cryptotech attracts a certain breed of folks that achieve a certain amount ego-gratification by poking at prominent projects.
These gnats can continue to annoy in their attempt at inflated self-importance. While they continue to proclaim the "end is nigh" and hand out Jack Chick tracts, Dash will continue to improve and innovate.
Bitcoin is a "prominent project" in cryptotech.
Litecoin is a "prominent project" in cryptotech.
Ethereum is a "prominent project" in cryptotech.
Ripple is a "prominent project" in cryptotech.
Even OpenBaazar and ZeroCash are arguably "prominent projects."
Dash is not a "prominent project" in cryptotech. Nobody cares about Dash except bagholders living in the past, clinging to broken hopes and rapidly dissipating dreams.
Perhaps Dash was "prominent" at the height of its hype cycle/price pump two years ago, but not anymore. Darksend is obsolete compared to Monero, Confidential Tx, and especially Monero+RingCT. InstantX is obsolete compared to Lightning and XCN.
The "end is nigh" for the instained Dash scam, just as it was for Paycoin, Neucoin, and Cryptsy.
