I've seen at least 10 posters take a new interest since Tao started on his campaign and that could already equate to a thousand or more taking a silent interest. The only message Dash needs to get across is "there's some genuine innovation going on here, take a look and see what you think", only a very simple message but the trolls have been very successful at silencing it and that has to stop.
Ok. Can't argue with "field data".
I apologise to Tao if I came across as undermining his efforts which are always made in good faith. It's just that I've never personally felt their attacks very substantive and am keen to develop 'real' economic use-cases for Dash. (As opposed to speculative ones).
Cheers - looks interesting. Will have a read.
