The following has been brought to the attention of the DASH core team several times and has been categorically ignored.
 

Here is eduffield posting about how the DASH team have as much DASH for sale as you could possibly want OTC. If you're not interested now, don't worry. You can join the mailing list!




daniel@dashpay.io is Minotaur26, you might remember him from his shill post recommending DASH as a buy at over 0.012+. At the same time, eduffield is spamming the thread with "i'm buying!" along with his amateur hour "Technical Analysis":





When called out on what a bad trade this was:




Now why would he need to buy coins on an exchange at all when by his own admission the DASH team is selling coins OTC ?

Furthermore, by buying his coins on the exchange rather than OTC through his accomplice Minotaur26, are we to understand that eduffield does not wish to contribute to the "ongoing expenses and promotion" of DASH?



TL;DR - Summary of events:


Sept 15: Coin's founder begins posting pump/hype statements like "Finally got my money to the exchange" as if inviting the public to take advantage of an opportunity to front-run a bull with insider info.

Sept 16: Coin's founder continues pump/hype with self-serving, faulty TA.

Sept 18: Coin's founder advertises OTC coins for sale, on an ongoing basis, from the coin's official website.  Why he's using market rather than OTC buys (which directly benefit his coin) is not disclosed.

Oct 4: Coin's founder advertises he's still buying...


Note: This summary does not mention specific names, to make it clear that such actions would be outrageous no matter the particular coin/dev involved.

Much of the double talk I would like to hear Evan address as he is a public figure in the DASh community.

He said he would take responsibility for the instamine but when I asked him to take responsibility via posting that "DASH was instamined" on their main forum front page and the main page of their thread he has yet to do so.

Lots of shadiness surrounding Mr. Evan Duffield.

Yes we believe in different things.

Our realities are very different.

Well I'm not against instamining coins or premining them. <---- Personally I would never buy these.

But if you are going to call it a feature then own up to it in every way possible and stop dodging the topic like Mr. Duff has done.

Waw that doesn't look good.

Scam or not i made money from it

You Monero trolls are funny - you must be getting sore fingers from typing the same thing over and over.

Keep up the trolling - I want AT LEAST 200 dash troll posts a day as the new benchmark with new and innovative comments, you are all getting sloppy.

Triple top!  ROFLOLMAO!!!

Presumably, those are the very same people who have been 'scammed'  

The reality is that Dash is probably the single single biggest contender for real-world adoption after bitcoin and that is why it attracts so much troll-attention from butthurt thumb-twiddlers with nothing better to do such as those found in this thread.

The reason for its success has nothing to do with its beginnings and everything to do with the fact that it puts the implementation of all the properties of cash at forefront of its development priorities.

Then there's the fact that it is uniquely able to lever so much of the bitcoin technology stack while at the same time deploying its 3000-and-counting string masternode network to universally support fungibility across the whole coin supply (as opposed to bitcoin's boilerplated solutions). That means user-oriented assets such as the newly completed Dash electrum wallet, payment processors, mobile solutions and quality independent blockchain services.

Say what you like about the masternode approach - it's delivering, and doing so without all the comprimises that are plaguing mono-layer cryptos right now. Privacy without recourse to obscurity or sidechains, scaleability without recourse to messing with blocksize, confirmation time without recourse to blocktime. That's aside from supporting a decentralised governance strategy that's in place, delivering results and totally consistent with a trust-free peer-to-peer philosophy.

Also, while you folk are rattling around in your troll-cans, remember not to talk about the fact that Dash has established a front-loading strategy for adoption which has its roots in solid industrial sectors such as energy.

Meanwhile, the subject of your 'scam' accusations - far from swaning off to the Caribbean two weeks after launch - has probably turned out to be one of the most hard working and innovative devs in cryptocurrency because unlike other devs he understands the nature of MONEY. That dedication has now delivered a roadmap for the next 18 months worthy of the one that has just been delivered upon.

So in conclusion, if you see yourselves as butthurt Dash-haters and are desperate to further your agenda - keep chewing on that "instamine" bone. If there's any meat left on it your sure gonna need it  

I know yeah? And now look what the price looks like:

I have the same feeling it is a scam coin from first day. However, it is still developed actively. That could the reason why people still support it.
