Final [BOOLBERRY] Rebrand Vote - Boolberry Confirmed as Brand!

[aikklond]

Boolberry, not sure of which option, maybe B will be better to bring new people in but I have grown to like Boolberry.


P.S. Aureum is definately a bad choice. This is Crypto, a good coins name must be "techie" not a lesson in currency history.

While I haven't made up my mind which name I'm voting for, I will say that the largest IPO in crypto history by far was a coin called Ethereum. Not sure that is any more "techie" than Aureum.  But, your point is well taken.

Do people in the BBR community generally agree that there are people who dismiss BBR simply because of the name?

If so, it would seem to be in your economic interest to change it to something that's less polarizing(whether it's Aureum or not, isn't important).

People who vote for Boolberry, do you feel that Boolberry in general is a superior name for a currency? If you think that cryptos are supposed be used by tech people only, then yeah it just might be. It's a good name for that market. On the other hand, if you think the end game of crypto currencies is a bunch of enthusiasts using them for fun, then we're already here and we've probably peaked.

I like the name Boolberry too, that's a fine choice. I'm not sure it's the name that's going to maximize demand for the currency though in the short term or the long term though. But it's not something we're ever going to know the answer to, as there can only be one name.

It would be nice if the market made objective evaluations of currencies based on their technology or what how they plan to increase adoption, but as we can see the market obviously hasn't chosen BBR yet despite it being currently objectively superior to other anonymous currencies.

the problem is that there are only two options. someone in the bbr thread proposed several rounds of voting with a big name pool, which would be a way better process.

aureum just has a sound to it that i personally don't see as something i would want to pay with. i'd rather pay with boolberries. someone else mentioned the success of ethereums ipo, as proof that a latin sounding name is good. my first thought when i heard about ethereum was that the name sucks. might just be me, but i don't think so.

when i think about branding a cryptocurrency i'm thinking more in the lines of a payment solution, because i think if there is to be a general adoption thats what most people will perceive it as. while boolberry is not the best option in that sense, it could be a lot worse.

there are likely people who will not invest because boolberry doesn't sound serious. some of those voices could just be monero shills tho. they will have to be convinced or a better name finding process has to be introduced.

Yeah, I can definitely understand not liking Aureum. To me it's a pretty neutral name that also has some meaning behind it. It's certainly not a flashy name or anything I don't think, fairly simple.

There haven't been too many suggestions though really. I was hoping to hear more after the post I made yesterday. Maybe naming a currency is really hard and most of the good names are taken. I feel that the BBR community wants to end this chapter of re-branding as soon as possible, as there seems to be a lot of resistance to it.

There's lots of different attributes that you can attempt to convey in naming a cryptocurrency. A payment solution is one. With BBR anonymity and privacy are also one, security is one as well.

One problem with cryptos is that they aren't really succeeding yet as payment solutions. Perhaps overtime they will be developed in to something that can compete with personal credit cards, but we're still likely a few years off from that.

With Monero and BBR I think the value proposition is mainly in the security and privacy of their respective technologies.

Aureum is definately a bad choice. This is Crypto, a good coins name must be "techie" not a lesson in currency history.

Yes, it's true.  Aureum is even worse than Rune.

And it already exists:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=793502.0;topicseen

Ah, what do you know. Aurumcoin random SHA256 coin created a few days ago.

thats a good point.

i read your reseach about the name in the bbr thread and it is a good approach. in my eyes it just has one flaw: they don't exactly roll off the tongue (for me as a not native english speaker) on the account of sounding latin

here is an approach to solve that: just change the words slightly.
some stupid examples that are just food for thought to come up with something better:

aureum = arem

aurei = ari

now they have a decent root that one can point to and are more simple to speak.

before anyone says they suck: yes they do its just quick examples.

[darlidada]

aureum is way better than rune! its good. its been a long time since i havent done any latin but from what i remember the -um ending is the accusative case. i dont know to what extend it effects the word. any latin expert here?

about voting, im getting confused with all the different talk about rebranding then the proposal of stupid names and then the stop of talk about rebranding. i think all of this needs to be done once and for all.

so i delegate my vote to dga. he knows better than me.

One thing that I'd like to point out that is a big positive for BBR in the future is that being a part of superNET should take a lot of the marketing pressure off the coin. Part of the point of superNET is to act as the front end for users so that the people providing the technology like CZ and helpers don't have to worry as much about marketing.

So in that sense superNET should help take some of that load off and make it less of an issue if the name doesn't change. If there is user demand for BBR's improved anon then the name will matter less as people will be able to send BBR via BTCD/NXT. Which also includes buying BBR as part of that transaction.

So if superNET gains traction and a user base as it's intended to, then it won't really matter what the name is as long as people want to send fully anonymous transactions. Which I would assume there will be more demand for in the future. No superNET user is going to say "hey, no way I'm going to send anonymously with something called Boolberry, I'll just send a public transaction instead!". Of course if they need privacy, they're just going to use whatever tools are available through superNET to assist them(which would be teleport+BBR's improved ring sigs).

2B: BBR Ciphers, pronounced Boolberry Ciphers, just to have things colorful  

+ Waiter, do you take Ciphers?
*  Ciphers, what Ciphers!?
+ Boolberry Ciphers, of course 

But all 3 options are good, i'll like it eitherway

It was a tough choice. I went back and forth on this one.  Some thoughts below:

• For BBR, "that will be 10 berries" is easy to say and sounds good.  For Etherium, it is "10 ethers".  Harder to do with Aureum. 10 Aureums? 10 Aures? 10 AU's
• Boolberry is a silly name, but as we are seen, this is becoming an advantage. It is memorable and unique.
• Name is too entranced at this point.  Perhaps if this was done before SuperNet was in the picture, it would have made more sense then, or even earlier.
• No further work is needed in modifying all existing documentation, website, wallet/files/folders, etc. This time can instead put into the tech.

I'm actually quite fond of be name "Boolberry"
