RE: Acronym, probably not necessary, but I think there are some good ones out there. I was thinking of ones beginning with "Currency of . . . " or "Cryptography over . . . ":
Currency of Ghosts
Currency of Good
Cryptography over Greed
Cryptography over Govt
etc.
But, again, I'm not sure an official acronym is really needed (marketing wise, I kinda like all the possibilities in that the coin could be many things for many folks (this spirit might be the hat-tip to doge)). Seems like there's a lot just to "cog" being shortened form of incognito. The public label would be cog - like the physical object - but what lies beneath/in the shadows/or if you take a 30,000 ft view look is the full story: a currency with mad privacy traits. I can see a logo in my head of the word "cog" in bold letters and and very faintly and immediately adjacent on each side of "cog" are the rest of the letters making up incognito - incognito). The idea is that currency's name mirrors its utility - its hidden in plain sight. But even having said that, I still just like cog and cogs the best.

+1 Cogs [COG]  That's the logo for Cyclists of Greater Seattle, but you get the idea... Should be an acronym too...like Cryptocurrency of Great Stealth, or something. interesting. keep talking . . . . |

Darkbits makes me think of a girl's "naughty bits". What about DarkPay?
"Dark" and "Pay" are not original terms. A name change would require something all together different. Using "coin" or "pay" or "base" or [insert other over used term] is no bueno, imho. "Dark" is too political, especially when govts want to ban encryption and stuff. Keep it fresh and light, let the features speak for themselves - it will be easy to figure out. Make the coin inclusive of everyone, not just appealing those who prefer to work in the shadows. Also, the name needs to be a noun - incognito doesn't quite fit. For example, "you owe me .5 incognitos" - it just sounds weird. "Cogs" on the other hand, that's a possibility and there's natural a logo possibility with word, and it speaks to industry and commerce - it could be a secret/unsaid short-form of incognito, but incognito by itself is too political (google image search results for "Cog" - https://www.google.com/search?q=cog&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS503US503&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiSjYXrr4bKAhVSzWMKHTFsAgkQsAQIKA&biw=1877&bih=870). Again, just my opinion - this is a fun line of discussion. Looking further into the term "Cogs" - http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.aspMan, that's such an obvious use of cogs (although its an acronym) and I totally didn't think of it. Doh! Anyway, that also works and would add to the mystique of the name IMHO. |

one thing I thought about, is that if the blockchain tech & wallet tech are interesting enough to some big hands (big companies) there could always be a rebrand of doged to something more professional. I really like this community, and the doged moniker, but it's more or less up to the developer if he ever decided to go that route- if anything like that ever happened or was discussed.
in any case, this coin is going places, that's for sure. i have taken a few mill off the marker. great job dogedev. keep it up!!
A couple of times I have suggested looking at a name change - but the DOGED community did not get behind it. Either way I am happy as DogedDev is a Legend! I've suggested in the past to change the name to just DOGED specially after Palmer left Dogecoin the project is not what it was and many think of DogecoinDark as a spin-off while DOGED has surpassed it imo and taken a completely different path. Unfortunately many see DogeCoinDark name as a satire and have zero knowledge of what it really is! DOGED is a great coin great features and just keeps on expanding virtues very few coins in all of cryptoworld can say they achieved. Hello DOGED community. have not posted in a while, but i do think that maybe the word Doge in the name of this awesome coin is holding it back a little. Some people must think that Dogeanything is just a doge spin off, and not even attempt to look at the coin for that reason alone. but those of us that have been here since DOGED launched know how active this Dev is, how helpful this Dev is, how dedicated this Dev is, put's other Dev's to shame  But i thought i might add my 2 cent's worth with a few names. TORNETCOIN COVERTCOIN HUSHCOIN DARKNETCOIN UNTRACECOIN Some way of letting people know that this is a much more discreet coin for those who like that fact. but also to let people know that this coin has an active,helpful,dedicated Dev. And a very upbeat and positive community to boot. DCYPHERCOIN as mentioned above sounds pretty cool. I do think that marketing plays a big factor in the success of any coin, and marketing of a coin really depends on the community "US" .Maybe if we all come up with some possible marketing ideas we can get this coin really noticed. Idea 1 maybe start a new thread about ACTIVE,HELPFUL,DEDICATED DEV'S and their coins. that would narrow things down to a small handful of Dev's, and of course our Dev would get mentioned as number 1   again just my 2 cents worth Not bad suggestions for name, but I would suggest leaving "COIN" out of any name. " scrypt" the name and algo sounds like the historical "script" money of the American revolution ( http://www.kamron.com/liberty/colonial_script.htm) Not sure about scrypt as it might be confusing. Scrip might work. Look at the definition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrip and focus on the modern uses section, particularly on Community Issued Scrip. Likewise, consider this quote from that wikipedia entry: " Scrips have been created for payment of employees under the truck system, and for use in local commerce at times when regular currency was unavailable" The second clause is interesting in the context of the bitcoin blocksize debate. DOGED could be thought of as a substitute for btc when transactions can't process or even for everyday transactions too small to travel directly on the btc blockchain. Could be a nice hook for DOGED. Of course, "Scrip" also can have a negative connotation in that some companies treated scrip as a form of IOUs when they were cash-poor or just greedy. Also, in the early days, when railroads were being built etc, scrip could sometimes could only be spent at a company's own store - the same company that issued the scrip (a little shady, sorta similar to some small block + lightning proponents). |

Naming the coin scrypt would lead to nothing but confusion with the algorithm.
Dcypher sounds kinda cool but not sure it'd actually fit the project.
Alternatively drop the entire "dogecoindark" moniker and become simply "doged" feel free to keep a big dog theme but it takes a slight step away from the whole dogecoin vibe.
If there is a rebranding (and I'm a fan of not using the word coin in the name), IMHO such an effort would benefit by focusing on a name that will be widely understood as signifying a currency/store of value for everyone and not a currency/store of value solely for use by nerds or privacy geeks ( privacy etc should obviously be a core/distinguishing feature - it just doesn't need to be communicated along with the name if it risks turning people off since encryption etc is becoming overly politicized right now). |

I have been holding on to my coin request for DOGED at Poloniex for a looooooooooong time (thought it would be better to deploy later to help balance the early rush of requests). I finally submitted it the other day. Its all about the Dev's reliability, yo. Others that trade coins at Poloniex should consider requesting as well if they haven't done so already and if they'd like to trade DODGED on that platform.
Keep up the good work.

Side note1: I would be totally be o.k. if Dorian were Satoshi.
Side note2: Rereading the Newsweek article now after having read Wired and Gizmodo is interesting. I can't conclude McGrath found the wrong guy.
Side note3: Comparing the community reactions to Newsweek and Wire/Giz, I wonder if there are unique risks to the media associated with doxxing Satoshi that arise from whether Satoshi is a bad or good guy/gal. For instance, with Newsweek, the story was credible initially, but the community was outraged at McGrath for doxxing the guy (set aside for a minute that Dorian denies being Satoshi and is suing - I sorta think that that is a rational position and strategy for Satoshi to take if he still wants to be anon, fwiw). However, there was a lot less outrage at the media with the recent attempt at doxxing - there was intrigue and some clowning of the reporters involved who clearly failed to fact-check a few things, but nobody is publishing their personal info like they did with McGrath. I think this is best explained by the fact that the community seems believe Craig is more of a hoaxer than a credible Satoshi candidate at the moment (but there is no way to test this theory at the moment).

Many possibilities. What GAW were a vehicle for a MTGOX getaway? Penguins in both.  Wasn't there a bankruptcy case in Texas RE: MTGOX? |

So do the supercomputers exist or not?
This is what I'm most interested in.
I guess it had to be proven of its existence otherwise I don't see how it could've been ranked 15/17/? out of 500. Paycoin Prime Controllers confirmed!  Timelines of events are interesting. "Come on, give me those tax refunds, I'm gonna have PYCs worth $20 each any second, plus I own a fleet of prime controllers and my biz partner (and his investment bank backers) and I are going to do a deal with this alt-coin payment processor, amazon, wal-mart, etc." Would be wild if true. How much financial backing did Gaw represent Paycoin/Paybase had? 100M, 200M Fraser probably doesn't have the much in personal wealth and also probably couldn't just hand over that much investor/client money without talking to partners at Cantor not biased by hype (like an investment committee for his group w/i Cantor)? Maybe they (Cantor and/or Fraser) acted as a trustee for CSW? Many possibilities still exist with this story overall (and beyond the GAW fun), I don't think anything can be concluded 100% yet. |

OK, so I'm planning on making a GAW/Homero/Paycoin themed Christmas card on Shutterfly to send to all the dipshit co-conspirators I have addresses for (Carlos, Stu, Mordica, Kelley, etc.).
Any hilarious ideas anyone wants to share?
Add this To make your holiday more cheery i have included 1 paycoin (xpy) in paper wallet format. please feel free to cash this in for $20 floor and have a drink or 2 on me. Include some xpy paper wallets in the cards and have paul and suchmoon sign it. maybe paul could use his unique art skills to spruce up the paper wallet background and do it spoof like amazon with gift from homero . then watch blockchain and see if they move the 1 xpy (thats if the xpy blockchain hasnt forked again). thoughts? Good idea but let's make it backwards. The card should say "a $1000 gift for you" and when you open it there is a 50 XPY paper wallet and Coinstand URL. Totally doing this. I will report back before Christmas.  We'll all be waiting on the edge of our seats, just don't give your staff the night off on the night of the big announcement (xmas eve). Other matter: Was there a conclusion about tankjnr of Gaw? Interest possibility: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1281318.msg13192163#msg13192163 |

I have to admit, this guy is a genius scammer. He's like the satoshi nakamoto of bitcoin scammers.
How many hours/years did he spend crafting blog posts, pretending to have a supercomputer, forging documents, filming videos, creating bogus companies, doing bogus business deals, obtaining fake certificates, making bogus phone calls?
Can anyone think of a more legendary and elaborate scam in the bitcoin world?
Yes. It could be - but I'm not sure how likely - that this is a simple Ashley Madison extortion for btc. It would be genius if the hackers found Satoshi in the trove of data. I believe there are some old posts of satoshi's talking about using BTC for porn, so Ash Madison might be right there in the scope of his interests. In a way, I think this is the simplest explanation for what is going on - its just too convenient and stupid (risky behavior) at the moment (I mean, csw seems to have been gone from his house in Au for a while - I sorta think he knew the law was coming and he made a getaway plan that put focus on the other side of the world). |

could be that satoshi it's joking with us by making us believe that he is another person, or something like that?
is this done to increase somehow the trust in bitcoin and to permit a easily increase in price? maybe i'm just paranoid...
Could also be some hardcore game theory action: fraudster (assuming that's what's going on here) knows who the real satoshi is and publicly claims he (the fraudster) is satoshi to put the real satoshi in a tough spot - either say 'no, i'm satoshi' or take on the risk of a media crapstorm. |
