DASH is the new name of darkcoin.
An altcoin can only be successful when there are someone developing it. The devs deserve their coin to maintain interest in developing the coin. Why would anyone work for a coin if there are no reward?
Two problems with this logic:
1. Reward doesn't always mean profit. A dev (or devs) could just as easily be motivated by a problem (like creating a viable e-cash) and therefore look at profit as result of the problem being solved, but profit never being the real motive. It's kind of like sex in this regard. If you marry a women just to have sex with her, the marriage is bound to stagnate and become toxic; whereas if you marry for love and want to build a committed relationship, the sex is a byproduct of a healthy relationship, but never the intended goal.
2. It's not that it was instamined, it's that it was launched surreptitiously (see my first post), that it was covered up in a lie or was an accident that was never turned into a re-launch to avoid the hint of a scam launch--either you own the instamine (500k in first hour) or you fix it, but don't give me some story that doesn't match your actions; I'm not stupid enough fall for this type of spin, and neither should anyone else.
Now back to the marriage analogy, how many successful marriages do you know that start with a lie? I know of 0, so I would trade this coin with a short term plan (date, don't marry), or find a coin you can trust and set down for nice long, happy and equally beneficial relationship.
