From his posts it is clear that he is very passionate but also extremely knowledgeable. I appreciate interacting with you, blockafett, but you have a lot of posts that are critical and insulting to the point of rudeness, so I think your approach is very opposite to his.

I'm glad you indicated it is just your opinion, as I am inclined to listen to someone who is actually doing something productive, and it takes two minutes to confirm that he has contributed to Monero development. I wish I could verify your contributions to the Dash codebase.

I must go as I am going out for the evening but the last thing I want to say is that I don't think the argument anyone should be making is that Darkcoin is vulnerable to theft. That is not the problem. If I just wanted protection from theft I would use Bitcoin, but I want something with absolute fungibility. I thought Dash was that, but now that my eyes have been opened and I am able to perceive the situation more rationally I am not convinced that Dash is well designed (otherwise gmaxwell and andytoshi would have said so).

I am not going to be running to Monero right now, but I will look in on it again in 6 months. My time with Dash is unfortunately over, and now I must Dash out the thread and Dash into the shower. Au revoir!
