TheDasher, the freelance troll... His only mission in life is to detract Dash. Look at his profile description (left) and his sig... should explain it all quite clearly.

One reason would be that Monero has never reduced its rate of supply, because we stuck with the social contract even when the supply was a bit high for the market (causing dumping), and big investors wanted it cut. Darkcoin/dash did make cuts, as I understand it. Monero may have been originally designed with a somewhat faster supply curve, I don't know the details, but in any case that is somewhat irrelevant given that the darkcoin/dash supply curve has been changed multiple times. There are better threads for this discussion though, such as this one so feel free to join over there if you are actually interested. Other than correcting incorrect information, I never post about Monero here. Here's what an independent review says about the Monero supply curve (click through to see an analysis of the entire blockchain showing everything is as it should be: On one hand, a 4 year plan to produce 85% of the currency is waaaay better than 90% of the coins on this investigation. In comparison to bitcoin, we see that from its inception from January of 2009 to today, May of 2014 (roughly 5.5 years), bitcoin has produced around 60% of its expected coin totals 163). In that sense, Monero isn't too much of a divergence.
There are no instantmines or premines in Monero. The smooth block subsidy scheme could be a little bit more tapered towards a slower distribution than it is, but ultimately this coin passes the smell test.
Highly inflationary altcoin curves create a hooking addiction, where you must constantly throw more money to bring yourself to a better cost-average price, as the supply inflates and price is pressured to go down. Most investors don't have the pockets to chase their losses all the time, neither are they willing to constantly feed their investment to get to a lower and lower price / cost-averaging their way. So those who don't have the pockets lose out, and those who do chase the investment (kind of like gambling where you are chasing your losses), get a lot of coins and an unexpected size of investment on their part (they wanted to go with an X amount of BTCs and ended up doing 5-10X). One must admit that there is a "hooking the investor and get tons of his BTCs" element in this type of emission scheme. Fairness, in this context, is problematic because the regular guy can't simply buy 10 coins and expect ROI when the market is flooded with new coins. So, in a sense, only the deep-pocketed whales can gain - and even them might lose quite a few if they are invested from the start. You need a very weird investment strategy on when to enter, in order to not lose money.

And while we are also looking beyond Plato's cave, trolls especially may enjoy this allegory That's interesting, I wonder if this is what the Matrix trilogy is based on.

You're obviously pretty uninformed about Monero, which is not meant as an insult by any means. After all it is just one of many coins and perhaps one that doesn't interest you, fair enough.
You know, when you're not exactly bashing a competing currency, you're quite bearable. Will look into it. Fuck off,he doesn't stop about 'premine' dash and say that ? Monero was an old scam and affilied with so much other shitcoin scam,don't take me for a fool...

I was just commenting on the fact that he's able to write a few paragraphs without trolling and in a coherent and objective manner in contrast to what I have seen in earlier posts. We can still talk like people to each other. Geez... no need to get toxic about it. Thank you so much for that link! I wanted to watch that for a while now but lost it from my radar and forgot the title.

Hilarious! I think you need to do another graph that shows the "troll level" factor in his posts tracked against DASH's price as I have a feeling the price goes up when he's posting most ardently as a troll and the price eases off when he's being reasonable (like in his last post he's speaking normally and with relatively respectful terms/expressions yet DASH is easing.....when he's as per his more usual style, the price starts ascending again). We can then provide some sort of incentive to him to do "his very best" trolling which will help things along nicely.

Hahaha, that is really funny, its a pity his posts don't form a leading edge of 10 minutes then we could trade on it to our advantage and smooth could finally have a raison d'etre in life.

Dash is 27.3 times faster with syncing and updating than Bitcoin and 93.7 times faster than Monero. Bitcoin (v0.11.0) has a Tao ratio 11.2% faster than bitcoin (v0.10.0) release. Dash (v.0.12.0.49) = Tao sync ratio = 0.15 seconds / hour of update || Dash (v.0.11.2.23) = Tao sync ratio = 0.24 seconds / hour of update. V12 versus V11 speedup = +36.5% Bitcoin (v.0.11.0) = Tao sync ratio = 4.14 seconds / hour of update || Monero (v.0.41.1) = Tao sync ratio = 14.2 seconds / hour of update

There's surely a CFD someone could pull together around this! Perhaps we could design an algorithm that assesses each of smooth's posts and allocates a "troll factor" from 1 to 10. This is then one of several added to a basket of troll activity that's monitored to create a reportable index compared against DASH's price to facilitate a secondary CFD market we can trade on. The dynamics would be hard to understand (a bit like trying to determine what drives people to become trolls in the first place) and it would be highly volatile, but it would add a whole other interesting factor into the mix!
