hahahahaha.   "Instamine....Instamine...instamine....with no victims,  ahhhhh, that's all I have folks...  "

 Dear MasterXchange customer,

    It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing we
    are going to shut down the exchange in a few weeks.
    It was a great adventure for us, filled with a lot
    of challenges, that taught us a lot and was very rewarding.

    The cryptocurrencies ecosystem has changed a lot since
    we launched in december 2013, and we are facing a lot
    of competition. With shrinking revenues, we are not
    able to provide the quality of service we have always
    thrived for and so we decided to move on to other projects.

    Please check your account balances and withdraw your
    coins before November 15th 2015. Passed that day,
    we will not guarantee anything.

    We are still very confident in the long run success
    of Bitcoin and will stay actively implicated in the
    Crypto Currencies ecosystem.

    We stored millions worth of your mastercoin and
    maidsafe and were never hacked. We did our best
    to provide a quality service.

    We want to thank you all for your loyalty and
    trust and wish you all the best for the future.

    Best regards,

    Emilien Dutang
    Adrien Lafuma

Get your DASH/Darkcoin out.

No matter how much we discuss in forums, real issues won't disappear on their own. Check the article below, Dash solution for incentivized node operation is becoming more important by the day.

Bitcoin Node Numbers Fall After Spam Transaction 'Attack'

While projects like Bitnodes – now rolled into 21 – are seeking to incentivise node operators with weekly payouts, it appears some operators simply won't return, with this the final straw.

Redditor 'Introshine' said they had spent $400 on hosting costs in the last year, adding: "I had to take over 28 nodes offline that could no longer handle the mempool. Also, I ran out of funds the last few months. I'm sorry to say but they're not coming back."

Agree 100% and I couldn'd care less about what Evan does with his coins. The thing is when someone shows continued commitment to something and delivers what he promissed multiple times in some respectable timespan, it's natural to develop some trust in that individual and believe what he says at face value 

Apparently, we are all "gratuitous scam defenders"... HAHA!!! Just got this from the Bitcoin Forum. What a joke! These trolls really don't like my recent posts, I guess.

Anyway, I'm reposting (essentially bumping) each time they try to delete it, because a) there is more than reasonable doubt that the #5 cryptocurrency is a scam, and b) this is not gratuitous scam defending.

Gratuitous scam defending



Dash was the first coin that was attractive enough for me to become involved with to the extent that I stopped simply being a reader of BCT and actually created an account. Before that, I was simply a reader an investor. I have invested in other coins that I thought were innovative at the time like BlackCoin and PeerCoin (which thankfully I got out at a decent price). Call me a SHILL and keep convincing yourself that you're doing your own coin a favor, but I'm telling you, FUD only has so much shelf life before actually delivering something becomes more important. At this point, I'm sure that all the value your coin will ever get from trolling this thread has played out and now you're not only wasting your time, but you've damaged your own coin irreparably. I strongly advise you to regroup and think of another strategy. If you want mass adoption, it isn't going to come from stealing a few potential investors from Dash. If Dash eventually reaches mass adoption, this thread won
't matte
r anymore anyway.

I've had my account a long time now, only post occasionally and sometimes not for a long spell. I pretty much 90% of the time read this thread on BTC over the others. That doesn't make my viewpoints any less relevant that I only post here. Keep turning off people like me... the rich guy with deep pockets that plops down real money into these projects. See where it gets you. Maybe if you troll hard enough, an actual usable wallet will magically appear for your own coin!

You could have had a major investor with me, but that ship has sailed. I wonder how many others there are like me that mostly read but don't post often that think the same way I do. I suspect it's more than a handful. It's time, Adam. Time for you and your ragtag group of full-time trolls to reconsider the negative impact you are having on Monero. Sophisticated investors - the ones that have the potential to make or break a project - do extensive research anyway. In the end, practical solutions win. Innovation wins. Trolling has only gotten you so far... nowhere. Again, if you spent 1/10th the time devoloping ideas for Monero and helping with the development as you spent here, you would be much better off.

Blockchain pruning with CryptoNote exists: http://boolberry.org/files/Boolberry_Reduces_Blockchain_Bloat.pdf Several CryptoNote coins also have an official GUI (and the others have unofficial GUIs) and development continues so your statements are false.

Cryptsy have returned 2,886 LTC that I had on them over a week ago, just 70 odd BTC to go which it now looks like will be forthcoming shortly, so with the DASH that I was previously able to withdrawal that will be all of my > $50,000 bid wall funds safely returned, many thanks for those who wished for a good outcome in this and a big GFY to the haters who can only try and find some small thrill in the possible misfortune of others, to them - all that you wish on others will one day come back to you and many times over, try and learn from it and be less (self) destructive going forward perhaps.

That is great news my friend!!!  I'm looking forward to meeting you on that side of the pond soon. 

...18 Months Later...

So how's the progress towards these previously announced goals?  Were they (after a nice dump of instamined coins) abandoned Because Reasons?

Let's review:

I2P?  previously announced goal abandoned Because Reasons

Ring signatures?  previously announced goal abandoned Because Reasons

IP obfuscation (AKA masternode blinding)?  previously announced goal abandoned Because Reasons

And now, eduffield is announcing a goal to make Evolution succeed where ETH failed.
