I am about to buy dash few years ago that time known as darkcoin when price very cheap about 6000 satoshi but i didn't buy it because of this thread! Wtf with instamine!?
And don't doubt seeing my rank because I am in crypro since early 2014.
I am really regrets not buy darkcoin.

well an average/typical person would not invest in darkcoin unless he/she is very lucky or blindly invested money.. i tried to mine darkcoin in march 2014, I haven't research the instamine very well at that time, but the thing that put me off immediately was the 84 million was reduced to 21 million, it was like telling the miners " no more coins for you, settle for scraps" ... 84 million was their social contract and they breached it.

vcash developer john-conner is an example of a technically inclined person to mine with the instamine because he can run and compile linux wallet, because Evan obviously didn't want windows users to join the instamine

check these people who obviously joined the instamined: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1282836.msg13200467#msg13200467

I instamined some 18,000 Xcoin so I can't say anything negative. However Evan should at least come clean that it was planned. It was almost clever enough but we all know how that simple variable was not a mistake because if it was a bug they'd have seen it when testing X11. Use common sense. Evan, come clean.

that's a developer saying that it is impossible to "not know" or it was an "accident"

i agree, evan should at least be honest maybe could have changed things for dash for better..

i'm not technically inclined to look at the code and say that the bug was not an accident but i can say for sure that Evan deliberately hide his plans from the people for 1 month after he instamined, make 20k and 10k buy offers at btctalk, changed the coin supply..and maybe bought at the exchanges at very low prices..

Great, now that everything is stable, I'll be posting later about the vision of this project and milestones! Time to move on to actually implementing what I set out to do.

Masters

To defeat propagation problems, master nodes are elected each new block. They are responsible for being the authority of what goes into the joined transaction each session. This is done in a tamperproof way, but I think its not important to the discussion.

Evan could have made an honest launch but obviously he thought he might have get less amount of coins being honest so he choose his/their crooked ways ... pity.

dash shills may have said that "the community" voted to keep the instamine rather making an airdrop

what community? this community? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1282836.msg13200467#msg13200467 LOL!
