Darkcoin aka DASH - The biggest ongoing SCAM in crypto

[illodin]

Did Dash create more coins out of thin air? 

No. If it did, it would've been a hard fork and miners and users would've had to choose which fork to support. And by the looks of it, not many would've supported the new fork.

Did duff wanted to hide his shady dealings??

Depends on what you mean by shady. Given the agenda you're driving you probably imply a scam, which it isn't and wasn't.

You wouldn't want such a merge plan to leak because scammers would game the markets before the valuation date of the coins that determine the percentage each holder will get the new coin.

A coin that has 10% of the marketcap of the other (can't remember what the exact percentages were back then but around that number I presume) can easily be pumped by 100% or 200% to get unfair gains that don't reflect true market value.

Looks like illodin aka illospin is on scam defence duty today


Of course DASH is a scam run by scammers. What else would you call an intentional scam instamine then lying about it being a bug? Some more proof of fraud below. My personal favorite is the sham vote, now that's classy. But the hyping of exchange buys while selling OTC is also an instant classic

Well if you don't like FUD being refuted by simply posting facts it's not my problem.

Facts are fine. My statement was in response to this:

Anyone denying Dash is a scam at this point is either

- blind
- stupid
- has an agenda of their own
- all of the above

Network Administrators ?



This deserves some discussion : how much power would these network administrators get, how many of them will there be and
how much control do we have over them ?

Ok so if it is so clear to you please explain how would merging 2 coins be a scam?

Evan: "Dash started as a hobby".

BULLSHIT...

This guy was looking for c++ developers for a FOR-PROFIT startup.

http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2013-December/003964.html


Here is what he said VERBATIM on Dec 29th, 2013

Hello,

We’re a startup looking for 1 or 2 really good C++ programmer that is
familiar with the bitcoin internals to help with a for-profit startup.

We will be able to provide more information about the project after signing
a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement. Our coin will be one of the truly
unique coins that are not just a clone of the original Bitcoin code. In
short the project will be a merge-mined altcoin that will provide a very
useful service to the whole crypto-coin ecosystem.

If you have added any features to Bitcoin or related technologies this is a
definite bonus. Please include information about the work you’re done in
the space.

We have detailed plans on how to implement it and the roles we are looking
to fill. If interested please email eduffield82 at gmail.com with a
description of your work experience and we’ll vett the applications and
share our plans to see if you’re interested.

Thanks,

Evan & Kyle
Hawk Financial Group, LLC

Storm in the sandbox again . There are only two important questions about any coin:
Can we trade it?
Can we make profit on it (preferably in BTC)?
If the answer is "yes" for both questions nobody will care about the rest.

BTW trolling each other not going to improve the reputation of any of the participants. Actually in this community Monero is noted much more because of it's aggressive fanclub than because of its features. Perhaps this isn't the best marketing strategy.

oh boy...

seems the pre/instamine money is good fore some things:

Posting facts is not trolling.

Posting facts is not trolling.

Indeed, but posting the same facts over and over again can be counter-productive, and legitimate contribution can turn to trolling if some groups doing it constantly and vocally enough.

If the goal is to warn newbies to do their research because more crap is uncovered each week, that is not being repetitive.

For you, if it is hard to deal with, just put the user in question on ignore and go about your business if it bothers you that much.

Some facts are reposted because they are not being addressed directly by Evan when questioned about it.

DashHoles are very angry Monero is going up and getting attention from Bitcoin whales like melbustus and Roger Ver.

Hilarity ensues as they attack only to get slapped down...   

Yes, there are lots of masternodes. But the points about default-mixing, ie, the fact that DASH doesn't actually use protocol-level mixing or even enforce mixing at all, are still valid and make it a terrible choice for privacy.

It also has the problem of a profoundly dishonest start (unannounced ninja-mine).

tldr; Dash is basically for teenagers who fall for aggressive marketing.

Enjoy your EvanCoins, folks.

I just bought into DarkNet.

It is a good community. Good development team. Very similar to DASH, but fair distribution.

I just tried logging in and my account and DASH is gone.

Says it doesn't exist.

On another note, I used to collect dash through faucetbox. Never received the payment.

Thankfully most my DASH came from dashad.io when it was still around.

@SatoshiLite dislikes DASH too:

He does not support its governance ranking both Decred and Monero higher:

I heard this coin is major instamined by the team, for their development fund and similar reserve to company shares, sometimes is legal, IMO dash is not scam, they are doing business with that fund, not dump on traders. They are legit projects.
