Welcome to my dream..ok..back to topic."what's investment per se got to do with points raised by dnaelor"?
Many people are invested in DASH, contrary to his 'points', and the few people who back his 'points' are invested in a competing coin.
I'm actually invested in BTC and Sia at the moment, and I still think it's valid. He said he was gonna do a lot of shit and DID apparently back down. Dunno if he had explanations for it, though.
Being critical of a coin/dev/community on a technical or ethical basis is fine, especially when it's done in a civilised manner. You would fall in that camp. When it's done ad nauseum, in an aggressive, militant manner, by a group of individuals who are invested in a competing coin - well, the motivation is obvious.
The thing is that he promises a lot and doesn't deliver.
How will Evolution turn out? Stealth development, no public testing, no peer review, nothing.
Will he "change his mind" about certain aspects as well?
Yes, that is the whole point. The development team will change its mind, revise priorities and features and adapt to changing market conditions. That is one of the main strengths.
The scope of the project changed from the early days, Dash is not only building a privacy coin, that is only one aspect, it is building an all around better coin that is easy and practical to use for service developers and end users.
You present ideas that were floated around and decided against as "undelivered promises" that is fine suit yourself.
Dash Evolution started as ideas, then some documenting and basic coding was completed you need to have something to be able to share it. Next week in the LATAM Bitcoin conference, current documentation and basic code will be shared with the community so that we can start gathering feedback and discussing in more detail. And yes, changes will be made and ideas revised if there are new and better ideas that come from the community.
