I'll start of by saying that I am neither a dev nor a core-team member. Perhaps my "role" is better described as contributor.
Anyway, like I stated upthread at least one person missed the launch due to Evan Duffield launching earlier than he said he would. That should be considered as someone (in)directly being "ripped off" in my opinion (or scammed). Furthermore, for every poster there might be 10-20 readers who experienced the same thing. He also confirms that he'll try again next week. That probably resulted in some people getting caught off guard regarding the launch. In addition, there were no Windows binaries available, which arguably represents a great part of users. However, he was apparently willing to throw 5k DASH at it. See
I think at this point it is obvious to pretty much everyone apart from Monero shills and megalomaniac and paranoid sociopathic trolls like TBTB that you guys are blowing things way out of proportion here. I discovered DRK in april 2014, read through the whole ANN and researched the "instamine", accepted it has a honest mistake and the community seemed to be as fine with it as it is now. No one gave a fuck. No "victims" whatsoever around, no legal procedures, no courts, no police, nothing (unlike with many others on that list!!!). I actually found out about XMR later through you guys who kept trolling the DASH thread. Looked at it, it`s cool, without any doubt and I have some and I wish XMR all the best, but as an impartial investor looking at the competing DEV/contributor teams, all I have to say is that compared to Evan, fernando, minotaur, OTOH and all the other prominent exponents of DASH, you guys are a bunch of libelous nasty trolls who prefer to smear a (yet?) more successfull competitor. I hardly ever read anything about that unfair mining optimization thing you guys did, thanks AlexGR for reminding me of that, but I know about it and it is FAR WORSE than anything Evan is accused of, yet you don`t see DASH trolls whining about it and FUDing your thread.
To me the "instamine" case is closed, but you guys keep tarnishing the goodwill of your own XMR coin with your attitude.
Oh, and one of your devs is even a Scammer-hugger:
