1) Dash's developers were able to mine a portion of the coins unhindered as the linux wallet they posted on BCT wasn't working
You sure it wasn't working? Because I remember compiling it and mining just fine.
For a period of time the public miner wasn't working, so the developer was the only one able to mine naturally. Look at the main thread. Also I'd have to take your statements with a grain of salt, until you provide any evidence to back them up.
Yea I tried to look at the thread, and couldn't find the period of time you're talking about. Link plz.
Right here:
update doesn't compile:
init.cpp:745:15: error: operator '!' has no right operand
Hmmm, I didn't update that part of the code. Although, I just updated again so try:
git reset --hard HEAD
git pull origin master-0.8
make clean
make
Code wasn't updated, no one could compile besides mr Evan Duffield himself of course.
Also, can you show me evidence that you mined back then? Otherwise I'd have to assume that you're lying.
Conveniently you didn't quote the next post where the guy admits it was his own fault he couldn't get it to compile:
Yeah, my bad, I botched the layover of the makefile on the update. Oh well still no blocks, must be in a bad location... Gave me something to do before bedtime...
Notice how this was said by Evan Duffield:
"Hmmm, I didn't update that part of the code. Although, I just updated again so try:" Furthermore he says
"Oh well still no blocks", and
"I botched the layover of the makefile on the update" comes after Evan's
"I didn't update that part of the code. Although, I just updated again so try". That can be in direct response to Evan Duffield newly updating the code and having nothing to do on the user's part of not being able to compile and mine.
Also, I'm still waiting on you to show proof of you mining back then, it's convenient that you keep dodging providing any more information concerning that.
Don't try and bullshit me.
