If we need to change the name as well and they are not okay with us keeping Torcoin after removing their icon, a rebranding will occur, which we will need some solid ideas for names guys. Waiting to hear back from them, so far nothing major though, I changed the logo so that in good faith that they will maybe allow us to keep the name.
I have tried to see what my partner says about this and if he will update the site etc, currently awaiting a reply back.
I don't think you should merely ask them via twitter about what you can and cannot do. You need to have some sort of formal conversation with The Tor Project. You should have done this before releasing the coin. You can't just tweet something like "lol opps man can we pleeeease keep the name guys thats'd be cool af!!!1" and expect everything to be ok.
Please stop being unprofessional. I want this project to succeed but you lack judgment Carsen. Please try to start behaving like an adult.
Certainly understandable, I thought my boss had messaged them before, which apparently he did not...
I just sent execdir(at)torproject(dot)org an email in regards to it. If they don't like just the logo change and want the name changed as well, I have no problem in doing a rebrand.
I also honestly didn't think it would take off like this, I also thought we made it super clear we are not affiliated with The Tor Project in anyway....but maybe just maybe they will reconsider.
I haven't received any sort of cease or desist or any contact from them yet, I just saw that post on twitter and thought I would be transparent with the community and with them, I have nothing to hide, I would love to work with The Tor Project honestly, but if not then we don't have to shut Torcoin down, we can just rebrand it to an entirely new name, which it could still succeed from.
