Gratuitous scam defending

Dash was the first coin that was attractive enough for me to become involved with to the extent that I stopped simply being a reader of BCT and actually created an account. Before that, I was simply a reader an investor. I have invested in other coins that I thought were innovative at the time like BlackCoin and PeerCoin (which thankfully I got out at a decent price). Call me a SHILL and keep convincing yourself that you're doing your own coin a favor, but I'm telling you, FUD only has so much shelf life before actually delivering something becomes more important. At this point, I'm sure that all the value your coin will ever get from trolling this thread has played out and now you're not only wasting your time, but you've damaged your own coin irreparably. I strongly advise you to regroup and think of another strategy. If you want mass adoption, it isn't going to come from stealing a few potential investors from Dash. If Dash eventually reaches mass adoption, this thread won't matter anymore anyway.

I've had my account a long time now, only post occasionally and sometimes not for a long spell. I pretty much 90% of the time read this thread on BTC over the others. That doesn't make my viewpoints any less relevant that I only post here. Keep turning off people like me... the rich guy with deep pockets that plops down real money into these projects. See where it gets you. Maybe if you troll hard enough, an actual usable wallet will magically appear for your own coin!

You could have had a major investor with me, but that ship has sailed. I wonder how many others there are like me that mostly read but don't post often that think the same way I do. I suspect it's more than a handful. It's time, Adam. Time for you and your ragtag group of full-time trolls to reconsider the negative impact you are having on Monero. Sophisticated investors - the ones that have the potential to make or break a project - do extensive research anyway. In the end, practical solutions win. Innovation wins. Trolling has only gotten you so far... nowhere. Again, if you spent 1/10th the time devoloping ideas for Monero and helping with the development as you spent here, you would be much better off.

You keep pointing out the high emission rate as though it is bad for new investors. It is a good thing from an investor standpoint. There are only two effects that the high number of coins emitted does, and both of them are a GOOD thing for investors that bring money to the table.
1) It devalues the market cap across a larger number of coins (which has no effect on market cap, but does decrease the value of each coin that was emitted... if half as many had been emitted, they each would have been twice as expensive per coin); thus, with a higher number of coins as the base, the inflationary effects of the new coins being created each year is lower than it would otherwise be... A LOWER RATE OF INFLATIONARY PRESSURE IS GOOD FOR INVESTORS
2) It provided the core developer with a significant share / value of coins, which provided him with enough incentive to devote himself full-time to the project (a happy accident)

I am thankful for the high emission rate the first 24 hours... if fact, I wouldn't be an investor in Dash without it. Dash is only 1.5 years old, yet it has an inflation rate many times lower than Bitcoin did at the same age. I think 200% for Bitcoin in year 2 vs. 20% for Dash. This protects my investment and the investment of anyone purchasing for the first time.
