The continued lifting of Monero to new heights in the voting list is inspirational!

To support your loyal community we decided to create an original and recognizable image. It needs a name, and it's up to you to come up with something suitably memorable for the guy!
Monero is now in the top 10 and your active voting will most likely put it in the lead sooner or later.

We hope so. Maybe it is even a skywalker-cat  

LUKE!

LUKE! To the MOON!

Name: Moonero?

Luke is supercat! Our cryptocurrency will be safe 

monero mascot looks great.

[darlidada]

The guy does look like Luke  to me, so my vote is for Luke the Moonshot.

What Luke are you exactly talking about? Cause for me it's the best reference for pokemon character (http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Luke)
So that's why i'm voting fo Luke.

Luke 'Monero' Moonshot

Luke 'Monero' Moonshot is a GREAT name

We're also working on a thin client for Monero that is FOSS so people can use it on phones, etc, but we seem to get no recognition for our accomplishments.

The fact that
we consistently are the most or second most traded crypto on Poloniex.com (I didn't check Bittrex) for weeks,
we receive congratulations from exchange owners on IRC,
we have truly notable people like Pietila or Maxwell being most interested in us,
apart from the usual petty trolls and newbies questions, the signal-to-noise ratio is particularly high (by Bitcointalk standards),
as well as numerous other reasons I would spare you the list,

All of these verifiable facts are worth more than weak unfounded accusations.

Plus, remember that happy people rarely say they are happy - the "negative bias". As well as our community management team (monero-extended account) doing a great job.

Haters gonna hate. Weaklings and newbies gonna whine. Greedy people gonna FUD and opportunists of any kind gonna short XMR. In the end,  only three things matter:
- Attack is a flattery. No one attacks a failed coin.
- Focus on what really matters. That is,  what you are the best at.
- Don't feed the troll. If a troll thinks we are "disappointed",  he will shout "touché"  and continue.

Also, here are some helpful links. Attack may be a flattery to you/me, but it does have an effect to a new interested person (and really does get to some people who have been here a while). These effects must be mitigated.

I won't fight FUD with FUD

FUD is commonly used against giant successful companies too

FUD can be fought with facts

People will say anything to make themselves look good

What is FUD anyways?

A better understanding of FUD

I think people should read a few of these from the start to finish then decide if XMR-Monero is a good investement:

Theres one more link if someone can post about the Collaboration Code Review from Github on all the fixes and tweaks to the code

That is just off the top of my head, we all know that Cryptonote coins are fairly young and there will be issues but nothing imo that is worrying.

Haters going to hate ..

Bitmonerod is maxing out my upstream bandwidth (800kbps).  Is there a way to limit this?

Between abysmal English writing skills and blind fanaticism I doubt it isn’t obvious to anyone what these guys are trying to achieve so hard. All in all, I don’t believe this abjection is worth the $500 those greedy bastards paid me, so here I submit to your court a list of the serfs who were under my submission, trying to impose a genuine interest in a lousy fork under my vigilant eye:

surfer43

Are you saying I am your sock puppet? 

Did the same pumpers who hired you the first time pay you to write this because they're now dumping?

Oh hi there, Dave! Or is it Carol who's posting today? How's your payment this month?

[uvt9]

I'll buy in when it hits .002 or lower. That's pretty much inevitable with this inflation.

Hey Darkcoin bag holder, how about your Monero buy order at 0.001 

I'd consider a few BTC worth at .001. It'll be there soon with this inflation.

I said or lower. Monero has a few fundamental problems, but it's still (a distant) second best. According to Anonymint CN coins are DOA, but like I said, it's a hedge.

I not really understand what you say but why do you include me?  I make few posts.  So what?  You seem to have problem.  Maybe you need seek some treatment.

You do realize that the price was 0.002 when you said you'll buy at 0.001, right ?

[Brilliantrocket]

I'd rather pay .01 once I know the bloat is fixed, than .001 when it's still unknown whether it can be solved.
Anonymint said it cannot, but I'll keep watching. Either way, once it drops I'll reassess the situation. I'm not just referring to the pool bloat, but the denomination bloat. Refer to Anonymint's post history.

yor sir, failed miserabely

smooth is one of the core devs of this project, pretty sure code won't get coded by some sort of PR company stuff and surfer43 operated for a long time the biggest pool. And a pool doesn't get maintained alone.

Just a lesson, if you want to troll in the future, you sholdn't use a new sockpuppet account and also you should, maybe, just maybe, inform yourself

[cAPSLOCK]

Perhaps I am too new to the altcoin universe but the level of actual FUD recently is fascinating to me.  There seems to be a few folks intent on damaging this projects reputation as much as possible and through some of the most outlandish means I could imagine.  The twitter account was fairly left field for example.

Do other alts get similar attention?
