\u201cBut Dash PrivateSend has a much smaller ambiguity set! Its privacy is broken!!!\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nGeneral notes:<\/h3>\n During most of its history Dash has been under constant attacks, many of which trying to portray Dash as a failure. This is oxymoronic, because\u00a0nobody hates on failures, especially not for 3+ years. We\u2019re still here and we\u2019re not going anywhere (except maybe well past the moon ;).<\/p>\n
Remain skeptical towards sensational accusations without evidence. Our community is helpful, knowledgeable and more than happy to answer any questions, as we have done many times on this subreddit. Still, we\u2019re all only human, have limited resources and we\u2019re just one project among many (though a resident Top 10). Stakeholders and investors of other projects will always have an agenda to smear what they perceive as competition (I have yet to see our community actively go after other projects, though).<\/p>\n
Just remember the\u00a0Bullshit Asymmetry: \u201cThe amount of energy required to refute bullshit is at least an order of magnitude larger than to produce it.\u201d So it would be very unjust to expect a refutation on the spot all of the time. Prefer taking the initiative by asking the community directly about the claim you\u2019re confronted with. This community has proven many times to possess the integrity required to admit to technological shortcomings, but at the same time we\u2019ll never hesitate to call out illegitimate claims and accusations, of which there are many, for what they are.<\/p>\n
The most common and most empty attack is \u201cDash is a scam\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nDash has surpassed its all-time high price several times<\/li>\n Its developers are publicly known, many by full name<\/li>\n It\u2019s still being developed after almost 4 years with an incredible track record of under-promising and over-delivering, a game-changing roadmap & a clear vision of the future<\/li>\n Its technology works as advertised and remains\u00a0objectively\u00a0superior to Bitcoin and many other currencies<\/li>\n Myriads of projects copied Dash\u2019s features<\/li>\n Look at the wealth of in-depth information linked on this page alone. Look at all the interviews, articles, news shows, podcasts, presentations, conferences, infrastructure, the people\u2026. Does this all really\u00a0look\u00a0like a grandiose scam?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMore importantly you have to ask the critic just this one question:\u00a0Who was scammed?\u00a0The answer usually consists of complete silence or attempts to change the topic.<\/p>\n
Regarding Dash\u2019s finances: Despite what many people assume influenced by the ICO insanity of the recent past, Dash did\u00a0not\u00a0have an ICO and Dash does\u00a0notdepend on 3rd party funding\/investors. It is self funded from the blockchain and thus\u00a0an entirely independent organization\u00a0that does exactly what it wants, not what any angel investors want us to do. Dash is the first currency in history to achieve that. In fact Dash pioneered almost every single one of its features making it one of the\u00a0most prolific innovators\u00a0in the cryptocurrency space. Before Dash invented them, none of these features existed:<\/p>\n
\nX11: power saving hashing algorithm<\/li>\n Dark Gravity Wave: highly reliable difficulty adjustment<\/li>\n Sporks: Multi-phased forking technology avoiding hard forks during network upgrades<\/li>\n Masternodes: Incentivized full node infrastructure through split of mining reward<\/li>\n PrivateSend: protocol level coin mixing without the flaws of CoinJoin<\/li>\n InstantSend: instantly confirmed double spend proof transactions<\/li>\n Treasury: Self-funding by splitting of block reward<\/li>\n Blockchain Governance: Voting rights for those who provide our network\u2019s backbone<\/li>\n Evolution platform technology: Under heavy development but making rapid progress towards true digital cash so user-friendly that even your grandmother could use it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTo re-iterate a previous point:<\/p>\n
Dash has been copied by several dozen other projects either completely or through selected features indicating a strong approval of its technology within the wider cryptocurrency industry.\u00a0The most copied feature by far is the Masternode system and the financial self-reliance it provides.<\/p>\n
