To be fair, Evan can come here and once again state his case, whereupon I may further amend the list in the OP (go see the edit now).
Evan has no case, other than being very good at making nice words ("wolf in sheep skin") which causes people to not pay attention to the fact that he did not refute any of the following starting at the 10 minute point in the above quoted linked audio.
How is that Evan Duffield from Dash is not on this list, when smooth and others documented his ninjamine scam and then changing the planned coin supply to much less than was originally touted so that he and insiders owned most of the coins, and then creating a masternode design for Dash to pay more coins to those who own the most coins, thus a steady supply of selling coins to n00bs and then paying more coins themselves.
The alleged ongoing scam is allegedly perpetrated via to a great extent trading BTC for DRK, so should be included in this Bitcoin Hall of Shame.
1. smooth and others have documented that he is lying about an innocent programming error leading to in Evan's own words, "1/3 of the total coin supply being mined in less than 24 hours".
2. He also doesn't mention in the linked audio, that after this fact, he changed the planned coin supply to be much less than it was originally published to be, so the instamine amounted to 1/3 of the coin supply.
3. He claims in the linked audio that he is not the largest holder of DRK (Dash), yet we have no way to verify that and besides how could he know this unless he knows who the largest holders are? This is evidence that he does know them or he is bending the truth for propaganda.
4. Even if he doesn't have most of the DRK that was instamined, his insiders who were privy to the instamine scam do. And when he instituted the masternode scam, that enabled them to further concentrate the supply of coins. It is simple economics and smooth et all have already explained this exhaustively.
5. I found a high school level probability math error in the InstantX white paper some year after it had been released, wherein these scammers had claimed a 1000X less chance of masternode collusion than is actually the case. Smooth or someone can dig up the link for you if you want. And you can even read Evan's one post response before he high-tailed it out there not to be heard from again on the issue.
6. Erik Voorhees (whose scams were documented upthread) was pitching for Dash at a recent conference which can be viewed on YouTube. Has the dude not even studied the technology! Dash is complete crap compared to Monero. For example, it requires minutes to anonymous a transaction, it can't be done autononomously, and the masternodes compromise your anonymity. I was the one who first explained that CoinJoin be jammed, which then caused Evan to propose the masternode nonsense which was just a veil on the corrupt economic structure it concentrates as well as rendering the security and anonymity suspect.
7. In addition to
probably being an illegal unregistered investment security because it was launched as a premine to themselves (in disguise) and promoting to USA investors without registering with the SEC (and Evan ostensibly being a US citizen), it is also violating
FinCEN regulations which probably thus require masternodes to register as Money Services Businesses, since they are transferring money from the block chain to a third party. This Dash crap is illegal from every angle.
8. At recent conference, Dash was pushing a Dash soda pop machine and had a lady with a g-string walking around on their conference floor area. Hype much?
The list goes on and on, but that should be sufficient to remove the strikethrough from his name in your OP.
