Which argument has been lost?
LoL.
The argument that "Dash is a scam".
here have another read... denying a scam whilst being a known benefactor of that said scam and being full furnished with the facts proving it is a scam does make you a known scammer tok. I hope you realise that. The best you can do is acknowledge it is a scam and argue that the fact it is a scam is not an issue to some people. That is your best route. There is no other I can see for a known dash holder protecting his masternode investment. You've been here too long to make out you have no knowledge of the facts presented below. Therefore unless you want to be known as a scammer like qwizze and evans you can not continue to deny the facts and observable events that are there for all to study.
Let's take a look at the first 5 h of Darkcoin (XCoin at that time)...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4589219Edufield said (after failed launch) that he will wait the next day to launch DRK (XCoin at that time) it is 11 pm.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4591407 Edufield disregard windows wallet and daemon and hurry up his launch, presumably to not have windows miners on board.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4592827Edufield say he added four nodes for the launch at 4 am (5 hours later, despite his promise to wait). The 4 nodes from Edufield are 3 amazons AWS + another unknown (whois IP). Launch started at 3h54 am.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4593601 Edufield said the github version was not updated, nobody could compile and only Edufield was able to mine until that time. It is 5.09 am and Edufield instamined alone 1153 block at 500 DRK + 60 block at reward 277 = 593120 DRK for him alone in about 1 hour.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4593987 No windows wallet confirmed at 5h47 am, despite a user attempt to make one avaiable, that Edufield dismissed quickly.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4594096 Illodin, understand dev has instamined alot of coin.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4595573 From this list of nodes, at 8h34 am (4h40 after launch) there were 50 Amazon AWS node and 50 microsoft cloud computing instamining DRK (checked using IP whois service). This is 100/124 nodes using cloud computing to instamine DRK. We are at block 2870 and block reward is 500. From block 1153-1729 block reward is 277. After that it is 500 again hence 2294 block at 500 + 576 at 277 = 1306552 DRK (worth about 13M$ now) were instamined in less than 5 hour by Edufield and coworkers using about 100 cloud mining instances. Edufield himself instamined in not even 5 h from 600K to 1169K DRK ((1306K-600K)*100/124 + 600K) depending how many of the 100 cloud mining instance were its own. All this while having purposefully set the difficult ridiculously low and block reward 100 times what it is now.
SCAM = unfair and dishonest scheme = dash
This latest defence is so strange. Where are the victims ? what are you talking about it is there in black and white.
1. everyone who was told it was a fair launch LIKE ALL THE OTHER LAUNCHES AT THE TIME. - then prevented from mining fairly = scammed
2. everyone who was told there would be much more opportunity to mine ( then that got slashed by 75%) - prevented from mining the coins that were then taken away = scammed.
here are your victims.
3. everyone buying now thinking dash can go somewhere not knowing the scam it is will forever hold it back = being scammed.
Every dasher on here trying to scam others into supporting your scam = scammers.
I will be updating my scammers thread to add all of your names to it.
Denying a scam after it is proven time and time again to you in black and white = scam enabler and defender = scammer.
Threads examining the evidence of the captive instamine and reduction of the minting to magnify such instamining ...PROOF OF SCAM
