TLDR: No we won't change name. I am not stubborn, it's a plan. One person even dev not going to do that. Shorten it to Karbo like in carbon if you cant spell it.
'Karbovanets', or spelled as 'Karbowaneć' more like would spell our slavic neighbors in latin alphabet, is well known and recognizable word for money in Ukraine, it was historical currency. If the name is hard to pronounce for non-slavic users, well shorten it to Karbo like in carbon
it means Carving actually. A pound of Carvings
edit: a rod with carvings actually.
It has Ukrainian flavor like a lot of other local or national coins, but no one prohibit or discourage to use it worldwide. I have few Auroras for example
There is and there was a lot of Cryptonote coins thanks to it's starter but few of them did survive. We choose to be local coin as our niche and as tactical move because otherwise we will not be different from other coins appearing and disappearing. I hope this will give us some kick-start and support. And it looks so far like it did.
We already have general, globally targeted Cryptonote coins like mentioned XDN. I like XDN and borrowed a lot from their wallet. Though I think they renamed coin too many times. From the other hand, it mirrors their growth. I also remember proposals to change Monero name because it sounded too much latina like for some English speaking users. Where they are now with their jokes and jerks? Compete with Monero globally? No, thanks. We are like Ukrainian Monero
(In fact we are fork of Bytecoin of which Monero is fork).
Concerning logo, it is not logo, it is rather a symbol, sign, which is better for currency. We are not company to have logo. Currency doesn't have to have logo, but it has to have symbol, like $ or €. A simple, memorable, easy to write symbol. So we have symbol Ҝ - Ka with vertical stroke like in other currencies, and this one even is in Unicode
International contributions and users are very welcomed though. Any one wishing to write something in English, promote or participate somehow can do this and can reach me here in case of questions and I will do my best to help and provide all necessary info. I just had no time to make a multilingual website and after recent attacks I have to look for more secure solution than was initially planned. Nor have time to open Reddit in English and sit there. Anyone? There is a lot of documentation to be written or translated in Ukrainian and we have no full time devs and team members. The team is very tiny in fact.
