Unlike some here, I respect Evan for his tireless dedication to the project. He has demonstrated immense capability and potential in developing software, knowledge in a lot of aspects pertaining to finance, a reserved repentance to the instamine, a tireless passion for the "community" he created even after the initial chaos and misfortunes, but MOST importantly a sense of pride in the face of consistent attacks over the practicality and technicality of the main aspects of the coin he wanted to bring to everyone.
The biggest mistake however was not the fastmine/instamine but to yield to the pressure of whales (everyone knows their names and it is not just otoh), in breaking the social contract with respect to emission a LONG time after the mistakes during launch. This should NOT have been done under any circumstances. I will not trust Evan to make any more social contract changes (he is going to, until the coin completely dies). Even his cohort during the initial launch, who was subsequently asked to sever ties with the project, was surprised he has carried on for so long.
He fought well, there is no doubt about this. He silenced a lot of trolls, scumbags, thieves, PumpNDumpers and malicious crypto faggots. He is not a malicious person, but his problem is of being too malleable and perhaps some greed.
This is no longer a coin that should see any kind of "investment" or money coming in to support it. It is time to move to science, cryptography and community.
Good points.
After the instamine and rebranding fiascos, nobody should trust Evan or THE DARKCOIN FOUNDATION INC any farther than we can throw them.
The social contract obviously means nothing to them, and they will eventually kill Dash with their repeated violations of it.
Luckily Otoh will eventually run out of BTC with which to prop up the price of Dash. Then the real fun begins... (evil grin).
