I do find it a bit disappointing that Coindesk assumes our growth of 3x price-wise and 4x marketcap-wise only got realised
because of our name-change. Not a word about our decentralized governance model, our decentralized budget model and
the incentivized elements of our masternode network.
The rebrand was a net loss, as it alienated Darkcoin fans (like vertoe) who initially supported Darkcoin and destroyed with the generic new name any reasonable expectation of a decent Google page rank.
Dash's "decentralized governance model" and "decentralized budget model" are proven liabilities, not assets.
The proof of that claim is the negative ROI and reputation damage done by Dash's many failed high-profile/high-budget resource allocations.
Rather than show the world how "distributed governance by blockchain" can work successfully, Dash repeatedly demonstrated the wrong way to do it.
Dash fails at basic tasks over and over again, because they become so convoluted and unaccountable. It's like you Evan's Gate cargo cultists cannot learn from mistakes, because admitting fault would be "trolling" and "shilling for Monero."
Here in all its glory is
Dash's Litany Of Governance Failures
- aka -
2016 YEAR IN REVIEW
1) Legal work Part I - 1492 Dash - (Masternode rewards etc for IRS)
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-legal-sept.10457/2) Legal work Part II - 1728 Dash -
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-legal-part-ii-oct.10786/-So much money spent, and yet we still don't have a legal opinion on how Dash supposedly avoids the registration/regulation appropriate to an investment product like Masternodes (Howey Test) and the requirement to comply with Money Services Business licensing.
3) ATM Master Compliance Program Phase 1 - 748 Dash -
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-dash-atm-master-compliance-program-phase-i.10312/-You DashHoles got scammed by your own community on this one. They took the money and ran, and Scamassu says they've never heard of Dash. Not to mention the very existence of Dash ATMs demonstrates Dash is not actually digital cash.
4) Marketing - Brand & Design - 350 Dash -
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-marketing-brand-design.11279/-Another fiasco. You idiots failed to account for changes in the Dash price, then reneged on your contract with the PR firm, thus demonstrating why nobody should ever expect a firm, enforceable arrangement with anything as flaky as "muh blockchain democracy."
5) Lamassu epic failure of a project - 7327 Dash - Multiple threads on forums, slack etc asking for updates and silence for months and months!
-This is my favorite. Ira Miller scammed the hell out of you gullible cultists and it took you months to figure that out. See what happens when you allocate resources without skin in the game? That's right, you get mal-allocation as scammers show up in droves to eat the free lunches provided by Evan's monetary printing press. I hope Daniel (Minotaur) and Ira are spending their free coins on beaches/booze/babes!
6) Proton Mail Integration - countless developer hours with many meetings and travel and nothing? Saying "we did our part" and its up to them it not good enough in my books. How are we being proactive etc.
-Yet another example of DashHoles prioritizing Hope & Dreams over solid, actually useful development. If Proton saw an advantage to using Dash (which doesn't exist because BTC's privacy is better) they would add it without artificial incentives.
7) Mycelium Integration - ditto as above?
-LOL, That's Not Going To Happen. Again DashHoles vainly try to force the invisible hand of the market by distorting the profit motive with out of band side channel bribes.
8. Soda Machine
-So much trouble and expense just for the sake of kissing MacAffee's ass for 5 minutes. You incompetent buffoons could barely get the thing to work; the whole idea of a full node on every soda machine is beyond ridiculous and well into the real of self-parody. The cherry on top was the cult losing a key supporter due to the rage quit engendered by working on this over-due, over-budget dumpster fire of a project.
9. Dash Nation
-We are sick of the Dash Spam. Enough duplicate posts. Enough in-post advertising. Do you guys know what they do to spammers in Russia?
Thats 11645++ Dash gone into thin air with NOTHING to show for it
WHO WAS RUNNING THESE PROJECTS, and why was there not even questions asked internally from the Dash core team??
Why did no one ever care to keep these projects on track or accountable?
Core team keeps trying to bite off more than it can chew.
FINISH a few projects to completion with high quality is better than having many sitting there unfinished with wasted money and no momentum.
Of course the DashHoles will ignore all of this and deflect by calling me a "troll."
But they can't do that to Stealth923, a Dash Foundation Member who
is now calling BULLSHIT on Dash's scamming and thus on the brink of liquidating his Masternodes and rage quitting.
As much as I hate saying this, I will be voting no against @babygiraffe and the core team proposals.
They keep asking for money but have zero responsibility and accountability to provide updates.
If there are no updates throughout January, I will start offloading my masternodes as continual behaviour like this will never result in a successful project.
@kot @babygiraffe many people have been asking for updates for months for projects you are running. Stop ignoring us.
