Any chance you could link the post? Or do you happen to remember who it was made by so I can find it a little easier? It would be great if everyone could just link to it in the case of future trolling on this topic. That and the FAQ. Thanks.
It won't help (much). These trolls and professional FUD spreaders will (and are already doing this, Litecoin-Forum is full of it) tell you the devs sold the coins to themselves.
I don't get why devs having their own coin should be demonized. They didn't premine it. And when you make a coin, it's intrinsically
a worthless coin until you, as a dev, give it value. Unless you do that, you are generating 0 and 1's that nobody wants to pay for, as there are tons of shitcoins.
There's too much fud regarding dev's holdings. There is both "uncertainty" and "doubt" because you can't prove a negative (that you don't have something). But claiming stuff like 2mn is self-defeating even for trolls.
Devs should have something like 100-200k in early february, the equivalent of 2x-4x of what "large" buyers bought back then at batches of 50k for a few BTCs. What happened next, I've no idea. Some could have been sold at the ccex spike of 0.008 (if they had sell orders), some could have been sold at 0.0012-0.002 the next two months, some could have been bought at 0.0011-0.0012 or sold at 0.003+ to 0.028... who knows.
Invested dev = good for the community as the quality of the coin affects his pocket as well. And he is not some sketchy dude hiding behind a "shitcoin" nickname. That's a huge plus.
If you're wondering if you should be buying, this lot have been buying shit loads of DRK with shit loads of money, at prices that are much, much, much higher than when the coins were worth pennies.
Some people will sell and then cry for DRK's unfair distribution at the top and that masternodes are for the filthy rich. A month ago a masternode cost 1.2 BTC... everyone was warned by Evan, when discussing the 1000 DRK requirement and if it'll change in the future, where he analyzed the mechanism of the price feedback loop, that it'll become expensive and more expensive until it reaches insanely expensive...
since darktrolls wont let monero thread in peace, time to remember whats really in your hands:
Wow, we have a Quark PoW/PoS clone with 5 hashes, instead of a PoW X11 coin. LOL.
