[ANN] [DASH] Dash | First anonymous coin | 50% mined first day by insidersAnd don't claim the coins have been "redistributed by the market" when there is no possible way you can prove that, or that it was an "accident" when actions on that day, and contemporaneous statements by those involved such as illodin suggest otherwise.
