It's a childish name for a high tech product, just like "google" or "twitter". It has a weird technical term "bool", just like "bit" in Bitcoin. The "berry" part is just unbearable in a respectable, established brand, just like "burberry".

I'm just looking forward to trying to keep a straight face through the congressional hearing

In fact I would argue that the vast majority (all?) of people who won't invest because of the name, wouldn't have anyway.

Some names are deal killers, a credit card service recently had to change its name... they were called ISIS. Boolberry just makes people think it is a bigger joke than Doge and replace bool with Dingle and it is a play on crassness that is not worth owning.

If Blackberry phones and Raspberry Pi single board computers are ok, Boolberry should also be fine. MoneyHoneyPenny was much more entertaining

Thanks, it's working now  There was only a small complaint about missing bignum.node upon startup, but that was an easy thing to fix with "npm install bignum". Hello, i had same problem at first it needed async, then bignum, I sort this out, but now I'm not able to install multihashing at all. I tried nodejs v0.1, 4, 6, 7, different versions of npm, but any of those won't work. Can you help me with that? cheers nodejs 7 already out? man people weren't exaggerating about the 6 months life cycle of javascript frameworks I found some pre-release somewhere it probably failed with some message about a library missing. probably have to install boost libs. i think the package was libboost1.55-all-dev

How about we rename Boolberry to Boolcoin?
Bool reprents the 0 or 1. It is more or less like Bit.
If you say one Bit, it would be a 0 or an 1.
If you say one Bool, it would be a 0 or an 1 as well.
Does it make sense?
Are you fucking serious?  We have gone through this name-change trauma twice already, it was hugely contentious and ultimately pointless. It was BBR's "Brexit" moment - "Boolberry" won on both occasions, it's settled. The name is fine, leave it alone. Life's too short.

The fact the topic never dies is proof enough the name sucks.... or maybe it is proof enough the name is awesome..... nah it sucks

Anytime people are engaged in a positive conversation regarding a product it's good for that product. If the name Boolberry is a catalyst for conversation regarding Boolberry then the name itself brings awareness to the project.

If I may summarize, the alternately provocative and evocative Boolberry appellation is a work of art. Additionally, the memorable nomenclature is antifragile, having been ruthlessly attacked and experiencing one or two near-death experiences only to emerge stronger than before. I propose we call "Dingleberries" the folks who insist on futilely pounding sand to effect a name change, in recognition of their Not-this-shit-again.jpg producing proclivities.
