Anyway let's work on that disclosure statement, since I think it may discourage redundant or even inaccurate posts on the Dash thread. That's something we can all get behind, correct?
How about this:

public service announcement
Dash (formerly xcoin and darkcoin) had a significant fastmine over the first 48 hours of its existence (~2 million coins). These facts should not be glossed over by those seeking a fairly launched coin, so until the prominent information about the coins (such as OP, thread topic header, web site home page, etc.) conspicuously discloses these facts, this warning may be posted no more than every 24 hours on the BCT dash thread. This warning should not be posted if the prominent information about the coin (as described above) reflects these facts. For those seeking more information Monero Developer Smooth has created a thread with the pertinent on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=999886.0

Sorry Smooth, there's some real devs who just did a release that I need to go and deploy, then I have plans for the evening. https://dashtalk.org/threads/v12-release.5888/
Wondering about your own communities, what have you released recently?
AEON - Aug. 7th, 2015: 0.9.1.1 - not bad
XMR - Dec. 8th, 2014: v0.8.8.6
I will acknowledge and agree that the release cycle on Monero has been disappointing but there really is some excellent and even accelerating development in the github tree that is still being tested and refined (and indeed used by some folks who are on the more adventurous/self-sufficent side).
Hopefully this is something we can improve in the future (faster release cycles).

I guess developing AEON now is more attractive, seeing as it's only 2% of Monero market cap, has the same codebase / features, and hardly anyone in the Monero community knows you are there building it up yet with 2.5% of supply to spend if it ever gains in value.
It doesn't really have the same features. It is diverging somewhat. Both have features that the other lacks, though there may be some reconvergence later as code is merged up- and down-stream. That has always been my plan (and disclosed as such). There are also advantages in agility in freedom from a smaller team but also the obvious disadvantage of many fewer people to work on it. It is not clear how that is going to work out.
Anyway, congratulations on the Dash release. Whatever my issues with Dash, I acknowledge that a lot of work went into that and getting it to a full release is a real accomplishment.

Well you sound quite ethical and professional when you talk like that, i'm kind of shocked, never heard that before. Thanks though.
