3. Did Evan and Otoh sell their shares? Give me proof of that and I'll take it back. Of course if either, or both, are selling it might explain why your buy support is dropping.
Otoh has stated that he has bought his coins from the markets, I don't think he is even a miner. If you want to call him a liar go ahead if
you don't trust a man's word.
I don't trust anyone involved in DASH. The Bitcoin Devs I trust, the Monero Devs I trust, Anonymint I trust. I may not always agree with them, but I trust that their opinions are honest and the information they provide is thorough.
Anyone who knows that developers mined 2 million coins in eight hours, but claim a fair launch, doesn't deserve my trust. If they wanted it, they'd pick better associates.
1. Has Otoh claimed a fair launch? I can't recall seeing that. Also, how could he know 2 million coins were mined by Evan and InternetApe in 8 hours if the total coins mined in that time period was 1.5 million, and there were other people mining as well?
Evan and InternetApe were the dev team when the coin launched. InternetApe dumped his coins when he left a year ago or something and he had the same opportunity to instamine as Evan. That fact alone reduces Evan's theoretical alleged instamine by 50%.
I don't know how many coins Internetape instamined, but do you have any proof that it was 50% of the coins instamined?
2. I don't have proof, but since this started by you making a claim that "majority of masternodes are held by those very instaminers" without any proof, I think I can provide the most likely case that they both mined similar amounts.
1. Re-read what I wrote, "Anyone who knows..." Are you telling me Otoh didn't know that the initial mining was absurdly fast and that Evan claimed it was an accident in order to technically not have a premine? Either he is a poor man's whale who doesn't know the gory details of what he's investing in or he is someone who uses his money to back sham launched coins--either way i'm not trusting that guy based on his word.
2. The most likely case is that the scam artist are continuing to scam. But thanks for correcting me on 2 million; I'm sure you sleep better at night knowing it was only 1.5 million coins Evan and crew mined in eight hours. It's been so long since I've had to deal with a dasher that I forgot a few of the details. Thankfully there's a thread dedicated to the facts.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-the-darkcoindashdashpay-instamine-matters-9998861. I don't know what you're asking me to re-read, probably a language barrier as I was never very good in English. What I understood was you're saying you don't trust Otoh's word because he knows Evan and InternetApe mined 2 million coins in 8 hours, and that he claims it was a fair launch. If you meant something else, could you say it unambiguously, thanks.
2. If you don't accept my proposition for the most likely distribution between the dev team being that Evan and InternetApe mined similar amounts, then what do you think is more plausible and why? 40-60? 80-20?
And yes, that's the thread where I had to go check the numbers myself, I would've thought you would've memorized them by now.
1. At least one person understood what I wrote, so I think the fault lies in your cognitive dissonance when it comes to the reality of Dash's instamine and the BS that is Evan. Accident, please. He's either a fool or a liar. And Otoh is either a fool or practicing greater fool strategy. So yes, I don't take either at their word. I think I made that point clear.
2. I'm not going to try and discern how much Evan personally mined; all I need to know is that he was misleading others as to the launch time, was mining before anyone else had a chance--500,000 coins were mined in the first hour (check that), was offering to buy more coins, cut the distribution to benefit him and the early instaminers, changed the name twice to most likely escape the taint of his instamine, loaded a bunch of algos onto one coin which any cryptographer worth a damn will tell you is piss-poor design and created a shabby way to mix coins that just so happens to reign in more profits for those holding the most coins, which unless you are going to naively niggle over what is 100% verifiable, is most likely him and a few instaminers. You can play dumb with your money. I won't.
In short,
Buyer beware.
