Title: Why renaming to Bitcoin Core instead of Bitcoin Phenom?
Post by: MysteryMiner on April 01, 2014, 09:07:58 PM
The renaming have received too few input from user base. This poll will fix it. From now I'm reminded about Intel Core series of processors every time I start Bitcoin client.

I think the Core are trademarked word by Intel. Even if it is generic word in English language just like "milk" it still points to CPUs made by Intel. Imagine if VIA or Transmeta started to produce chips called VIA Core i4 or similar. There will be lolsuit.

I voted for phenom because:

1. AMD fanboy :)
2. It sounds cool!
