That was lunch & it looks like DASH is going to pick up the tab for dinner

More especially those who were shorting it, time to move the bid walls up a wee bit

Obviously I can but agree with you, but if bitcoin gets confidential transactions soft forked this year, then the market will decide which system is better or which it is happy to use.  The issue for Dash and xmr, etc, is the fist mover advantage of Bitcoin. A better product doesn't always win first prize.

First mover advantage doesn't always win.  Sometimes it's the "fast follower" aka second mover.  The initial first-mover advantage will last for a period of time, only to be replaced by the "Fast Follower".  Ford Motor Company was the first mass produced manufacturer of cars.  Within a short time, General Motors was outselling them by offering something Ford would not.  By following a strategy of innovation, combined with focusing on getting the word out, DASH has an excellent chance of succeeding in the Digital Cash realm.

--------------------------------

"First-movers are not always able to benefit from being first. Whereas firms who are the first to enter the market with a new product can gain substantial market share due to lack of competition, sometimes their efforts fail. Second-mover advantage occurs when a firm following the lead of the first-mover is actually able to capture greater market share, despite having entered late.

First-mover firms often face high research and development costs, and the marketing costs necessary to educate the public about a new type of product. A second-mover firm can learn from the experiences of the first mover firm, and may not face such high research and development costs, if it is able create its own version of a product using existing technology. A second-mover firm also does not face the marketing task of having to educate the public about the new project because the first-mover has already done so. As a result, the second-mover can use its resources to focus on making a superior product or out-marketing the first-mover."

Hello,

I am supporter of DASH since it was DARK Coin in the past.

So you missed the instamine. It was called Xcoin back then.

I missed it too, and only by a few weeks. But I don't give a shit about the instamine because I know a working DAO when I see one. Dash is more like a decentralized autonomous bank, but not everyone is comfortable with that terminology yet. Better get ready though, because it's already here, and it's the first mover.

[Rakete4]

A thread with 6145 pages is not a working DAO. It's a crowd of people who have fallen for the marketing of scammers.

I've never understood why the trolls insist that DASH is a scam.

Origin
1960s: of unknown origin.

Dash had an unexpectedly high emission rate during the first 24-48 hours, which was subsequently fixed. Those who were lucky enough to mine Dash during those couple of days ended up getting quite a lot of it. The amount of Dash that they own, however, in no way diminishes the value of the Dash I purchased a few months later.

Over the last two years, after a brief "spike," the price of Dash settled around $2-$3. Now it's settled around $11-$12. How is a 500-600% ROI in two years a scam?

I've just always been baffled by that. Frankly, if anybody had the foresight or luck to check this forum in January 2014 and mine Dash instead of one of the other THOUSAND brand new cryptos that had just been launched, then more power to them. My Dash is worth more today than it was when I bought it, so if you call that a scam, then we need a whole lot more scams in this world!

Yeah, i dont understand that myself. I bought my first Darkcoins at the very very top (0.025 & 0.026 range in May 2014), which are currently still not in the clear (i still have them) but buying the dips later on more
then made up for those early high range buys.

People should take responsebility for their own actions, if they sold at a lost then they should live with that decision. It is not like they are/were unaware how volatile cryptocurrencies can be, as pretty much every central bank issued warnings about it.

Hello bandidorl - long time no talk/see
Good to see your still around :-D

Yeah, mostly lurking here and in DASH.org but holding my dash forever

I was intrigued that there has been a thread about this story in the Press section for over a day and the M-community didn't touch it. Neither the "normals" nor the trolls - just... crickets:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1614010.0

Dash users not affected, I assume. Could it happen here? Anything we should learn from their misfortune?

Of course it could happen to us.
It could happen to any coin.

In theory, but with Dash ASICs and split block rewards between miners and MNs, I wouldn't think it'd be worth it.

I remember that Darkcoin had a few incidents back in the day where people were running cpu-miners and later on gpu miners on the victims machines. For instance see this reddit post about a cpu miner back in 2014: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/28klfl/disguised_mining_process_using_up_99_cpu_on/

I made a really quick google search for malicious gpu mining on gaming rigs, but I did not find what I was looking for. Maybe others remember this. People were installing some popular game, but in the background, they were mining darkcoin at the same time on their beefy gaming rigs.

So yes, all coins have this "misfortune", but anyone can install a piece of software and start mining on a pool, it's not that hard really.
Today it might not happen with Dash due to asics and high difficulties, but still sometimes people come up with the clever idea of cpu-mining bitcoin so you never know....

I think it was one of the GTA games? I'm not sure if that was ever proven or just a rumor. Can't remember.
