I'm not so much sure a "fake" - more like a copy.

The money made in crypto is convincing those with little technical understanding that something is something that it isn't.  The good ones copy, lie / mislead a little, & rebrand the hard work that's already been done (or keep things "closed sourced") for a time.  It seems to pay off for them, why so much hate?  House of cards comes down eventually always . . . .

"It's a copy of GreenAddress in the same way a cargo cult's bamboo runway is a copy."

Would you want to be in a plane landing on a bamboo runway?

I'd love to tell you to keep it classy iCEBREAKER - but I know you too well to believe that's going to make any difference.

Don't you think anyone who's spent more than 15 minutes googling DASH before they put their money in it is going to have a pretty good idea of what it is?

Instant-x and Darksend broken

Its hard to understand how so many people are convinced into this masternode system even ignoring the huge instamine

And yet another MONERO thread - wishing the big bad DASH would just go away so MONERO could go to MOOOON.

Unfortunately yes I do, because DASH targets rubes, not high-information consumers, with their HYIP snakeoil fraud.

That's why it's important for those of us who see something to say something.

And no plans in sight for masternode blinding.

Luckily the Dash rebrand has been far less effective in suckering in new bagholders compared to the old Darkcoin label.

Dash's subreddit has hundreds fewer members than XMR, a much newer coin.

^^^ Confirmed.

This thread is about why Peter Todd calls dash's instant-x fake.

There are a couple of other threads where complaining about the number of Monero theads is on-topic.

Of course as a card carrying cargo cultist, you don't like Peter Todd making fun of Dash's lulzy "bamboo runway" versions of real crypto.
