Thanks. I wanted to make sure I fully understood the operation of Darksend without using real coins. I guess I'll have to wait. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Try it you can't loose coins. Its a wonderful experience, it basically works almost perfect. A few glitches, but you never loose your coins (except for the odd denomination fee)

Apparently Evan the dev bought the rights to dashcoin and its name, substantial amount of money too. Sounds like a lot of trouble to go through in order to use a certain name. Kind of strange. Not strange at all is the same as buying an older domain name because it would be better for SEO. In this case buying a small project with a suitable name gives the dev team proper rights over the name and is the right thing to do too. The previous owner was properly compensated, so everyone happy. I guess if he thought the name DASH was truly amazing it might make sense to go through that trouble and cost.

There seems to be some misunderstanding about the re-branding effort that I would like to clear up.
We've been watching the various conversations pop up about re-branding since the inception of the foundation. When the name "Dash" was recommended by the community, we saw there was a decent amount of support for the name. It also represented what we're attempting to accomplish with Darkcoin, something fast and private as cash. It also sounds very friendly and works as a verb.
After this the foundation started doing some research and found a patent application for the name "Dash". If this patent application was approved it means we couldn't use the name at all. Instead of approaching the community at this point and saying we were thinking about rebranding, we decided to hire a patent attorney to challenge this. We were hoping that we would be able to clear up all of the legal work before approaching the community about the name.
To challenge the patent application required that we purchase the rights to Dashcoin. We need to be able to show prior use of the name "Dash" in order to be able to challenge the application. At this point we could have approached the community with what we were doing and asked the community to fund it, but this would have created a good deal of uncertainty in the market. Instead, I funded the purchase of Dashcoin out of my own pocket, which cost a substantial amount of money. The purpose of this was incase the trademark challenge didn't work, we just would bury the project and leave it be.
If it wasn't for the patent application, this would have been much more transparent. But we were trying to protect the interests of the investors of the coin and not create unnecessary uncertainty.
explanations given, when will we have a decision?

I am increasingly happy about it as well. At least no one can say it's a boring life being in this coin. I like advancement and solving problems, and the branding was a huge one. More than anything it will wake people up and draw a lot of attention to the roadmap IMO. (+ I just made a tidy gain on my Monero from all the chaos, now realised ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )

agree "Darkcoin" was an obstacle for adoption and media attention. if you decide to rebrand you have to do it as early as possible.

I figured I would just ride all of this out, but I guess I should buy some coins too. Another 1k USD to DRK incoming.

Thanks for the clarification. I for one am totally on board for the name change! What is the estimated time frame for the actual change?
