determine the percentage each holder will get the new coin.

A coin that has 10% of the marketcap of the other (can't remember what the exact percentages were back then but around that number I presume) can easily be pumped by 100% or 200% to get unfair gains that don't reflect true market value.

Of course DASH is a scam run by scammers. What else would you call an intentional scam instamine then lying about it being a bug? Some more proof of fraud below. My personal favorite is the sham vote, now that's classy. But the hyping of exchange buys while selling OTC is also an instant classic

Evan: "Dash started as a hobby".

BULLSHIT...

This guy was looking for c++ developers for a FOR-PROFIT startup.

http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2013-December/003964.html


Here is what he said VERBATIM on Dec 29th, 2013

Quote
Hello,

We’re a startup looking for 1 or 2 really good C++ programmer that is
familiar with the bitcoin internals to help with a for-profit startup.

We will be able to provide more information about the project after signing
a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement. Our coin will be one of the truly
unique coins that are not just a clone of the original Bitcoin code. In
short the project will be a merge-mined altcoin that will provide a very
useful service to the whole crypto-coin ecosystem.

If you have added any features to Bitcoin or related technologies this is a
definite bonus. Please include information about the work you’re done in
the space.

We have detailed plans on how to implement it and the roles we are looking
to fill. If interested please email eduffield82 at gmail.com with a
description of your work experience and we’ll vett the applications and
share our plans to see if you’re interested.

Thanks,

Storm in the sandbox again :). There are only two important questions about any coin:
Can we trade it?
Can we make profit on it (preferably in BTC)?
If the answer is "yes" for both questions nobody will care about the rest.

BTW trolling each other not going to improve the reputation of any of the participants. Actually in this community Monero is noted much more because of it's aggressive fanclub than because of its features. Perhaps this isn't the best marketing strategy.

If the goal is to warn newbies to do their research because more crap is uncovered each week, that is not being repetitive.

For you, if it is hard to deal with, just put the user in question on ignore and go about your business if it bothers you that much.

Some facts are reposted because they are not being addressed directly by Evan when questioned about it.

DashHoles are very angry Monero is going up and getting attention from Bitcoin whales like melbustus and Roger Ver.

Hilarity ensues as they attack only to get slapped down...   :)

Quote from: melbustus
Yes, there are lots of masternodes. But the points about default-mixing, ie, the fact that DASH doesn't actually use protocol-level mixing or even enforce mixing at all, are still valid and make it a terrible choice for privacy.

It also has the problem of a profoundly dishonest start (unannounced ninja-mine).

tldr; Dash is basically for teenagers who fall for aggressive marketing.

This whole affair is simply disgusting. It appears that the Darkcoin developers are trying to kill this coin for its name. The reality is that the Dashcoin name belongs to the Dashcoin community and not to whomever made this deal with the Darkcoin developers. My take is that the Dashcoin community should simply fork the coin and keep calling it Dashcoin.

now theres some FACT.

it's that disgusting imo.

Don't worry, the DASH rebranding fiasco is shaping up to be the catalyst for the exposure of their HYIP scam.

They'll never get the rights to the trademark, and the AZ Atty General will be making inquiries regarding their purported Masternode ROI:

Pump all you want.  Dash has no fundamentals; nobody uses it for anything except a HYIP.

Don't try to use the current pump as evidence Dash isn't a scam.  That not how it works; PayCoin pumped in its day too.

Taking advantage of all the hype created by its community can be very profitable in the short term, as Evan is focusing on promoting and developing things that will increase the value of his coins.

What part of Monero's protocol doesn't transfer tokens to anyone except if they burn electricity do you not comprehend?

If you can't understand the relevance of that distinction to decentralization, then you are not qualified to tell anyone about crypto.

tl;dr is @Spoetnik is more concerned with ego than facts.

He seems to be entirely oblivious to the egregious distinction of decentralization between the two coins he is writing about.

When Dash launched it was Xcoin not DarkCoin. It was then renamed DarkCoin then Dash.  Each name change was done to create hype and make it more difficult to find out about the origins of the coin.  How do I know ?  I tried to mine Xcoin on day 1 and I've seen the scam progress and grow to where it is today.  Their entire statement is false... In the first hours there was a network glitch that DID NOT allow other miners to connect and start mining until about 16-20hours after the launch.  All this information is available in the forums but difficult to track down because of the many name changes and the moving of community forums.  The insta mine served to create a majority of master nodes which now generate interest making it mathematically impossible for any new user to compete with the ever gaining interest of the master nodes.  You have read the statement from the DASH team talking about healthy distributions, organic growth, large holders buying from exchanges and Evan being a nice guy isn't Objective.

Many users take difficulty with a few aspects of Dash, starting with the launch. The launch was done incompetently at best and maliciously at worst. Despite Evan saying he would "definitely not" launch the coin the same day, he later launched it a few hours later. Then, there was a "bug" in the code that caused massive coin generation over a short period. When this was pointed out, instead of relaunching the coin, they lowered the future generation and continued.
This is sketchy for multiple reasons. Promising not to launch put other users' guards down, which definitely lowered the number of miners who could take advantage of the block reward in the first few hours. This clearly benefitted those who could have known about this different release "bug", including all the miners and Evan.
To add to the craziness, a while later the block reward structure was changed to support those who already had a large number of coins. The reward to miners was reduced to 45%, the amount to masternodes was set to 45%, and a new community fund was set to 10%. The allocation of the community funds is determined by the masternodes.
This decision ensures that those who hold Dash will continue to get rich from the block reward. Furthermore, they have exclusive voting on where the community fund is allocated, which can be used to sponsor specific items of interest. For instance, it is used to fund the developers. Many people worry that those who benefited from the faulty launch continue to benefit from controlling a large number of masternodes.
People from the Dash community have a few objections to these above statements. They say that coins were pretty cheap shortly after launch, meaning someone is unlikely to be hoarding all the coins. They say that Evan is not running a ponzi because he continues to develop for the project.
Having cheap coins shortly after launch means that someone isn't holding all the coins, that's for sure. But if this whole series of events was orchestrated by a person or a handful of people, they could have held these coins and still have gotten rich. Others who did not know the future plans could be the ones selling for cheap. There is no way of really knowing.
Evan continues to contribute to Dash. Even if he continues to, it doesn't matter if he coordinated the faulty launch. Working for the project doesn't make up for deceiving the community.
Now, there is no hard proof of Evan doing any of this on purpose. It's possible he was just too stupid to notice the faulty coin supply and too lazy to relaunch.

BTU Bitcoin unlimited group is behind the dash pump, they want to fork Bitcoin and push people to Bitcoin unlimited fork to fully control Bitcoin...They used Dash as a trap.....otherwise Dash never could go 10X .... Anyway....the interesting point is Evan Duffield maybe the richest Dash owner and other Dash team members can go to jail because of competing with USD. Just think about it.... Because they are US citizens.... Anyway Dash will fail at the end....

Many don’t care as long as they can earn some money while trading that is  why not many people care about the nature of crypto currencies as long as they earn.

2+ million Darkcoin / DASH were instant mined in the first 48 hours 30 hours of launch. (1.5 million in the first 8 hours) Dev tries to make everyone believe it was an accident.

Dash Instamine Issue Clarification

Due to a number of questions about the so called Dash "instamine issue", the purpose of this document is to provide an official statement from the Dash team about this matter. Our intention is to provide Dash investors and users with information to help them understand the currency history and technical issues at the beginning of the project and draw their own conclusions on the impact.

Facts about the instamine

1- There was no pre-mine in Dash
2- ~1.86MM first 24h, ~2.02MM first 48h according to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/#@inflation
3- That represents approximately 10-15% of the total money supply that will ever be issued
4- This coin issue rate exceeded the published emission schedule by a wide margin

well, i've already traded all my Bitcoins and ETH for DASH Digital Cash. Ether has infinite coin supply, I do not trust an inflationary cryptocurrency. The Bitcoin network is very slow, many transactions are delayed. On the other hand, the DASH network is the most efficient. yes, the network of masternodes is a great idea

Total Bullshit.
The 2 Million Instamined plus the Easymined plus the Ninjamine plus the earl bulk buys are now used with the aid of Masternodes to get 55% (45% + 10% same entity, miners only get minority 45% share) of every new coin mined.

So the true Instamine now is somewhere in the 60% mark and rising all the time.

If he did not want the instamine he could have relaunched a second time a few hours later.

Passing off old news as "breaking" new news is typical Dash scam tactics.  Dash relies on greedy-low information and noob-type people being too stupid to fact-check its snake oil claims.

Current Dash Debit Fiasco status:

-- NO new updates
-- NO card exists
-- NO explanation for Shrem's total silence over the last 3 months
-- NO accountability for where the money went
-- NO push back from submissive DashHoles who apparently like being bent over and used by scammers so much that they vote to pay for the privilege

Nobody cares about what you "sense."  Keep it to yourself and if you can't discuss "DASH - The biggest ongoing SCAM in crypto" then SHUT THE FUCK UP.  :-*

Let's stay on topic instead of sharing irrelevant personal feelings about and reactions to what others have posted.

It's almost as if you are trying to change the topic away from the Dash scam by bringing meaningless subjective gossip into the discussion as a replacement for substantive discourse. :D

Let me be clear: unsolicited naked speculation about the moods of other posters is NOT ON TOPIC and may be reported to the mods.

Do you have anything to say about Dash's Instamine or Shrem Debit Card Fiasco?  Or are you just here to passive-aggressively castigate and attack those that do?

Well for me it is not true, that the darkcoin aka dash is the biggest ongoing scam in crypto, darkcoin is one of the best altcoins and the prce of it is good and doing well, and this is not scam because if it scam dash or is we will be trust by many users of altcoins.
