As someone who came in "late" to Darkcoin the past few months, I literally could not care less about all the "instamine" drama everyone whines about. There was obviously plenty of time when people could have bought in by the thousands for dirt cheap and they didn't do it. They're just angry that they blew their chance.
Before I bought Darkcoin I looked into the technology, where it was going, and what some of their ideas for the future were. I looked at the dev team who pumps out a higher number of more innovative and bigger features faster than I've seen any other coin produce. And I looked at the fact that Bitcoin essentially hasn't changed the entire time I've been a proponent of it... That's really what sold me on it. Darkcoin gets stuff done. They have the most innovative ideas, they have the skill set to back it up, and they're not afraid to adapt and change things to make the technology better, even if it makes a few people angry.
The community is also amazing and very active and will help you with any questions you have. Or you can get help from iCEBREAKER... He seems like a pretty reasonable and intelligent source. It looks like he's pretty into bashing religions and things?

Very well said... Like you said, people had months to buy this coin at stupidly low prices when others were dumping to make a quick buck, people with vision bought thousands at that time. Bitcoin is stagnant and hasn't really done much for years, while DASH innovates on a monthly basis and move's its development forward at an astonishing rate.
Because of it's unique structure DASH will be able to absorb new great cryptocurrency developments in the future unlike other coins including Bitcoin.
Over the last year DASH has built a very strong foundation in order to set a very successful future path and that's what people are buying into.
The current price is still very cheap... Remember when Bitcoin coin was this price?
DASH is Better than Bitcoin and there are fewer coins.
Note: InstantX is amazing and it removes the need for merchants to use centralized third parties (coinbase etc) as insurance when accepting digital cash because the insurance is built in via masternodes and at no extra cost to the merchant either :-)
That's funny, because earlier in 2014, I introduced a few friends to the cryptocurrency scene, and after they learned of Darkcoin's/Dash's instamine, they wanted nothing to do with it.
It's also funny that "It's Depatement" made a new account to post that 100% lie, an obvious sockpuppet account.
What can I say... Some people just don't have vision and the imagination to think and see outside the box. It sounds your friends got transfixed with the notion of the so called instamine (undoubtedly you made a strong point in selling that to them) that they couldn't see the true value of the coins fundamentals...
I hope you feel pride in not helping your friends to make the right choice. In fact they could have made a lot of money last year and this if they had only opened their minds and done a little research for them selves instead of relying on you.
Never mind, sheep will be sheep.
What makes the situation even funnier, is that at that time, I had no "dislike" of Darkcoin. I didn't care really, they came here and read up on various cryptocurrencies before calling it quits, I did not influence their actions in any way. Unlike yourself, they(and I) aren't the type of people to pump a coin like Darkcoin with no future to try and sell our bags on unsuspecting newbs. Besides, there were never any fundamentals in Darkcoin/Dash, the very fundamentals such as the block reward, max coin supply, name, and more, has been severely tampered with by Evan since the instamined happened during Darkcoin/Dash's release. Those things are the fundamentals of a cryptocurrency, and your developer has destroyed it. The only thing Dark/Dash has remaining is hype by the pump and dump crowd/groups. Remember XC and it's pump/dump group, Promotheus? Yea.
If a few people who aren't programmers or cryptographers can come in and say, "Yea the dev of this coin really fucked it up for everyone else but himself", then there is something seriously wrong.
