Why Dash is the Most Sybil Attack-Resistant Cryptocurrency — By Far

The one who wants to Sybil-Attack and owns 800 masternodes (you already have people that own at least 500 ones) he does not need to directly attack privatesend on instasend. Instead he can pass a proposal in the budget, asking for some sort of "improvements" in these protocols that is hire his own developer and implant a beautifull backdoor into the code, or even he can pass a proposal in the budget in order to tottaly abolish instasend or privatesend features, again by voting such a proposal in the budget.

By allowing unique persons to own 500 votes (that is more than 10% of the votes), you are already sybil-attacked, but you dont know it or you dont want to admit it.

Whatever your beautifull advertiser @amanda_b_johnson says, this is the truth about dash and sybil attack.

What is the solution to this? Vote with numbers of course, what else? Setting the maximum allowed votes to the total number of masternodes, is a hardcoded magic number. And hardcoded magic numbers should always be voted. So you need a vote asking what is the maximum number of votes someone should be allowed to have, where everybody should cast a number vote inbetween 1 and the number of all masternodes, and then calculate the result as an average.

The vote record has nothing to do with who is right and who is wrong.
Right and wrong are independants of voting.
Vote does not indicates the right or the wrong, it is only indicates the taste.

And you, the dash generation of 2014-2016, you have a really bad taste (as the vote history indicates.)
You are a shamefull generation, and the future dash generations will curse upon your disgusting decisions and votes.
