I even jokingly suggested a commandline feature (most likely undocumented) titled -legacymode for those that wish to keep the Darkcoin love on their own client ends.

Easy chief, no one is ripping on you because you are new--I'm certainly not. But coming into the project and already making the stance that changing the name will kill the coin really doesn't do anything to those of us that have been here since the beginning having watched the development...

So the answer is one.... maybe. I think the majority want what's best for the coin and frankly, it's not going to happen sticking with the old name. If this is something that concerns you (trying to appeal to more people), you might want to consider allocating your money elsewhere.

No reason eh? How about appealing to a broader demographic? How many merchants have you brought on to Darkcoin? How did you sell Darkcoin to them without overcoming the hurdle that it isn't a coin strictly for nefarious purposes?

And Vertoe leaving if it was about the darkmarkets is pretty foolish if that was in fact the case. Even with a rebrand to appeal to a larger demographic, Vertoe could easily work on increasing DM adoption. Further, DM's in general aren't going to care what the name is as long as the underlying...

I agree that keeping the existing logo style D and promotional media and colors is the most appropriate thing to do during this transitionary period. Companies enhance logos all the time and you can easily google past logos to see how subtle modifications can bring new freshness to a company...

I'm comfortable with people using potential new names in an unofficial capacity to see whether or not it is something viable for the project. After all, I've read numerous people coming around to the new name change after letting it resonate a bit. Having said that, its a fine line as we're...

I agree that PRing is premature at best until it has been 100% finalized. Just makes the most sense from a practical standpoint.

That's exactly it... leave it to community vote and all those options would have been snatched up instantly. Eye on the prize. Darkcoin and its all boys club (+ moli and tante) isn't going to be the kind of game changing platform for future adoption.

Agreed. The market cap already represents such a small area of fanboys (no offense to anyone, I'm included). Real adoption is what all crypto should be shooting for and no sense in fighting an uphill battle. I don't really care if it's Dash or something else as long as it's thought out. The...

I think the biggest thing, regardless of the name chosen, is to insure that the transition goes smoothly and all ducks are in order--from a trademark/legality standpoint, whatever name is chosen needs to be fine to use free and clear without the potential of litigation. Further, all pools...

Well nothing other than the name is changing, it's still keeping the addresses and blockchain so it's purely cosmetic. All exchanges would promptly be contacted to change the name.

...and Apple's a fruit, right.

That's to be expected. Hard to argue English language and connotations as being a major deterrent. Some of us that are for a rebrand actually want Darkcoin to succeed. And you know what success is... having the largest possible userbase. If a name prevents people (be it end users, merchants...

No one said Dashcoin. It's just Dash. The coin aspect is being dropped.

And your meaningful contribution for a new name is what exactly? It's easy to disregard it if you aren't contributing your own ideas. Further, if you actually looked at the reasons behind using the name "Dash" you would see it is fitting vs your Kodi example which doesn't represent anything...

Ah yes, because "XBox Media Center" was appropriate to stick with after branching out beyond the Xbox platform. I love how you are suggesting universally liked when the community of crypto is so minute, it isn't even funny. How about polling normal citizens across various countries on their...

You guys are more than able to try to find a more fitting name but given the exposure to existing logos for immediate recognition (stuck in the constraints of D-words), Dash seems appropriate for a few reasons: 1. It drops the coin aspect... it's a platform that not only functions as a currency...

Probably just name it "Privatize" or "Anomymize", whatever has greater appeal and less backlash.

A year is still too small of a timeframe to really gauge success and a marketcap of only $18M further proves that. Why limit mass appeal when the existing name is a marketing nightmare? I get the mystery behind the word "Dark" and I've never been one to think of it any differently than just a...
