Thanks.  Although just checked, its only 0.6DRK

Maybe one day I'll have a masternode again.

+1

Many of us had mistakes and damages of all kinds.
Just stand up and do what best you can, fist for your family. Try to make that 1.5 DRK to 3 DRK. You still have all your hands and legs?
Stop fucking gamble. FOREVER.

Just as long as everybody promises to pretend that the price has tanked

You warned me, flare warned me and Otoh warned me.  I had warnings.

Hi All,

I’m making an extremely difficult public statement to hopefully provide a warning to the Dash community.

On Sunday morning I managed to lose all of my Darkcoins on Directbet dice.  The total loss was 28,000DRK and represents all of my holdings.  My mistake was simple…make a big loss and then lose track desperately trying to win it back.  I have made enquiries with various parties about buying back in but unfortunately I do not have enough FIAT to do so.

This happened incredibly easily.  I am a man who has never gambled before being involved in crypto althouh I have done consultancy work for gambling companies in the past.  I was a regular better on Directbet and almost always ended up breaking even or finishing up on the day.  On Sunday, circumstances, bad decisions and maths caught up with me.

With regard to Directbet I believe their dice game is provably fair in terms of probablity and maths however I have some concerns at how their site was functioning under a DDOS attack at the time.  

When I asked Directbet some simple questions about my losses their answers have been at times  contradictory and not aligned with my experiences which I find to be quite troubling.  Directbet have also refused to provide me with a contact address so that I can formally ask a list of questions via my solicitor.  Whilst I take full responsibility for my actions I also feel that I may not have made such a huge initial loss if Directbet had suspended betting while their site was under attack and inaccessible.  I was unable to see a visual reference of how much I had won or lost and I believe this contributed to a lack of visibility of my actions and to contributed to me making such a huge initial loss.  Obviously my attempts to win my coins back was my decision alone.

I believe that probably fair is not just about maths, it is also about providing a level playing field for your customers.

Despite the significant financial loss that I have incurred, one of the worst feelings for me is the fact that the thousands of hours I have invested in Darkcoin/Dash will never bare fruit for me.  I take some comfort in the fact that those of you who hold on to your darkcoins might reap some rewards. I do have roughly 1.5DRK left so if you could all work really hard and make that worth $100k I’d be reall grateful

I don’t feel that am able to continue to work on Dash so I asked Evan to remove me from the team website on Monday.  I am also extremely frustrated because most of my business contacts were waiting for a rebranding before they adopted Dash.  When I feel less sore about what has happened I will pull the details of those contacts together and pass them on to Fernando/Minotaur and who knows I might be at peace with myself enough to follow up some leads myself.

Beyond the financial loss I have unforgiveably let my family down and this breaks my heart most of all.

I’ll always be hoping and looking for a way to rebuild my Dash but I expect that the future is too bright for the coin for me to ever afford it.

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security people.  Bet sensibly.  I didn’t and I’m a broken man.

2014 and 2015 have not been kind to me crypto-wise.  In total I have either had stolen or thrown away the equivalent of nearly 50k DRK.  Protect your wallets too!

Much love.

Dan

Hey everyone, I'm part of the community now with my heroic 1 DRK purchase!

Hi All,

I’m making an extremely difficult public statement to hopefully provide a warning to the Dash community.

No you couldn't.

In case you hadn't noticed, this is the Darkcoin thread, not the Monero thread. The implication is that it's forum for discussion amongst those with an active interest in the project, not shills for other ones. I think that's a generally accepted ethic across bitcointalk.

It's not very difficult to tell the difference between an adverse remark from a poster who's a genuine holder concerned about their investment and one from a poster who's got no financial interest whatsoever and who's only agenda is one of malignant disruption.

We talk about coin holders as "the community" because they club together in forums and discuss a common interest. But they are not "the community" in the same sense that Apache web developers are the "the community" or that Linux code controbutors are "the community".

I could likewise say that all the repetitive cheerleading that goes on by self interested parties (holders) is inappropriate and ethically dubious shilling.

Thank you for the heads up as to that possibility. Question: has anyone involved with monero taken any action which would indicate a belief that buying and selling of open source projects without community involvement and buyin is appropriate?

Dan, god damn it man!! thats terrible and I even remember warning you about gambling
It must have took a lot of courage to admit this in a public forum. Am will be so sorry to see you drop off the team, you contribute much and ask little in return.
Can you keep logging on ocassionally and let us you how you are, will miss you if you disappear, the cool factor of the thread and DCT will drop a notch.

In sympathies,
Sub-Ether.

As for non-interested you are right, though. I shall buy 1 DRK shortly to go along with the 6000 dashcoin I hold. Happy now?

I just desperately want to turn back time.  I actually woke up this morning and wasn't sure it was real.  I had to open my wallet to confirm that I am actually living a nightmare.

Hmm, doesn't add up to the 28k, plus wasn't myfarm saying he dumped some as well?

On Sunday morning I managed to lose all of my Darkcoins...
