Did you guys know that the dollar note is in fact named "Federal Reserve Note" ?
So, people call their money "dollar" because that's what they called their money for centuries...
But it's not the official name of the money, which is FRN.
What I want to say with this is.... I see the name Darkcoin as nothing more than the official project name.
Project goal: trying to create a fully functional anonymous online ecash.
I am confident that if Darkcoin becomes mainstream and is used by the masses, a new name for this currency / payment-method will arise to describe the new layer on top of the underlying protocol called Darkcoin.
Much like people talk about the WorldWideWeb (www) and not HTTP, although the latter is the underlying protocol for www.
So we should really not care about names, people will call their money whatever they like, ... something will emerge, and the masses will have the last word.
What if in 10 years large parts of spanish speaking south americans use Darkcoin protocol but prefer to call the currency obscuro, or "scuro"?
Why not? It's the peoples money and they decide what to name it and how to use it.
That's why I don't agree with:
But, this is Evan's baby, he wants to keep the name, end of story!
Evan will always be seen as the creator of Darkcoin, but he can't claim ownership of it.
Darkcoin belongs to everybody who wants to use it. Or else it's useless. Period.
