dnet and others are out. These are fair(er) versions of dash. Looks for them. More will start to flow out soon I'm sure.

Find the fairer clones and support them. Even dashers should realise a 0.001% stake in dash can buy you a 01% stake in the clones. Far better chance of big returns.
Do they have a world-class dev team and a professional, devoted community? I'll stick with Dash. I know a winning team when I see one.

Dash has a mere 28 contributors.  If that's "world-class" then what are Bitcoin (325 contributors) and Monero (41)?  Galaxy class?   Tongue

Does Dash has a "world-class dev team?"  No, it doesn't.


A "world-class dev team" doesn't royally screw up a change to Litecoin's difficulty algorithm, then deploy it without testing, then refuse to relaunch with fair notice after fixing the instamine "bug."

A "world-class dev team" wouldn't rip off CoinJoin, then refuse to talk to the creator of said technique about technical matters but insist on using his name for snake-oil marketing.

A "world-class dev team" doesn't offer financial advice by make rosy price predictions based on TA tea leaves, nor would they promote Masternodes using claims of high yields for an unlicensed investment product.

A "world-class dev team" wouldn't make a product that actual world-class devs GMAX and PTOD refer to as "bad crypto" and "broken."

Of course there's no question the DashHole community of bagholders is devoted to a cult-like level, but that's more creepy, unsettling, and (paraphrasing GMAX) depressing about the general state of humanity than a feature.

The most noticeable thing about DashHoles vs Bitcoiners (and especially Monero Mustangs) is they tend to lack a background in crypto and be more towards the low-information, socially constructed reality dwelling end of the spectrum, as opposed to the uber-nerd/power-geek/egghead/cypherpunk types you find being excited about esoteric concepts like ring signatures and 100% fungibility.

Dash goes out of its way to pander to the dim-witted and/or lazy thinking of those who don't understand all the technical jargon and just want to believe in a brand that makes them feel safe, while still appealing to their sense of greed by promising (or at least implying) a Business Opportunity to Get Rich Quick.

When we see such blatant fraud we are compelled to cry fraud, lest we also be frauds.
I feel much hate in you. I'm sorry your efforts are not going to be appreciated. Only focusing on the negative leads to health problems, and you won't get me to go down that path. We have a 5000+ thread that documents all of the positive things Dash has done, and that's where I choose to focus. Thank you for bringing that list to us though, It proves that no one is perfect.

What else you got?

My token post was only a tiny subset of the things wrong with Dash.  We can also discuss how a "world-class dev team" wouldn't use a crappy algo like X11, how lame and transparently self-serving Duffsplanations for the instamine are, how vertoe quit because of Dash's one-man dictatorship, etc.

Then there's the ridiculous 24+ hour mixing times, the lack of sendmany, the failure to deliver promised Masternode blinding, the endless moving goalposts and complete lack of follow-though on previous commitments, the defense of Cryptsy, etc.

And that's not all.  I can do this all day; you DashHoles make it way too easy.   Smiley

Accusing me of "hate" isn't really the most effective way to deflect attention away from the myriad widespread criticisms of Dash's instamine, bad crypto, snake oil marketing, etc.

But I understand your target audience is the low-info type you want to keep in the cargo cult, not high-info types who already know Dash is a fraudulent enterprise.

Coming from you this is really so so funny.


Again with the deflection in the form of attacking the messenger.  I like how you imply an appeal to hypocrisy, but don't have the courage to elaborate beyond the insinuation.

To be clear, it's not just silly old *me* that finds Dash to be a fraudulently instamined shitcoin of the scummiest magnitude.

The criticisms of Dash are not all coming from me.  I'm using external sources of expertise such as GMAX and PTOD.
