Dashcoin (DSH) is a cryptocurrency started on July 5, 2014. Dashcoin is a fork of Bytecoin and uses the unique algorithm CryptoNite.




i foresee indeed a future conflict here

They already acquired the rights to usage from a previous post should they want to go in that direction.

[pookielax31]

P&G is a mega power and are very protective they deff will slap you with a cease and desist letter... so i doubt you guys will ever pull off that name...Stick with dark.. if you build it..they will come

[Delita Heiral]

I get trying to claim a single word of the language to identify the brand via basic brain-shaman occulture, but dash is pretty fucking boring.

Pick something else.

[oblox]

Did you all invest in this coin because of the name or the underlying technology? Really. If it's the latter, quit the fanboyism and start trying to capture as much market share and user adoption as possible. Something that will not happen with the existing name. If we were already established, trying to go after the remaining people turned off by the name Dark wouldn't make sense, but we don't have those people.

[Excuseme]

when i read the post about rebranding i was kinda hoping this would be an very early 1st of april foolsday joke.

So we are going for a third rebranding in what ? less then 16 months ? i sure hope you guys know what you are doing and
have really thought this through because with a rebranding you will have so much lost already (name recognition for a start)
and its very unsure you achieve what your hoping to achieve with the name Dash. And to be honest i'm not getting any vibe
from the name Dash so i'm not too thrilled about that part either.

I agree

Let me just say who I am,

I would be considered a Darkcoin "whale"(over 50k DRK), and I've been alongside this coin for ages, since back in March, 2014. Darkcoin's been through some hard, controversial times, but it's pulled through and reached new heights in the crypto world. I recently saw a proposal for a name change(About the 5th time I've seen these talks). All I can say is, I'm fucking tired of it, I'm tired of the fuckups and the changes. Let Darkcoin be the way it is and improve upon Masternode anonymity and instant transactions and whatever other exciting new additions that will come to be. Darkcoin's entire being and recognition as a currency lies in it's name. I myself especially like the name darkcoin because of how powerful it sounds by mouth alone, something that goes against the ever transparent system that's out there. Changing it to something as shitty as "Dash" is utter fucking bullshit.

If Darkcoin continues on this stupid path I'm out, I'm done, and I'm gonna sell my coins and call it quits with this coin. Too much bullshit.

Dash is a currency for Daesh ?

[the-baker]

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, for English native speakers, "apple" the fruit and "Apple" the company might sound the same, but the washing detergent is called "Dash" globally. Also notice the capitalization: Dash the washing detergent and Dash the currency vs. apple the fruit and Apple the company

Apple is called Apple globally, what's your argument?

My point is:

- Apple is a global brand owned by Apple Inc. apple is an English noun for a certain type of fruit.
- Dash is a global brand owned by Procter & Gamble.

When Darkcoin wants to be the global brand named "Dash", there will be be at least some confusion.

Also, the point of my post was to make a different suggestion, namely D-Cash. It makes for nicer wordplay (D-Day!) and is very hard to mis-interpret

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.

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

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. Let's hope this is just our 'New Coke' moment.

This. It's not that we have to discuss it here, looks like evan already prepared everything.

Only got 10k but yea bump this

We must contact The Guardian for to change darkcoin to dash...

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/06/tips-tricks-anonymous-privacy

Darkcoin is an open source digital cryptographic currency based on the Bitcoin software code. It is intended to be a more private version of Bitcoin (which typically prides itself on its transparency) and it claims to be the world’s first anonymous cryptocurrency. Finding merchants that accept Darkcoin can be tough (Darkcoin has its own merchant directory which you can browse here http://tinyurl.com/qzo398u) but when you do, your financial transactions are well hidden and, in theory, entirely anonymous.


NOOOOOOOOOOO, it's DASSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I don't use streets.

 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.

[etoque]

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

[pookielax31]

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

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.
