Unfortunately the marketing-over-technology noise-over-signal smoke-over-steak paradigm DashHoles operate within prizes the high post number and page length over quality of discussion.
It's possible the trollbox banter is being used for forum sliding, in which critical posts warning about Dash's fraud are strategically moved farther back in the thread by piling on newer posts.
I think the thread, being unmoderated, has a fair mix of opinion.
Yes there is a lot of noise of course. ..but isn't the technology well conceived ? Tech is only a part of the success, adoption is a very big factor.
I guess that time will tell which alts are best. I think a period of reratings has just started, and the outcomes are by no means certain !
