It was instamined, which means instead of being mined by the devs before the project is released it was mined right after by the devs before other's joined in. The difference is only a technicality.
Not that it makes DASH scam, but you can't hide the fact it happened.
It was not mined just by the devs right after release, it was mined by many other miners as well.
The difference between a intentional and pre-announced premine and an accidental instamine is much more then just a technicality, they form different categories.
Nobody is hiding the fact that the instamine happened, not sure why you felt the need to say that.. it is public knowledge in Dash forums since 2014 and I pointed to Dash instamine history in my previous post (same link as UdjinM6 also provided)
People should really avoid using words like premine with regards to Dash, when they don't really understand it's definition.
To those people intend on pressing Dash in the premine corner anyways : it's not working anymore, try something else.
As I understand that facts are these. It wasn't premined or instamined. (Whatever instamined is actually meant to mean). The term 'fast mined' is more accurate. The emmission was too fast in the beginning due to bug in the code. And Evan jumped the gun with the commencement of the project. Also there wasn't a windows binary for mining (boo hoo, who as a serious crypto hacker uses windoze anyway?). You can argue that Evan intentionally jumped the gun and / or intentionally left a fastmine bug in the code. This is where the scam meme originates. You can equally well give benefit of doubt that they were unintentional.
Regardless of the MOTIVE you need to also consider it is a fact that no-one at that time knew what Dash would grow into, not Evan or anyone else. The coins of that time had very little value for a reason. There has been ample time for early beneficiaries of the fast mine to sell on open market. It is my opinion that there is no fair way to distribute any coin. And the Dash way, flaws and all is much better than most.
but evan knows something that he intentionally hide/suppress regarding masternodes..
DASH Masternodes - the perfect motive for the instamine
it was first mined by people who can compile the miner code on linux. and people who could not compile the miner on linux had to wait for the compiled windows binary.
and use amazon's humongous computing power to premine/instamine/fastmine the living shit out of this coin like this guy and his friends here
