Topic: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency - page 1586. (Read 9723858 times)

Pages and pages of Monero bagholders arguing about a coin they consider an scam. Tireless efforts of our resident Monero trolls repeating the same every day and sock puppets with very lame names just increasing the size of this thread trying to make it unreadable. They are not going to win.

The situation here is something any rational investor can think about. They are here because they are scared.

Fuck the trolls, Evan & team are doing a great job.

It's obvious that it's much more profitable to sell at pumps than to support a masternode during a price decline. Masternodes are good only for the ones who want to support the network out of their enthusiasm and good will. Payments are just a small bonus. So your statement is invalid.

Evan's plan since the beginning was to Instamine and then collect income on his masternodes. It's pretty obvious

Ok, I'll leave out the "for investors" part. Am I closer to reality now?

So $X million wasn't enough money? He decided to devote the next 18 months of his life to the project, full time, in hopes that he could make some more? If so, where's the volume on the buy side? When did he buy back in?


If you want to fix the supply issue, that's what you do. But if you want to get as close as possible to your original emission curve, you don't.

He asked the community--here, on this thread--if they wanted to relaunch. He posted a poll, linked to on this thread, asking if they wanted massive inflation via "airdrop." What more could the man do? The community told him not to relaunch and not to inflate away the instamine. The community--not the miners. Was he supposed to just ignore them and do it anyway?

Is was possible.

Cryptsy volume alone was between 70,000 and 300,000 Dash (DRK per) day.

The reason he's still here is simple. He's a creative developer with ideas, ability and the motivation to make them happen.

The reason you're still here is equally as simple though not quite as admirable I'm afraid.

Whoever the holders of the instamined coins are, assuming they know what they are doing, I see 3 scenarios possible:

1. They sold their coins cheap before May 2014.
2. They sold their coins during either or both big pumps. Probably even took part in price manipulation themselves.
3. They haven't sold all their coins yet and planning another pump, even bigger than the previous ones.

Probably all of this is true for different holders. Anyway, the first 2 scenarios mean there is no danger of someone dumping a shitload of coins out of the left field and crashing the price. The 3rd one means there's going to be another pump. Either of which is good for investors.

I would need more information from the troll on this point. I assumed he meant that Evan changed his mind on the emission schedule before the "final" launch. I don't see a problem with changing your mind on emission before you launch--Ethereum did this. I also don't see a problem with changing your emission rate to try and fix the mess that the instamine caused.

In any event, everybody is forgetting a critical fact here: Evan asked if people wanted to relaunch and they resoundingly said "NO." Evan asked if people wanted him to do an "airdrop" of coins so that everybody would be on a level playing field. They said "NO."

I really think too many people are looking at this through the lens of hindsight. Today, Dash is worth $2.25, so clearly if somebody had the chance to mine 500k at launch then they would have done so. At the time, Dash was worth nothing. A few days after launch, people were paying 1 BTC for 20k Xcoin. The bitcoin bubble was (slowly) deflating. None of the altcoins that launched that month went on to stratospheric success, so there was no reason to expect that Xcoin would either.

It just seems like a whole lot of work based on a tiny chance that Xcoin would eventually become valuable.

Did Evan really say, in his mind: "I think I'll deliberately screw up the emission rate early on, then I'll spin up a bunch of AWS instances to mine my coin, then I'll fix the emission rate and hope that the coin eventually becomes worth something so that I could sell at a profit. Then I think I'll hang around for the next 18 months, working on the coin full time, so that I can go to some conferences and shit."

Likely? Do you think he's been mining alone for 8 hours? Of course not but I'm sure he got shitton of coins. Good.

"Changing mind". Miners agreed with that it seems.

No.
You think that I think that nobody knows.

Shorting something is good when you believe there is a bubble in the price which I don't think is the case here. Monero's price is just about where it's supposed to be.

Volume exceed $11 million during that time period.* You're telling me he couldn't have unloaded enough into that kind of high-volume market?

Evan just spoke at his first conference last month. Why would you stick with a project for 18 months just so you could go talk at some conferences?

Your arguments are getting weaker and weaker.

All this are speculations, Nobody else than core dev's team know the exact architecture of Evolution.
Just be patient, maybe in the labitconf in Mexico we'll know a little more, maybe only in the Miami conference.

Your "proof" seems circumstantial speculation.



For example this one, why are you still presenting this "recent investigations" result even though it has been refuted multiple times? That "investigation" does not show what you claim it does.
