Hello Monero community.
I've refrained from posting about this issue here, but now that I see that this bickering has caused you to lose a major investor, I've got to say my piece.
Granted, I am a Dash investor, but I am one of the more moderate posters in our community. I occasionally tweet about other coin's news, and I pride myself on having an open mind. You will not see me trolling in another coin's forum.
I hope that we can all agree that this type of behaviour is ultimately self-defeating. I have a vested interest, not only in Dash, but also in the greater crypto community. This is the same kind of thing that caused the Dogecoin dev to leave crypto, and quite frankly, makes the whole crypto community look childish at best.
Please, end this now. This has been going on for weeks, and has anyone gained? Dash is losing value slowly, and Monero is plummeting. I think we can all agree that this campaign by a few is not having the desired effect.
Is Dash perfect? Absolutely not. Is Monero perfect? Absolutely not.
Let's respect each other. Just like there is Pepsi and Coke, and Apple and Samsung, there is room for more than one crypto in the future.
Let's use our time going forward to add value to our own cryptos, rather than trying to cut each other down. No one wins that battle, everyone loses.
Maybe then, we will win back lost investors.

Major investor... lol.
Firstly I'm no XMR fanboy. I've made good money off several coins including drk so thanks for those pumps boys. One thing I've learnt is that the true beleivers unfortunately end up as bag holders. Nobody should get too attached to any coin as there is new innovation in this space constantly.
Few points here.
1) Why blank out the amount you have yet show the sale amount unless you've still got more.
2) Not investor, someone who dumps because they don't like the fact that someone else is pointing out the obvious wrong doings of your crypto child is not a real investor.
3) This is crypto, the wildest of the west. Dont come and cry because you don't like what someones saying about your coin. Someone who sees a scam and doesn't say is a scammer themselves. The fact that you lot think that the super fast emission is a non issue are asinine.
Fact is none of these cryptos are likely to succeed long term, hell even btc is going to struggle to make any *real* impact. I'm talking 100's of billions market cap and accepted in most places (bitpay doesn't count) not a few billion.
BTW, having a de-optimized miner that only a few knew about is eons different to mining 2 million coins in the first 48 hours. To make matters worse there were no windows binaries available at the drk launch so only a few people got those coins. Please dont tell me they were all sold for peanuts. I can sit and trade with myself all day.
I mined with the de-optimized miner from just after launch and I know I got more than my fair share of those early coins. The miner was fixed and merged very quickly. The percentages improvements that a few people experienced who knew about the optimized miner meant they had 50% more hash than they would have, but of the total network it was not a large amount.
If you think that optimized miners aren't present for all algo's then you are seriously mistaken. I have x11 miners that are faster than the public ones available now, does that make all x11 algo coins a scam?
