yes.  I've had an account for years.  Today I sold dash to pay for rent, go to withdraw and find i'm "Tier 0" and my withdraw request exceeds the allowed amount.  So, with no other recourse, I begrudgingly fill out the required information just so I canpay my rent/ and successfully initiate my withdrawal.

Now my withdrawal has been in pending state for almost 24 hours.  I open a ticket and get the following bullshit reply:

"I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We are experiencing
a delay when it comes to processing BTC transactions especially with withdrawal requests.
Our technical support team is already aware of the issue and is currently working on a fix.
We appreciate your patience as we get the coins moving to you.
Thank you kindly for your patience and understanding."

That was 8 hours ago.

Thanks Cryptsy, in one swift move you've lost all my significant future business.

thanks for the sub 0.008 DASH 
my DASH withdraws went through fine as always. good luck on your btc. cryptsy is dead to me.

The weather is getting colder for those in the northern hemisphere. Maybe people are turning their (free) heaters back on again after a summertime break.

Yes but the point was about fairness. Both BTC and LTC had start issues, in the sense that BTC was solomined and LTC was instamined. And even when a coin doesn't have these issues, it has cpu-botnets when it comes with new algorithms, it has whale miners dominating the hash rate, etc etc. I have yet to see what a "fair distribution coin" looks like. People don't have the same means to access new coins and this underlying problem creates distribution problems anyway, even if it is announced that a new great coin will be launched in a month from now.

And even when people do have the capacity to acquire significant market portions for peanuts, if they don't they then cry about it. People were buying 10k DRK batches for 0.25 btc 100k DRK for 2.5btc. This went on for more than two weeks after launch.Some were saying, ok why part my 0.25 btc or 2.5 btc to buy a shitcoin - even when Evan had already published his plans for anonymity and intention to rival the top coins? There was general distrust about all those "clone coins" that were appearing.

The launch was problematic, the coin price at the time reflected this problem. Many coins = cheap coins = people could grab them for nothing off the market or through messages. So the market solved the distribution issue by making the plethora of coins have a very low price. The entire instamine was worth less than 50 BTC.

If one goes the scam route, Darkcoin was a 40something btc scam. That was the total marketcap two to three weeks after launch.

Bitcoin original blocks were 50 btc EACH. And satoshi mined a million BTCs. Was he a billion-USD scammer (late-2013 marketcap), or did he make a coin that exploded in value much later? Were the people who were buying 10.000 BTC pizzas idiots, or simply giving value to something that was -at the time- pretty much worthless?

Hypocrisy, in this case, is when one attacks someone else, based on retroactive reasoning and facts that may now be true but weren't at the time something happened. And it's going circles and circles over here for no reason other than competitive trolling. Let's troll our competitor so we can rise to the top. The community decided on the instamine issue that the coins were sufficiently distributed, rejected the airdrop proposal by Evan who wished to fix the issue, and we moved on. And that was in <0.002 prices, even before the market went to post 0.02+ levels which shuffled the market players multiple times.

So another aspect of the hypocrisy is that it pretends the instamined marketshare is somehow frozen solid in mid-january-2014 status, when the coins have already been shuffled around multiple times. But the truth isn't convenient for trolling.... so trolling is about projecting mid-jan-2014 distribution to the now (which is false), then retroactively applying the new value to what was then worthless (dafaq?), citing intention for a diff-retargeting bug that was already present in the forked LTC-code, claiming scam when Evan proposed to rectify the situation within 2-3 months after the launch, through the airdrop which was voted down reacted violently against (back when prices were like 0.0012-0.0015) and finding all kind of crap to throw around for a developer that has stuck with his coin longer than Satoshi did for BTC before engaging into more interesting ventures.


The two coins had different economic parameters and thus a different reaction to the LTC-code re-targeting difficulty bug.

In any case, the bug wasn't put there by Evan. It was already there from the LTC code.

Otoh relied a lot on Cryptsy and Bitfinex for manipulating Dash, hence why he managed to get the price from 600k to 2M+. Now that Bitfinex delisted the coin and Cryptsy, besides being unreliable these days, introduced account verification too, he has nowhere to go and manipulate. Polo requires verification and on top of that has a very low volume.

Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! This is not good.

Nice the whole Monero team is here including the dev. Again...

We know guys Dash is cool!!

yes, kyc without any email notice. looks like vern put out a little tweet but did not explain how drastic it would be. cryptsy is all but done for now.

shapeshift/coinomi or otc will be the way to go for DASH until a decentralized exchange is built. shapeshift has hinted at revolutionary changes (decentralized exchange?) in the works so stay tuned.  
there is at least one or two smaller exchanges that has implemented instantx but i'm not sure if they are or are planning on being kyc compliant. probably depends on if they are US based or in countries with extradition treaties.

My comment isn't just in relation to your previous post; it's based on the dozens/hundreds of posts you've made in this thread over a long period that, while not as extreme by comparison to the other three individuals I mentioned, are still often very negative and adversarial. The essence of what I (and the many others have previously pointed out) am getting at is that the amount of time you spend here is a slight on the use of that time for more productive purposes. Why are you so interested in taking an adversarial position with regards to Dash? How is that of benefit to you and (with the loss of that time) to the projects you're involved with?

What's in Dash, Evan and this community that has you so "appal-hooked" that you can't stop responding and reacting? I know that communities like this often get carried away and sometimes lose an ability for critical appraisal of what's going on. But there are enough people who're invested here who also have a healthy scepticism about what this project's about and how it's being run to balance out "fan boy" tendencies.

What is completely and utterly unhelpful to crypto as a whole is the trolling. IT IS PATHETIC IN THE EXTREME and does enormous damage to all of us, especially the projects that the trolls have an alignment to. And unfortunately, even though many of your posts are intelligent and relatively well written, you can't escape the "why are you here and not doing work on your own project?" dysfunction and damage to your reputation.

Auroracoin tried to distribute equal amounts to each citizen of Island. Whether that was a success is debatable.

Maybe after the totalitarianism has reached a peak and every human is carrying a tracking ID we can simply send the same amount of coins to everyone in the world. But then when everyone has the same amount, no one has the incentive to work for increasing the value of one's holdings.
