I like the name "XC". It is a simple and plain name, like "BTC". X-Coin is the best. X stands for mysterious, like every single transaction will be when sent to people. Mysterious transactions that can't be figured out Get ready for landing at 0.025/ $13 per coin.

I m disappointed the renaming has been decided without any further discussion. I would have recommended not to be so restricted about the naming of this gem and concentrate more on an open discussion without enforcing an early decision. But i couldn t even finish my post until it was done. A little too fast i think with a little too less consideration.
To my mind "XC" does well as an abbrevation but as a name it s not working. It s not fluent (how could it be without a vowel) and it would be a rather bumpy word in every conversation. Under marketing aspects this coin definitely has an unsexy name. If you don t care about marketing that might not appear to be problem but a coin with this success story needs a professional branding. Everything else would be irresponsible.
Big problem: the X. If you stick to this letter you have a very limited choice as there are not that many words beginning with it, right now "Xeno" or "Xent" (oh no, reminds me of Cents so forget it ^^ ) comes to my mind but it still sounds that little bit too fierce because of the sharp "X". The other proposals, with all respect, sound as artificially constructed as mine because it s just hard to find a (compound) word with this capital letter.
I would have recommended to restart with new ideas, focus on the main features/benefits of this coin and find a fitting brand with no restrictions to its current naming.
We all are more and more getting the idea of how big this one could be. This one definitely would have needed a professional designer with a relevant skill set to ensure a proper brand identity. This premature decision might reflect the current rush but it might not be the best for the coin's future marketability and competitivness.
I couldn't disagree more. First, it was unanimous that people wanted XC, just look a the reaction when it was changed. This means that the dev made the right call and listened to the community. Second, I have no problem coming up with marketing ideas already. Also, people on Twitter have taken note of XC and like it. Anyways the change has been made , we need to move on and develop the community as well as get projects going. With all respect for your work, the brand identy of this coin has not been given sufficient consideration.

And Dev, you really need to update the OP with coin supply. I've had to correct several people today in our IRC channel and on this thread under the impression that the total supply will be around 10m or 33m, when instead it is around 6-7m XC.
Thanks.
i really what more ppl confused and miss the boat. little evil creature ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Guys do you realise the significance of us debating on the name of the coin? Meanwhile in other threads, there is fighting, fud and madness. And us? "What name do we need to give our coin" We got first class tickets to the moon and beyond.

Unfortunately you cannot say this about XC.

The only problem with #XC on twitter is that you get a ton of cross country tweets.
Another marketing point.

BTC is also known as XBT to be compatible with financial shit - why cant X11 be XC then ? X= 10 .. its a 10 out of 10 coins and going to hit the roof... XC it is. enough already .

"What name do we need to give our coin" We got first class tickets to the moon and beyond.Yes, actually i realised the significance. But i can understand that you don t care about the name of the rocket ship that brings you to the moon. As long as it does its job. This all reminds me a little of our government making crucial decisions while people are going crazy during big sport events. No one cares but for the next goal. I don t like that style especially when the decisions to be made are so important.

Agree. But maybe they know it won't matter. Maybe they don't have long term plans. Hope I'm wrong though.

Also, I'm not part of the team just to make that clear. I believe that judging from the future roadmap the dev has laid out, he has future long term plans. Edit: ^ Well there you go
