For many months, vertoe poured his heart and soul into Darkcoin. THE DARKCOIN FOUNDATION, INC. returned his effort and devotion by shafting him with a ninja-rebrand. Vertoe is entitled to respond to that exploitation in the manner of his choosing. He isn't TDFI's punching bag. He's allowed to hit back.

Unlike the rest of you cultist losers, vertoe has the self-respect and integrity to stand up to exploitation by TDFI's dictatorial leadership.

Vertoe saw "fishy" things going on, and he said something about it. Good for him.

Of course he is now being attacked by his former cult.

Cultists hate apostates with the fury of a dozen supernovas. Nonbelievers they can handle, as they are a source of fresh new blood. But VIP defections must be discouraged by any means necessary, as they set for the remaining True Believers an absolutely unacceptable example.

Attacking vertoe for being anonymous is a real stretch. The cult didn't have a problem with it before, but now they suddenly do? Nice hypocrisy.

You know who else besides vertoe is "hidden behind an anonymous internet nickname." Satoshi.

You know who else besides Duffield "is public?" Josh Garza.

Duffield is surrounded by very smart people. Dash the technology is anonymous and decentralized! Enough said! Whoever brings up Vertoe again is obviously trolling. Dash is the future! All you need to know.

If you care to check, you will find it was toknormal who brought up Vertoe in a post so insulting he was compelled to respond:

So yes there is ideology behind this coin : privacy, liberty, freedom, try to make the world less directed by "power" and more with the heart...

I hope that changing the name will not make the ideology behind it change too, otherwhise it will failed.

There's no ideology in something that nobody uses. The ideology's in the design, not the name. Vertoe is justified in leaving over not being consulted but less so over 'ideology'.

It's not a rock song that's being built here it's electronic money.

The name can easily be compromised without any loss of principle but the functionality can't. So Evan has got his priorities right in that regard.

no.

i left because i disagree darkcoin or however it will be called next year is not a decentralized entity. it never was but i ignored it as long as darkcoin was following the same path i was following. the path to total financial privacy. and thats why i am so upset about how this currency is lead by a single person. darkcoin is like an old conservative company with strong hierarchical comamnd structures and a single person on the top of the pyramid. evan duffield. the rebranding using a detergent name was just a step forward in creating something like apple or paypal. fuck this i tell you. what we need is a trustless, decentralized and anonymous currency. darkcoin is not decentralized as it still relies on a single person. and this reaches deep into the code base.

the core devs were just a bunch of volunteers exploited for the big thing. the extended darkcoin team was the same with even a lower place to sit on that pyramid. and what was the darkcoin foundation again? right, something to reserve some rights on some names and collect money. who nominated and voted for the foundation board? who does even know who are these guys? how did we learn about the foundation? from local news papers! the team listings kept counting names of people nobody ever noticed before. and they never committed anything visible to the community or the repository. and i was spending 25 hours a day monitory everything that happened in the darkcoin community for more than a year. the things going on here are fishy, intransparent and rely on a single entity.

i will get out and and will contribute to something decentralized and anonymous. i always hoped darkcoin could fill that void. i cant blame anyone to stay with this project. you are probably investors trying to win a gold donkey. or you are simply trying to exploit every possible vector of profit in the coins space. whatever. you are not here because darkcoin is something it claims to be.

if you disagree with my statement above, i dont care, but answer that simple question: what if evan duffield suddenly announces he quits the project tomorrow morning?

By your own standard, toknormal "is obviously trolling" because he brought up vertoe again. Wink

Let's all thank or blame (depending of your Cultist/Troll status) toknormal for goading vertoe into making that spectacular and legendary "Gold Donkey" post! Cheesy
