OK, it seems clear no interest

I didn't say I had no interest in the whole supernetwork thing, that does seem like an interesting idea. I just don't think the anonymity scheme you have developed is very compelling, it has too many assumptions which will never hold true in the real world, double spending prevents it from working as you imagine.

Perhaps if james explains the parts you do not understand a little better. He had the same problem with the darkcoin developers, at first they couldnt grasp the concept ad then finally they eventually understood. There is in irc log of that somewhere in the btcd thread. I think this is a great oppurtunity for cryptonite

#Name change

If we're going to change the name, and I say if, we must make sure it's the correct name. Naming things is an art of it's own. BusinessCoin / Bizcoin / TradeCoin - all taken.

Weecoin, as Minicoin is already taken.

[onetwentyfive]

There was a briefly a previous MiniCoin (just as there was briefly a previous ByteCoin), but it's gone and never coming back.

See the thing is, we purposely avoided choosing any name which had already been used by another coin. I'm sure that even if MiniCoin is totally dead, there are still many remnants of it on the internet which will cause confusion for people. It took us a very long time to find a good name which hadn't already been used, and the domain was still available. I also really like the logo we have, which I paid to have made. At this point it would be a total pain to change the name, but if you want to call it MiniCoin as a secondary name and redirect one or more of those domains to cryptonite.info I wouldn't be against it. Personally I just don't think changing the name would really benefit us very much, I think there are far more important things to focus on, and if the name is good enough now I see no reason to mess with it.

When I tell people about this coin, I have to use the qualifier 'with a c-, not like in superman, and also with an -ite, not night, like, you know, the dark time after the sun goes down' and they say, 'oh it's like bytecoin or monero!' and I say 'no it's an all new POW called M7' and they say 'then why's it named after their POW?' and I say again 'no, it's spelled with an -ite' and they say 'oh like superman!!' and then I give up and change the subject.

WeeCoin actually sounds pretty good imo, it rises interest while at the same time being unique, descriptive and name-like.

[truckythin]

Do you guys talking about new clone or take over this coin from bitfreak and change its name to WeeCoin? 

[go6ooo1212]

"weecoin" isnte better name than cryptonite. I like curent name and I think there is no need changing it...

I'm sorry, but it's not a good name. You say it was chosen to avoid confusion, however there are many people who are confused because of the very name you chose (due to the already existing cryptonotes and cryptonight). The name does cause confusion while doing nothing to describe the function of the coin. Also, just because you paid for a logo doesn't make it good. It looks more like a 'v' than a 'c', imo.

My idea for a name: deoxyribonucleic acid. It's a really tiny chain, there's no way anyone is using this as a coin name, and you have an awesome ticker (DNA). I know, it sucks, but it's still better than cryptonite.

Wee-wee-coin, as it's not a shitcoin

[yellowduck2]

Community vs Developer on name change. Who will prevail ?

[heskey]

Lol

Community vs Developer on name change. Who will prevail ?

Of course wee will prevail!

[mmmaybe]

NanoCoin.

[yellowduck2]

Summer coin did a name change re branding to Navajo coin and price went up from 200+ to 2000 couple of days later because people agree with the name. Community buy those coins , not the developer. If u give what the community wants , they buy the coin. Community is the one buying coin. If u ignore what the community wants , u miss the opportunity to up the price. New name bring new attention. Right now, this coin is in need of more attention.

Mini-Blockchain Coin - XMB ?

(since MBC was apparently taken for a "BroCoin")

[mmmaybe]

Trying to play around abit with Google translate for latin and esperanto, but can't find any decent suggestions, just concluding Monero and Navajo has the best namns ever.

[polanskiman]

All those names sound ridiculous in IMHO. I am mining this coin because I took the time to read about it and see the innovation in it however it is true that the name doesn't convey a serious message. Cryptonite will inevitably be linked to superman and whatnot. Perhaps it's not easy to change a name now, but imagine how it will be later on.

What I don't understand is why most alt coins feel they have to be called some weird names, some more stupid than others. Sometimes I feel there are created by 13 year old pre-teens who are still living in some sort of parallel world. Cryptonite is not a ridiculous name, however it sounds a bit childish and lacks seriousness (I am talking about the name, not the coin).

Why not find a name that has a wider appeal and perhaps is more elegant? If you want to dissociate yourself from other coins, then be creative. Even the "Crypto" is not a necessity.

Just my thought.

IRL this is how it goes...

[catcow]

I'm thinking a name change would be a good idea. There is a lot of chatter going on about how the Cryptonote guys may be associated with a coin-mill churning out alts to pump-and-dump (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0). This could be significantly hurting Cryptonite's reputation. If it wasn't for this issue I wouldn't think a name change would be that important.

I like Mini-Blocks (XMB) for a name.
