DASH is crowdfunding child abuse

[iCEBREAKER]

Yesterday I asked what the increasing Masternode count accomplishes.

Today I found out, and I'm sorry I asked.

Wtf: Pedophiles Launch Dash (“Darkcoin”) Mining Crowdfunding Platform
https://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/07/16/pedophiles-launch-dash-darkcoin-mining-crowdfunding-platform/

users must contribute their computer resources to “mine” Darkcoins (now branded as “Dash“) – a privacy-centric digital currency which offers advanced anonymity features.

By installing a Dash miner on their computer the users are able redeem the locked content once a pre-defined amount of coins have been mined and paid out to the uploader who turns his “content” into profit.

Instead of thinking of ways to stop this, the Dash community instead chose self-serving spin and denial:

It's a fake story

someone wants to buy cheap Dash hoping to discredit Dash this way

Even in comparison to the many other disgusting and illegal things Dash has done, this is beyond the pale.

The Dash community is more concerned about their butthurt over Peter Todd tweets than their platform being used for evil.

At the very least, they could:

A.  Not pretend "it's a fake story because someone wants cheap coins."  We saw how that head-in-the-sand approach worked for the Catholics...

B.  Consider technical countermeasures, which although difficult if Dash worked as described might be aided by its centralized aspects and shoddy cargo cargo's bamboo imitations of genuine crypto.

C.  Consider social countermeasures, for the sake of their coin's snakeoil reputation and to counteract the harm done to kids.

D.  Start a fundraiser and direct some % of Masternode payments to a charity that helps victims.

You're actually blaming this on DASH? The only reason that DASH was chosen is that it is currently the most popular "anon" coin around. It could have easily been Monero that was chosen as the ChoMo coin of choice.

[iCEBREAKER]

All the Nazis I know heart Monero. What's your point? You usually have one. (Waiting...)

Nice Godwin.  I wonder why you want this thread derailed into nonsense about a different coin and WW2.

My point is the Dash community is more concerned about their butthurt over Peter Todd tweets than their platform being used for evil.

I'm not blaming Dash for anything except their (lack of) reaction to the news.

I would do the same to any community that acted like they are.

See my previous post.

So Monero > DASH?

[sdmathis]

So Monero > DASH?

Actually, in many ways it is. DASH is more popular right now, but Monero's technology is superior to DASH's.

Of course it is. But that's no excuse for smart people to start saying stupid things.

No. It's no excuse at all. When people start saying stupid things, it hurts the very coin that they're trying to promote.

Agreed.  This kind of irresponsible, hand-waving response to news of Dash's Pedofunding is tone-deaf and nauseating:

[doc12]

Maybe the scammy dev can give half of his premine (1M) for the children ?

I just hope this evan guy cashes out BIG some day ...

[generalizethis]

Or maybe they can try to bury the news by launching a reverse troll spam attack on Monero...  The timing of these new accounts overposting Monero threads is conspicuous, as it is happening at the same time as this story and Peter Todd calling dash "snake oil." I guess you can pick your poison snake oil.

This is a good idea.  I'd donate.  Even though I think Darkcoin is stupid.

By doing nothing it makes the crypto community look complicit

[ridery99]

DUMP IT.

[OBAViJEST]

This makes no sense at all, and sounds like a horrible attempt at slander from some random competitor.  All logic has been thrown out the window with this one...

Deepdotweb is a popular news site, not "some random competitor."

What is your evidence their journalism is unprofessional?

Attacking the messenger isn't going to help Dash's reputation.  Doing that just makes them look worse.

Doing nothing makes Dashcoiners complicit.  Actively negating Deepdotweb's report makes them accomplices.

[rangedriver]

I'm not so sure about this.

Most people I've encountered who are into Dash tend to be the dumbest dumbest muthafuckers on the planet. I mean seriously, if there's an award going for the "stupidest weed-smoking brain-dead plastic-politics fucking-imbecile fuck-da-NSA-but-I-don't-even-know-how-to-do-it" community, then Dash takes it everytime.

It's like sellng ice to the Eskimos.

"Instamine? Masternodess? Nahhh I just wanna buy dwugs... gimme dwugszz... Fuck the NSA mannnn."

Seriously, take a visit to any exchange trollbox and it's always the stupidest cunts in the room who own or support Dash. Every fucking time.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Darkcoin was born when a few Dogers got lost and were accidentally fed after midnight. Gone is the semblance of cuteness, replaced with a grotesquery of vacuous intention... yet still ultimately retards and self-microwaveable.

So are Dash types incredibly stupid? Yes.

But pedophiles? I don't think so.

[TrueCryptonaire]

If this is true, it is really bad PR for Darkcoin.

[G2M]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That’s because you can contribute without ever paying for CP. Instead, this server will mine darkcoins and use those to pay people who upload private photos and videos. You can help by instructing your computer to connect to our stratum miner through tor and some of the mining calculations used to create these darkcoins will be outsourced to your computer. You can choose which video or photo set you want your mining calculations to go towards and any darkcoin created using your calculations will go into an account just for your chosen video or photo set. When that account reaches the number of darkcoins the uploader asked for, they are all paid to him and the video or set is made available for download to everyone, even to people who could not contribute anything. If more people help with the mining calculations, then CP gets released faster and more people will be willing to upload.

Time for another rebrand? Maybe something to reflect your new customer and mining base?

I'm thinking:

[ANN][PEDO] Pedoir | First Pedo-Centric Coin |  Inventor of Streamlined Child Abuse, Home of the Adolescently Challenged, Pedosend and Instant Statutory.

[iCEBREAKER]

If this is true, it is really bad PR for Darkcoin.

Even if Deepdotweb's article isn't true, it is the Dashcoiners' reaction (denial, spin) and lack of reaction ('omg peter todd tweets') which damns them.

Dash types may be both.  Now that I think about it, their "Darkcoin" marketing was targeted at the 4chan types.

So of course a little teasing from Peter Todd is of much greater concern than a report of their coin being used for pure evil.

I don't usually cheer for the TLA JBTs, but in this case I hope they pwn enough MolesterNodes to destroy whatever fake bamboo version of privacy Dash offers.

I'm not going to buy Darkcoins just to donate them, but I'm trying to "do something" by raising the issue and suggesting appropriate reactions.

Hint for you DashHoles: ignoring the problem won't make it go away; pretending it isn't happening makes you look complicit.
