DASH ($DASH) Is pumping +15% today, but DASH has a "dark secret": it’s the 2014 launch "instamine." Dash launched in January 2014 as XCoin, later becoming Darkcoin and then Dash. Roughly 1.9 to 2 million DASH, around 10% of the eventual supply, were created within the first day or so, because of launch/difficulty and reward problems (bugs). Dash itself acknowledges this. Critics have argued that this effectively functioned like a stealth premine, claiming the unusually rapid mining benefited the founders and early insiders.
