I see your point smooth, so DASH is the only crypto on the list to "find" unaccounted for shares post IPO and keep them instead of burning them?

I have no idea

If that is the case, then this type of behavior is truly scam worthy.

If others did do it, that makes it not a scam?

A "scam" is a lie or misreprentation. A prime example of which is:

"Paycoins can be redeemed for $10 each"

which of course is a false statement

Yes that is form of "scam", and that is one example of a lie or misrepresentation. Other examples would be stating that the coin will "definitely not" be launched in a few hours (and then ambush launching it, with millions of extra coins distributed "by accident" almost immediately), or claiming to be working on it as a "hobby" when you have simultaneously been recruiting behind the scenes to launch a coin as a "for-profit startup".

It takes stupidity to a whole new level for a Dash supporter to create a poll like this not realizing that Dash is one of the most infamous instamine scams and will surely be highly voted as such (even if I don't agree it is the "biggest" or "worst" scam necessarily).

Thanks again smooth, I'm new to crypto, and trying to cut through all the scam accusations, and have narrowed my initial scope to the best of breed top 10 on coinmarketcap, and can agree with you that a court would find Evan guilty for lying to the public if this was an SEC case.

The one question I have for you is this:

Since this information came to light, then it should be "priced in" as they say on Wall Street. Meaning that, as long as it is physically impossible for Evan to magically find some new coins, then the market has accepted what Evan did, and it reflects in the current price.

However, if it is indeed possible for Evan to sell shares on the open market "naked" (that either don't exist, or are instantly added to the blockchain in the future without anyone knowing about this possibility beforehand), then there could come a point in the future where Evan could indeed crash the share price simply by "finding" some new shares or selling some shares on the open market that nobody knew he had access to.

From what I understand, DASH has anonymity features that may make knowing this potential for future scam impossible?

Sorry for the long winded reply, but I guess, that is 2 questions.

To summarize:

If it is impossible for Evan to steal (scam) shares in the future (like he essentially did in the past), then there can be no future scams, and this stock is accurately priced by the free market, however, if there is indeed a chance that Evan could steal shares again in the future, then, this coin has true potential for further scamming, and I wouldn't touch it with Hillary's dick.

thanks in advance

All I know about DASH is what this smoking hot chick named Amanda said about it being a hybrid between a hashocracy and a meritocracy:

So I am now wondering if I scratch DASH off my list, then what other coins follow a similar "hybrid" model like the one Amanda describes in her weekly column?
