I am creating this thread to be a repository for the ongoing, and for some, annoying discussion of the Darkcoin name. It seems this subject comes up on a regular basis, resulting in a rehashing of old arguments, the opening of old wounds, and in general creating more heat than light. It is my hope that in the future, people wanting to discuss this issue can simply be pointed here to see what has already been discussed.
Before going further it needs to be recognized that this is not a democracy, nor should it be a shouting match. The decision to change--if it is ever made--will be made by Evan, and the board of directors of the foundation. It is my hope that they will find rational and polite input for their decision here.
To that end, I would suggest that we try not to repeat views that are already expressed here other than as needed to rebut, or rebut a rebuttal. The shorter this thread, the more likely it is to be useful to newbies reviewing the issue, and decision makers considering the options. I know that some on both sides are tired of debate, but I would ask that if you find the absence of an argument that you think important, please post it for consideration.
Peace to you all...
