cryptonite better

[e6ug]

# 3  sounds good and removes any confusion. really anything besides minicoin   that just sounds stupid. i would never buy or mine a minicoin.

[primedigger]

Option 4;

I suggest 'MiniCrypt'

The name leaves some connection to Cryptonite and is more suggestive of the Mini-Blockchain technology. Also is doesn't sound like anything Superman/Cryptonote related.

[Soccruo]

Don't change, cryptonite is a smart name.

[zflan]

keep  the same name,it's a good name!

[aminorex]

Crypton.  Just because its the only concrete proposal which doesn't pun on cryptonight, which is a completely different thing and should not be mis-associated to XCN.  Also, since it works with XCN so there's no major problem for exchanges.

[iCEBREAKER]

option 2, Minicoin or Minichain

this is also called Kryptonite https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606682.0

   OK, this is just getting ridiculous!  Have we covered every possible permutation yet?  Is there a Cript O'Nyte lurking out there too?   

So at last count there are THREE coins (one dead, two alive) with a name that is phonetically identical, plus almost identical CyptonOte's POW, which is also another Cryptonight.

Tell me more about how there are no naming collisions... 

Regardless of outcome, I appreciate BF putting the poll up.  But it seems hasty to conduct it over a long holiday weekend, and without a proper run-off to narrow down the best two candidates. 

If BF wanted to make sure nothing changed, a sudden holiday poll that dilutes undesired votes for a different name among multiple challengers (including 'OTHER') would be a good way to do it.  I don't think that was intentional, but the optics stink. 

We should have a run off between the top two, after everyone gets back/comes down from Burning Man.

[darkota]

I suggest Fajan (The haitian word for currecy)

[CryptoElite]

I say lose the "coin" part and call it MicroChain or MicroNite 

[iCEBREAKER]

there is no other coin pronounced exactly like Cryptonite

There are (at last count) THREE other coins pronounced and/or spelled exactly like Cryptonite.  Two are dead, one is very much alive. 

I'm shocked there is not yet a 'KryptoNight' and 'CryptoKnite.'  Well, give it a day or two and they will pop up... 

Kryptonite  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606682.0
Cyptonite - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=700039.0
CryptoKnight - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=274766.0

Now you clearly have to change your vote to MiniCoin.   

I say lose the "coin" part and call it MicroChain or MicroNite 

I'm OK with 'MiniChain' but having a '-coin' suffix is an advantage.  We play with coins as children and this grounding experience provides a rich conceptual field from which we can create metaphors to apply to non-physical crypto currencies.  It's also nice to share/inherit the BitCoin family naming convention.

A name like "Crypton" does not invoke that very descriptive and useful 'coin' schema/vocabulary.  Plus it sounds like the crappy old unstable planet where Superman's family and entire race (minus Zod and Supergirl) died horribly.

Between Minicoin and Cryptonite, I'd rather keep Cryptonite. Minicoin clearly shows no innovation and creativity. Changing the name just because MINI-BLOCKCHAIN + BITCOIN = MINICOIN... well I've said enough.

As for iCEBREAKER, jeez, you are never happy about anything. Now complaining about how the poll is done. Makes me think that you probably have something to lose if MICIcoin is not selected.  OH yes I forgot you already purchased the domain names and have been trying to brainwash everyone with the MINICOIN name

Bitfreak, simply keep Cryptonite and let's put this to rest once and for all. This is becoming utterly RIDICULOUS and as things are going a waste of time for your and catia.

[darkota]

I have to agree, cryptonite resembles kryptonite, and can easily get confused with Superman's kryptonite or the other coins named kryptonite.

But I also think minicoin is a bad name. Anything with the word coin in it, (aside from bitcoin and prob darkcoin) sounds very childish and toylike.

[iCEBREAKER]

Changing the name just because MINI-BLOCKCHAIN + BITCOIN = MINICOIN... well I've said enough.

As for iCEBREAKER, jeez, you are never happy about anything. Now complaining about how the poll is done.

I wasn't the first to complain about the name, nor was I immediately receptive to the idea of changing it.

And nobody ever said we're changing the name "just because MINI-BLOCKCHAIN + BITCOIN = MINICOIN."

Rather, we wish to gauge community support for a re-brand because of the inconvenient naming collisions with Cryptonote, Kryptonite, etc.

I'm happy about lots of things (EG Bitcoin, Monero, Boolberry, and MiniCoin's potential), and I wasn't the first to question the execution of the poll.

You are an intensely dishonest person polanskiman.  You intentionally misrepresented my positions in no less than three ways in a single post.

If you can't debate what was actually said and have to distort the record, it's an admission that your side of the argument is lacking substantive merit.

CryptoBithereumDarkSharesLite (with teleport!)

[bitfreak!]

Ok I'm going to stop this poll early because I've decided what's going to happen. At this rate Cryptonite is going to win by a large margin, and a large group of people will still be unhappy. Since I now own cryptoncoin.com I offer this solution: the official shortened version of the name is now Crypton, so those people who think it's confusing to call it Cryptonite can now refer to it as Crypton or even CryptonCoin if they like. I think this is the best solution we're going to get, I can't do much more to please everyone.

[iCEBREAKER]

Long live CryptoCoin!   

[bitfreak!]

Long live CryptoCoin!   

Very funny... just call it Crypton.

Aye-Aye Sir!

Thanks for putting the poll up, glad to have it over and done with.



Now we can get back to posting pictures of the moon!
