It really anoys me how almost every alt has "coin" on the end, its majorly overused. I dont mind silk, but im not super fond of it either. I think we need a 1 word name that doesnt have coin in it, like nxt, monero, ripple, quark etc. A name is a first impression, and having coin on the end just makes it seem like its another stupid alt. We need to set ourselves apart from the shitcoins.
I feel like the word coin should be dropped. If you simply call it Silk, I think it could work well. Especially considering the implications that silk used to be a commodity people would use for goods exchange centuries ago.
