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

[Jaroco]

It is too early to change the name! Darkcoin will get a lot of "negative" publicity. Lets not ruin this chance by changing the name! The name can be changed when everyone knows Darkcoin!

[Darkfella]

No my girlfriend will quit asking "how's the Dorkcoin"?

[spatula]

Hilarious, selling because of a rebrand to try to further adoption when the underlying core of the coin is left untouched. Hooray to all those stuck in your ways hoping for a small boys club.

Strange right? Who would buy a coin entirely based on its name anyway? I guess I should go make BlackjackAndHookersCoin immediately.

[etoque]

Dat panic, I got more darkcoin 

shame on who sell  over rebranding !

[GhostPlayer]

 We have to face it... this is PERFECT FUD territory...

 Sell sell sell , DRK is dead!!  Evan suggested a re-brand without zero specifics of if/what/who/when or why? .... DRK is dead !

 BAHAHAHAHAH I really really envy you BTC holders right now, seriously...

Blame Vertoe for selling part/all of her/his/its stash.

No, i blame the very very poor communication both internal and external.

Sure it took everyone by surprise as it seemed to have come out of left field but the idea is in the right place (trying to further adoption). It was only a matter of time and anyone thinking it was going to be viable as Darkcoin was fooling themselves. I'm fine with Vertoe and any others exiting. I wish them all the best.

This have non - sense

This is still darkcoin feature.

I think she's well known with Dash.

[Jaroco]

What about a poll?

1. Darkcoin
2. Let it be Darkcoin for this year.
3. Change it now.

I'm amazed. It's like breaking up with a beautiful girl just because she wants to change her name.

+1 vertoe is here from the start, it's not easy that he wants to be out. To be honest I respect him more than Evan.

[Morecoin Freeman]

I didn't follow the discussion. Could someone explain what is the reasoning behind the re-brand / name change? Thanks!

[Gladimor]

DashCoin is a big no-no. Sounds too artificial.

Agree.

Random members of the community aside, for core devs and other essential members of the team to have not been consulted is ludicrous.  This seems to have been a decision made by foundation board members and Evan exclusively.

And THIS is what I meant when I posted that Darkcoin has always botched PR and other public relations...

[etoque]

Ok this dump is being ridicule...

[LiteBit]

Like I said idiotic and this will be detrimental...way to fuck it up guys Darkcoin was something great

That is the point that has me upset the most, to make such a drastic(and frankly stupid) change such as this without even having a vote by the darkcoin community/foundation members. Way to go with the "decentralized" currency, Evan. Congrats with your new found dictatorship.

You have to remember Evan has a history of making decisions without votes. Wasn't it just a few short months back when he offered to buy ShadowCash without the community aware : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HrGDKKtr5cKKE8Iu7aOw1vXbVTGk9078sQaWlprZYrs/edit?usp=sharing

The total market cap of ShadowCash will be calculated (say for example $600,000), at which point that amount as a percentage of Darkcoin will be created (say for example $16,000,000). $600000/$16000000 will represent an additional 3.75% of Darkcoins market cap. At the merging date, Darkcoin’s market cap will be extended 3.75% to give the ShadowCash users the same value they had in ShadowCash.

Yep, he decided he could just change the rules and "add more coins". Wait a second, maybe he was really trying to by the ShadowCash name instead of the developers?!?! I guess digital cash "Dash" is somewhat the same worse similar.

I agree with this, the communication was poor. But IMO it's not that dramatic (the name change).
