You dont know what a premine is. Satoshi did not premine Bitcoin, he did not mess or change Bitcoins parameters in any way, shape, or form after its release. He even said that once Bitcoin was released, its basic functions would stay in place its entire lifetime. That's how cryptocurrencies are supposed to be.
What evan did was;
1) Released Darkcoin/Dash
2) Put the block reward at 500 coins per block
3) Make it only available to the extremely small pool of linux users(So his buddies and himself could get the majority of coins)
4) Instamine darkcoin with a few of his buddies
5) Cut Darkcoin's block rewards over 50% from 500 to under 100
6) Cut Darkcoin's max coin supply by 50%
7) End the instamine within 40 hours and go on his merry way
What makes that even worse, was that he made the masternodes as a way to continue enriching himself, so he could gain even more $ from the coins he instamined. Within 40 hours over 2million Darkcoins were mined by Evan and a few others at darkcoins/DASH's release.
If this isnt a scam, then I dont know what is.
1. Yes, DASH/DRK/Xcoin was indeed released
2. Evan was trying out a new algorithm for payments, it turned out 2 days later, when a blockchain explorer was made, that there was a problem and the reward was too high.
3. If you can't figure out mining with Linux, you're not a miner. I was as green as it gets, and I got it down in 2 days. Sure I missed out on all the coins flooding out, but I figured it out in the end and almost earned 2 masternodes. If I had known about renting VPSs I could have made more, but I'm proud I figured out as much as I did as fast as I did at my age
4. I've seen no evidence that Evan knew anyone except InternetApe, and IA has left us, dumping all his coins, so his holdings, along with everyone else who mind up a ton of coins, have been shown to have been cashed out. Current big holders have bought all their coins on exchanges, not mined them.
5. The algorithm was corrected.
6. The cutting of the max supply, via cutting rewards 7% per year was voted upon. It had no effect for the first year, and this year, the rewards have dropped by 7%. So in reality, this is a long term change over the next 100 years.
7. "went on his merry way" Oh yah, he didn't continue to improve and innovate and create the most amazing coin out there, plus dedicate a minimum of 2 years of his full time work to the coin. No, he went on his "Merry way" LOL, you're butt hurt aren't you?
Masternode invention is THE biggest thing to hit Cryptos. Their usefulness increases daily. Your last comment? No you haven't got a clue as to what a scam is. Back on ignore with you
Have a nice day
1) Ok
2) Ok, so you admit he's incompetant or scamming. It's either one
3) Less than 2% of anyone that uses a computer has Linux, so that's an extremely stupid comment
4) Absolute lie, most of the big holders have split their coins into smaller addresses, they have by no means, cashed out
5) It was corrected after the instamine, coincidence?
6) What? If you don't know Darkcoin/DASH's history, don't comment please. The max coin supply was drastically cut from 84million coins to 21milion coins. That's close to 80% cut in the supply and has nothing to do with "long term change", since it was done instantly.
7) Read what I said right below that, he created masternodes to continue enriching himself after the instamine finished
Masternods are extremely simple. Bitcoin had "incentives" for nodes, thought they were a 3rd party, since its beginning. It chose not to add the "masternode" because it encourages centralization, more vectors of attack, and is financially, a very stupid idea for a currency.
