Yes I agree (some) people could have compiled it themselves. That does leave out a lot of users though, within those first critical few hours.

Although...even this guy likely compiled it for the first time after launch. Linux users too for that matter. Evan didn't release the new source code until one minute before launch. I'm not sure whether it is possible to compile it on any reasonable (mainstream) computer within one minute. And with 500K+ coins mined in the first hour, minutes count...


There was no hyperinflation certainly. The rate of coin distribution was right on schedule within a few minutes.


Here's one of many, from over a year ago: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lightwallet-a-lightweight-account-manager-for-monero-903579

2014 called, they want their "no GUI" FUD back.

we've been over this ad nauseum.
this guy compiled it before launch. others could have done the same or wait for the release you quoted.


he did something wrong but eventually he figured it out.



like i said the launch was not pretty and had issues. the issues were probably just as bad as the hyper inflationary monero cripplemine launch issues and multi-thread monero ninja launch by a scam dev that y'all had to kick out.  

dude where's my GUI?

No, because the Dictator of Darkcoin decided in haste to steal another communities' coin name, which happened to be based on plain-vanilla cryptonote.

The rebrand was an unforced error; an epic own goal.  It simultaneously alienated the "Dark" supporters and enraged the Dashcoin people, creating two enemies for no good reason other than the hope a rebrand would miraculously lift Darkcoin into 'legitmate mainstream' status.

Trolls are here! Time to buy!

....because of all the Monero people in here, right?

wow confusing to me. thanks

Electrum-Dash with Trezor support released!

Great news! 

The Dash community deserves an answer to that important question.

It's unacceptable for the usual suspects (who only post in Dash threads) to be so two-faced, saying with one side of their mouths the instamine isn't a big deal and is a good thing, while simultaneously attacking anyone with a different opinion (or tone).

No, this one is not cryptonote

And free of charge with bump bonus 

2 broken records for the price of one.

Wrong.

Here's the (second) launch:


Here's Evan asking someone to compile for Windows:


Here's the first public Windows binaries:


Almost 5 hours passed (almost 2 hours before Evan even asked anyone to create Windows binaries). How many coins were mined in that time period?

Melech raises several excellent points.  First among them, why should we believe Fishy Evan the Instaminer or Otoh the Market Manipulator when they disclaim owning an overwhelming percentage of Masternodes?  I thought the benefit of blockchains is the deprecation of trust.

Your tone policing is a form of trolling.  This is not a self-moderated thread, so your concern about tone is inappropriate and off-topic.

Evan is free to start a self-moderated thread if he wishes to exclude all but gushingly pro-Dash cheerleading.

Speaking of which, it's funny how you True Believers' guileless, boot-licking tone is just fine, but anyone asking how we can trust the word of an instaminer needs to dial back the negativity.   

did i hear this now is cryptnoote style coin?

I have a cigarette dispenser, Would it be interesting to have it too?
Software could be adapted quickly (Rasp)

I bought some Dash for almost nothing in february / 2014. Yes, the distribution happened, I was there.

This was my take on it a few months back. Might be worth a read. I think my analysis is about the closest thing to proof you can get that even under the rosiest assumptions, there isn't any way Evan could have 500 masternodes. It's not feasible and the numbers are all right there to back it up. Remember that my analysis was based on generous assumptions throughout.

there actually was a window miner compiled at the launch because something went wrong and the launch was delayed until it could be fixed. it was fixed and by then somebody had compiled the windows miner and people were using it. it's all documented in the first several pages.

after that is when the 48hr ~2mill instamine happened. the launch was not pretty but it seems to have worked it's self out now. no coin that i know of has had a perfect launch that was fairly distributed. definitely not btc and while ltc was a bit better distribution wise they still had a small instamine due to their code. that code was partially responsible for our instamine because we were based on ltc code at the time.

out of the 3 (btc, ltc and DASH) i would say ltc may have the fairest distribution but it's hard to say. there still weren't that many miners back then but way more than btc but not anywhere as many as DASH. there are several btc people that have 1mil+ btc including satoshi.  illodine has said more people mined DASH the first day than mined btc the 1st year and from my research that sounds about right. no one really knows though.
with all the different variables in play it looks to me they all have about equal distribution with ltc #1 and DASH and BTC close behind. none of that distribution is "fair" in the big picture to the other 99% of the world population that does not own any crypto.

Thing is you are preaching to the choir
WE KNOW this - everything your writing
Heard it before
We'll surely hear it again and again

BUT I'M NOT GOING ANY WHERE!!!!!!!!

Nothing will chase me away from DASH



(his/her words read just like some of our famous trolls)
(seriously doubt this is a NEW person here)

Not disrespecting your points, just your tone.
