DASH: Young Cryptocurrency With An Interesting StoryDespite its youth, the DASH cryptocurrency has a history full of events. The project was launched on January 18, 2014 as XCoin. Considerable interest in this new currency arose from the start and this was caused because mining of XCoins was possible even with the graphic processors of videocards while mining of Litecoin and Bitcoin on CPU and GPU stopped being the profitable a long ago...

I understand that there are members here bitter that the owner/developer of dashcoin sold the right to the name to the DASH community. If dashcoin was/is a viable stand alone coin, even thought the original developer didn't think so, why not rebrand to something the the new community and new owners/developers are excited about. There would always be the arielbits of the world out there that would bang their chest and cry fowl...but I'm thinking if there is something new and happening here why not rebrand? Unless of course there is something to be said on riding the popularity of DASH. And that is a viable strategy too...and has its own merits. Just a discussion, and not trolling or trying to stir anything, but facilitating a conversation. I hold this coin too...
1) Let me put it this way.... "We were here first".
2) An open source decentralized blockchain can not be sold or bought, Dashcoin has proven this. as far as I know, only a domain name and some log on info was sold/bought. IF Dashcoin was "bought", why isn't it being fazed out? killed off? Put an end to? Rebraned? looks to me that nothing of relevance was bought. To me the Dashcoin dev came up by selling "thin air". I am sure both the seller and the buyer new this, the fact that the coin belongs to the community, period. The only way Dashcoin can be "killed off" is for the last person to stop mining it and I don't see that happening anytime soon
3)Your motivation to do defend darkcoin and lurk in Dashcoin seems to be strictly financial (nothing wrong with that), where arielbits, I am sure also has financial motives, but his actions have proven that he is also man of principle, standing up for the "small guy", pointing out the elephant in the room, motivated by the fact that he has the "right" on his side.
So yeah, "Dark, DASH, XCOIN" should just rebrand again, its not like it'll be the first, second or third time, I am sure they are used to it already
.
Maybe they should rename to Bitcoin next, they can claim they bought
www.Bitcoin.abc* so they can rightfully use it.
