Some members of our good BitMonero community decided to rename the coin and even did it after sneaky voting in their own IRC chat.
It's time to make public voting and to listen to the people!
Choose the name you like or offer something else.

24 hours to make it clear.

It was #bitmonero by that time. Hardly "their own IRC chat" :/.
Confirmation bias is dangerous. I recommand factual data instead.

The only one that has problem with the name is tft and it wouldnt be a sneaky poll for him if he was ever online watching what is going on with the coin instead of abandoning it.

This is kind of silly... anyone can make a bunch of profiles on here and vote it one way or the other.

If TFT wants to continue bitmonero as a separate fork he can easily do so by introducing some hardfork change into his repo.  monero-project repo will continue on its own. So far I have only introduced softforking changes, and both our clients are compatible with the network, though his is out of date.

What is the fair way?

I'm not sure. I was never in favour of renaming the client itself from bitmonero. I wanted the daemon and protocol to be referred to as Bitmonero while naming the project name and coin itself Monero. Hence in the repo it's being maintained as "bitmonero".

Bitmonero is a good name for a client or protocol, monero is a good name for a currency.

Since people like both names, is this not a reasonable compromise?

Anyone can make the second announcement of the fresh coin.
Anyone can make optimized miner and pretend to be saints.

I'm sorry I've been maintaining the bitmonero/monero fork and haven't introduced any hardfork changes?

Hmm I don't know why Monero folks are getting on the defensive here with couple of Bytecoin faggots trying to FUDge. Don't worry about responding to these trolling faggots who are happy to merge mine 80% premine and spewing their propaganda. Bitcoin folks are watching/mining/trading MRO happily.

Why do I have the feeling that closely before the end of the 24 hours period, they will coincidentally be a lot of BMR votes?

Maybe because there was never an actual poll on the name, only take-over-the-control operation.

BitMonero is an absolutely awful name.  This may be intended as an attack on the coin.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.  Give a man a Poisson distribution and he eats at random times independent of one another, at a constant known rate.
