Whats up Dashers?
Did you know Icey isn't as loyal as we thought? Shockingly he also trolls the bitcoin cash thread. He's been two timing us!
Oh look, the Dash Troll Patrol guy is here to earn his Instamined Shill Shekels.
'member when Dash Force announced that I would no longer be allowed to control the narrative w/r/t Dash's Instamine, centralization, HYIP, etc?
That was over a year ago, but
I'm now more firmly in control of the narrative than ever before. Just check /r/cryptocurrency and search for Dash...

Why is afbitcoins always buzzing around shitcoins like a fly waiting for the opportunity land on a pile of poop? Bcash and Dcash aren't even especially well executed scams.
afbitcoins' idiotic denial that there exists a problem with Bcash addresses being confused with real Bitcoin resembles his likewise idiotic refusals to admit Dash's InstandSend is broken, Dash's "Spork" master key creates centralization, and Dash's attempt to create a bounty for PrivateSend bugs failed.
In afbitcoins' make-believe world of wishful thinking and pure imagination, Bcash is the real Bitcoin and Dash isn't an instamined centralized bug-prone shitcoin scam.

Oh yes and he controls the narrative

You must be new here. Otherwise you would have seen me mercilessly trolling the XT/Classic/Unlimited/Bcash/B2X forkers over the last several
years. Sorry snowflake, you're not that special.

Here's a topical history lesson in the phase you brought up.
Here is a technical blog post by DJB which talks about different approaches to cryptographic security.
It appears that Dash uses the
"attacker economist" approach.
I believe this is a very relevant technical discussion that applies to crypto currency and in particular for this thread: DASHHere is the link to the post:
http://blog.cr.yp.to/20151120-batchattacks.htmlNo way in hell you're getting me to waste my time reading that. I'll never get those 10 minutes back...

Don't read it.
But that's okay as I'm already a "troll" right?
Others may read it some may not...doesn't bother me. I'm just posting facts and my own take on those facts.
Good sir... No we will not put you on ignore. You and your abusive thugs/trolls will not
control the narrative on our DASH communities. Your thinly masked contempt for our superior currency and community will in the end be your undoing. DASH talk is the forum to get real information. Everyone knows it. In fact I'm seriously thinking of paying for a bunch of banner ads on all of bitcointalk to point that out.
It seems BigR's chest-pounding declarations, assertions, and promises were just so much lulzy, frothy braggadocio. He couldn't even keep his BCT account safe!

Control the Narrative: What I Learned Working Dash Forces Troll PatrolI do this thing colloquially called the troll patrol.
Not everyone understands the value of the troll patrol. Thats understandable, since from the outside it all looks like a bunch of petty fighting and arguing with people who wont change their minds. Having been in the trenches for some time, however, I can assure you that theres a lot more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye. To that effect Im going to write a series of articles on what Ive learned from countering trolls for a living, starting with
narrative control....
https://www.dashforcnews.com/control-narrative-learned-working-dash-forces-troll-patrol/4: Control the narrative
Trolling establishes narrative control by repeatedly shouting one message over and over, in absence of a competing viewpoint. If people only hear one story they will be forced to accept it, while introducing a second opinion makes them undecided pending further research. If the truth is on your side, this is always a win, as onlookers will either remain indifferent or look closely into the claims of each side, which is a death blow to the trolls.
Setting aside the fact that most of the Dash trolls are the ones attacking others (hi /u/Basilpop) to deflect attention away from the Instamine, Joel makes a good point or two here.
Having the facts on my anti-InstamineScam side does make it much easier to win over onlookers. The best example of that is when we "trolled" Tone Vays by explaining the Instamine was intentional, causing him to dump his Dash and warn the world about it being a scam.
'member?
https://twitter.com/ToneVays/status/717822927908024320Upon discovering Dash's Instamine was provably intentional, he experienced what is called 'narrative collapse' when his false beliefs (learned from Dash propaganda) could not explain actual reality.
