I have been attacked by the Non-Coding Dash guys for a while now. I have put up with it because I believed in Dash.
For any newbies, here is some history:
- First I was told you can't build an instantx soda machine and you will just take the money.
i voted for it and never said that, who said you can't build it and will just take the money? we have plenty of disinfo trolls that say dumb stuff like that all the time just to cause trouble.- Then it was you are a scammer because you built the soda machine (with camo and moo of course) but are not giving profits(never expected to be used after the show anyway) back to the community.
i never said (scammer) that but i don't deny someone may have. it was a legit question to ask where the profits and machine that the community paid for would go. i thought camo was holding it hostage for a while right? he is a total hothead but a smart guy. unfortunately he does not play well with others, at all.- Then accused of trying to take over Dash by submitting a proposal to get technology into vendors called vendor-experience. Instantx anyone?
lol, i never saw anyone accuse you of trying to take over dash, but maybe they did idk. not me. i think the vender ex was too soon and just not needed at the time, was a bit expensive too if i remember correctly. we have funded a few similar vendor related things and they have pretty much gone unused. it's just too soon chicken before the egg thing. i think camo and maybe you think if we would have just do that and other stuff he wanted we would be btc market cap or 2nd place right now, i disagree. user experience first (evo) then we will be ready for the vendor ex in 2018.- I was harassed several times in private messages flaming me with inappropriate language (from a core member still on the team).
that is not cool if it went down the way you say. sorry.- Called a troll almost non-stop for any critical thinking.
not sure about non-stop but it happens. if it was after the old slack meltdown that would make sense. there was some very nasty stuff said about evan by itw and buster was being well...buster.- Called a scammer for supporting Dash and community with a slack and then stopping it when the proposal was defunded.
imo that's when everything started to go downhill for you. you were attacked somewhat unfairly imo but some of it was your fault too. you should have dumped itw and maybe buster and you probably not have got defunded.remaining silent on itw vicious and relentless everyday all day personal attacks is what got slack defunded.- Now I am labeled a concern troll and one of the 5 guys, even though I have done more with InstantX than anyone else in Dash, just look at my signature.
you have brought up some good points but you have started moving into concern troll territory recently imo. There is definitely something wrong with this community. Maybe I should file a grievance with that new HR person that is coming soon.
i think after the slack was defunded you really started to become very bitter and that is unfortunate. dash is far from perfect but i trust the team and was pleased with the long overdue project reports from minotaur. the lack of communication issues caused a lot of unnecessary problems that really got out of hand on the old slack. there is a lot of blame to go around and still communication issues that need attention but i think everything is moving in the right direction. i just pointed out a mistake you made on slack because you are just trying to find fault with dash. you admitted the mistake but i think you will make more if you don't just step away for a while and take a break.
replying to this post here will probably just make things worse. if you are still invested/holding dash you may want to reply here, if not it would be best to pm me or respond on slack if you feel you must. i probably will not respond here on btctalk though as we are getting off topic and into personal stuff. if you are not holding dash anymore my advice would be to just let it go and move on to something you feel positive about, negativity is not good for you health.
Solar, I voted for you as well and in debt to your work you did for the dash vending machine.
I also think you need to have perspective that in this sort of scene there are people who will say anything and everything to get a reaction out of you. But ultimately I agree with mastermind in that you were treated that way because you hung out with the wrong crowd. If you believe in dash, ignore the crap that goes on and stay focused on making changes for the better. Unfortunately the people you hung out with were more interested in a witch hunt attacking people and causing unnecessary drama. Negativity breeds negativity.
I appreciate the comments and am not offended by non paid community members asking questions or posting assumptions. This is a natural process to be skeptical when you don't know someone.
Judging a user because they hung out with the wrong crowd? Yeah, that is ridiculous. The non coding core team is so against critical thinking that they intentionally call any negative comments trolling. Kot, Daniel, and mainly Coingun were in the dashchat slack intentionally redirecting anything critical. The discussions seemed like a witch hunt mainly because there were hardly ever any direct answers.
Critical thinking leads to improvements and innovation. Blind faith leads to waste, corruption, and laziness.
