I am a bit skeptical of Dash, but I've been wrong before and I could be wrong about Dash. So, I have a question.
IIUC when Darkcoin/Dash was first released Evan Duffield told people that mining would start at a certain time. However (and again this is my understanding and I could be wrong), Evan then went and issued it early with the result that miners who had believed it would be released as he had said missed the early mining stage when many (?) coins were released/mined.
Is this correct, or have I been misled?
If it is correct , did Evan Duffield ever explain why, the release time was moved?

You have been misled
I don't think so.

Please provide a specific quote from that post where Evan explained why the launch happened within hours after Evan promised not to launch it within minutes/hours, and clearly caused at least one person (but more likely many) to miss the launch by several hours during which time a million or more coins were already mined.
Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".
Time to go to bed and try again next week?
Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone!
Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks.
Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.
Launch is being moved to 11PM EST!
... seriously?
Just woke up to this
How many hours have I lost? Oh, well. Time to git pull and launch it again.
