[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[GhostPlayer]

Niche vs. mass adoption? No! Have the balls to go for both. Darkcoin is a brand already.

 Believe me dude, I DO get you.

 But being totally bananas, Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies, and I do see Darkcoin in that scenario as nº1 currency.
 
 But realistically I prefer to think of a better civilised future. I f*ckin´LOVE DRK, you know I do... but if you want to think global, you must... think global, and Darkcoin doesnt fit the bill. Not to mean it has to dissapear!!! At all !!

 We're techno-geeks. And while a name DOES loose its meaning and acquire its own, in this day and age, Darkcoin name could be a reason we're not growing as we projected 6 months ago, when we were already kicking serious ass in the crypto-sphere.

Adapt, adopt and improve.

Im seriously worried about all dumb people here have buy darkcoin because name and not innovation behind

Please dump,we need to go foreward,stop swinging in the stupid illogic geek sphere of cryptoworld and hit the real world

We buy for the innovation... but also the brand.....
EDIT: you all are talking about price points and where dark is when the next big speculation phase of crypto hasnt even started back up..when the bubble picks back up for BTC Dark will be exploding just as big

[oblox]

lol, if you want to dump your coins over a name change when the technology hasn't changed, that's your prerogative but you're fucking stupid. Go take your ball and go home.

[aleix]

You have a point. I'm still trying on the 'DASH' shoe. It's not a bad name,  but I fear that if we lose the name Darkcoin we risk losing our online identity with the likes of WIRED and THE GUARDIAN, who are keeping tabs on our progress. DARKCOIN is bold. DARKCOIN is highly searchable. And DARKCOIN is what brought us here, into the TOP 5 of all cryptocurrencies.

1 article in Wired and 1 mention in a small Guardian article + top 5 crypto -> This is nothing, mate.

We are talking about world adoption.

Please, we are the early of early adopters. Keep this clear. We have achieved nothing yet.

Well,nothing more to say.

Ok you make me laugh  

Edit: Market slowly react good to the news   Some people speak loud but does nothing

With something this important as the rebranding of the name it should have been discussed at least with the dev team internally,
now not only the community was hit with this unexspected news but also the dev team.

If the dev team is divided about this already, how do you exspect the community to stand as one man behind it ?

There many thread where community have talk about this on darkcointalk.

Darkcoin community is not 100% tied to bitcointalk thread...

So I'm a paid foundation member shouldn't we vote on this? It shouldn't be an Evan decision anymore. (No offense sir, I'm on the name fence as it is).

but isn't this what we signed up for?

[pookielax31]

Remember that aside from the 'insta-mine' line, the name of darkcoin is also used as a FUD/troll tactic. 

Seems to be a large influx of folk loving 'dash' , do I smell a trace of the bobsurplus crew trying a divide and conquer campaign?

Maybe not, although still wondering if this is a new FUD attack vector by the shills and trolls etc.



 

Not a fud attack.. just a dumb fucking idea

Still,dash is way better than dark about adoption,and its what we want.

If you want to baghold a cool coin where it goes nowhere ,sell your dash and buy XMR,they are professionnal on bag holding,and it seems 'cool' too  

We really need a rebrand to hit big market... Time to wake up

[Walter_S]

lol, comparing the name to washing deterigent is as stupid as comparing Apple to the fruit. It's the product(s) and service(s) underneath the brand that actually matter.

well washing coins with dash could be more than a synonym

 

 hahaha brilliant!!

 But vertoe is ultimately right. Its a case of direction. Niche vs mass adoption. We can be DASH or something else and still have Darkcoin. Though right now I can't see how.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke

Imagine if Coca Cola announced this morning that they were ditching the brand and name and going for pokey cola. What do you think Coke's market cap would have finished at today...?

Exactly, the brand is very valuable so it would have dropped drastically.

Evan just did the same thing this morning with Dark and the market cap moves by...err.... Nothing. doesn't even flinch!

Ergo - the 'Darkcoin' brand and associated 'DRK' has a value of approximately zero. Almost 100% of the market cap is made up of the core tech, rate of development, masternode network, adoption and community/network effect.

Does this mean we should ditch the name? Not necessarily... However, any cries over the potential damage it would do are vastly overstated in my humble opinion.

Does it mean we should change the name? Not necessarily... However, if the benefits of doing so increase the marketing potential and adoption potential of the currency then I don't see why that is a bad thing.

One thing I am certain about after today is that I don't want the devs wasting too much time over this issue, the market clearly doesn't think it's of any value at this stage so I'd rather the team keep focusing on keeping up the rate of development as this is ultimately what will help drive adoption of these new technologies and ensure we're at the forefront.

Why comparing Coca cola and darkcoin ? We have an 18m market which is damn low.Not an 315b market and over 100 years establish.... It make no sense,sorry.

Rebranding and Scalability:

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rebranding-and-scalability.4254/

After giving it some thought, I came up with a scalable architecture that supports billions of transactions per day.

Specifications of this strategy:
- The blockchain will automatically become much more anonymous than Bitcoin is.
- Fees per transaction will be very, very low. Let the micro-payment revolution begin.
- Zero-centralization
- Scalable to billions of transactions per day
- Requires a 2-tier network
- Very low blockchain bloat

All are talking about the rebranding but that above sounds like a killer feature of the level of InstantX to me !!!!

Always wondered how Bitcoin will proceed the next years if it gains more and more attraction and people useing it. The blockchain has it's limits.

p.s. My gut reaction to DASH was: "Ow cool!"
 But my second thought was... hmmm I don't know..
 I however like that it's short and along the line of Dollar, Euro which is money and that the "Coin" will be gone.

p.s.2 Dash is also the name of a plane.
