So a word from the outside, guys: I honestly know nothing about who is a scammer and who is not, but the biggest post, although containing no sources, has not been responded to, which looks 1-0 for the Dash critics.
Personal attacks seem to be the norm here, but persons making them do not realize that they look like spoield children, especially if they mention no facts.
Time to end the XMR vs DASH battle: Confessions of a Dash Enthusiasthttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1538753.msg15470903#msg15470903FeelTheBern = TheDashGuy
He basicly scammed the Monero community by collecting donations from them under false pretenses.
The donations were compensated in the end by Dash community members (they gave it to Fluffypony for further distribution).
He has a history of trolling both the Dash and Monero community.
You are of course perfectly free to believe his posts, but for those who know him better his posts are nothing more then just troll posts.
You fail to state what Thedashguy did for dash. He created several websites, including the awesome dashndrink.com site, whatisdash.org, and many others for the community. Whatisdash.org was a far better site than dash.org and was completed in a month vs the dash.org redesign that took 1.5 years and still has broken links. Since he was totally blasted by core members for trying to help with dash.org and was totally disrespected when he offered a marketing proposal he stopped helping Dash. (FYI, that same core member that blasted thedashguy, yidakee, was quietly fired - so it was even admitted he was in the wrong)
And I have been heavily involved in dash building the Dash N Drink soda machine to show off InstantSend along with other examples of merchant tools like DashNGo. It was all looked at as a "too early" examples of Dash technology. The core just wanted to wait for Evolution before touching anything that could be used with merchants. It is all too fishy. Why wouldn't Dash put resources behind merchant tools and technology? It looks like the entire project is a scam to partner with big companies to leach the budget and bring in more investors to raise the coin price.
So you ask why previously devoted Dash enthusiasts are now against Dash? We learned about the real intentions of the developers....and it isn't to grow transactions or make the currency useful.
No, what you learned is the dynamics of the market and the economics at play in Dash. You also learned that creating a budget proposal that is lacking details, is not pre-discussed at all and has budget terms
difficult to accept in any budget proposal is a sure way to
not get your budget proposal passed.
You also learned the Dash community was getting tired of the endless hate posts on your slack channel against our Dash dev-team and you witnessed a widely-supported move against that by the creation
of new Dash slack channels and the denouncement of your Dash slack channel.
You were repeatedly asked to distance yourself from all the above but for some reason you could not. Perhaps your business goals got misaligned with the goals of the Dash community and
your inflexibility to cope with that got you here, i dont know. But the way you are posting here and on dash.org/forum is just sad to watch, frankly you seem to be degrading yourself.
Good luck with this thread, i'm done here.
