On freenode people are talking about cachecoin being official currency to buy scrypt asics. As I want to invest in asics soon enough I wonder if this are only rumours or this is official? Any idea? Where can I buy the coins, is there any shop or similar accepting USD or BTC?

Sorry if this question sounds like a total idiot posting, I'm still new to all this.

Supposedly, the above was penned by Kyle Hagan, Evan's business partner for ~10 years. Evan's name is on the original Mt Gox dump circa 2012(?):

Kyle and Evan would've gotten involved in Bitcoin at virtually the same time.

no.

i left because i disagree darkcoin or however it will be called next year is not a decentralized entity. it never was but i ignored it as long as darkcoin was following the same path i was following. the path to total financial privacy. and thats why i am so upset about how this currency is lead by a single person. darkcoin is like an old conservative company with strong hierarchical comamnd structures and a single person on the top of the pyramid. evan duffield. the rebranding using a detergent name was just a step forward in creating something like apple or paypal. fuck this i tell you. what we need is a trustless, decentralized and anonymous currency. darkcoin is not decentralized as it still relies on a single person. and this reaches deep into the code base.

the core devs were just a bunch of volunteers exploited for the big thing. the extended darkcoin team was the same with even a lower place to sit on that pyramid. and what was the darkcoin foundation again? right, something to reserve some rights on some names and collect money. who nominated and voted for the foundation board? who does even know who are these guys? how did we learn about the foundation? from local news papers! the team listings kept counting names of people nobody ever noticed before. and they never committed anything visible to the community or the repository. and i was spending 25 hours a day monitory everything that happened in the darkcoin community for more than a year. the things going on here are fishy, intransparent and rely on a single entity.

i will get out and and will contribute to something decentralized and anonymous. i always hoped darkcoin could fill that void. i cant blame anyone to stay with this project. you are probably investors trying to win a gold donkey. or you are simply trying to exploit every possible vector of profit in the coins space. whatever. you are not here because darkcoin is something it claims to be.

if you disagree with my statement above, i dont care, but answer that simple question: what if evan duffield suddenly announces he quits the project tomorrow morning?

good luck

Wow. Vertoe unmasked as Kyle Hagen is one damn fine plot twist!

Here's more context and proof of the DashHole's bad faith.

First, they threatened Kyle's family when he left. Second, Greg Maxwell confirms Duffield had no interest in technical discussion (only using the BTC core dev's name for Dash marketing).

I understand that this is a personal issue but the tone of the language used by Kyle in IRC made many people in the community including myself upset and angry. Kyle needs to understand that many have invested their time and money in this technology and any threat to this investment will not be taken lightly nor will be ignored.

A person who has a known location, known identity, young children and other responsibilities should act smarter and avoid making unwanted attention by getting drunk and talking shit. That's all I can say publicly about this issue and urge Kyle Hagan be smart about what he does and talks in the future.

Wow, the Evan's Gate cult enforcers act like Scientology when it comes to threatening anyone that dares to leave the compound.

WTF is with a community that threatens young children because they don't like a parent's "tone?"

The FBI should be having a very frank discussion with Evan and that Light creep.

Did you hear just what I said? Please read it again. RATIONAL DISCUSSION

You are a disgrace even for the trolls

I gave you a link to RATIONAL DISCUSSION, in the form of #Bitcoin-wizards analyzing the various factors which make Dash "bad crypto."

That's what you asked for.

Anyway, lurkers are free to read it and decide for themselves: https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-wizards/2014-11-27/?msg=26349785&page=4

Oh look, gmax says Team DashHole was never interested in ACTUAL TECHNICAL DISCUSSION:

they were only interested in paying me so they could attach my name to their project, not in actual technical discussions.

(they'd also used my name all over their stuff intially and I had to threaten to go around bad mouthing them to get it removed.)
