The problem you folks have isn’t Dash’s “instamine”. It’s this:
Back in the spring of last year, Dash (then Darkcoin) demonstrated that there was some mileage in improving on bitcoin’s anonymity support by doing something about fungibility.
That created a bit of a bandwagon and Cryptonote appeared. Only Cryptonote kind of threw the baby out with the bathwater by adopting the
credit model of money (which emobodys a private record keeping paradigm as opposed to an open, anonymous cash paradigm). Not only that, it paid a heavy price for adopting the “wrong” paradigm by completely ditching the bitcoin commercial interface and attempting to re-invent the cryptocurrency wheel from the ground up.
There might have been a case for doing that a couple of years ago when the “battle of the alts” commenced and there was some doubt as to whether bitcoin’s supremacy would be challenged. That case is now well and truly buried and with it the fortunes of ‘credit-money based privacy coins’ such as cryptonote.
Despite a year long campaign of plastering all known avenues on BCT with Monero propaganda, all it has done is loose value apart from the odd margin traded pump. Dash has also lost value but the difference is that it has a future because it did not make the fundamental mistakes in strategic monetary priorities that Monero did.
Dash DID adopt the anonymous cash model instead of the ‘private’ credit model. It DID keep itself compatible and compliant with the Bitcoin eco-system. And it DID establish a mechanism for sustaining the growth in
payment processors,
mobile solutions and
quality independent blockchain services. Because of that it's now in a healthy position to deploy one of the most ambitious roadmaps in the whole crypto sector.
So all that’s left for the types who start threads like this is to chew away at Dash’s launch issues in the hope that it might clear some space for coin who’s monetary shortfalls would hamper its adoption even if it was the only crypto left on the planet.
It’s an embarrassing sight.
Not least because of the damage you do to your own fellow holder’s prospects, most of whom probably represent a silent majority that would rather see something more than a year-late useable wallet, a bloat database and a hate campaign as the reward for their patience.
