windows miner exe

so are you claiming no one else compiled the windows miner on their own?

There is no evidence either way, so let's not speculate. Clearly when people talk about Windows builds being available for launch they are talking about compiled, since most Windows users, unlike Linux users, don't have compilers or know how to use them.

The only one I recall who explicitly reported compiling it said that it didn't work, prompting Evan to make an emergency update (I'm not referring to the guy with the compile error due to his own mistake; the other one). This too was after the launch.

So the point you Monero peddlers are trying to push is that those with the best knowledge and tools have advantage in highly competitive situations and that is a bad thing?

It wasn't a bad thing for Monero was it?

I know many people say that not having compiled Windows wallets is unfair. This is not something we just made up for the purpose of this thread.

I can tell you Monero's launch was delayed by about 12 hours (I think) specifically in order to have compiled Windows wallets ready. Most other coins that are attempting to have good launches do this too, afaik. Some people mentioned it on the Dash thread at the time, too, so this isn't an issue that didn't exist at the time.

If that were the only problem with Dash's launch, I'd say it probably wasn't that big a deal (my opinion), but when you combine it with everything else, its one more factor to consider.

And as far as I can tell no one is attempting to peddle anything on this thread other than the laughable notion of Dash as the Future Internet of Money. Even the OP at some level knows that claim to be absurd and false, or he wouldn't have tripped over Betteridge's Law in composing the topic.
