This is a brilliant coin by someone who knows the crypto industry. One small suggestion. As pos is developed and released, all will agree the tech is superior and will allow long term growth. However, 1 thing has bothered me about this great coin. Its name. Niro is not marketable in the real world. To illustrate: suppose you see a piece of art on the wall in an art gallery 50 years ago. Someone tells u its a Picasso painting. u say: this painting sucks. Fast forward to present day, same scenario. Someone says you are looking at a Picasso. U say, Man thats ugly, but i want it! Why? The name adds so much value. We live in a world where branding and names are absolutely as important as what you are buying into. As you move into marketing efforts, the tech will stand out, but people will always feel in the back of their minds this: Niro is a stupid name that will be hard to adopt in the real world. This is my humble opinion, but feel it will become important as this coin grows over the next year. Cheers

Think rebranding in simple terms. U have a good answer that makes sense, but of course nexus will be out to inc. or LLC. Examples of simplicity: Cisco simply shortened San Francisco, Asus liked Pegasus from Greek mythology and simply dropped the Peg, hotmail liked the mail part first but decided on hotmail because it has HTML in the name which its language is written in. Etc, etc. The point is: It has to mean something to the owner that's catchy and that sticks and resonates with the public in a hip or cool way. Niro, although not bad, is not this. It reminds us of a old Roman emperor, although the spelling is different. Think simple, current to our times, hip, cool, trendy. But most important: something that means something to you personally that suits your business plan
just vamping a little bit on the nexus niro name........
The nexus part sounds right, and the dictionary definition is spot on. There are a lot of things using the name nexus: google has a popular phone & tablet of the same name, the replicants in Blade Runner were the nexus line, star trek generations took place in the nexus, Henry Miller's 3rd book of the sex trilogy was called nexus, and so on...but even so, no other crypto-currencies.
I like alliteration as much as anyone, but the niro part never seemed quite right to me. Even though the spelling is different it evokes images of an emperor fiddling away while the empire is in flames, not good for a crypto-currency.
what about "neuro" for the token? It evokes something alive and responsive, and neural networks are the basis of intelligence.
the alliteration stays. and it sounds close enough to niro that all the rebranding work you've done will not be lost.
NEXUS - as the official name for the project and pending incorporation this is locked in
NIRO - for the currency this is becoming less and less appealing to me as time goes on and it's not very attractive marketing wise
We could have a vote to decide if KK & Viz agree to a name change if that's what the majority wants
As far as name ideas go someone previously suggested: NEURO
I would like to suggest: FLUX
Anyone else with ideas for the currency name?

EDIT: the first name has recently been taken
