Bitcoin Forum

Some members of our good BitMonero community decided to rename the coin and even did it after sneaky voting in their own IRC chat.
It's time to make public voting and to listen to the people!
Choose the name you like or offer something else.

24 hours to make it clear.

It was #bitmonero by that time. Hardly "their own IRC chat" :/.
Confirmation bias is dangerous. I recommand factual data instead.

The only one that has problem with the name is tft and it wouldnt be a sneaky poll for him if he was ever online watching what is going on with the coin instead of abandoning it.

This is kind of silly... anyone can make a bunch of profiles on here and vote it one way or the other.

If TFT wants to continue bitmonero as a separate fork he can easily do so by introducing some hardfork change into his repo.  monero-project repo will continue on its own. So far I have only introduced softforking changes, and both our clients are compatible with the network, though his is out of date.

What is the fair way?

This thread is an insight to how much people are unable to digest Monero's success

I'm not sure. I was never in favour of renaming the client itself from bitmonero. I wanted the daemon and protocol to be referred to as Bitmonero while naming the project name and coin itself Monero. Hence in the repo it's being maintained as "bitmonero".

Bitmonero is a good name for a client or protocol, monero is a good name for a currency.

Since people like both names, is this not a reasonable compromise?

Anyone can make the second announcement of the fresh coin.
Anyone can make optimized miner and pretend to be saints.

This is silly.

I'm sorry I've been maintaining the bitmonero/monero fork and haven't introduced any hardfork changes?

Hmm I don't know why Monero folks are getting on the defensive here with couple of Bytecoin faggots trying to FUDge. Don't worry about responding to these trolling faggots who are happy to merge mine 80% premine and spewing their propaganda. Bitcoin folks are watching/mining/trading MRO happily.

No, no. You just haven't introduced any changes ;)

Yeah, a peaceful Bitcoin Junior Member will call me faggot. I'll report it, thank you. Mr. bot, re-login, please to monero account and explain the questions, please:

Are you one of the fags who 80% ninja mined Bytecoin and coming here to show us the light ?

No, seriously, would someone with a discussion show up and stop this insulting bullshit.

Wow so many Bytecoin fans here lol. I would like to see those who are voting BitMonero post here too. Would be interesting to see why folks are voting the way they are but I can understand privacy too. I voted Monero (d'oh  8))

How is it even related to Bytecoin?

silly discussion...
I will keep calling it Monero... With or without poll

Monero is a shorter and better name for marketing strategy ;)

Why do I have the feeling that closely before the end of the 24 hours period, they will coincidentally be a lot of BMR votes?

:whistles:

Maybe because there was never an actual poll on the name, only take-over-the-control operation.

BitMonero is an absolutely awful name.  This may be intended as an attack on the coin.

I concur.  I voted Monero as soon as the poll went up.

monero

Taking over the control to instamine is the attack on original BitMonero.

Because it is an attack ;) Not one regular person has come forward and said they voted BMR. We had asked TFT to reconsider the name even before he was launching. We still mined after he launched it as BMR.

I remember tacotime giving up on an immediate fork because he himself thought and indicated how multiple forks only harm each other and even then sadly it went down to this.

I would have been ok with BMR but then TFT unfolded his flop card which was to merge mine with Bytecoin and I knew where he is coming from, where others like OP/Rias/Bytecoin miners are coming from and even some of the other mysterious ways the CN team is handling MRO. It tells us that MRO is on the right track.

rias

i thought that it was made clear the miner change was pretty simple. I am not a coder by any means but consensus came across ahhhhh. it was a simple coding change.

there is nothing wrong with alt coins. Rias, why dont you lead the masses and show us how it is done. I have made it clear, I am a sheep. I will follow the most fair and promising tech.

I think most people are sheep and will follow as well. The unfair thing that happend with bitmonero is
1. TFT proposed a vote for name but this voting never materialized. options were never given
--> he chose the name.
2. TFT did not take into consideration the 60 second confirmation time. it was pointed out the possible flaw but he did not awknowlege it.
--he changed it to 1 minute. making it easier to get orphan blocks.
3. OP was not updated regularly. making it very hard for new comers to participate.
--he did not respond and kept mining the coin himself. what he was most content with was getting a fork of bcn. he saw the pontential. given the current HR, he was right. but he jumped first. others volunteered to help. I do not know to what extent he included those people.

I do not think it was instamined. it is difficult now, and I feel you feel left out. I understand that. I tried for 5 days to participate with mro but couldnt. it was directly due to TFT structure.

I do prefer Monero over Bitmonero by far.

voted for Bitmonero but it means nothing. all that's kinda stupid

+1

I like both.
Biggest problem is that someone is going to launch fake monero  >:(

IMO that BitMonero is better just because we used to this name. And, personally , I like ''bit'' in the name

Oh, ok.
But I will not give up ;D

Bitmonero is a pretty cool name for a coin. Everyone got used to it and there was no need to rename

Firstly I liked both names but agressive Monero fans made my sympathy for it go down

Monero was voted by community. Lamenting after the fact is silly.

There are now few bcn clones.  Why not direct attention to those and offer support. I remember at the very beginning people called the coin a shitcoin. Scam coin and pump and dump. It seemed people formed their opinion without reading the thread. Please go over the original thread and educate yourself. Now it seems those individuals that made a rash decision see their mistake. To what end is unknown to me. Read the posts from bcn, bitmonero, monero, honeypenny.  LEARN about the coin and offer your support to the coin you think is worth you attention. 

Everyone did not get used it. the renaming made it a community coin and not a tft coin.
And that is a good thing.
