It's exactly for doing stuff like this that the name change would be useful.  People who are already invested in SMAC are exceptions.  If it is to become more of a financial/trading tool or instrument then we need to attract money from as many people as possible.

Like it or not and I speak from both experience and education in this area of human psychology, if you have a frivolous or jokey name for anything relating to money (where people are by default risk averse) then you run the risk of excluding a huge number of "normal" (i.e. non crypto) people which would be required to take this to the next level. 

In this regard a more boring name like SMART (or something equally benign) that is still easy to remember and without negative connotations would be less likely trigger any unconscious bias against it. 

Please guys think about this more deeply and don't think about what name appeals more to you (you are already here), think about what kind of name would appeal to your parents, friends, doctor, optician, teacher, postman, librarian - anyone who currently would not think about cryptocurrencies but in the future might be looking to alternatives to the currently broken banking/pensions/investment tools. 

It is these regular people who will make such things true successes and it is for those people that a renaming/rebranding would be required.

I'm only pushing this because I think it will benefit us all in the long term and right now it would be comparatively painless.

I think any difficulty now would be worth it in the long run and would allow people to take the concept more seriously once it does get big.  Although I don't agree with the Dark renaming to Dash (which I think is a worse name) it seems to have been accomplished without any major issues and by comparison SMAC is embryonic.

Why isn't this posted on the twitter feed?

Well that's why I'm suggesting discussion on it.  My personal problem with it is that it sounds unprofessional.  You may spell it out but most people are going to pronounce it "smack".

I don't see how something that relates to hitting someone or to heroin has a nice ring to it and I doubt anyone who is interested in serious investment would either. 

Also changing a coin name is pretty easy particularly when it is still small - numerous coins have done it already. 

Anyway I don't want to ram my opinion down people's throats but would appreciate some real input on why SMAC is or isn't a good name.

Whether we like it or not branding (including the name and logo) is vitally important - anything less than professional will be severely hampered in it's success.  Why handicap something in this way when you don't have to?

I think the name SMART is a good compromise in that it retains the first three letters and doesn't have any potentially negative connotations.

Would probably be best to change to a more professional sounding name before this gets more attention - would be good to get the community opinion on this?  "SMART" (Social Media, Advertising and Related Technologies) - is one possibility.

<Username>/Library/Application Support/SMAC

Where Username is your actual account username and yes it is the same for all coins - they are all in Application Support unless you manually move them.  I normally drag the Application Support Folder into the Finder sidebar (which creates a shortcut there) so I can easily access it.

Hopefully we've reached peak dumb.

Been away for a few days and there is huge amount of posts to catch up on.  Was there any announcement on the OS-X wallet?  Also could someone kindly point me to the official (non-hacked/compromised) windows wallet please?

Nice:)

It's a nice site but it is rather concerning that they won't allow passwords that have symbols in them or are longer than 20 characters.

Like anyone cares what you believe or don't believe;)

It really says something about how mature you are and how much free time you have that you are still here merely for trolling purposes.  

I was one of the few people who decided to invest in your coin because I believed you were a decent person.  

Unfortunately your continued childish antics and inability to set a personal feud aside means it is highly unlikely I will make the same mistake again.  

Now I feel embarassed both for you and because at one point I believed in you.

If you actually had any maturity or intelligence you may have actually considered the point that some of your own potential investors may have invested in this coin.  

You could have risen above your feud with Boxxa but instead chose to behave in a way that served your own ego.  

However feeding your own ego at the expense of others comes at a cost.

Unfortunately the only reputation that has suffered is yours.  

It really is very sad.

Agreed:)

This is very cool.  I have a few old Raspberry Pis lying around - never really found anything exciting to do with them - might just get hold of RP2 just for fun so I can try this out!

I've truncated your post to save space and repetition but you are absolutely correct in everything you say. 

Sadly it seems the crypto world is filled with silly 12 year olds (whether chronologically or mentally) who have no idea how companies, business, stocks/shares or indeed the real (adult) world work. 

They buy up coins when they peak in price expecting a continuous rapid rise in price that will make them rich overnight.  When this doesn't happen they cry scam and panic sell their coins for a fraction of the price and move on to the next coin that takes their fancy to do the same. 

Nowhere else do people expect companies to give them daily or multiple daily updates - imagine what would happen to the stock markets if people dumped their shares or cried scam just because the CEO of the company didn't give them a daily update or respond to their pathetic demands to be mollycoddled.

As I've said before if you don't have the brain to educate yourself about how these things work, or indeed you don't have the balls for the risk taking that ANY investment takes, YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN CRYPTOCURRENCIES.

This is a new area of investment and is still very much like the wild west and if you don't understand what you are doing stay out because all you are serving to do is ensure that you lose money through your childish behaviour on places like BTCtalk and worse than that you actually cause other people to lose money too.

Either man up or fuck the hell off and hide your money under your mattress!

I suspect it is a coin control issue and right now they are pretty busy due to a number of issues. I think they destroyed their wallet for another coin and didn't have a backup - resulting in them requiring outside help to work on a fix.  Either way it is not exactly reassuring and I can imagine your frustration.  Let's spread the word about this so that they do fix it and advise people to avoid using CCEX until the issues are resolved (although I doubt I would ever use them again given what I've heard lately).

That's not right.  The whole point of the "just for staking" tickbox is to ensure that the password is required for any other transactions otherwise it's pointless.  If it is fully unlocking the wallet then there is a bug that needs to be fixed.

Due to continuing health issues I'm going to have to put Mana on the back burner for the time being (I haven't been able to do much anyway).  If anyone with coding/programming expertise would like to help out please get in touch as I would like to keep Mana alive properly rather than just surviving.

Over the last couple of days I've only received about 40% of what I should get.  So it is definitely there.

I know but patience is hard:)
