Anyone who took Evan at his word and believed he would wait to (instead of ninja-ambush) launch the insta-mine "missed that boat."

If you really want Dash to succeed or fail based on technical merit instead of instamine shame, you'd support a relaunch.

Not sure what you mean by "more alive than ever."

There is still no (publicly available) optimized miner.  Small wonder >50% of the hashrate is at one pool, given that fact.

vertoe and that other dev are long gone, and never coming back.

The goal of implementing ring signatures is dead, buried, and forgotten.  Ditto for masternode blinding and I2P.

The price, after a brief spike of rebrand hype, has been falling ever since the day Darkcoin officially became Dash.

It's a classic pump and dump.  Anyone not brainwashed by the cult can see it.

Here, I'll draw a picture to help deprogram you.
