For real?? I had bookmarked that paper for a read, but after your quote i'm not sure if i should read it ...
What kind of paper is this if they can't even get the name of DASH right ...
Such a sloppy research on DASH that they even can't get the name right is just so amateurish ...
I'll notify the author to adjust it. Agree it is a bit sloppy, but he isn't the only one who got it wrong.
Maybe it's not sloppy, but a dig at Dash's snake oil and your cargo cult's bad 'bamboo version' of crypto.
Regardless, it's a good example of why stealing the Dash-coin name for Darkcoin's rebrand was a bad idea.
