My posts keep getting deleted in the official one and I DO OWN some boolberry and want to vote for the existing name.  And have a poll (please don't vote if you don't own some).

See this of the other censored poll without the option to keep boolberry  ::)

Boolberry

We didn't ask to change the name, as the OP clearly shows.

We sure as Hell didn't vote on a slate of three absolutely awful replacement candidates.

https://i.imgur.com/Sy0hm3X.jpg

We want normal people to use BBR, not just greasy teenage virgins who wear rad vintage AC/DC and Metallica tshirts like their heroes Beavis & Butthead.

"Rune?"  No.  Not just no, but hell no.  'Boolberry' is lighthearted and fun.  "Rune" is all dark and angst-ridden, like a smelly trench coat mom needs to have dry-cleaned.

Needs to stay boolberry and yes I hold.

I honestly think they should have had a community "Brainstorming" thread where everyone could have discussed a few more name choices to vote on. Then do a final vote along with the original three they came up with.

I honestly don't mind boolberry at all, I personally like bitberry myself since it's shorter and easy to say. I think that domain isn't available tho.

The other thing is that I really like the current logo. I'd stay with boolberry if it meant having to choose one of the current three.

Thank you for creating this thread.

BBR devs seem to enjoy disrespecting the BBR community. Why else would they not even have an option to keep the name Boolberry?

Time for new management imo

This is what was done for the previous polls, and there was no consensus because everyone had their own favorite name. And when one did have some consensus it wasn't possible because of domains, etc.

When CZ decided on Boolberry, everyone was outraged because that wasn't even suggested before (it was a combination of two suggested names). The reason there is no option to keep Boolberry is because there has been four months of bashing "Boolberry". Now all the sudden people love that name.

How is getting the community's opinion on three possible options "disrespectful" to the community? The vast majority of things are named by their creator. The community has no entitlement to decide the name of something, and it is unheard of for the community to be given any options at all in the name of something. The vitriol over the name is ridiculous.

Thanks for the background surfer.  I'd forgotten most of that old drama from last season of All My Altcoins.    :P

The warming up to BBR happend over time, not "all the sudden."  Since CZ imposed BBR months ago, his coin has enjoyed great success that puts almost any other altcoin to shame. 

BBR is working.  It isn't broken and doesn't need fixing.  BBR clearly has a bright future.  RUNE, not so much...

The "disrespect" comes from a pre-made decision being dressed up as the consensus of the community, with dissenting posts being deleted, rigged ballots, etc.

Ancient history aside, the current consensus of the community is to keep the name BBR, and that the name Rune is insultingly godawful.

haha - unofficial more popular than the official one  ;D

oh well - good to see something besides the monero threads  ::)  hope boolberry beats their retard ass

There is already a vortex coin, so you can't use that name. Here's the vortex coin thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=777508.0

I suggested boolberry better than all three suggested names in the "official" thread. My post was deleted there. I am not buying BBR.

This is election fraud.  We didn't ask for a name change, we don't like the 3 godawful choices, and our dissent is being censored.

EG

Also had deleted posts. Just put every last one of my BBR up for sale.

I'm sticking with my original thought when this name change thing was brought up in May.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=618470.msg6880715#msg6880715

RINGS is the best name for a CN coin. Not Rune or Vortex. Why not just call it cyclopse or storm or wolver... you know.

XRG XRN XRS XOO

The last one is two rings, see what I did there?  ;)

or.... just leave the name alone. BBR is just fine.

My recollection is that he came up with the name. People complained and he offered the opportunity to suggest replacement names. He didn't like any of those names, so he kept Boolberry. I could be wrong, that is just from memory.


My observation is that complaints about the name have gone away over time, especially once the price started going up. I don't think it is sudden at all.

what about bitring?

He did come up with the name and I immediately liked it - everything about it was perfect for the target audience - which isn't "basement dwelling neckbeards" as someone hilariously put it.

I had a pm exchange with zoidberg at the time, as well as posting publicly, and like to think that I played some small part in resisting a change back then.

Boolberry stands out. Rune is open the dictionary and point at a word and get another name for 1 in 1000 altcoin.

If you are going to change the name, it needs to standout more than Rune.

Why not Bools? Keep continuity and shorten the name and discard the silly berries.

Or Boollars or BBollars.

I like Bools somewhat. The argument about dropping the berries make some sense. Boollars or BBollars are terrible.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bool

However, it has allowed me to learn a new word..... buttbagging.  :o

Current name sounds like a specialty children's cereal.

Which are named to sound appealing..... so?

Unlike Rune/Vortex/Sektor, I could live with RiNG (singular) or RiNGCLOUD (a nifty thing from fluid dynamics/quantum physics and Russian ISP).  XRI.  But BBR is still better.

Children's cereals spend millions researching deeply effective marketing.  That's why you never forget their names.  It's a complement; BBR is fun like Doge/Trix/ponies.  People love that stuff.   :D

Bool is short for Boolean. It is a programming and logic term.

Other brainstorming ideas.

Boolt or Bolt (security and anonymity, also like lightning bolts or Usain Bolt)

Boollion (computer bullion)

Boolring

Boolseye

Booloid

Rubools or Robools

Boogle

Yaboo

7008

Coin Name = Boolean

Coin Symbol = BOOL

Boolberry = Latest offering from Kelloggs

Triff ..

I guess you're within the target demographic then.

Don't be jealous, you'll get there too, when you grow up.

Tosser.

Boollion (computer bullion)  is the best one by far  *(at that to your pipe and smoke it poll)

yahoo + boogle = yoogle

that there hat costs 27 yoogles. lol

 "There have been lots of names for British coins in times past, such as tanner for the old sixpence, bob for a shilling; for the half-crown coin (two shillings and sixpence) there were tosheroon or half a dollar. In the 1870s, the old crown coin, five shillings, was at times called an Oxford, which is rhyming slang (Oxford scholar = dollar).

"Another term of long-standing was joey, originally a name given by cabbies to the silver Britannia groat, or fourpenny piece, which was issued in 1836, largely at the insistence of Joseph Hume, the economist and Member of Parliament, who said it would be useful for paying short cab fares and the like, but which stopped being issued in 1855, after which the name was transferred to the then silver threepenny piece instead.

"Such names for smaller sums of British money have obviously fallen out of use since the decimalisation of the currency in 1971, which rendered most of the old coins obsolete, and have not yet been replaced with new ones.

"The only one which achieved popularity was Maggie in the eighties, of the then new gold-coloured one-pound coin, because, it was said, 'it's brassy, two-faced and thinks it's a sovereign' (the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, had a noticeable tendency to mimic some of the more regal characteristics of Her Majesty).

"Perhaps the nearest equivalent outside Britain is the Canadian one-dollar coin, universally called a loonie, ostensibly because of the bird pictured on one face, but more likely an expression of what people thought of the coin. (A Canadian wit claimed that as the Loonie had been such a success, the government was planning to bring out a two-dollar coin   to be called a Doubloonie.)"

................
    The 1920s and 1930s were particularly rich in American slang terms for money, some of which are still in use today. Some terms referred to money's use in purchasing food: bacon (as in bring home), bread, dough, and so on. (One term for counterfeit money was sourdough.) Other terms referred to the green colour of American bills: cabbage, lettuce, kale, folding green, long green.

    Rhino was a term first used in 1670. I suspect that jack derives from jackpot, originally referring to the large amounts of money you could win playing a jacks-or-better poker game. Some slang money terms I have no idea of the origin of: mazuma, moolah, oscar, pap, plaster, rivets, scratch, spondulicks. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some monetary slang was invented by Damon Runyan or other writers of the time. [No, Runyan is not a misprint. Damon's father was Alfred Lee Runyan, a storyteller and itinerant printer and publisher of smalltown newspapers. At an early age Runyan followed his father into the newspaper business. At 15 he worked for the Pueblo (Colorado) Evening Press, where he soon became a fully fledged news reporter. When a typographical slip spelt his name Runyon he decided to keep it that way. He became one of the world's favorite short-story writers and humorists. On friendly terms with Al Capone, Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth, Arnold Rothstein and William Winchell, he gained fame with his tales of the gambling, racing and criminal worlds. One of his best-known works is Guys and Dolls (1932). Runyon's style relied on Broadway slang, outrageous metaphors, and constant use of the present tense. He died in 1946, aged 62.]

    Other slang terms for a dollar include ace, bean (as in bean counter), boffo (abbreviation of box office, referring to money collected at theatres), bone, buck, bullet, case note, clam, coconut, fish, frogskin, lizard, peso, rock, scrip, simoleon, and yellowback.

    The heavy dollar coin was once known as an iron man, plug, sinker, or wagon wheel.

Globool (global digital money, very unique)

Boolb.it

Boolicio.us

Boolsh.it (if you really want to stand out, lol that will be 9 boolshits please)

Edit: Moobile or Mobile

I vote to keep Boolberry.

I've tried to think of a better name. The best I think I've come up with thus far is...

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondulix

Sponboolies -  :D - and that's equally terrible.

moolex (<- from moola, but molex is also known as a type of connector in electronics)
boolex

Asking someone if they except boolex will probably only get you a smackeroonie https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/smackeroonies   :D

Boolex?

BLX?

Bollocks!

 ;D

Boolbool (http://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbol)

Booloney

Invisibool

Inevitabool

Movabool

Bibool

Nobool

Jumbool

Viabool

Usabool

Boolnote

Boolbill

Boolshit

voted, i also think boolberry is worst name possible :)

Anonymous coin right?

pzzt or psst

That is my gift to you.

Actually, that's not awful.

Has a lot of the same qualities of boolberry - which I still prefer. Does it work in far off foreign tongues?

I fell asleep last night mulling over the name Breeze.

It's a breeze

Feel the breeze

I know, it's prolly shit.

At the end of the day I think changing the name for anything less than spectacular just puts the coin at more risk.

I can imagine the commercials with finger over lips, "Psssst...".

Psst is shorter than Boolberry. Psst associates with a secret. More of humanity knows what Psst means than they do Booleans.

Unless that is you want people to think it is cereal.

Actually, not a bad name.  BBR ticker should still work for this.

PS: I am not in favor of the type of poll in this thread for the name change.  The problem is you do not know who is voting.  Someone who does not like this coin would vote for the name that they (including sock puppets) think is least beneficial.   It wish there was a way to restrict the voting only to those that posted in the BBR thread prior to a certain date. 

I know, it's a real bitch when you try to spread Raspberry Pi on your toast, catches me out all the time.  ;)

Raspberry Pi were originally for geeks.

Food works as a computer name (e.g. Apple Mac) but probably not as a currency, unless you shortened the units to Pi, "that will be 4.99 Pis maman".

I agree BoolBerry is already adored by its investors. But there are lot of other people out there.

I do agree people might get a thrill out of saying, "I will pay you 22 Boolberries for that".

Today I registered swish.cash and egold.cc. Compare, "I will pay you 22 swish for that" or "I will pay you 22 egold for that".

First of all, I voted for keeping Boolberry, not because it's the most perfect name, but mostly because a name change comes with all kinds of issues.

IMHO, names like Breeze and Rune are way too generic. They're not quite the factual-boring of Word or Windows, but they lack any edge, they are not very memorable for this context. Even Bitcoin works in a breeze compared to traditional money transfer methods, and it has its built-in scripting (runes).

Psst or pzzt is a little more interesting, reminds me of ssh - which is equally descriptive, but also a proper abbreviation in the grand hacker tradition. However, it is also somewhat generic for anonymous coins.

Boolberry is this odd little name that doesn't mean anything that already exists, so it can stand on its own.

Psst is terrible; even worse than Rune.  I like 'HushMoney' or 'Ringtone' better. 

But I think we're keeping BBR.  Enough senior and hero members have ridiculed 'Rune' that even the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Marketing Dept would have gotten the message by now.

Yep, whoever came up with Vortex needs to be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

My 400 BBR worth on this debate ('coz I am such a whale ):

When I first heard of Boolberry, my initial reaction was "uggghhhhh" but it's grown on me since then, and now feels kind of cute and fluffy.
Of the other proposed names, only Rune works for me, so I propose:

Runeberry !

I'll get my coat......

The name has grown on my too. And it is catchy. And people do remember the Blackberry mobile phone.

However, 98% of humanity have no idea what a Bool or Boolean is.

Digiberry would be more explicit. It appears to be available.

I like Psst because it is short. And people know it means secret. I don't like how it sounds though as a name. "Pay me 5 psst for coffee".

I don't think it worse than rune. Rune has the wrong meaning, sounds like ruin. Who knows what a rune is? I would have to look it up in a dictionary.

Also, as I hinted in the main BBR thread, I suggest "Farn". Because every single creation of Zoidberg's is at least one Farn's worth. And that if anything is good news, everyone.

(I'll get my coat too, but don't forget to tip the veal, and try the waitress.)

Nope, hubris won the day and the announcement was just made - don't let on though, I don't think they want anyone to know........

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg8917877#msg8917877

I posted a plea (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg8918471#msg8918471).

Oh FFS.  CZ will rue the day he let some SEO marketing phony ruin his coin. 

Regardless, good job sussex; your honest efforts to make them see reason were admirable and irrefutable (except by executive fiat).

The hubris, it burns.  Rune's last remaining hope is that TFM and/or BCX succeed in only destroying XMR.  I'm off to dump and buy DarkNotes...

"Those whom the gods would destroy they first make proud." - Sophocles

I hope to be considered renaming. I don't like Rune!

Thanks, it was good fun  ;D

James - I found him a bit disappointing actually, I expected better debate from him.

Anyway, there may be trouble in Gielinor....

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg8918573#msg8918573

Fixed that for you :D

From the BBR thread:

ciphering

I add:

stirring  (the anonymity is rings which the users jumble or stir together)

But those are verbs. We really want a noun. Stirrings is I guess a noun, but odd.

I did register egold.cc. Gold is anonymous. I might be willing to donate this domain name. You would need to contact e-gold.com and make sure they agree. They have shown interested in gold backed bitcoin clone in 2013 (but I guess they since realized it can't be decentralized).

Some new brainstorms:

hoodini
sleight
iono  (shortened form of i dunno, but also sounds like a noun ion or ionosphere)

iono.org is available

 ::)

Edit:

My posts are being deleted regardless of how innocuous they are.

I vote CipherNote

i vote anonymint  ;D

why change name if it will get killed in few hours anyway?

Boolberry is an OK name, but I think we can do better.

I vote for

CipherNote a variation on CryptoNote.

I vote to keep the name Boolberry.
